 COMPLETION ROAD TO PATS CREEK

major activity by the chamber at it's recent reorganization.
 L. B. Chisholm, secretary report ed that a letter had been written last week to M. D. Williams of the |. s. Bureau of Public Roads at Juneau. asking his cooperation in the matter and stating that many of our citizens are unable to under stand why Wrangell has such a limited mileage Of highway as com pared 10 other Alaskan towns
 Mr Williams, in reply. informed the chamber that program has been submitted to the Washington office of Bureau of Public Roads covering the construction of a three mile section extending the present road at Wrangell but approval of this program has been held pending release of funds for the fiscal year 1889.
 You are misinformed. said MT Williams, as to funds having been appropriated and being available for work at Wrangell or any other portion of Alaska. as contracts are now let on which all funds now available are obligated
 Tt is our hope" the letter con- tinued. that our recommended pro- gram will be approved and funds will be made available so that a contract for the proposed work can be let some time early in the sum- mer.a
 Recreational Units
 The matter Of the development by the Forest Service Of various re- recreational units in their jurisdic- ton was brought to the attention of the meeting by Leo Mccormack. who advocated the building of a trail from Old Town to Toms Lake, distance estimated at less than three miles by following the old Indian trail. Toms Lake is famous for it's excellent fishing. Time did not permit more than a brief de- yelopment of this topic, and it is to be resumed at the noon luncheon next Monday.
 John F. Chamberlin, of Ketchikan veteran Alaska travelling man, who was a guest at the luncheon, ex- pressed briefly his pleasure in meet ing again with old friends and en- couraged the chamber to proceed on program of securing recreational areas near town. He said that Wards Cove. six miles from Ketch- ikan was a great asset to the town.

Detouring Montana to Avoid Blackfeet Indians
Led Hunts Party OF. 1911 Into Greater Trouble

other men who had been with Crooks
had turned back to the Shoshone In
dams. Crooks and Day were robbed of
what little they had, stripped and
driven naked into the wilderness. They
were found May l by a party sent out
from Astoria. Crooks recovered from his
hardships and returned east the same
year: Day died within a year as the
result OF his exposure. 1t was three of
the four who last left Crooks and Day
who revealed to the Shoshone Indians
the caches Hunt had left and then &C
companied the Indians into the Black
feet country where both they and the
Indians whom they accompanied were
stripped of their wealth.
The fourth man left behind by Crooks
and three of the four who had been
left at the Lewis fork of the Snake river
to trap, came together on the Snake
river and were found by Reed who
brought a party from Astoria to collect
the property from the caches remain
ing and return with it to the coast.
The men who had trapped on the Lewis
fork had started for the Missouri river
with their catch of furs and had been
robbed by the Crows and of them
slain. At the caches they met Robinson,
of the men who with Miller, had
been left at Fort Henry the previous
fall. His W comrades were trapping
upstream, and one, he said, had been
killed by the Arapahoe Indians. Miller
had gone east with an Astoria messen-
ger and party who had passed through
the country. The others remained to
tran.

W Hunts and Crooks parties.
December brought cold rain in the
valleys and snow on the hills. Out of
provisions, the travellers ate frozen
p~lackberries,. haws and cherries and
killed one OF the horses they had pre-
viously obtained from Indians. they
ate several dogs they obtained from the
Shoshone Indians. The Indians, them
selves, were destitute, however, and were
killing their own few and doubly prec-
ious horses for food. The parties trav-
eled slowly. They made as few as four
miles in a day. On Dec. 5 they fig
ured they had Travelled 422 miles since
leaving the canoes
On Dec. 6 Crooks party hailed
Hunts across the river. Crooks men
were almost starved and asked for food.
A n was fashioned from the skin
OF a horse killed the night before and
part of the flesh taken to them. Crooks
and of his men returned in the
canoe n related to Hunt the story of
their wanderings. For 10 days they had
been on One-siXth rations. When their
food was all gone, a beaver skin, the
SOleS OF mOccaSinS and frozen cherries
had supported them for three days.

come to an impossible mountain bar
rier, so his men were %retracing their
steps. He brought information of the
parties of Reed. Mckenzie and Nc
Lellan. Reed and Mckenzie had found
provisions more abundant and were
pushing On down the river with their
men in good condition. Mcclellan had
left the river and struck north toward
the Flathead country.
Two Parties Travelled Together
Hunt and Crooks decided to return
to the Shoshone Indian country. The
horsehide canoe on which Hunt and
his men had crossed the river was lost
during the night and they we're unable
to rejoin their party, and accompanied
Hunts instead. The two parties kept
abreast of each other on opposite
shores.
Crooks and his man, LeClerq, were
unable to keep up and Hunts men
wanted to abandon them. This Hunt
refused to do and his men began to
pass on ahead of him. The only re-
