 Gentlemen;
 On behalf of the Douglas Chamber of Commerce, l want to thank you for the phamplets for warded this Chamber.
 The publication of these, de- notes that you have a real Cham Der in that section of the Terri tory and it will be a pleasure to pass them around; I req ize that you have been to considerable expense in the matter and l can assure you that they will be put to the most good.
 It is to be regretted that the Territorial Legislature in the last session could not see fit to make an appropriation for the Terri torial Chamber and your MT. Cochran, as President will be greatly handicapped in the work that could have been accomplish ed with the very modest request contained in the Bill; however at the last meeting of the Man agers, MT. Cochran expressed his will to carry on, making the most of the limited resources available.
 Again expressing thanks for the phamplets and knowing that We can always depend on your support in any worthy measure l am
 Very truly yours,

CoLoRFUL STORY OF A a HIKE OVER JOHNSON PASS
By Mrs. Ray Stafford

By Mrs. Ray Stafford sg (Cont inued from last week.. hrEE
 It was real. Groundhog creek was in front of us, roaring out of the mountain and era shing int o the creek we had follow ed at a perfect right angle. The bridge that should have carried us across it, was hanging by one badly bent log, the ties dangling unc ertainly from the log and the other cross beam broken and lying in the boiling water below. The bridge was use less, the creek was boiling and flooded. We were caught in corner and to make mat ters worse, from high point we could see across the creek and a little di stance be- yond, the roof and chimney of the cabin we had so long hoped to reach. There was no way to get there, no way to attract the att ent on of the men there if they could help us, for the roar of the creeks would drown any sound might make. It was doubtful whether they would even hear the shots from gun. And who would want to go back the way we had come?
 My husband said, Well eat some sup per, then I'll figure it out." I didn't want to eat. My breath was gone, my arm' were weak, and appetite had f1ed.I want ed to do something. "We Wil1 have to do something about it."
 There was a small knoll above the trai- where some scrub hem1 1ock grew and where we could build fire and keep our backs to the heml ock, thus keeping fairly dry. It was showering again. It was getting dark. We stirred up hotcakes and made coffee. We talked of what could be done and decided to climb the mounta t the head of the creek and cross over where it was narrow enough to jump.
 That Groundhog creek was the toughest creek have ever noticed in any of our climbing. It was chi se1ed from a rock canyon until it came to the place where the bridge had crossed. There it was slightly more level and carried a very marrow shoreline. The wal1s of the can yon were steep, and over them and up the sides of the mcuntai the alders snar1ed and spraw1ed. It was the most desperate looking climb I had ever faced. But that awful water! 1T can't go back there can't even look at it again." s#a
 The rain sizz1ed int our frying pan. Ashes settled on the batter as baked. I was c1utched by fear, but I thought something had to be done. called on all the reserve courage I had, tc find there was none. There was no chance for a miracle to happen. The treek wouldn't
