routes above the roadway Every
impression delighted ones senses
except one.
Supervisor Klehm said he wished
to take us up that particular route
for one purpose, aside from the
beauties Of the drive. 1t was that
we might see the destruction that
fire can do. Several years ago a
most disastrous fire ate its rapid
way into that district from the Idaho
side. For several miles the noun
tains are covered with the dead
skeletons of what was once mag
nificent forest. dead trees standing
stark and naked a depressing Wis
ion of what desolation fire can
leave in a forest And it will be
years before nature will again cloth
that area with its natural covering.
The men stopped here and there
wherever a stream looked promis-
ing and tempted the speckled beau
ties to take the barbed flies the
fishermen trailed so cunningly on
the surface of the water, and with a
considerable degree of success.
Many rich meadows along the Yak
were passed and few comfortable
ranch homes. The car Whizzed by
another delightful camping ground

the Canadian line over the Pete

The South Fork of the Yak river
and the Pipe creek road.
The drive was leisurely one, the
men stopping to see the sights at
various places and to fish when
streams looked promising A stop
of a few minutes was made at the
new single mill at Troy Some of
the men had never seen single
mill in operation and this proved an
interesting experience to them. At

The other was number of heavy
wire rods hanging on a post. 1t

use in roasting Wieners over camp

engagements were necessary. Be

A TRAGIC TALE
BY Clayton Rand

A lonely county superintendent Of "lliteracy' in
Mississippi once advertised for mate in matr-
monal journal.
When he went to the flagstop station to meet her
she was SO homeY he fled the scene. When appre-
hended he refused to go through with his contract
She sued him, recovered, and he became a man
wrecked in fortune and influence
The tragedy of this episode was that he had made
the fatal mistake of outlining all too briefly his spec
fications in his original advertisement
he is too stingy in the of space and careless
in the use of words.

Tales of the Old West
Before writing 800 to this day
journey let's back-track for a mo-
ment. Shortly before reaching the
! Sylvanite ranger station, the trav-
elers passed the Keystone mines
which have been operating success
fully for the past few years. 1t
brought up discussions regarding
tie time When the Old Sy1vanite
mine was in operation and when
there was town of several hun
dred people at Sylvanite. 1t will be
remembered that the mine build
ings and the town were destroyed
in the fire of 1910. Supervisor
klehm remarked that in building
the present road, Workmen opened
up an old grave and disclosed a
human skeleton The bones were
gathered up and given new rest
ing place where they would be I'M
disturbed Later inquiry brought
forth an interesting story.
1t appears that in the old DAYS
when Sylvanite flourished, a quiet
man wandered into town one day.
His reputation preceded him and
it told people to be careful and not
pick quarrel with that hombre.
He was quiet man and not look
ing for trouble but he was lightning
quick on the draw and had long
list of killings to his record.
The story goes that this new COM
er soon began paying attentions to
a desirable dance hall girl on whom
a certain bartender had staked out
claim. This displeased the bar
tender and he plotted revenge.
Waiting until the offender was
sleeping off drunk, he had the
loads removed from the cartridges
in the offenders gun. When the man
awoke and visited the saloon, a
quarrel was picked, guns were
whipped from holsters, shots fired
in quick succession and the man
who was so fast on the draw fell
dead. An incident Of the old West.
The bones the highway workers so
carefully picked up and moved to a
new resting place were all that was
left Of the man who was once so
lightning quick on the draw. Oh,
/ yes, the bartender went scott free
as he shot in self defense, SO it was
conveniently said.
We close with a little advice. If
you are SO fortunate as to receive
an invitation to take trip with
Supervisor Klehm, accept by all
means. He will take you through
delightfully."- beautiful and magnifi
cent country and he will regale you
with most interesting stories of the
days when the West was really wild
and Woolly. And how could one
spend more enjoyable day?
