LOG OF THE
YELLOWSTONE
HIKERS
Planting 1900 Black Spot
ted Trout in Deception
Lake

Saturday morning following oui
arrival at Old Faithful the boys
accompanied Ranger Tfishman
who was taking the horses back tt
headquarters as far as Madison
Junction, the source Of the Madi-
son River at the confluence of the
Firehole and Gibbon. Here, where
the park idea had its birth, at the
camp FIRE Of the Washhurn- Done
party, on Il September evening just
80 years ago, The Park Service
has a store house.
u The boys spent the remainder
of the day here with the old state
of Maine character, who is IN
charge and whom | have known
for years. They have not yet
stopped telling Of the quaint
things he said, for his language IS
always far more picturesque than
elegant.
A special coach was sent for the
boys in the evening by the Old
Faithful agent of the Yellowstone
transportation Co.
My own day was more strenu-
7ous, for Chief Ranger Woodring
called for me at $50 a. NJ, took
me in the side car Of his motor
cycle and we made the Lake out
Net 80 miles away for breakfast.
THE first stage of the journey
sOver the Continental Divide to the
Whumb is one Of the most difficult
sstretches in the Park, mountain
Aous, narrow and crooked. For
SalmOst the entire distance the
Speed limit is - miles per hour--we
Fnade the entire 35 miles in a little
gpver an hour, not being subject to
Regulations.
n As quickly as possible after
breakfast at the hatchery mess
Ehouse, we left by the Bureau of
Fisheries launch for a southern
point on the Lake, from which we
back-packed in knapsack cans
amade for the purpose by the C. H.
RGoss Co., 1000 black spotted trout
80 Deception Lake.
n Deception Lake is one of the
many outlying sink holes left by
yellowstone Lake, when it left its
pld Pacific Coast level, $50 feet
fabove its present altitude, and
took its new channel to the Allan
tic.
d That the old lake had no fish,
us indicated by the fact that these
outlying lakes are naturally unin-
habited. Several Of them have
sheen successfully stocked during
the past few years. This one, 1
beautiful lake from two to three
miles long, was visited by Com
missioner Smith and the writer
during the summer of 1919. Prob
ably no human being has been on
Its shores since then.
Returning to the Lake Outlet,
we "bucked the traffic, which is
permitted to travel in one direction
only, back to Old Faithful, arriv-
ing in the early evening, a total
distance for the day of 70 miles
by motorcycle, 20 by boat and >
on foot. Resides the "sagebrush"
cars of which there were a large
number, we met 50 of the Yellow
coaches Of the transportation COM
pany. This means that upwards
OF 500 passengers passed over this
leg of the Park journey bv public
conveyance alone on that day.
Sunday was spent quietly at
camp on the Gcyser formations
and in planning our movements
for the remaining two days in the
Park.

VALUED SLAVE
ABOVE WEALTH

ATLANTA, August 28-It
Thomas Peacock had chung to a
piece of Atlantic rail estate that he
snapped years ago for Ran Pea
cock, a negro slave, he would have
been worth at least 100000 before
he died. But he never regretted it,
according to his statement.
Death now has GAINED them
both. Mr. Peacock died few years
ago, and "Uncle Ran" passed away
| the other day at the age of 83. The
property increases in value yearly
as Atlanta grows, "but it was the
best bargain l ever made" was
! the white mans remark few
years ago when he saw a great Of
flee building going up on the lot at
Whitehall and Alabama streets,
one of the most valuable corners in
the city.
The story behind the trade is
that of the affection of the old-time
Southern for the slave boy who
was his especial playmate. Seven
ty years ago before Lewis Peacock
died, in apportioning out his pro-
perry he left Ran to his daughter,
Mrs. Thomas Connolly. Young
Thomas Peacock, a few years la
ter, gave his sister his fourth in
terest in the A'abama-W hitehall
corner for Ran. who, as likely
young negro, was worth around
81, 800 Mrs. Connolly's son now
owns the lot and the Connolly
building which stands on it. Real
estate men say the lot itself is
worth 100000 OF more.
Peacock said it was the best bar
gain he ever made because when he
went away to war he left Ran TO
take care of Mrs. Peacock and the
children and it was Ran who WORK
ed the plantation near Atlanta and
foraged for the wife and children
of his master after Sherman's sold
iers had burned the city and strip
ped the countryside Of food.

Dakota, South Dakota, Michigan,
Idaho Ito mention only few, where
prominent Farm Bureau workers or
leaders stepped out of the college,
cloisters or county agent work into
official places in this alleged >"farm"
organization.
An interesting comment on the
origin and closeness of the Farm Bu-
reau to governmental authority and
support is the statement of Clifford
Thorne, national attorney for the
Farm federation and it's subsidiary
grain company, the U. S. Grain Grow
ers, Inc. Mr.. Thorne says, addressing
the Bureau federation as whole:
"Your local county and township
units, with the county agent, consti-
tute most admirable foundation, su-
perior to that of any other organiza-
tion within my knowledge"
E. J. Leonard, secretary of the Colo
rado state Farm Bureau federation,
writing in the "County Agent and
Farm Bureau" official organ of the
National County Agents association,
said recently:
"Since the Farm Bureau has the
vital connection with governmental in
stitutions without any danger of con-
troll of it's officers or activities
it is reasonable to conclude that the
Farm Bureau is the one universal Or
ganization of farmers destined to fill
most important place in our national
life"
It is upon the strength of just such
claims and assertions that the Farm
Bureau has been built. These claims
and assertions now weigh heavily
upon both the Farm Bureau organiza-
tion and upon the governmental au-
thorities who have so willingly let
themselves be used by designing in
terests to destroy the real farmer Or
ganizations. This is indicated by DR..
Pearson's warning, quoted above.

La TOILETTE RANTS AND TEARS
Defends Position During War and
Criticises Government

Senator Robert M. LaFollette oc-
casioned surprise when he addressed
large audience at Bismarck Monday
night and devoted . good part Of his
two and q half hour address to a de-
fense Of his stand during the war and
to bitterly criticizing the govern
ment's conduct before and during the
war.
Declaring that we were lied into
this war and lied to all through the
war, the Wisconsin senator asserted
that the United States did not OBJ
serve impartial neutrality before
Americas entrance into The war, that
Germany was Disseminated against,
and asserted that England's blockade
Of Germany was the excuse for Ger
many's submarine warfare.
Senator LaFollette denounced Wall
street, claiming it was the. financial
interests Of Wall street who precipi-
tated the recent war. He declared
they had underwritten the allies and
when it appeared that Germany
would be the victor, forced America
to participate in the war in order to
insure the safety Of their money. II
was a profitable business, he de-
clared.
"America hasn't got friend in the
world except China" he concluded.
LaFollette declared that he saw in
the, nonpartisan league movement one
similar to that which swept over the
northwest in the '70s. He asserted
that two per cent Of the people Of the
United States own 65 per cent Of the
wealth, and he condemned this cen
tralized control Of money. His son
Phillip, preceded him for half an hour,
speaking along much the same line aa
his father. q
