Meet Dr. and Mrs, Orr. We met Dr. and Mrs. Orr and son, also on their way to the | * park and the east. We left Spo- | kane at noon, August 14th and went as far as Wallace, stopping | there. Wallace is a fine little) city, being surrounded by high mountains. The roads were} very good to Coeur d’ Aene,| after which we encounterd 20/ miles of bad roads. We also passed through Coeur ,d’ Alene and Kellogg, also two very en- terprising cities with fine paved | streets and prosperous looking | people. From Wallace we passed over) a Now is the time to PAINT the mountains off north reservation Mrs. Moran (formrly Mrs. Nuxoll) at St. Ignatius, about 50 miles further than the Yellowstone trail. Collville reservation north year being very good. to carry the water. We found Mr. and Mrs. Moran nicely situated and enjoyed their hospitality. From here we mo- tored back to the trail at Missou- la, a fine little city. After leav- ing Missoula we again made a side trip into the mountains go- ing up Rock Creek, a famous fishing stream, for about 20 miles, camping for two or three days there. This is a beauti- ful camping site in the wilder- ness where fish and game are abundant. As we were not pre- pared for hunting, so we did a little fishing and caught about two dozen nice trout, plenty to Mr. and Mrs. Orr were with us from the time we left Wallace and all enjoyed this side trip very much. I will state here that fishing is not as much sport as some may think it is at such places be- cause to do any effective fishing one has to go down the stream wading the water up over the knees most of the time and it is not warm water by any means. After leaving here we passed through Deer Lodge and _ stop- ed at Anaconda (in hotel) | This is a very interesting and | good live city. Here is located the largest smelter in the world, employing 3500 men. may be seen the largest smoke | stack in the world, being 540 feet high and 45 feet in diameter | at the top and 75 feet at the bot- | tom. We had the pleasure of being shown through this large estaviishment and watched how the raw ore (which is shipped in ears from surrounding country) is crushed and ground up and tinally melted in large plates, about 20x86 inches 21% to 3 in- ches thick (a plate is worth about $240.) These plates are * mostly copper, containing a very small amount of gold and silver. After leaving Anaconda we + passed through Butte, the best city in Montana, and up the Con- tinental divide. I wish to remark here that these mountain roads are very deceiving. When going | up the road, which appears to | Le almost level, the driver soon | changes to “low” gear and some- | times a Ford needs a little lift | ehind. From Missoula to Anaconda e passed through a fine irrigat- | d section where much alfalfa is raised. We stopped at White Hall (a small village) and the next day passed through Boze- | man and Livingston (two very rood sized towns) then to Gard- ner, the entrance to Yellowstone Notional Perk, on the north side. After buying some pr ovisions | here we entered the park, paying | $7.50 entrance for each automo- | bile. At the entrance they ask- | ed us for our guns, putting a seal | an each ane so we micht as well hove heen withont any fire arms | in the park. We camped three nights in the park, once near the Mamouth Springs, next at Old (Bitter Root | “range) until about 30 miles west of Missoula where we branched at Frenchtown and) «made a side trip to the Colville where we visited A.

There are so many things to see and talk about in the park that it is almost impossible to tell very much about it. At the Mammoth Springs there are thousands of little and large hot springs, some _ very beautiful and strange as it may | seem, nearly all, are on high places, and the water is so pure | that a person may look down 10 to 15 feet in some of the pools. Near Old Faithful geyser is the most interesting scenery, there | being so many hot water geysers \that it has the appearance of a city of hot water and geysers. Old Faithful is not the largest, | but the most famous on account of its ularity in spouting a large vi e of hot water every 70 minutes and from 100 to 175 feet high. There are others which are not as regular but shoot the water 300 feet or more into the air. We were not fortu- nate in seeing any of these in action. We also tried fishing, but no success as there were thousands who fished there earlier in the season. The second day we spent in the park we were some- what disappointed not to see any deer, bear or other wild animals which roam in the park. Bears Try to Get Provisions. After leaving for Yellowstone Lake we saw all the bears we | wantd to, in fact more that night where we camped. As we prepar- sd our supper, a nice sized little ‘lack bear came around and looked at our fried ham and eggs. It seemed to look very good to him, but we were hungry also and chased him away with rocks. After supper we prepar- jed camp and all went to bed, having tied the balance of our meat and provisions up high be- tween two trees, thinking every- thing safe. At 12 o’clock mid- |night we were awakened by a |recket near onr tent and after the tree having a good hold on the kettle which contained the meat and other provisions.

He was determined, however to get it later on but as we were not so very sleepy we kept company with him until about day break. Neighbors Lost Provisions. It certainly was a romantic night, being up and watching bears, seeing as many as three and four around every few minu- tes. Some of our neighbor camp- ers lost all of their provisions that night and were quite dis- appointed. Leave Park at Western End. The next day we left the park, having made the round trip of 146 miles in the park, leaving the national park at the western entrance, going south, through Saint Anthony, Rexburg, Idaho Falls, Pocatello, all very good sized, new, clean, up-to-date cities. Visit Former Home. After leaving Pocatello we came to the Twin Falls irriga- tion district. Having formerly lived here it was somewhat of a surprise to us to notice the de- | velopment and progress that sec- tion has made. Land is very high priced from $800 to $500 an acre, and they had excellent | clover, alfalfa and wheat crops there this year. We spent near- ly a week in that country and then started for home via Moun- tain Home and Boise were we spent two days with relatives. Visit State Capitol. As Boise is the largest city in Idaho it is worth while to stop there. At Boise they havea special park for campers, eq iip- ed with an electric stove for the use of tourist campers, lawn swings, fine hot and cold water and other conveniences. We al- so took a little dip at the Nata- torium, which is worth while to go and see if at Boise. After leaving Boise we exper- ienced some of the worst hilla and mountains in all of our tra- vels, going by the way of Horse- shoe Bend instead of by way of Weiser, the state road to Mead- ows. Meadows is fully one-half of the way from Boise to Cotton- wood. From Meadows we start- ed for Whitebird and home go- ing along the Littie Salmon, where we agaii experienced some more good fishing, until Riggins and then along the Big Salmon river to Whitebird where some of the most pictur- esque and beautiful scenery is to be found in the west. Sahnon River Roads Good We were told the roads through the Salmon river were very bad: but we did not find them in such a condition. Our trip of 1967 miles was made without the slightest trou- ble, not even a tire puncture. We had our whole family con- sisting of 6 people and with our camping equipment our car weighed about five thousand nonnds. | We found roads near- ‘vy all good through Montana and phont one-half of the southern voeds in the south part of the etete being very dusty and cut un, We noticed especially that the neople of Idaho were more cour- teous and friendly then people which we met in the northern nart of our trip. We also found that prices for nrovisions were much lower in Idaho than through Montana and especially near the park where prices were quite high. Hoping that this short story of our trip will be interesting to some of the readers of the Chro- nicle, whaving written this al- so partly for the benefit of those who intend to make an automo- bile tour, I remain yours truly, JOHN HOENE. “Tip Top” makes more loaves of better bread than other flour on the market. 24-tf “Tip Top” the flower of flours. 23-tf Subscribe for the Chronicte.

They want this country to be able to again turn its undivided attention to social, economic and industrial development, Their leaders may not feel this way, but judging from the expressions which met the president on every side, The leaders have overstepped the limits of the peoples-patience in their stubborn determination to force a change in the great document, Must Take This League. “We must take this League of Na- tions,” said the president, “for there is no way in which another can be obtained without compelling recon sideration by the powers, And it would sit very iil upon my stomach to take it Lack to Germany for considera- tion,” “All over the world people are look- ing to us with confidence our rivais along with the weaker nations, I pray God that the gentlemen who are de- laying this thing may presently see it in a different light,” Germany, the president declared, is taking new courage from our delay in ratifying the treaty and her news- papers and public men were again be coming arrogantly out-spoken, Deeply impressive were the figures of the cost of the late war, in lives and dollars. It was the first time that the official statistics have been made public and the tremendous totals shocked the president's audiences, Shows Cost of World War. “The war,” said President Wilson, cost Great Britain and and her Do- mains $38,000,000,000; France $26,000, 000,000; the United States $22,000,- 000,000; Russia $18,000,000,000; Italy $13,000,000,000 and a total, including the expenditures of Japan, Belgium and other small countries, of $123,000,- 000,000, “It cost the Central Powers as fol- lows: Germany $39,000,000,000; Aus- tria-Hungary, $21,000,000,000; Turkey and Bulgaria $3.000,000,000, “The United States,” the president said, “spent one million dollars an hour night and day for two years in | its struggle to save civilization, All this, however, fades into insigni- flcance when the deaths by battle are considered, declared the president, Russia gave 1, 700,000 men; Germany 1,600,000; France 1,380,000; Great Britain 900,- 000; Italy 364,000; the United States 60,300. In all, almost 7,500,000 men perished in the great struggle, or 1,500,000 more men than died in all of the wars of the previous 100 years. Should Remember Recent Horrors. “These are terrible facts, and we ought never to forget them. We went into this war to do a thing that was fundamental for the world and what I have come-out on this journey for is to determine whether the country has forgotten or not. I have found out, The country has not forgotten and it will never permit any who stands in the way of the fulfillment of our great pledges, ever to forget the sor rowful day he made the attempt.” Arbitration and discussion, the pres- ident pointed out, must replace force of arms in the settlement of world controversies, Constantly he dwells upon the fact that all the nations in the League agree to do one of two things, first to submit their differences | to arbitration, in which case they agree to abide by the decision ren- dered, or, if unwilling to arbitrate, to have their case discussed by the Coun- cil of the League, in which case six months is granted for discussion. Three months must elapse following the result of this last step in arbitra- | tion before the nation concerned can declare war. Holds Out Hope For Ireland, The president took advantage of | Questions propounded by the San Fran- | cisco Labor Council to give the infer- ence that he believes Ireland can bring her case before the League of Nations | for settlement when the League is actually in existence, Shan Tung, he declared, will be re- turned to China, Japan, he said, had given her solemn pledge to that effect. And with the League of Nations in force, said the president, we can, if occasion arises, stand forth and say, “Dhis shall be doze. WR er 8 ren
