yearlings playing over great snow
banks on the cold slopes; and cows
peacefully lying in meadows of rich,
short grass and clover. Little streams
and pools of ice-cold water were
everywhere and the elk were pic
ture of contentment and satisfaction
with their ideal summer home. !
"After watching them for about an
hour a large grizzly bear that had
been digging mice on neighboring
slope was seen walking across to-
ward the elk. AS he came in view
their heads went up and the herds
near me gathered into one dense
mass of about 500, old and young,
while the bear walked past close IN
front of them and on over the ridge,
scarcely turning his head to notice
them. The herd was beautiful

Camping in the Rockies.

The camp ground established at
Bartholf park, Rocky Mountain Ma
tional park last year, will be accessi-
BILE this season by the completion of
the automobile road, and second
camping place located. The great
parklike valleys lying east of the
Snowy range are well adapted for
accommodating multitudes of recrea-
ton seekers not only in the numerous
hotels and lodges but under their
own canvas.
In these days when motorists in
rapidly increasing numbers are carry
ing tents and camping outfits of their
own into other national parks, de-
mand has shown itself for similar
privileges here where nature has pro-
vided so excellent an opportunity.
With the accessibility of the Rocky
Mountain National park to Denver
and greater centers of population be-
yond, it is predicted that many be-
sides motorists will pitch tents in the
shadow of the Snowy range.

to some of the grandest scenery in

THE GRIZZLY PASSED ON
After Viewing the Preparations OF

"While we camped at $500 feet
altitude near the head of Fawn creek
In the Gallatin range of the north

tional park" writes Vernon Bailey

States biological survey in book
soon to be issued by the national
park service, II could make out with
a field glass elk herds on the high
ridges south, west, and north of the
camp. BY climbing cautiously, so
as not to distrub the elk, up to 10000
feet on Quadrant mountain south of
camp 1 was soon in the midst of one
of their choice summer ranges.
'Small herds and scattered individ-
uals were seen over the big, open
slopes above timber-line; punches OF

east and west sides of Glacier
National park across the Con-
tinental divide. All of them pass
through scenery of much splendor. All
of them command views on both sides
which are among the great views of
America. Three of these passes are
in actual use; trails will be built across
others when the public demand war
rants.
The most celebrated of the passes
in actual use is Gunsight pass. From
the east it is reached directly from
st. Mary lake, and, by way of Piegan
pass, from Lake McDermott. From
the west it is reached from Lake Nc
Donald, the trail passing the cele-
brated Sperry glacier. The pass is

Just west Of it lies Lake Ellen Wilson.
one of Glaciers greatest celebrities for
beauty. Just east of it lies Gunsight
lake, one of Glaciers greatest celebri-
ties for wildness. At the foot of
Gunsight lake an easy trail of two
miles leads to the Blackfeet glacier,
the largest in the park, the west lobe
Of which is readily reached and pre-
sents, within less than a mile of ice,
an admirable study of practically all
the phenomena of living glaciers.
Swiftcurrent pass crosses the Con-
tinental divide from Lake McDermott
ON the east; on the west side, one
trail leads north to the Waterton lakes
and Canada, another south to Lake Nc
Donald. Four beautiful shelf glaciers
may be seen from the east side of this
pass, and from the crest of the pass,
looking back east, magnificent view
is had of the lake-studded Swiftcur-
rent valley.
Glacier Peak chalet, which stands
on lofty shelf just west of the pass,
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1918-05-24

is the principal objective for the thou
sands who travel this trail from Lake
McDermott. 1t commands gorgeous
view of the great central valley, borS
dered with monster mountains, which
leads north into Canada. From the
chalet horse trail now building will
soon cross the divide back again
through Logan pass. A foot trail
leads from the chalet to the top Of the
Garden Wall directly overlooking the
Swiftcurrent and Grinnell glaciers.
Another foot trail, involving an hours
steady climb, leads to the summit Of
Swiftcurrent mountain, from which
one looks upon complete circle Of su-
preme view, including all of Glacier
National park and generous glimpses
of the Canadian mountains on the
north, the great plains on the east,
and the Rocky mountains on the south
and west.
Brown Pass Will Be Popular.
Brown pass, the trail over which
has been little improved since the old
game days because so few persons use
1T, is destined to become one Of the
most celebrated passes in America.
From the east side the trail leads from
Waterton lake up Olson valley, amid
scenery as sensational as it is unusual,
skirting lakes of individuality and I'M
usual beauty even for Glacier National
park, and enters, at the pass, the
amazingly wild and beautiful cirques
at the head of Bowman lake. Here
is disclosed some Of the widest seen
cry in the world. : From the top of the
pass, one trail drops down to Bowman
lake, which it follows to its outlet and,
thence to a junction with the Flathead
river road, over which the traveller
reaches Lake Mcdonald.
A second lake is planned to be built
this summer to connect Brown pass,
| across sensational SUBMITS, with the
wonderful cirques at the head Of Kint'
| la valley.

ana In consequence my husband could
not accompany us. The colonel insist
ed upon my taking my two children
with US, although both were very
small, my little boy, John A. Logon,
Jr., mere baby. However, he regard
ed the trip in the light of an historic
pilgrimage and felt that the children
should see some of the battlefields
over which distinguished generals had
led their armies.

we arrived in Richmond, and the ho-

afforded one of the evidences of the
privations which the people of the
Confederacy had suffered. These evil
dences were very plentiful throughout
the city, as we later discovered. The
for our conveyance for the drive to the
backgrounds nearby was a wretched
carriage drawn by two miserably poor
horses. The driver was the picture of
detection, and the small boy who
served as footman was no better, and
he shivered from head to foot with
the cold.
"As we drove over the battlefelds
we observed colored people picking up
the bullets and pieces of shell, shrap-
mel, minnie balls, bits of broken cam
non and other iron material. FOun-
dries had set price on this product,
and it afforded quite a livelihood for a
time to the poor about fortified cities
and battlefields.
"We visited the churchyards and
cemeteries at Richmond and Peters
burg made historic through the strug-
giles which had taken place in and
around those cities. There were a
great many burial grounds in those
neighborhoods, because the globes,
which We're land grants from Eng
land to the Episcopal church in
America, had still existed as church
grants at the time of the Civil war
and were used as burial grounds for
the citizens and soldiers.
'In the burying ground near Peters
| burg we saw many hundreds OF
graves of Confederate soldiers, and
| they nearly all bore a small, faded
flag, and the dark, withered wreaths
and remains of their floral decoration
of nearly. a year before. These
mournful mementoes Of the bygone
| tragedy of the South touched me
deeply, and on our return home from
the tour Of the battlefelds / told my
husband of this tribute of the Southern
men and women to their soldier dead
General Logan reciprocated my
feeling as to the fitness Of the senti
ment expressed. He said that 1t was
a revival of the ancient custom, for the
people of ages past in old countries
had performed the rite Of decorating
the graves of their dead heroes witt
flowers. He considered the matter fol
time, and then said he did not SCI
