number of beaver skins. Everything
went well until they came to a lofty
mountain that it was impossible to as
cend, without following a buffalo trail.
On reaching the summit, it was snow
ing, and they thought best to camp
there overnight. The next morning
they found the snow too deep for them
to travel and what made the situation
more perilous, their provisions we're
exhausted.
After considerable discussion they
decided to return to their four COM
panions and the mules. But now the
buffalo trail was obliterated and they
could not hope to travel without snow
shoes. To manufacture these, they used
their skin coats and the skin lining
of their trousers. When finished, they
were crude affairs and difficult to USE
The first day they made but three or
four miles before going into camp
where they spent the night without
food or good fire. The next morning
they breakfasted on roasted beaver
skins, whether with or without the
fur, is not stated. For a couple OF days
they could not travel much more rap
idly than a man could crawl on his
nanoS ana Knees.
Exhausted by hunger and cold, most
of the party felt they could go no
farther, until Leonard and another,
volunteered to go ahead and break a
road for them to follow. So they strug-
gled along for three or four days,
managing to keep alive, but suffering
terribly, when fortunately a couple Of
buffalo were killed by their hunters,
and their hunger relieved, they man.

there was plenty of game.
In the spring another effort was
made to reach Sante Fe. with no better
trip they had left most Of their furs
they last camped before returning.
These they naturally wished to secure.
They trapped along the way, and were
we'll rewarded by the number of skins
secured-secured but not kept, for
while the party was seeking the jan
uary furs. and away from camp, In
dams robbed them Of everything they
had including furs and traps.
The trappers, furious at their loss,
trailed the Indians to their camp,
thinking II tIley COulQ IOt recover tI1elr
furs and traps, they could steal the
Indians horses. This attempt was a
failure; the white men narrowly es-
capped with their lives. and they were
again forced to seek their winter
camp.
In May the whole company returned
to the mouth of the Laramie, where
those they had left in the fall had
arranged to meet them, but no one
was there While waiting for the 9TH

in the vicinity. and again Leonard was
robbed: this time through the sharp
dealing of Stephens. The latter, with
out the least justification, sold furs
belonging to Captain Cant, to Fitz-
patrick. who had again appeared on
the scene. He was On his way to the
rendezvous at Pierre's Hole, and the

on this area with the sole exception
of the closing of the road that leads
to the top of Mount Cadillac. The
island is far removed from military
objectives and aside from precau-

Heavy Snowfall Assures
Beauty in Waterfalls

YOSEMITE, PARK, April IL
The heavy snowfall in the Sierra
Nevada this past winter is assur-
rance that this will be another big
waterfall year in Yosemite-good
news for those who plan a spring or
summer visit to this national park
in the heart of California.
One of the first large waterfalls
encountered by the visitor is Cascade
Fall, which is midway between Arch
Rock Ranger Station at the park
boundary and the lower end of
Yosemite Valley For a distance of
some 500 feet Cascade Fall tumbles
down the mountainside, its waters
the confluence of two streams which
have their sources in opposite di-
rections.
At the entrance to Yosemite VAL
ley is Bridalveil Fall, dropping for
$40 feet and sending up clouds of
veil-like mist in which are reflected
rainbows.
Almost hidden in the shadow of
majestic Ell Captain. worlds largest
granite monolth, is Ribbon Fall
This slender column of water, which
the Indians called "the Graceful
One" makes a drop of 1872 feet.
Because it flows only during the
spring, it is less we'll known to park
visitors than other waterfalls of far
less height.
Perhaps the most awe inspiring Of
all Yosemite's water spectacles is
Yosemite Falls-a vertical half mile
of falling water. Hurting over the
north wall at an elevation of 6,525
feet, Yosemite Falls makes two giant
leaps to the floor of Yosemite VAL
ley. The upper fan makes a sheer
drop of l,430 feet-equal in height
to nine Niagaras piled one on top of
the other. The lower fall drops
800 feet. Between the two, running
for one-third of mile, is a series
OF toaming cascades and waterfalls.
At peak volume Yosemite Falls
makes the ground tremble for a mile
around.
Not visible from the valley floor
but easily accessible by trail, are
three OF Yosemite's major water
falls-Vernal, Nevada and Illilouette.
These are the waterfalls the av-
erage Yosemite visitor sees, but
there are many more in the vast
Yosemite High Sierra-a region Of
sparkling blue lakes, clear streams,
living glaciers, deep confer forests
and ower-spangled meadows, net
worked by 700 miles Of well-marked
trails.

Bahamas White Beaches Yield
Shells for Mi|ody's Fashion
NimbIe Fingers Of Natives Busy Supplying
Ornaments Finding Fovor in U.S..

NASSAU, N. P, Bahamas, April
1l.-A tiny builder of seashells from
somewhere near the foot of sciences
evolutionary ladder is playing q
busy and important, role at the
bottom of Bahamian seas these
days, keeping pare with the de-
mands of new fashion vogue
which is sweeping the United States.
These minute sea animals build
the shells, which are fashioned into
the Bahamian jewelry which is
meeting with such an enthusiastic
reception in the States.
Fifteen kinds of shells collected
on the coral white beaches are
being used to make a variety or or
naments which range in size from
diminutive earrings to a center piece
"tree," 4 feet high, feet in circum-
ference, and with multi-colored
blossoms of some 5000 tinted shells.
Washed Ashore by Tides.
The tiniest Of these shells is the
one known as rice" an ivory
smooth bit about an eighth of an
inch long and the first home of q
tiny sea animal which abandons
the shell when 1t becomes too tight,
and moves on to build a bigger
one. Accommodating tides wash
such abandoned marine dwellings
to the beach. and natives make an
occupation of shell-hunting.
Eventually these shells arrive at
Nassau, where they are cleaned
a simple job because the sea has
already done most Of the work
and clipped at one end so that
timed, annealed wire, scarcely
thicker than a spiders thread, can
be inserted. Under the nimble fin
gers OF Bahamian craftworkers,
whose ancestors were doing this
sort OF thing $50 years ago, the
shells are tied together with silk

Duytonu Beach Has Its Own
System for Fox Hunting

Florida is unique. There Is no
closed season on fox In Florida. For
that matter, there is no need for a
closed season, for the fox seldom is
killed.
And the fox hunt is open to every
one. In fact, they sell tickets to a
fox hunt. You don't have to have
a red coat. You don't have to be
able to ride a horse. You do have
to have a taste for barbecue. And
If you're one Of those who can take
liquid refreshment or leave 1t, you
can take it or leave it.
A fox hunt is ordinarily sponsored
by the local game conservation club
Profits from the ticket sale are used
to buy quail to restock local fields.
A pack of cracker hounds" is as
sembled and taken out into likely
fox country-providing there is a
barbecue pit nearby. The barbecue
fires are built and along in the
evening the hunters" appear
A sufficient time is allowed for
them to get acquainted with the
dogs, and then the hounds are
turned loose to find a fox. After that
it's up to the dogs. A really smart
set of dogs can pretend they have
found a fox ands no one knows the
difference. Just as long as they
bay in the approved style, every ones
content. The hunters, happy around
the barbecue fires, swap yarns, gorge
themselves on Southern open-air
food, speculate occasionally on the
progress of the hunt. AS the night
wears on they struggle homeward,
little the worse for wear. Some poor
fellow has the responsibility of
rounding up the hounds, but even
tually he gets home too.
Boy! That's huntin'!

Rail President Urges
Mid-Week Start for
Vacation Travel
Ralph Budd Advises
Method to Avoid Big
Peak Load on Facilities

e CHICAGO, April 11.-Vacations
beginning in midweek were advo-
Gated today by Ralph Budd, presi-
dent of the Burlington Lines, as an
effective means of avoiding over
crowding on American railroads dur
ing the wartime emergency.
Americans, over a period of years,
have become great week end travel
ers, according to Mr.. Budd. 1t has
become almost national custom to
start and close vacation on Friday,
Saturday or Sunday, resulting in
a sharp traffic hump each week end,
Mr.. Budd pointed out. Added to
this, commercial travel also is in
clined to peak during this three
day period.
Survey Supports Theory.
A check on passenger traffic in and
out Of Chicago during July and
August. the two most popular months
for vacations, reveals that there is
70 to IS per cent more travel on the
three week end days-Friday, Satur-
day and Sunday-than on the other
four days of the week combined.
Heretofore, Mr.. Budd said, the
railroads have had the reserve equip
ment to furnish travellers almost
any accommodations they desire,
even during this week end peak.
However, he cautioned, large part
of the railroads equipment, espe-
cially Pullman cars, now is required
for military movements and 1t is
further probable that, due to tire
and gas rationing, the railroads will
be called upon to handle constantly
increasing civilian passenger traf1c.
Employer Cooperation Asked.
Except where emergency requires
It," Mr.. Budd said, "the public should
be encouraged, especially in vaca-
ton planning, to do their travelling
on Mondays, Tuesdays. Wednesdays
and Thursdays. Those who do will
find trains less crowded and ex-
perience little difficulty in obtain
ing the exact type of Pullman ac-
commodations desired"
Employers can cooperate in
bringing about this desirable re-
form, Mr.. Budd suggested, by per-
mitting employees to commence their
vacations, or citizen furloughs," on
midweek days instead of the ira
ditional Friday or Saturday.
Mr.. Budd also recommended that
serious thought be given by en-
ployers to spreading and stagger-
ing their vacation schedules. He
suggested especial consideration be
given to late spring and early fall
vacations, seasons of pleasant
weather that are ideal for nearly
all manner of out-of doors recrea-
tional activities.

LARGE CROWDS
j ARE UNDER BAN
IN TWO STATES

SEATTLE, March 10 Orders
which. will prevent the gathering of
large crowds in Washington and
Oregon have been received by the
Governors of the two States from
headquarters of the Western Defense
Area.
The new orders may affect many
fairs in the two States, and may
make large gatherings impossible at
Sticks Seattle Stadium, the Civic
Auditorium and the University of
Washington Stadium and Pavilion.
In the instructions to the Cover
nors, Lieut.. Gen. John l.. Dewitt,
Commander of the Western Defense
Zone. said that permission for gath
erings of more than 5000 persons
west of the Cascades in the two
States must be obtained from Major
Gen. Kenyon A. Joyce of Fort Lewis.
Similar approval must be obtained
for gatherings east of the Cascades
if they are TO be held adjacent to
arterial highways
Statement Of Policy
The ruling which may have its
greatest effect in Seattle was that
no gatherings may be held within
three miles of an aircraft factory
or military reservation. Each of the
largest meeting places in Seattle is
within three air miles of an aircraft
or military establishment.
General Joyce said it was impos-
sible to say at this time what action
might be taken a week or month
from now, and he would not care to
forecast whether he would issue or
refuse permission for large gather
ings. He said it would depend on
the war situation at that time.
At General DeWitt's headquarters
in San Francisco, the Associated
Press reported, it was said that no
decision has yet been made on night
baseball, but the 6rder to the Gov
errors said that in areas where
blackouts were probable, all events
will be limited to daylight.
