number of people being employed

early as possible so that the dabl
could be completed. Mr. Anderson
is a Deary boy, as every one knows,

should not make a complete success
of his venture. He has been in
business in St. Maries for the past
year or more. Mr. and Mrs. Rollef
son have conducted the store for
four years and the business is on a
solid basis. They have not yet de

Hunting Party Had a Wet Trip
The hunting party, consisting of
M. V. Thomas, E. E. McDowell,
Wm. McDowell and Harry Grinolds,
returned the latter part of last week
after an absence of 39 days. It was
a hard trip on account of the un
favorable weather. During the 39
day's trip it rained or snowed 30
days. The distance traveled on the
round trip was approximately 300
miles. As 15 miles a day is consid
ered a good average day's journey
with a pack train, it can be readily
seen that more than half of the 39
days were spent on the trail.
M. V. Thomas kept a diary of the
trip and he kindly consented to al
low the Gazette to use it for an ac
count of the trip. The following
notes give a general outline of the
big hunt:
On the morning of September 6.
the party left Kendrick with John
son's Springs, on the Lochsa, as
their objective. Their equipment
was comprised of a spring wagon,
a hack and 9 head of horses, to
gether with saddles, pack saddles
and camp outfit.
Ford's Creek. 4 miles above Oro
tino, was reached the first day.
From there to Weippe was made
the second day, where the partv laid
in a supply of provisions sufficient
to last a month, and camped 4 miles
bevond the town. A this place the
first game of the trip fell to E. Mc
Dowell when he shot a lune pheas
ant. On the 8th the Musselshell
was reached, where the wagon and
hack were left, the packs put on
the horses and the joruney contin
ued to the Pete King trail. That
night the horses were tied to trees
and a drv camp made in tne trail.
From this point to a place called
Indian Grave, a distance of 35
miles, the country had been burned
over last year. On the uplands
there wasn't a vestage of vegila
tion, the timber was burned off and
nothing left but the jagged stumps
of trees, rocks and the ash covered
ground. The only chance for noise
feed was m the low places where
slough grass was found.
Early the morning of the ninth
the trip was resumed as far as the
Wetas, where a stop was made for
breakfast and a good string of trout
caught.- About tour miles beyond
this spot an old cannon was left by
General Howard in 1876 when he
made the trip over the Lolo trail,
driving Chief Joseph out of the
country. Mr. Thomas went over
this trail thirteen years ago with
his family and saw the cannon
where it had been aoandoned by
General Howard« It began raining
the morning of the ninth, The 10th
Martin Thomas killed a fine brown
bear, so the day was spent in Camp,
It was a dreary day as it rained
ceaselessly ana continued alt 'night.
The following day was also put in
at camp as it was too wet to travel.
The time was spent cutting up and
suiting the bear meat.,, The two
Mac's tried the fishing and had hne
luck. Sunday,- the 12th, the trip
was resumed, it rained all that
morning, in the evening and all
night and the next morning began
to snow. Those who have never
traveled in the woods in the rain
and wet snow, don't know what wet
is. The evening of the 13th, after
traveling all day, the members of
the party were so thoroughly soaked
that the water ran out of their
shoes. That night camp was pitch
ed six miles west of Bald Mountain.
The following morning it was!
agreed to stay over. A greater part
of the day was spent trying to keep
the tire going, as it snowed and
showered practically the entire
time. The 15th was the finest day
of the whole trip and the packs
were put on and the distance cover
ed to Camp Howard before night.
There they met Bob West and
Deputy State Game Warden Brooks.
The 16th was spent hunting and
Bob West got a deer. That evening
. „ „ u,„
the two parties united in a big teed.
On the 17th West and Brooks
started home and the Kendrick
party continued the journey and
soon reached the Lochsa. They
camped that night half a mile
above the mouth of Weir Creek.
The next day they reached Camp
Allen where they spent the night,
Here there were a few thousand
acres of timber that had escaped the
fire. Most of it was on the south
side of the river, which is in the
game preserve. About three miles
bleow this camp is the spot where
Colgate was buried. He was the
man who was left by the Carlin
party about 27 years ago.
The story is that Colgate was ill
and not able to travel and as iti
was snowing and late in the fall the
Carlins left him with seme of their
horses and pack outfit, as they were
afraid they would be snowed in if
they staved longer. The following
spring Colgate's body was found
near the spot where he had been
,eft -
It was decided to make Camp
Allen headquarters, so permanent
camp was pitched there. The morn-1
ing of the 19th was spent in a hunt
for horse feed. Found plenty but
it was high on the hills, l'he after
noon was devoted to fishing which
was not of the best on account of
the high water, caused by the heavy,
continuous rains. The next morn
i*g E. E. McDowell killed a deer
near the Lower Springs. These
springs are said to contain white
sulphur and the witcr is iteiming
hot. In the early summer when
ti;e grass is green, it is said the elk,

Columbus Clark of Fix ridge was
in Kendrick Wednesday transacting
business. He is making a campaign
for the office of county commission
er for the third district, the posi
tion which he has held for the past
two years. His only opposition is
on the nonpartizan league ticket, no
democrat having filed for the office.
deer and all other game come to
them to fill up on the water.
While E. McDowell and Harry
Grinolds brought the deer to camp,
W. McDowell and M. Thomas hunt
ed on the mountain. On the 21st
the entire party went to the Upper
Springs where they enjoyed a hot
bath. These springs extend over
a distance of about a mile along the
creek bottom. ïhey will no doubt
prove to be very valuable in a few
years, when the highway is complet
ed up the Lochsa, as this road will
pass close by them.
It began raining about daylight
of the 22 and continued until noon.
The morning was spent fishing and
bathing in the hot springs. On the
following day the horses were taken
----------"—- ----------------------
to \y arm s pr i ngs Creek and then i
across the river where there
fairly good feed. Tne text five !
days were put inclose to camp as
jt rained or snowed a greater part
0 f the time. 28th and 29th were de
voted to hunting but no luck. On
i account of the weather there wasn't
j much doing for several days, but
i on the morning of the 3rd each of
j the Mac's got an elk. The follow
j j ng day Mr. Thomas got his elk
nea r the lower springs,
| The next day the process of dry
ing the meat was commenced. A
cottonwood fire was built, the meat
{CU t in thin strips and slowly dried
| and smo ked. That afternoon Harry
i Grinolds got his elk. It was a two
yea r-old, and unfortunately dur
, , ng t he barrage, one ot the hotns
! wa s shot off. The intention was
! to place a bullet behind the elk's
ear, but he moved at the critical
moment, which spoiled the shoe and
ruin ed one horn. The horns were
in the velvet, and although small,
would have made a very desirable
trophy if the elk hadn't moved his
head.
The return trip began the morn
ing of the 8th. Indian Post Office
at the top of the mountain was
reached the first evening. The trip
home was uneventful. Mr. lhornas
and Mr. Grinolds stayed over a day
at the Owen Thornton place and;
then came on in. On the Ahsahka
grade they bad to hitch a third
horse ahead, making a spike team,.
to pull the grade, on account of the
| mud. They camped at the * oe
Fruchtl place the night of the 15th
and arnv«rhome Saturday.

Haven't Changed Much
There are persons who constantly
clamor. They complain of oppres
sion, speculation and pernicious in
fluence of accumulated wealth.
They cry out loudly against all
banks and corporations and all
means by which small capitalists
become united in order to produce
important and beneficial results.
They carry on mad hostility against
all established institutions. They
would choke the fountain of in
dustry and dry all streams. In a
country of unbounded liberty they
clamor against oppression. In a
country of perfect equality they
would move heaven and earth
against privilege and monoply. In
a country where property is more
evenly divided than anywhere else
they rend the air shouting agrarian
doctrines. In a country where
wages of labor are high beyond
parallel they would teach the labor
er that he is but an oppressed slave.
—Daniel Webster in the Senate in
1833.
