early years of his services, the
country in which he did the
greater proportion of the work
was a wilderness, trackless, ex-
cept the traces" made by the
buffaIoes. He and his assistants
were obliged to encamp in the
open. One of the necessary as
sistants to such a surveying par
ty was a man, whose duty it
was to seek wild game in the
forests, and to keep the party
supplied with meat. which he
did by killing bears, buffaloes
and turkeys, and probably other
game. The original surveys of
a great deal of the lands situated
in the counties, through which
the Green river passes, from its
headwaters, to as far west, as
the mouth of the Big Barren riv-
er, as well as lands upon both |
sides of the Cumberland, as far
down that river, as the confines
of Monroe county, were made ty
Judge Robert Todd. Just when
he removed his residence from
Lexington, to Green county, is
not now remembered, but, in the
year, 1900, he was the owner
and residing upon a tract of
land, near Bridgeport, in the
present county of Metcalfe, but
then a portion of the county of
Green. The land upon which he
made his home, at that time, in
after years, became the property
of Mr.. Hyram Koyse. and has
now for many years been known
as the "old Hyram Royse Place. +"
When Adair county was created
ia the year, 1901 out of the coun-
, ty of Green, that portion of the
present county of Metcalfe,
where Judge Todd lived was in
cluded in Adair county. When
2 Gov. Garrard came to appoint
, and commission the justices of
the first county court for Adair
, county, Robert Todd was one OF
; the number. The law did not
then provide for Judge of the
, county court, as it now does, anC

WEST POINT CADETS TO
TOPS OF ITALYS ALPS

MOUNT GRAPPA. italy, Oct "a
Cadets Of the graduating class Of the
United States Military academy at West
Point who are visiting battle fields Of
the world war. had four days OF thrills
sn their visit to the Italian front, when
they were taken to the submits OF
Mount sabatino, Mount GrappA and
Mount St. Michael, a series OF positions
3n the italian Alps which were scenes
% mountain fighting by the Italian army
IN the war.
Mount Grappa is approximately 5000
feet high, Is a solid rock projecting into
space In gigantic proportions and al
most perpendicular on its sides. The
ascent Is made by a series Of winding
roads made on the western side in q
~eMitchhack formation. There are 80
~switchhacks each approximately 200
yards in length curving at each end in
q breath-tnking curve.
The engineering work staggerS the
Imagination. The bare mountain would
have convinced one Of the impossibility
Of the ascent by road but the army
engineers accomplished the task, con-
structinE the roads ia such n way that
a garrison OF two army corps could be
Kept IN full operation, during the enc
tire war with supplies OF ammunition,
food and equipment.
THAT surely was a great ride" said
one Of the West Point cadets TO the
Associated Press correspondent. III
