STATIONED AT HOTELS TO GUIDE
VISITORS ON TRIPS AND TO
GIVE LECTURES

Glacier park national park natural
lists began their 1885 season schedule
recently at Many Glacier and Lake
Macdonald hotels, where they will be
stationed to guide visitors on daily
field trips and give nature lectures
On June 20 naturalists will be sta
toned at Going-tO-the-Sun chalets,
Two Medicine chalets, Sprague creek
and Avalanche creek camp grounds
They are already established ct Logan
pass to give information and assistance
to visitors, to conduct field trips twice
daily to Clements glacier and Hidden
lake; to name flowers and trees and
help guests locate mountain goats on
surrounding mountain walls.
New camp fire circles for community
entertainment at Sprague creek and
Avalanche creek camp grounds will be
finished SOC and others will be con-
structed at Two Medicine, Rces creek
and Many Glacier camp grounds. Those
built on the west side of the continental
divide will be built of logs to conform
with the surroundings and those east
of the divide will be built of rock.
A new trail, with markers to tell the
geologic story of the section, is being
built from the Granite park trail TO
the summit of the Garden wall.

proposal of an agreeable object, and
accepted.
We started up the gulch with Curtis
in the lead. We came to a flat prob
ably a half mile from where Zortman
now stands. Curtis suggested that we
locate the ground, one of us to stand
guard, and the other to work. I stood
guard and Curtis began shoveling.
Shortly I saw Pike Landusky coming
down the trail with a big ASK shooter
strapped to his waist. I pulled a bead
on him and told him to throw up his
hands, which he did, as he had not
seen us. He said he wanted to talk
to us. and / told him to unbuckle his
six-shooter and drop it in the trail.
He did this, also, and came on to
where we were standing. He said that
we could keep our ground, that it was
the other gang he did not want up
there.
So we located our claim. Curtis was
called out and left the country, and
Johnny Brown joined me. In the mean
time, Pike LanduSky and Dutch Louie
cleaned up from bedrock above us,
SIS, 900 of gold nuggets, which caused
a greater stampede than the first. The
influx of people included lawyers,
preachers, school teachers, gamblers
and every other known class that can
be imagined. We cleaned bedrock every
Saturday afternoon; the smallest pay
for two of us for five days was $3.50.

there we're no signs Of teams having
gone before us, neither were there any
following.
We had not gone far over this I'M
trodden country till it began to rain,
and the soil over which we were driv-
ing, was of a silly a~lkaline-given the
name of gumbo in the west. Clinging
to anything that hit it, 1t began to roll
up with the wheels and lodge against
the brake beams, making further pro-
gress almost hopelessly impossible.
However, we had already gained the
utmost elevation of the country, and
the rest of our journey was mainly
down grade. Even at that, our broncs
we're so tired that they could not pull
their load against the resistance OF that
heavy gumbo.
We were stalled, and our broncs, with
heads dropping low, were painting Tor
breath. We were now on the Cow
creek flat. We unhitched the broncs
and tied them to the sagebrush, as
there was a rise of ground about 600
yards ahead which we could never
hope to reach with our played-out
animals. We unloaded the wagon,
took it apart and carried every part
and belongings, as well as u supplies,
to the summit. Then We brought up
the weary horses, hitched them up and
went on, one man driving, the other
two with shovelS clearing the wheels OF
gumbo.
We eventually got out of the gumbo,
and onto the gravel, and made it over
to Slippery Ann Hot springs, where we
fed our horses and connected with the
old road to Rocky point. We found
there dozens of teams, pack, and sad
die horses, all headed for the new Ell
dorado. After eating, we hitched up
and followed the base Of the Little
Rocky mountains around to the Little
Alder flat and to Murray Nicholson's,
a squaw man. He told us his place
was about a mile from the diggings. We
moved on and got to the end Of the
rainbow, or where Zortman now stands.
We turned the horses loose for a much
needed rest (they had not had the
harness off their backs since leaving
Fort Benton). Pike Landusky and
Dutch Louie Meyers held Little Alder
gulch, SO we started prospecting up
Ruby gulch, at the head of which, we
found gold in small quantity, but suf-
ficient to stimulate Our mental faculties,
and set them to forming images OF mug

Ethiopian tribesmen, armed with
primitive weapons, have staged a

casualties on Italian outposts The
headquarters of Dedjazmatch Mas
sibu claimed today.
The reports of stealthy forays in
side the Italian lines reused high
enthusiasm.
Dispatches from the front said
guerrilla attacks isolated three
Italian outposts and resulted IN
numerous casualties. Guerrilla war
fare was reported to be proving eff
fective along the extreme southern
front where II Duce's invasion has
been made tortuous and slow by
vast distances separating water
holes.
1t is around these water holes,
dispatches to NasSibu stated, that
the f1ercest skirmishes are being
waged as the Ethiopians harass the
invaders with spora5io ire from
ambush.
The Italians, it was pointed out
at headquarters here, must obtain
possession of the water holes before
they can storm the escarpments Of
the southern plateau.
The Ethiopian general head
quarters regards its efforts TO drive
the Italians mad from thirst as an
important part of its strategy N
