led him over the Lolo Trail for a
part- of the way but it is note
worthy that, although he was ac

travel with saddle animals and pac.t

route along the river wherever any
kind of a trail made it possible for
him to do so. For a person out. for

The Republican is pleased to give
Bpace to a historical sketch of the Lolo

read on theso matters and his late
trip over the old Lolo trail fits him to
give muqh unwritten history of this
trail and pass used long before Lewis
and Clark crossed the Rockies in 1804.
Following is the first instalment by
Mr. Harlan:
