A Chalet With . History.

This site has q picturesque history
A chalet camp was originally built
there several years ago by the compan ny
operating the east side hotels. Long
after the close Of the first season and
just before alternating time, a big
hungry grizzly bear broke in and de.
vonred everything eatable. He then
proceeded to smash into bits every
thing in the chalet which was smash
able. Not n piece of furniture was left
undemolished.
The next season the hotel company
refitted the chalet and took care Of the
summers business: but that following
winter an enormous avalanche slipped
down the eastern slopes of Mount
jackson and demolished the entire
structure as completely as the grizzly
had previously demolished Its furni-
ture.
This discouraged the hotel company:
the chalet was not rebuilt. But q rest
house was badly needed at this spot,
so the department OF the interior ID
replacing the chalet with a shelter
cabin. The materials for the building
OF the cabin are conveniently at hand
Another Of the shelter cabins will
be found at Iceberg lake. that wonder
spot so near to Lake McDermott. II
will serve as the luncheon kitchen and
rest house for thousands who make
the amazing one-day trip from Nc
Dermott to gaze upon It's gigantic
gorge. explore its mimic glacier, and
revel in its berg dotted lake.
Other shelter cabins will be found
on the Triple divide and at Red Eagle
lake.

curious and pathetic sensation to
see the Belgian flags still flying
bravely. The different ministries
are set up here, and one villa has
been set aside for the King and
