to be approximately Is miles," says
Hans Hoerlein. 1--WE crossed every
glacier. and at points met with diff

BILE to overcome. Saturday night we
built huge bonfire near Cooper's Spur.
The light of the flames was seen over
all the Upper Valley"
The boys say that they saw band of
animals high on the snowline that they
thought mountain goats or sheep.
However, l have been told that
there are no wild sheep or goats in this
community, and we must have seen a
band of domestic animals, large herds
of which are pastured in the national
forest, that had wandered onto the
snow says Mr.. Hoerlein.

Hood River, Aug. II, '16.


Editor Glacier: l am really sur
prised that man who has travelled as
much az your good self had not heard
of the wonderful fish mentioned in
Fins. Furs and Feathers, this dates
issue.
This is perhaps the most remarkable
fish in the world, and the people living
in Omaha and Council Bluffs, Ia, all
know the history of this remarkable
fish. 1t is evident that you do not, so
will relate the story to you.
When General Grenville Dodge was
building the Union Pacific bridge across
the Missouri river, said river was full
Of Buffalo fish. One evening some Of
the men were fishing in the river close
to the work and caught number of
fish. The General was watching the
sport, when one of the men hooked an
unusually large fish and had very
hard fight on his hands landing the
fish. The General was an interested
spectator and when the. fish was finally
landed the General noted that it was
an exceptionally fine specimen and Of
fered to purchase the fish. But the
man who caught the fish was true
sport and gave the fish to the General,
who petted the fish few moments and
returned it to the water amid 1.-The
shouts of men and screeching of whis-
ties. The fish, to show its apprecia-
tion, disported in the water, leaping
into the air and waving its fins.
From that time on whenever this fish
feels the vibration of a train on the
bridge over the Missouri. it leaps from
the water and waves it's finnial append
age at the passing train.
You may believe this or not, but re-
member that truth is SOMETIMES
stranger than FICTION.
Truthfully yours,

Old ENGLISH Furniture

That fine old furniture is yet found
in Great Britain in many unexpected
places is said to be largely due to the
stirring up of the country that was
given by the great exhibition at Lon
don of 1851. This was soon after the
development of the railway system in
England, and there flocked to London
a large number of squires and their
wives. A new world had opened to the
country danes. The new things had a
wonderful fascination for them. On
returning home they got rid of much of
their old furniture and bought new.
Much Of the old furniture found its
way to secondhand shops and was
sold to poor folk who could not afford
to buy new. This accounts for the
finding today Of much good old furni-
ture in small houses in provincial towns
and among country people.-Indianapo-

Coney IsIand's Start

ginning Of the last century the beach
at Coney Island was frequented by
many New Workers, but it remained
for Corbin to initiate the movement
which has made "Coney" a synonym
for a certain kind of amusement. Cor
bin started his financial career at Dav-
export, Ia, but in 1865 he opened a
banking house in New York, and in
1878 he purchased the eastern part of
Coney Island. There he created the
great resort known as Manhattan
Beach. He also became president of
the Long Island railroad and played a
big part in the development of all the
summer resorts on Long Island. In
the last forty years Coney Island has
become the greatest popular summer
resort in the world, and i'm addition to
the millions of transient visitors from
