None but the immediate relatives of

The bride and groom graduated IN

was made at the Wetas, 10 miles
from Bald Mountain.
Practically all of the country along
the Lochsa as tar as the eye can
reach has been burned over during
the last few years and is now moth
ing but barren waste. No trees.
but little grass and in fact nothing
but barren, rocky soil stretches for
miles along the north bank of the
river. Sixteen years ago when Mr..
Thomas travelled through this sec
tion of the country most of the hills
and mountains were covered with
timber; the canyons, which are now
bone dry, were then watered by
beautiful mountain streams. 1t
seems that wherever the trails have
been built through the government
reserves for the expressed purpose
of protecting the timber, there is
where the fires sprang up and COM
pletely de; ;olated the country.
Tuesday % miles were covered
and camp made at Rye Patch. The
next day at noon found them at
Lowell and three days more of
! travel brought them home.
During the first half of the trip
bad weather prevailed greater
part of the time, as it rained and
showed and was generally disagree
able. The last day of September
brought a welcome change and from
that time on nothing better could
be desired.
But few deer were seen on the
trip. One grizzly bear was sighted
and Mr.. Jessup gave his height as
something in the neignborhood of
eight feet, so it is presumed the at
tempts to get him were less than
halt hearted But one set of horns
was secured as the other two elk
were minus these decorations, not
being the kind that wear horns.
Taking everything into consider
alton, the trip was highly success
/ full, and while but one day was de-
voted to hunting elk, there are no
petter horse hunters anywhere than
the three who returned from the
Lochsa.

Three Get One Elk

Nhe three hunters, Fred Crocker,
Lester Crocker and Harry Wright,
who left September Oath for trip
up the Selway, returned last Sun
day evening with accounts of very
but from the standpoint of
game-getting, not an entirely sue
cessful trip. One elk was bagged by
Harry Wright, and aside from fish
and birds. that was the only game
secured on the trip. There were
plenty of ueer but as the party had
al the meat they could take care Of
during the warm weather which
they encountered, the deer were not
molested. At one place where they
wished to make camp in the evening
they had to run three deer off the
spot where they wanted to pitch
their tent,
1t took six days to go from here
to Freeman's Peak, where perman-
ent camp was made. This is or
dinarlly splendid elk country, but
because of the extremely warm
weather, it appeared that the elk
hadn't come down from the higher
country.
The fishing was all that could be
desired, the only bad feature being
that three men couldn't eat enough
fish to make the sport lasting.
The hunters had bad luck IN try
ing to save the elk meat which they
had on hand. They tried to dry 1T,
but evidently had the fire too hot so
that most of it which they attempt
ed to bring out, spuled.
The fact that the weather was so
warm as to make it difficult to save
the meat, coupled with Fred Crock
er's rheumatism, assisted the men,
bers of the party to make up their
minds to start home earlier than
planned. Mr.. Crocker was forced
to get up several times every
night to thaw out his rheumatism
by the camp fire, which eventually
got to be rather an old story and
took much OF the joy out of the trip.
Lester Crocker, IN describing the
country in the vicinity of their
camp, said that in his opinion it
would never be fit for anything
but game preserve, as there was
no timber and the land was rough
and full of granite rock.
The feed along the breaks of the
Selway was very good, so there was
littel trouble experienced in caring
tor the horses.
The weather was perfect during
the entire trip, the only rain en-
countered being shower on the
day they left Kendrick.

Last Friday word was received
from Springfield, Missouri, that
Alec Galloway had undergone an
operation there for appendicitis.
Sunday a telegram announced his
death.
Mr.. Galloway was one of the
prominent farmers of Bear ridge,

chased bench farm near Kendrlck,
which he was transforming into q
most comfortable home.

been made for the funeral, out it is
expected il will take place Sunday

Hunters Return From Lochsa
Were Out Six Weeks Killed Three Elk and Lost Their
Horses Most of the Time.

By the use of extracts taken from
the diary of Martin Thomas. the fol-
lowing account of a hunting trip up
the Lochsa was secured:
The hunting party, consisting of
Charlie Jessup. Martin Thomas and
son, Harold, left Kendrlck early Sat
urday morning, September 3. The
trip was made by wagon to the
Lochsa in four days and from there
to Old Mans creek took two days
with pack and saddle horses. The
seventh day out proved TO be very
unpleasant on account Of had wealth
err. In attempting to get to the top
of the CIags snow storm was en-
countered and after becoming
thoroughly drenched with the wet
snow and ram the party turned
back and waited for more favorable
weather.
The next days Journey ended at
Two Lakes where it was so cold and
dlsagreeable that even the horses
tried to go back to the lower
country. Fish Lake was reached on
the following day. Probably be-
cause of the cold weather, the fish
ing was not good and only seven
trout were caught. This lake has
been a famous place to fish IN the
past but is getting "tished OUT like
most of the popular fish resorts.
After staying a day at the lake, the
journey was resumed Tuesday over
bad trail to Bear Grass Mountain
and camp pitched at Camp Carlyle,
an old stopping place. where 16 years
ago the Thomas family camped
while making trip to the Jerry
Johnson Springs.
The next days trip was a hard
one as it was necessary to trave
down the side of Bear Grass Noun
tain, a distance of ten miles over ar
extremely rough country, full OF
brush, with not sign of trial. Al
the end of the ten miles camp a;
made at Warm Springs. From thi:
on. a considerable portion of the
time as devoted to hunting horses

A Good Entertainment

The entertainment given by p.
Waldo Davis and his son at the
Methodist church tuesday, was
we'll received here. The attendance
was good, the receipts at the door
totalIng approximately $40. A
pleasing feature of the evening was a
local male quartet, consisting Of A.
N. Rognstad, Rev. Mort, N. E
Walker and A. V. Dunkle. They
sang several numbers IN a very de.
lIghtfuI manner.
The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1921-10-21

closed no one made a move toward
his gun, but it is safe to say there
were three itchy trigger fingers in
camp. After lelsurly surveying the
party the elk walked off. After
breakfast hunt tor HaroId's horse
began. Mr.. Jessup and Harold
climbed the mountain and after
spending greater part OF the day
without finding trace of the horse,
Mr.. Jessup returned to camp while
Harold remained on the mountain
over night so that he might continue
the search the following day.
The next dav while Harold was
looking for the horse the other two
members of the party moved the
outfit to Camp Allen. Harold re-
turned late IN the evening without
the Nurse, so the next day all three
went horse hunting ana finaAv To-
Gated the beast late in the after
noon.
For several days rainy weather
followed and nothing much could
be done. Mr.. Thomas did some
fishing but the weather was too dis
agreeable to make even this sport
a pleasure.
Friday, the twenty third, all but
three horses turned up missing. but
were located the following day
down the river, all except Harold's
/ saddle horse, which, after three days
hunting was again captured by Mr..
Thomas.
On October 3rd the first hunting
was done and by sundown of that
day three elk had been bagged. As
this was the limit, the rifles were
put away until next year. The Kill.
ing of the elk proved to be the
easiest part of 1t. After the car.
cases had been partially dressed the
hunters returned to camp, distance
of about eight miles and the mex,
morning took the horses up the
mountain after the meat. 1t was &
busy time drying and curing the
meat so that it could be brought
home and this took several day!
of hard labor. 1t was worth the
effort, however, as the writer car
truly testify.
