SUNDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1923. SDR I POM TA “Way Down Upon the Powder River” Sung By Motorists Marooned During Late Storm H. E. Riner of Rock Springs Writes Story of Walt- man Gathering; Casper People in Party Cut oe Off By Flood Water During the heavy storms which swept this part of the state a week ago, a large number of travelers, the major- ity of whom were motorists, were marooned at Waltman for several days, owing to the impassible condition of the roads arid the fact that there was no train service. cluded in the group were: Richard Bragg, W. J. Carpenter, Mrs, A. H. Bunnell, Mrs. Rader, mother and daughter and son Donald, Cf L. Thompson, and M. J. Burke of Casper, H. M. Wright, J. W. Brookwalter, J. P. Juett of Den- ver, Colo., Mr, and Mrs. H. E. Hiner of Rock Springs, Wyo., John Byrne of Tulsa, Okla., Mrs. C, F. Arnold and son, C. F. Arnold, of Laramie, Wyo., H.'F. Kemp and F. R. Beals of Colorado Springs; C. Leslie Wolfe of Rock Island, Ill.; John Gutest of Bonneville, Wyo.; J. R. Allen, J. K. Stoddard, C. F. Peterson, F. C. Lydon and 8. R. Owens of Chey- enne; Rev. D. E. Olson, Victor J. ‘Wollin’ and M. B. Hoven of Minne- apolis. /H. E. Riner of Rock Springs, ‘0., one of the motorists who was tied up there during the flood, has written the following account of their experiences: “The guests were entertained by Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Archer of Walt- man and thelr assistants, Various indoor sports were indulged in. in- cluding five hundred, pitch, solo and rummy. Leading topics of the day were discussed at length and many a merry quip and jest were passed. Conditions at Powder River were the subject of much criticism and speculation. Four federal repre- sentatives who arrived late Satur- day evening were not able to curb the wet elements. Waltman, as 2 pleasure resoft had been gaining hourly in popularity, new guests arriving at regular intervals as news of its numerous attractive fea- tures reaches them. Those who left on Saturday were Messrs. C. L. "Thompson, M. J. Burk of Casper and J. P. Juett of Denver. They have since telephoned thelr sorrow at hhaving departed so unceremontous- ly, as owing to a elight miscarriage in their plans they were compelled to spend the entire night in the nar- “\.row confines of their automobiles ewhere near Natrona and report having spent a very restless night. “Religious services were conduct- ea at noon Sunday by Rev. D. B. Olson, M, B. Hoven conducting the song service. Dr. Olson delivered 9 very capable and instructive dis- course which was greatly appre- ciated. “At 12:30 p. m. was heard the Joud jingling of spurs and the swish swash of wet: chaps and who should breeze into our midst but Alkali Jack Spratt of Badwater, wet worn and weary from caring for his herds. Shortly thereafter we were visited by royalty in the person of J. Witherington Brook- walter of the-Royal Baking Powder company, accompanied by a guard of honor consisting of four royal’ guardsmen tn. the picturesque garb of huntsmen. Sunday afternoon Rev. Olson entertained the assem- blage with a mouth organ recital concluding with a new selection of his own composition which he calls “Home Sweet Home.” This he Played in various keys and times, ith and without variatons, first in ead sweet strains fully changing the time to jazz. An attempt was made to stage a debate but aban- doned because of the perfect accord ef all minds with reference to the questions suggested, which mainly referred to the weather, the high- ways, Powder River, the ladies, the railroads and moonshine whiskey. One more subject was mentioned 1. e., ‘Gov. Walton of Oklahoma’ but after a few remarks by John Byrne of Tulsa, on this subject, no one cared to assume the opposing argu- ment. “On Sunday evening stories were told and songs were almost sung, hymn books were provided for all by good Mrs. Archer. Having ex- hhausted the hymn books we all Joined in singing ‘Way Down Upon the Powder River’, the words of which follow: ‘Way down upon the Powder River Here's where we'll stay Seems lke we'll be right here forever For there is no highway. CHORUS. ‘All this state is wet and bleary Everywhere we roam Oh mister, how our hearts grow weary ‘Waiting to get back home. “During the mid-afternoon the party gathered on the front veranda of the hotel and were photographed by W. J. Carpenter of Casper. J. Witherington Brookwalter started something by suggesting to Mr. Carpenter that he set a price orf the pictures. plied Mr. Carpenter, on & hunting trip and haven't reached home yet, and I am not on this trip to make any money; those who wish the pictures need In- Ted Fedder ,Gale Everetts, only leave thelr names and ad- dresses, but they won't cost you anything, so that’s that.’ It was noted that the federal officers were especially anxious to secure the pic- tures, probably wanted to study our features at their leisure. “Rev. Olson was presented with a handsome tin medal in recognition of his ability at checkers, the pre- sentation speech being delivered by Cc. F. Arnold. Jack Allen was the winner of the prize in the horse- shoe tournament. “After the Sunday eventng song service Rey. Olson made an unsuc- cessful attempt to teach us to say “seventy-seven thousand seven hun- dred and seventy-seven dollars and seventy-seven cents" in the Swedish language, after which the entire party was so completely exhausted they promptly retired and were lulled to sleep by the not too gentle pitter patter of rain-drops on the nearly shingled roof. Monday morn- ing rumors of various sorts were continually coming in, some to the effect that in some parts of the United States trains and automo- biles were still being operated, news. papers printed, cigarettes’ and tobacco still being sold, and bath tubs used. The party unanimously voted to discredit these rumors. An inspection party was then formed, Messrs. C. F. Arnold, H. M. Wright and H. E. Hiner being dele- gated to discover some excuse for breaking up the party and journeyed in Mr. Wright's Packrolet to a point near Powder River where some ranchers were playing ‘Put and Take’ with railroad ties, a team of horses and a hole in the road. Returning to the hotel they found the place in an uproar and nearly all of the guests preparing to de- part without any apparent reason for doing so. However they were finally quieted down an& pursuaded to continue their visit until Tuesday and thus avoid interrupting the ‘Put and Take’ game. Monday noon it was discovered that provisions were becoming so scarce that we were compelled to be content with only the following for luncheon: Elk steak, mashed potatoes, string beans, corn, baked squash, + straw- berry jam, sliced peaches and cream, cake, bread and butter and coffee. We were becoming accus- tomed to hardships no one com- plained. “Cards and checkers furnished the amusements for Monday, Rev. Olson winulng the checker championship taking the final honors from John Guist of Bonneville, We might add that Mr. Guiest’s mission is one of government welfare. Several fed- eral officers having met with delay owing to railroad and highway con- ditions, Mr. Guiest volunteered to serve as a guide and accompany them to Cheyenne. Monday evening the party secured the services of an organist and an accordian and a grand ball was held at the school house. Old fashioned quadrilles, polkas and square dances were the features of the ball. It was neces- sary once to caution Mr, Carpenter against improper dancing, otherwise it was a grand success. On Tues- day the guests departed, The date of the next meeting has not yet been announced but we hope it will be soon and with improved condi- tions.” ; Getting Too Fat?
