party going up or keep clear out of
the way, as far back as the line of
| autos, so there will be no danger
from rolling rocks.
Watch for the Wild Herd
A herd of antelope lives in the
vicinity of these buttes and they are
seen oftenest on the open plains and
among the cedars On the south and
west of the eastern butte.
Choose Your Home-Going Time
1t is desirable that the procession
shall leave Blackfoot promptly at
9 o'clock in, the morning and that
! they shall leave the Mayohi at 2 in
the afternoon, allowing three hours
for the party to make the ascent,
that enables the party to start home
at o'clock. That will enable the
average driver to arrive at Black
foot by half past seven. Persons who
witness the ascent and do not care
to wait for the party to return, will
of course, be able to start home by
about 4 o'clock.
Road Condition
The roads are in very good condi-
ton considering that all of our
roads are more or less rough and
makes rough riding when a Car ex-
ceeds the twenty-five mile per hour
rate. The trip from Blackfoot to
Taber can be made at from twenty
to thirty miles per hour, but there is
strip of few miles thru the
cedars, where the road is new, and
the average driver will not care to
make more than six or seXen miles
per hour. The road is quite free
from rocks all the way. On some of
the new road in the neighborhood of
the butte, cars will drive at from ten
to twenty miles per hour.
Taber Man Deserves Credit
The picnicers are indebted to A.
F. Willicke, the implement man of
Taber, for his activity in getting the
seven miles of new road built thru
the cedars and the rocks thrown out.
During the last few days he has had
men working on the road, picking
out few remaining lose rocks and
scraping in dirt to cover some places
where the rocks could not be re-
moved
Water for Radiators
There is scarcely any danger from
punctures on this trip to the Mayohi,
~ nd Nfys wit
Delzer brothers for tank wagon to
deliver a cargo Of water at the May
obi for domestic use and radiators.
Merchants Supply Drinks
The Blackfoot merchants have ar
ranged for a cOmmissary car to go
out, carrying sugar, coffee, boiler for
making coffee and few other sup
plies that will be needed. Every
body but the newspaper men and the
governor is expected to take some
lunch; enough for themselves and
some besides. They are requested
not to take any coffee as the mer-
chants will provide that in quaint
ity SO it can be used as desired and
none wasted, and what is not needed
will be returned to the grocery store
from which it is purchased. People
are requested to take tin cups or
something to drink coffee from and
those who can should take cream or
milk for use in the coffee.
No Danger From Cave
A few lanterns will be provided
by the Blackfoot men and persons
having flash lights will be able to use
them in examing the cave. There is
absolutely no danger Of getting lost
in the cave, but persons wearing
thin shoes would do well to take
rubbers along. The floor Of the cave
is damp and may be muddy in places,
at the back end. There is
no element Of danger in going into
the cave and ct one point whore peo-
pie have to get down on "all fours"i
