 tits bin long time sinse i tux my typewriter in hand to pen you fue lines, but we hay bin so buse we aint had no chanst. When last I Tit we wuz in lake louise where it wuz a good thing there now we hay bin bak in the land of ice water and prohibshun fur kwite spell and eatin kinda regular like
 'The nekst phase we stopt after lake Louise was Van Koovur 1t was named Fur dutchman or something think. but
 is a nice phase. There wuz lots to see. but the best thing think wuz a shimmying hrlge. If you don't know what a shim- mying hrige is it is brige acrost depe cannion made out of ropes stretched from one side to the other. This brige had 2 ropes With slatz in between to walk on, and wus about zoo yds long, and the can- nion wuz about POO yds. dope and it wuz short a dizzy site with nuthing between you and the rocks but thin slatz and Ozone. We wuz skairt to go out there altogether and sent Steeny Thompson ahed to test the brige and SC if it wuz strong. steeny got almost 1s way acrost when the brige started to swing and shlmmy bak and 4th and steeny turnd round and sed he thout he'd kum bak he could mt get bak very fast fur it was raneing and the slatz sloped pretty bad and wuz slippery as the dooce. when finally he reached the shore he was well nye exhosted frum laburs and We wuz plum exhosted frum laffing. anyhow | hrip xy,1 cfyD akrost-that is ecksept steeny who sat in pavilyon and drank near beer. Hspekeing of nere beer this is another case of deceptive distance. I am luking at sum mts out of the kar window which look like red mt. does from the viadukt. but they are 100 miles away and in an- uther state. It's that way about nere beer out here. It looks cost as the mischeef but if beer was in ida hoe this stuff we get to drink would be in the milky way stlll and all it's good full the imagination to have httel eksersize once in a while ''We had tuf lulS at van koever as the boys wuz only abel to smuggle kupple of kasas of the stuff that makes sim liners such fine sinners. it seemed that the reg ular inspecshun offiser was on a vaca- ton up in muse jaw and the deputy on the job wuz myoppic. and over lukked these kases. they wuz stored under the mattresses and the nekst morning in see attel most of the boys had dentes in their spinul kollums., in see attel we dned on fatted brest of chikken and fatted pasific shrimps and sech. see attel is fine town ! full of hills and lakes and chnamen and kurio stores. we wound up there with a big ball and left afser midnite fur port land
 in portland we tux the toun. One of the florryda boys with us had brought bunch of live ally gaturs and we turnd them luse in the convenshun hall and caused the stamped to Merser. he wuz eeckted without dissenting vote after ? or 3 dellygates had got sum indigestible speeches off their chests and the conven- shun voted to go to kleveland nekst yere becaus that is where merser did his courtin.
 we aint got as much jazz in our sis- tems as we had in cana-aday, so guess this will hay to do ter day. will rite again in a day or after we cum out of yellerstone if we ant got nuthin better 2 do.
