ago from the Brattenbush springs

This is especially distressing to any
one who has rheumatism. The trail
is so narrow in places that misstep

Sometimes you get dizzy looking down

1t will certainly give an appetite to
go over this trail.
Mrs. Hazel Waugh MacLean has
returned to her home in San Fran
