Daughter of Governor Edgerton

| Everts, was lost for 81 days, but
the rest returned home without
meeting with any serious mishaps
One of their number, Judge Corne-
Illus Hedges, was one of the first
if not the first, to suggest that the
region now known as Wonderland
should become a national park.
Mr.. Everts' tragic experience, an
account of which written by him
was published in Scribner's Maya
izne of November, 1871, advertised
the Upper Yellowstone country,
and it began to be more generally
visited, although it still remained
wilderness. There were no ho-
tells at convenient intervals for the
accommodation of tourists, nor
houses of any description. Those
who undertook the journey pro-
vided their own conveyances and
camping outfit. They ran the risk
of being attacked by wild animals
and equally wild Indians; for the
Crows lived near and were begin
ming to lose their fear of geyser-
land.
Then, in 1877, Chief Joseph and
his Nez Perces were on the war
path, and headed east. In August
of that year they entered western
Montana, but were put to flight but
not captured by General Gibbon at
the Battle of the Big Hole.
That same month, General Sher-
man was in the park, and also
small company from Radersburg,
and one from Helena. The Gen
eral left the park the day Chief
Joseph and his band entered it.
The other parties remained a few
days longer, with serious conse-I
quences. One of the Radersburg
party, Mrs. G. F. Cowan, has given
a vivid sketch of what they were
called upon to undergo, and An
drew J. Weikert has told the story
of the Helena party, and both are
included in the Montana Historical
Records.
When those from Radersburg
entered the park they did not know
of the Nez Perces outbreak, and
only learned of it from the scout
of the Sherman party, who assured
them they were in no danger as the
Indians would avoid that region.
81 observed, however" dryly re-
marks Mrs. Cowan, ''that his party
preferred being elsewhere, as they
left the Basin that night"
The Cowans could not help be-
ing apprehensive, and with reason.
If they did not encounter the In
dams in the park, they were likely |
to do so on their way home. Mrs.
Cowan writes: Naturally we felt
somewhat depressed and worried |
over the news received. My bro
Their Frank (Carpenter) and Al
Oldham, in order to enliven us
somewhat, sang songs, told jokes,
and finally dressed up as brigands.
They made the woods ring with
heir nonsense and merriment for
some time. We probably would
not have been so serene, had we

alive to be fed by the tourists, or
feed themselves from the tourists
stores. Through the wise provi-
sion of the government in making
Wonderland a playground for the
world, this region continues to be
Wonderland, but has ceased being
the Land of Mystery.

creasing numbers, tourists
- throng into the Yellowstone
National park, which adjoins Mon
tana on the south. Most of them
come in their own cars, or are
whirled over the regulation routes
in the regulation time, in the com
pany's conveyances. They catch
a glimpse of the Mammoth Hot
Springs; are told THAT mountain
opposite is Mount Everts" pass
Obsidian Cliff; have a chance to
admire the Paint Pots; are reason
ably sure to witness the playing of
Old Faithful; swing around by the
lake and the Mud Geyser; and ex-
perience the thrill occasioned by
the first sight of the Falls of the
Yellowstone, and the canyon be-
low it.
These casual visitors find this
interesting, as they also do the neat
little folder furnished them, with
its information regarding the park,
and its poem by DR.. William Todd
Helmuth. But even with all they
have seen, and all they have read
concerning it, but few leave there
with much knowledge of the his
tory of the park.
A little over a half century ago,
what is now the Yellowstone park
was an unknown country to the
world at large; avoided by the In
dams, who regarded it with super
stitious awe, and only visited by a
few trappers who, with desire to
preserve their reputation for truth
fitness, refrained from telling
what they had seen there.
An instance when one of them
departed from this rule, was mar
rated to me by Col. Wilbur F. San
ders. Shortly after the latter ar
rived at Bannack, in 1868, he heard
a French trapper give glowing
account of a wonderful region,
which he said lay southeast of
Bannack. He gave a graphic des-
cription of the geysers, and he may
have mentioned the Yellowstone
canyon. His eloquence, however,
was thrown away on his unsym-
pathetic auditors, who received his
story with contemptuous laughter,
believing as they did that the mar
velous tale was the product of
Gallo imagination stimulated by
whisky.
One man who knew of the gey-
sers in 1910 and visited them in
1874 was James Bridger, and he,
like the Frenchman, was thought
to be lying when he told of what
he had seen. 1t is said that the
skepticism with which his earlier
stories met, led the noted scout to
indulge later in some gross exag-
geration, to state it mildly.
Captain Bonneville's men had
heard of the geysers, and some of
them had probably gone into the
park. William S. Bracket states.
in an interesting article published
in the Montana Historical Records,
"In an old Mormon newspaper The
Wasp published at Nauvoo. ILL.,, in
1912, an unknown writer gives an
account of the geysers of Yellow
stone park, which he visited with
one Alvarez, in 1888. This makes
the testimony of Bonneville of
great value as tending to prove
that the geysers of Firehole river
Cor Upper Geyser Basin) in Vel
1owstone park were visited by
white men as early as the year
1885,"

into the Upper Yellowstone coun-

Swiss Flyers Best
In World, Say
Britons
By InternationaI News Service.

LONDON, Nov. %. Switzer-
land possesses the finest air
men in the world, in the cpin-
ion Of British flying officers
recently returned from that
country on a tour of inspection.
The Swiss birdman eclipses
his American, British and French
counterpart in every branch of
flying, according to the officers.
They state that the Swiss Air
Service is small but good, and
it is incumbent on every pilot
and officer to put in a minimum
number of flying hours.
The British attribute the
Swiss country as the reason for
the skill displayed, and they be-
lieve the crisp. clean air Of the
Alps inspires the buoyant spirit
necessary to the airman.

Lieut.. Col. Furlong Delivers Delight full and Colorfrll Address to Mem- bcrs of Woman's Club,

Last evening Lieut.. Col. Furlong brough to the members of the Wom- ans club vivid description of the romance of life in the west. He re- fered to the long wagon trains which for years followed the Oregon trail. Though fraught with danger for tho older pioneers, the children consid- cred it lark. One old resident Of Oregon recalled walking bare loot with her brother from Maine to the Pacific coast as happy memory ofFher childhood. Those boys and girls grew up to work the herds on the open range. They were the ori- ginal cowboys and cowgirls. With the coming of the settlers, who tenc- ed in their property, the railroads and the harvesting machines. tho prairies were ploughed up for wheat. Now the cowboy Is gradually llsap- bearing. This is to be regretted, as the out-of-door life produced strong, courageous, resourceful men. Today the annual "round-ups" are held in reunions for these men, to perpet- uate this love for freedom.
