AS the result of the earth shock
which Jared Helena Dec. %. there
is so much water coming down Orc
Fino gulch into the Hale reservoir
that the city must replace its two
inch water pipe with four-nch. Mayor
Jack Haytin said recently.
The mayor said measurements
showed that about 100000 gallons Of
water per day was flowing out Of
Orc Fine gulch and into the Hale
reservoir flow great enough to keep
the reservoir full and which will make
pumping unnecessary If the flow con-
tinues.
From the day the tremblor struck
we noticed a rise of from one to two
inches per day in the reservoir" the
mayor said. I'VE made a check and
found out the flow had increased
about 100000 gallons per day."
City water crews are now exploring
Dry gulch to find out II new water
sources which might be available had
been opened up there. Prior to the
severe earthquakes OF 1895 there was
a good flow Of water in Dry gulch
but it stopped Immediately after the
earthquake Of Oct ID, 1885 and since
then there has been no flow there
at all.

good fortune brought the camps to 4
little exposed grass. When buffalo
we're in sight the horses were not
strong enough to hunt well, and meat
was scarce.
The Blackfeet were encountered fire.
uuently. Often there were rather Serl-
Gus encounters at close range. WITH
injuries and an occasional death.
Where camps could have been made
close to buffalo herds with chance
OF getting meat, the danger from the
Blackfeet was so great that hungry
camps we're made in more sheltered
spots.
BY January, 1882, food supplies were
so low that the plight of the people
was becoming desperate. By now the
party was in Idaho, but turned BACK
to the vicinity of Beaverhead rock
where a party of Americans afcot was
met. The Blackfeet had stolen their
horses. On Jan. 80. Works outfit met
a party of 300 Blackfeet. Work re-
ceived a wound in the arm. His cannon
burst at the third shot. The enemy
was finally driven off with but little
damage to the trappers.
A day to day perusal of Works
journal repeats with little variation
the same story Of near-famine, lack
of forage for the horses, constant dan
ger from the Blackfeet, severe cold
and discomfort, and but little luck
with the traps.
1t was only after the expedition
turned south to Idaho In March that
the journal began to record SINAI!
takings of beaver each day. At that;
the difficulties were not over. Food
supplies were still scarce. and swollen
streams began to cause trouble. Mem
bers OF the party went out to hunt
and trap on streams away from the
main route. intending to Join the
party nearer home; some of them
were never seen again.
Work had labored hard in the serv..

Amberson's story. one of more than
6.OOO submitted during the last year,
was as follows:
I'VE were herding stock from the
range to the valley ranch for the
winter when it turned terribly cold
This meant extra help. So hired a
young fellow, new to the country.
The first day, he complained OF
his feet getting cold. We told him OF
an old, established practice here on
the range: Instead Of wearing over
shoes or socks, we sprinkled a little
red pepper in our boots.
He consulted the cook and we
started out. Before long he was kick
ing his feet against the stirrups. Then
he dSmounted and walked. Soon he
struck out in one Of those stomping
dog-trots.
He said he figured that if RED
pepper was good, chilli powder ought
to be better.
Friction Of the chill powder against
the ball Of his foot, as he rode, had
heated things up inside those boots
till it had cooked his bunion, popped
his cortland the only reason his toes
weren't hurt was because they had
hung themselves on the nails"
Honorable mention was accorded
these:
