n of the motorists who was
tied up there during the flood. has
written the following account Of
their experiences:
1.-THE guests were entertained by
Mr.. and Mrs. A. C. Archer of Walt
man and their assistants. Various
indoor sports were INDUCED in In
GLIDING five hundred. pitch. solo and
rummy. Leading topics Of the day
were discussed at length and many
a merry quip and Jest were passed.
Conditions at Powder River were
the subject of much criticism and
speculation. Four federal repre-
sentatives who arrived late Satur-
day evening were not able to curb
the wet elements. Waltman. as n
pleasure resort had been gaining
hourly in popularity. new guests
arriving at regular intervals as
news of its numerous attractive fea-
lures reaches them. Those who left
on Saturday were Messrs. c. l..
Thompson. NJ. ]. Burk of Casper and
]. p. Juett Of Denver. They have
since telephoned their sorrow at
having departed SO unceremonfous.
", as owing to a eight miscarriage
in their plans they were compelled
to spend the entire night in h mar
row confines of their automobiles
Asmewhere near Natrona and report
having spent a very restless night.
Religious services were conduct

song service. DR.. Olson delivered Q
very capable and instructive dis
course which was greatly appre-
ciated.
"At 1890 p. m. was heard the
loud jingling of spurs and h swish
swash Of wet chaps and who
should breeze into our midst but
Alkali Jack spratt of Badwater,
wet worn and weary from caring
for his herds. Shortly thereafter
we were visited by royalty in the
person of j. Witherington Brook
walter of the Royal Baking Powder
accompanied by a guard
OF honor consisting of four royal
guardsmen in. the picturesque garb
of huntsmen. Sunday afternoon
Rev. Olson entertained the assem-
blage with n mouth organ recital
concluding with a new selection of
his own composition which he calls
Home Sweet Home" This he
played in various keys and times,
NTH and without variations. first in
sad sweet strains fully changing
the time to Jazz. An attempt was
made to stage a debate but aban-
doned because OF the perfect accord
of all minds with reference to the
questions suggested, which mainly
referred to the weather, the high
ways. Powder River. the ladies. the
railroads and moonshine whiskey.
Ono more subject was mentioned
4. O., Gov. Walton of Oklahoma but
after a few remarks by John Byrne
of Tulsa. on this subject. no
cared to assume tho opposing argu-
ment.
ION Sunday evening stories were
told and songs were almost sung.
hymn books were provided for all
by good Mrs. Archer. Having ex'
hausted the hymn books we all
Joined in singing Way Down Upon
the Powder River, the words of
which follow:
Way down upon the Powder River
Here's where we'll stay
Seems like we'll be right here
forever
For there is no highway.
CHORUS.
All this state is wet and bleary
- Everywhere we roam
oh mister, how our hearts grow
weary
Waiting to get back home.
During the mid.afternoon the
party gathered on the front veranda
of the hotel and were photographed
by w. J.. Carpenter OF Casper.
J.. witherington Brookwalter started
something by suggesting to Mr..
Carpenter mat he set a price on the
pictures. 4 am a sportsman re-
piled Mr.. Carpenter. and I've been
on a hunting trip and haven't
reached home yet. and I am not
on this trip to make any money;
those who wish the pictures need
