COCKTAIL FLATS
 RELIEVE THIRSTS
Dry Utah Is Surrounded By Alcoholic
 Area
BY GEORGE D. CRISSEY United Press Stan COrreSpOndcnt) ]

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Salt Lake City, Utah - (UP)- The net result of repeal in dry Utah, the state that cast the de- ciding vote against national pro- .hibition, has been to revive cock tail fiat operations and apartment house bootegging.
 Spcakeasies. heretofore operat- ing In defiance of both state and national laws. now are legal na- tionally and. with sobs, the own CTS have seen the thirsty turn up their noses at the raw brands of legal liquor offered. still being thirsty. the drinkers sought other places and, naturally, such places sprang up to take care of them.
 In short. corn liquor from Ne wade and Wyoming and sugar whiskey from Idaho and Utah it. self remains the favorite with To- cal drinkers.
 And the speakeasies., due to in- terference by internal revenue men interested in collecting fed ,eral taxes only, dare not handle the moonshine product.
 But apartment house opera tions are difforent. A half dozen rev enue men cannot search every in- diVidual apartment in a city of 150.000 persons. So the moon shine drifted to the apartments, and tho drinkers, unable to stom- ach the blend whislties smuggled here from adjoining wet states, followed the inoonshine. Thar hurt the speakeagies.
 Immediately following repeal, revenue men became active and all the illegal fancy drinks dis appeared from uptown bars. They had to go legal, from the federal viewpoint, Authorized blends and gins, the latter not bit better than the bathanb type. were the only beverages available. The cocktail flats, being more isolated, did better than that, with the ul- timate result that there are four times as many as there were.

Sheriff Phil Isaac, father of o. q.

records at that time seem to have been
destroyed.

Kennedy Creek
ECut-off New Park
Road to Canada

Good progress is being made on the
new park highway, the Belly river
Kennedy creek cutoff, which will link
Waterton and Glacier and which, 1t
is confidently expected, will be ready
for the 1885 tourist season. Motor traf-
fic into Waterton park jumped 100 per-
cent this year, and, with the opening
of the new scenic motor way connect
ing directly the sister lakes, another
big increase is looked for.
When completed, the new o will
be 81 miles long; of this distance, some
is miles are in Canada. It will be a
delightful drive, opening an entirely
new scenic region. Leaving the juno
ture Of the Cardston-Waterton trail
approximately half a mile east Of the
Waterton river bridge, it gradually runs
in a s~outheasterly direction along the
base of the mountains to cross the IN
ternational boundary near the summit
of Lee ridge and a crest four miles
north of Chief mountain, famous land
mark of the boundary region.
The road runs through willow and
poplar forest, winding up the foothills
to a height of 5,24O feet, 1000 feet above
Waterton lakes. From the summit one
obtains a magnificent view of the
mountains, numerous lakes and the
foothills country. To the west is an
inspiring panoramic view of Waterton
lakes, with Mount Cleveland towering
high into the clouds. To the south Is a
dense forest of poplar, evergreen and
willows, with many lakes and pleasant
rolling country at the base OF the
mountains.
From the summit of this drive. the
highway descends through open conn-
try, with a fine view Of Sofa ridge and
the mountain range Of which Chief
mountain is the outstanding peak, run
ming along a glacial moraine. The
country between the road and the
mountains is marshy, replete with
beaver ponds. A large herd Of elk
range here in the winter and early
spring. Following the edge Of this
country, the road descends into the
valley Of Belly river and crosses this
stream 10l miles from Waterton bridge.
From this point the new road winds
up the valley on the east side Of the
river through pine and spruce country
to where it crosses the International
boundary to connect with the American
section Of the highway.
The highway win open an entirely
new section Of Waterton park, with
numerous trails accessible. 80

They enjoyed the convenience Of the
hotel. On the 18th they were in camp
in Idaho on a creek just west of Tim
Der and south Of the road and the
small butte. Arriving just before dark,
they found "the mosquitoes and midges
were so thick it almost crazed us and
the horses, too" The tent was pitched,
bread baked and a meal of broiled elk,
fried potatoes and green tea was en-
joyed.
Moving on after noting the actions
of a flock Of sandhin cranes, that elk
were about them in abundance which
they could hear believing in the hills,
catching some grayling trout, listen
ing to the drum of the partridge and
quacking Of wild duck, MI. Wiley was
in camp in front of Livermore's house
on Henry's Lake, Idaho. An early start
was made On the following morning,
stopping for lunch lat some immense
fir trees. Just as we arrived here 10 or
Is young mountain grouse fluttered up
and on a log sat a big one. I bagged
all around trying to find more, but
couldn't"
They saw some wild swan swimming
in the water. I'm the fall, ducks, geese
ar swan are here by the million"
Many were then in the swamps, breed
ing. Some ducks were seen on the lake.
Until a week ago n could shoot
antelope from the door of the cabin,
but a week ago seven lodges Of Ban
nacks came here and have driven the
game off. Bad luck! MI. Livermore Is a
horse-rancher." A day or two was spent
at Henry's Lake in hunting.
In camp at Indian creek, 10 miles
west of Wolf creek. The Madison is IA
miles southwest" writes MI. Wiley in
his diary ON Monday, July %. I'VE
started at 1890 this morning and drove
nine miles over arid plains. This creek
delights us and we stopped for noon
There are log buildings u%noccupied
here" The creek was full of Cravings,
and many were caught by the party,
Changing the pole to a gun, some cur-
lew were shot. There was plenty to
eat.
What a blessing an appetite is when
food is to be had," writes Mr.. Wiley.
I'VE met a rancher just as we arrived
here and got IL pounds of potatoes
and q quarter pound of sugar-good
luck. We had fried Grayling for sup
per at about nine O'Clock and are nov
ready to 60 to Sleep"
MI. Wiley and his son were in camp
on Wednesday, July Is, heal a small
run Cooley just "as we leave the
Madison river" They left camp on the
previous morning and rode % miles
to the Ennis store and postoffice. After
posting some mail I'VE retraced our
track two miles to Hayden's ranch and
got q very good dinner. How good it
did seem to get legs under a table
and sit on a chair. We enjoyed it ex-
ceedingly; the house wa as neat as
wax"
The horses were given their first oats
since they left Gardiner. Returning
to Ennis, provisions were purchased
when they pushed on to Meadow creek,
eight miles, where they found two
hotels, then went on two miles and
came to Q beautiful spring Of cold
water. Here We pitched tent and got a
rather late supper"

COMING OF NEW
ROAD TO MILES
OUT IN ADMIRABLE MANNER BY
BUSINESS MEN
by JOHN S.

(By JOHN 3. TRUSCOIT)
In 1906 the Chamber of Commerce
of Miles City was very anxious for a
new railroad. The population Of
Miles City was about 1000 people, still
we felt big and thought we ought TO
be larger. The president Of the Mil
waukee railroad as well as the North
western railroad were in counsel
Finally the Puget Sound extension
of the Milwaukee road was authorized.
Then the Chamber of Commerce got
very busy and went after it good and
strong. E. D. Sewell wa elected presi-
dent of the Puget Sound extension and
arrangements were made to meet him.
He met the people of Miles City in
May, 1906. At that time the route had
not been decided on. MI. Sewen sug-
gested assistance from Miles City, as
there were two routes under considera-
ton. One route would miss Miles City.
The present route was decided upon,
although it meant the building Of two
large bridges over the Yellowstone river.
One to get over here and another to
get to the north side of the river.
The people of Miles City met MI.
Sewell in the old fire hall, upstairs in
the rear of the Empress. theatre. A
right-of-way was guaranteed him which
it was considered would cost something
like $4,000. OF the six men who guar
anteed this two are now dead, w. B.
Jordan and G. T. Larkin. One lives in
New York City, AL Leighton; the other
three live in this locality. This oblig-
alton meant over $40 per capita for all
the residents of Miles City. Some objec-
tions were made; houses; were on this
land and had to be bought; one man
who owned a home wanted about three
times its value, and the Committee had
to resort to the courts to establish a
fair price for it. ~
The railroad was built and in 1907
the first train came in. "A round house
and division point was: established In
Miles City, with work shops, etc. The
population of Miles City increased IN
numbers many fold. Hundreds OF
houses were built.
Arthur Baker was chief engineer II
establishing the route, and moved tx
Miles City with his family. He recently
died in California. He vas very fail

Its crater Is fearful to behold. It Is q

Further up, writes Mr. Wiley, is a lake
of sapphire blue, an acre or more In
area, boiling. 1.-The whole of the emf
hence is one rough sheet Of mineral de-
post of say 300 acres, covered with
shallow, trickling streams Of hot water

General Sherman had arrived at
Marshall's, MI. Wiley notes in his diary.
He drove within a mile and q half OF
the place and then turned out on the
road to the Yellowstone river and the
canyon, stopping in a fertile meadow
and pitching camp. Elk and deer were
all about in the surrounding hills. The
tracks of animals were seen everywhere
A horned owl was crying outside.
Camp was established IN July IA
Just above the Upper Falls Of the Vel
lowstone, opposite the rapids. In break
ing camp that morning, while passing
a rocky hill, I'VE startled a fox and three
or four cubs, the latter about the size
of the largest fox-squirrel." Mr.. Wiley

and the cubs escaped in their hole. Elk
and deer abounded. There must be
thousands upon thousands Of them
Bear are also very plentiful, black,
cinnamon and grizzly"
Nine trout were caught In a small
stream. II put them on a stick and
coming to q snowbank, about Is feet
from the stream, put them up in the
snow. The day was cold and we had
occasional rain" A stream was forded
which was about an eighth OF a mile
wide when the water was up to the
axle trees. A narrower creek was also
forded when the water came up to the
bellies of the horses and the floor OF
the blackboard, "wetting our bedding to
some extent" The roar Of the rapids
shut out all other night sounds. Rising
early on Sunday morning. July IS, a
dozen trout were caught. Some were
sickly; we ate four for dinner, they
were very NICE" The horses were rid
den to the Upper Falls a half mile or
so. "They are 100 feet high, 40 feet
wide at the top and some eight to 10
feet deep; volume just like Niagara,
only q narrower stream" They kept
ON the trail as there was no wagon
road to the Lower Falls.
These are indeed magnificent, 300
to 400 feet high, double the height of
Niagara. The canyon Is a tremendous
pinacled wall 1000 and $500 feet high;
yellow, white, red and green rocks"
After dinner they went to Cascade falls
in q creek emptying into the Yellow
stone through another canyon. Pros
pect point afforded q fine view Of the
Great Falls 100 yards below them, Mr.,
Wiley wrote. He saw snowbanks all
around, above and below the great falls
