Road Officials Here

In response to request from the fWrangell Commercial Club c. w.
 Cheatham, R. J. Sommers and B. F Heintzleman arrived in Wrangell Thursday morning to look over the route of a proposed road from the outlet of Mill Creek to Groundhog Basin. The Commercial Club invited
 these gentlemen to come to Wrangell believing that a close investigation fof the project would show the neces- rity for such road.
 The U. s. Geological Survey has already established the fact that tht Grounding Basin is a heavy mineral ized belt, but a good road is neces- sary before it can be properly devel- Ioped.
 Private individuals who own min ing property in this region have all ready spent a considerable sum of money in getting a trail built which can be used by pack train in sum- mer and sleds in winter. but this trail is wholly inadequate to the needs of this important mining dis trict, the development of which de- pends more than anything else on a good road from the beach to where the ming properties are located, distance of about eight miles.

is;artled and fell down. Coulter gt@oDed his spear and pinned him ti the ground. He then ran on to tn river, jumped in and swam out to nall island bar where he dived un der some drift wood
 His one pursuer had seen him lea into the Jefferson, but the high ban had prevented his seeing in which direction Coulter swan. The ragin. Indians searched all day up an6 down the river banks They could not understand how their victim could so completely disappear.
 He stayed there the remainder of the day. That night he swan down the river and got out on the opposite bank. He was still in great danger SC he decided to start for Hisa's fort He journeyed up the Madison and travelled for three nights and days with no clothing and only what food h. could find such as berries and roots. On the morning of the fourth day he sighted smoke up the valley and wondered if it were an Indian i1y na y,1v, Nnv,f fur trader or trapper. If it were the latter he would get food and cloth ing but if it were an Indian encamp- ment he would get killed. He went on up the canyon keeping under cover the best he could. As he came closer he could hear water boiling and smell sulphurous fumes from it. The smoke he had seen was steam from geysers in what Is now known as the Yellowstone National Park the worlds most famous playground AS Coulter went on up the Canyon Iit widened out and he recognized 1t as the place the Indians had told him about. They had called it the place of evil spirits, a place accursed where they never ventured. Black feet Indians afterward called it Coulter's He'll and said that Coulter was one of the spirits that caused all the noise and steam that comes from geysers. The Indians feared Coulter more than ever as he was safe in The Land of Devils.
 Coulter did not know that the In. dians feared this place and he only stopped long enough to pick some berries and bathe in the warm water He then went on and when he camt tu the Yellowstone river he followed it down to the fort at the mouth of the Big Horn. His journey took him seven days and he was without food or clothing. Only a sturdy trapper could have stood this experience.
 At the fort Coulter secured clothes and supplies and told his story. No one believed him, until the Indians told that it was true. Coulter showed his courage by going back into the mountains and trapping for another year. He then went east, married and settled down. Later he admit ted that it was pretty tame life for a trapper.

COULTER RACE FOR LIFE
 (By Lowell Shafer)

(By Lowell Sna1er)
 John Coulter crossed the Rocky Mountains with Lewis and Clark. During that time he took liking to the wilderness and after the expe- dition was over he returned to trap. In those days a trapper's life was all ways in danger and it was during this time that Coulter ran his famous race for life, according to J. U. San ders, commonly known as "Old War Horse. He writes in 1922. The Coulter incident took place in Madi- son County. Coulter ran up the Mad ison river in his race for life. The thrilling event took place during the year of 1908.
 Coulter and another man by the name of Potts were trapping togeth CT down on the lower Jefferson. They used to go there to look at their traps in the early morning before daylight. This morning they were rowing along in their canoe when they heard a noise like the tramping of the buffaloes that often came to the river to drink They paid no attention and went on and looked at their traps, of which two were miss ing. They hunted for them for a while but finally decided they might be seen by warning Indians if they stayed out too long.
 Just before they came to their camp
 here vas sharp bend in the river and as they rounded this they came face to face with a large band of Blackfeet warriors who were their greatest enemies. The minute the Indians knew the white men had seen them they gave their blood curdling war cry, which if you have ever heard, will make your blood run cold to just remember. Coulter knew it was useless to try to escape so they rowed ashore. The moment the canoe touched the bank, one of the Indians snatched Potts rifle. This langered Coulter and he took the gun away from the Indian and gave it to Potts. It was then that Potts tried to escape but one of the warriors wounded him with an arrow. This langered Potts and he shot the Indian dead. Several of the Indians shot Potts with poisoned arrows and he died almost instantly.
 The Indians were then in a wild rage and decided that Coulter's fate should be the death trial. This was to strip him of his weapons and clothes and give him a start; then they would all take after him. The one who killed him was to get his scalp.
 Coulter knew there was no use tc beg for his life so he strode bravely out in front of them and started to run. He took them by surprise and was we'll under way before they be- gan the chase. Coulter was a good runner and slowly drew away from the Indians. He sped on over six miles of plain covered with prickly pear, and was nearing the river again when he looked back to find that only two were following him. | Coulter was nearly to the river
 when. because he made an extra last spurt, blood vessel broke, and blood
 poured from his mouth and nose. He
 then slowed up and one of the In
 dians nearly caught up with him
 when he turned. The Indian seeing
 him so hideously blood covered wal
