Mrs. Boyd Writes of
 Trail Trip to K0bi

Kobi, April Eve made Kobi in eight and one-half days, and have had most pleasant trip. so far as weather and trail had anyt hing to do with it.
 We made Big river in five and one- half hours, to find Dick Rhodes his usual genial self, and he certainly fur nished the good eats in plenty.
 Leaving Dicks at 8 a. m., the 27th, we reached Nicoli at 2:30 D. m., only to find the native roadhouse absolutely filled with returning oid-timers. We decided to push on to East Fork cabin a distance of eight miles, where we camped with big Ed Jerne.
 From East Fork cabin we easily made Slow Fork, where native keeps a fairly good roadhouse, though sleeping room was at premium even on the floor.
 From East Fork to Slow Fork we had our worst trouble. The trail was soft. and one whole side would give way. and our load would topple over into three or four feet of snow. We had a perfectly good hand-ax and pair of skis, so we had only to set to work, dig it out and build an incline to the trail, stamp it down with our feet, tug the sled around-did you ever try to lift your share of 800 pounds?-then start the dogs. Sometimes we didn't fall back more than three or four times before we made it.
 The Slow Fork stop proved an excit- ing one for us, and it was here that we received a lesson in early rising. A party of mushers came in, and one of them wanted breakfast in time to start at a. m., but the proprietor opined that o'clock was plenty early. How ever, others told hlm he must do as his patrons wanted. He went to bed with a qruut that convinced all yresent that $ o'clock would be the breakfast hour. So when au alarm awoke the echoes a few of us crawled out. A few minutes later the proprietor hammered the NlIu Hio uScI duQ duuOuuCou. S'Evlybod op, One bleakfas' this house."
 Everybody "opped." After break fast someone looked out and announced, Great Scott! it's as dark as pitch"'
 A general consultation of watches followed. Well, I'll be blowed," said Bill Goss, tits only half past three o'clockw
 The early rising musher adjusted his pack and with grin of triumph de- parted, leaving crowd of rather silly looking mushers shivering around the stove-all save Bill Goss, who calmly returned to his bunk. When slightly reprimanded the roadhouse keeper said: "You speak early; me ketchum early"
 From Slow Fork we made Telido for lunch, where Sergio and old Wassalei's $ daughter keep two-cabin roadhouse. That night, the 18th, we stayed at Joe Wills tent, where five of us camped in atent l0x8.

 Prem Roosevelt we made a tGoyern- ment cabin, where we camped witt four old-timers- They stated that the Kobi trail is, or always has been, per fectly safe until May or later. One of them travelled it last year between May 9th and 10th. The earliest creek to open last year was small one which broke mp May 10th, and which in nc way affected the trail. They said that of course, toward May there were apt to be overaows. but no worse tnar any spring trail and absolutely noth. ing dangerous
 Twenty seven miles from the Gov ernment cabin is Knight s, which VIC made by o'clock that afternoon, bu, decided to stay over night. At this place Henry Knight has fairly -good roadhause, good stables, dog barns, etc.. and serves good meals. From Knights to Kobi is 26 miles, where we arrived shortly after noon today. There is government cabin half way be. tween these last two places, fitted with stove and bunks-
 At the cabin 2 miles from Knights @ roadhouse is already under construc- tion. There are splendid locations for loadhouses at Wills cabin and at any of the native-kept places.
 The trail this way from Roosevelt is somewhat cut up by the heavy hauling with horses, and is over rolling ground, but there IS not foot of the traiI tha, l couldn't have driven nay own team over in perfect safety. The only open water saw were several small streams which were babbling aloag as fit were July, but they came from warm springs and are safely bridged.

survey OF the land situation l found
that there is wealth of splendid
land in this state, morr than enough
to meet the requirements of the
people for many years.
There is no excuse for the mall
practice of buying UP worthless land
