ling Charles
myself ‘
After an Interesting ride through
the pines and past the small ranches
long the Big Blackfoot river we ar-
rived at the town of Ovando and took
quarters at the Qoodfellow Hotel
After supper we found "Marsh" our
guide and began mixing medicine for
the big hunt We Inquired as to the
prospects of game such as none of us
bad ever huntpd We finally agreed
to hunt for the following: Deer elk
goats and possibly a bear as our twc
weeks' time was not sufficient to
make the trip to
the sheep coun-
try The following
morning was
spent In packing
ep and talking
with the nunier-
ous guides as
about 30 per cent
of the town's In-
' habitants follow
this occupation
Shortly after
noon our train
composed of
eight pack '
horses six saddle horses and three
colts started on the sixty-mile Journey
to our proposed camp
We had traveled but a few miles
north from the village and Into the
timber when we came to the well-
biased line which marks the southern
boundary of the Lewis and Clark Na-
tional Forest within which Glacier
National Park has recently been cre-
ated Along the well-defined trail we
were continually reminded by' the
conspicuous signs posted by the For-
est Rangers of the warning to all
campers in regard to fires
The last day's trip was over a
rough trail crossing and recrossing
Young's creek up and down banks so
steep that we would often dismount and lead the
horses across
The valley at this point widens out Into an
open park of several hundred acres called the
"Big Prairie" which Is now fenced and used as a
horse pasture by the forest rangers At the lower
end of this pasture the river makes a wide de-
tour around the vertical bluffs the trail going
over the top Joining the river again near the con-
fluence of the 'White river and the South Fork
Here we made our permanent camp In a small
open park
For three days we had beard Marsh tell of bla
seventeen years’ experience In that part of the
country ns guide trapper and hunter which made
us all the mors keen to try our skill on the game
for which we had made the long Journey -On
the morning of October 1st an soon as It
was light enough to see Bert and Charles crossed
the liver to look for elk near the lick we had
passed the day before lteiny Marsh and I went
up on the mountain back of our camp to look for
goats while Ben set to work fixing up the camp
We hunted along the top of the mountain tor
a short distance when presently Marsh called our
atteutlon to what he thought was a goat lying
out on a bolnt of rocks on the west side and sure
enough It nettled all doubt by getting up and
walking out Into plain view We decided nt once
to try for this one It was necossnry to walk
back a mile to a point whore we rould get down
onto a lodge whtoh we could follow or half era I
along back to the place where we had seen the
goat This ledge -was covered with slide rock
and made walking dangerous and It was Itnpos-
etble to proceed noiselessly ns we would start
rocks to rolling over the edge every few steps
At length we reached the belt of timber whtch
bid the goat pasture lteiny todk the right side
of the ridge and I the left and we began to move
toward the spot where the goat bad been seen
We had gone but a short distance when I heard
n shot and going In his direction I saw him and
Marsh lteiny had shot the goat whlhh ran out
near the edge of the iltff and fell lodging against
the roots of an upturned spruce It proved to be
an old one with two of Its lower teeth missing
Wo took the skin head and part of the meat on
what proved to be a moat haaardoua trip as the
west aide of the mountain Is a aeries of narrow
ledges
flanks of eloud were rising In the west After
two hours of strenuous walking through the un-
derbrush and windfalls we rame out Into the
park back of our ramp Just as It began to storm
Neither Charles nor Bert were In rntnp and on
my part at least were the reuse of some uneael-
naes as It was raining and both bnd left catnp
with only light swanlers
in the morning na It was growing light I gtaed
nut through the tent-fly to see the mountains
white two-thirds of the way down A few min-
utes later I beard n shot up the river which t
Immediately answered with a couple more
Shortly after Bert and Charles were wading
errois the stream lo ramp They had shot a
dear within n mile of the ramp and had found a
bunrh ef elk which they followed until night
Each waa unable to find (he other and both ron-
eldered It dangeroua In try lo walk la camp In
(ho darkness and gathering atorm
The following day waa apent hunting through
the river bottoms and lowar henries hut without t
results only few dear being assn
That evening we derided an a atreaunua hunt

for the morrow Ben Bert and Helny were to
go over to Ben’a cabin on Big Salmon lake and
apend two days looking for elk Charles declared
his Intentions of trying again for the big bull on
the west side of the river while I bad picked
likely-looking mountain across the gulch from
where Helny bad abot hie goat on the first day’s
hunt
We were out of ramp early Marsh and I both
taking saddle horses We cut out s trail through
and around windfalls across Marshall Creek and
by ten o'clock that forenoon were well above the
snow line (
While we were yet some distance below the
summit we tied our horses In a sheltered spot
and proceeded on foot Beet tracks were numer-
ous In the fresh wet snow and on top of a smalt
ridge I found the tracks of a band of elk There
were eight In the bunch one track ehowlng
plainly to be that of a bull and Marsh '‘allowed"
we had better try for him The tracks were eas-
ily followed but as they had fed all over the
ridge It took some time to Pnd In which direction
they were going Shortly Marsh who was walk-
ing back of me touched me and pointed out a
yearling which was feeding toward us We sat
down and watched this one which was soon
Joined by another end another until six were In
tight The two yearlings came within sixty feet
before they winded us and turned back We
could hear the bull scraping his horna on the
brush He wae In the hsckground put of eight
We watched them possibly five minutes when f
saw what I took to be the bull brushing his besd
up and down among the branches of s small pins
I fired at q point Just hack of his shoulders Then
mm the one dlssppolntment of the trip for the
’ enlmst proved to be n big cow The remainder
of the band stood motionless for n quarter of n
minute then broke Into a run down the mountain
side
We dressed the elk end continued our hunt for
goste We were crossing deer tracks every few
feet On coming out Into n little park t found
one track that looked good enough lo follow and
had hardly gona ten rode when 1 heard him Jump
out of bed lie came Into an open spot on the
I Ighsst point of the ridge end stood looking at
me over the lop of some dwerf cedars drew
a bead on his nook and fired srorlng a dean
miss The second shot hit the mark and a ten-
point black-tall buck was added lo the list and
went a long way toward repairing my feelings
over the elk
Th reunited psrty had aupper together that
evening Hen put up goat elk and venison atmka
lo order After the big feed was over and pipes
filled we eat around the fire In the teepee tent
and planned a further Invasion of the game tone
across Marshall creek The result wae Bert'e
bagging of the largest gnat of the trip and
Chnrlei getting a black-tall buck
The shooting of Bert'i goat waa quite e re-
markable feat lie and Ben had Just about given
up looking for goats and were standing on the
edge of a cliff looking down at n trail along ihe
side of the ledge when goal appeared walking
leisurely The animal waa about flftv feet horl-
lontally and lures hundred feet vertically from
him when he ahnt hilling the anal smare bT-
tween the Moulders killing it instantly Any
atruggla on the part nf Ihe animal would have
work secured the heed and hide and
climbed back j to the summit
Our game supply now consisted of
three deer three goats and ona elk
Charles decided to stay In the valley
with Marsh until he shot anelk While
the rest of us took a part of the pack-
train loaded on all our game and left
t noon next day for the railroad
Byno meant the least Interesting
part of this trip was the chance to
view the Lewis and Clark National
Forest where for ten days we lived
near to Nature the only evidence of
man'a having Intruded there being
the cut out pack-trail and the forest
rangera cabins The timber ranges
In alee from the giant Norway pine of
alx feet In dlatn
eter to the 6-lncb
lodge pole thick-
ets The vivid
srreen of ’ these
brightened by
the yellow tall
tint of the asp-
ens against the
snow capped
mountains made
a picture which
no camera nor
brush could do
Justice to giving
one ' the feeling
that It was good
to be alive
Small game waa
numerous three
varieties of
grouse Franklin
blue and ruffed
Pine squirrels
whisky Jacks
magpies and many smaller blrda added Interest to
the trip
The act of ex-PresIdent Roosevelt in setting aside
these Immense tracts of rough timbered country
for national forests to be looked after by the gov-
ernment providing a home for the wild life and a
recreation spot for future generations will stand
a3 one of the great acts of his administration

President C W Somers of the Naps
id long on baseball dope Probably
no man bolding a similar position to
bis In the American - league keeps
closer watch on the dope and on play-
ers than Somers
Recently he and Addle Jons were
discussing the pitchers of today and
the trouble getting them
"No one can tell me that good pitch-
ing isn’t 75 per cent of the strength
of a ball club” asserted Somers "Ad-
dle we hadn’t really developed a
pitcher until last fall since you and
Earl Moore Joined the club
i think the crop of pitchers at the
time you developed was the greatest
r any ons period before or since”
“Yes” asserted Addle "I think that
v Addis Joss
t'
lha old Interstate league during my
ilast year there had the greatest hunch
of pitchers that any minor league ever
possessed That yssr Gsorga Mullln
tiro went to Detroit while there wer
several others who are etlll In (he
game
"You remember Gene Wright who
came with Moore and I to the Clave
land club In 1901 To this day 1 can’t
understand why Gene didn’t develop
Into one of the greatest pitchers the
game haa ever even That fallow had
everything that Walter Juhneon haa
and even more He possessed a curve
which no batter I don't care how
great could successively eolve
"1 think with a proper break la luck
and If Wright's arm had not gono
back on hint he would have occupied
a plaea today alongside of Johnson
Mathewaon Walsh and the others"

nlgbta any more It kept Itching for
about a month then I went to a doc-

three days but when It started again
Waa even worse than before The ec-
zema Itched so badly I couldn’t stand
It any more I went to a doctor and
he gave me some medicine but It
didn't do any good Wo bave been
having Cutlcura Remedies in the
house so I decided to try them I
bad been using Cutlcura Soap no I
got me a box of Cutlcura Ointment ’
and washed off the affected part with
Cutlcura Soap three times a day and
then put the Cutlcura Ointment on
The first day I put It on It relieved
me of Itching so I could sleep all that
night It took about a week then I
could see the scab come off I kept
the treatment up for three weeks and
tny ecxema was cured
"My brother got hla face burned
