Show THE HELPER The Bartleson- UTAH TURKS Bidwell Party SELL HIGHEST By Edgar Ledyard, President AT HOLIDAY After Jedediah Smith's historic M. The Christmas "Gobbler" pool marketed by the Northwest Turkey Growers' association totaled nearly 100 carloads or 2,000,000 pounds, accordng to announce ment recently made by Clyde C, Emonds, general manager. Included in the pool were about 25 carloads or half million pounds of Utah turkey produced by some 2,000 Beehive state growers. The entire northwest pool will bring well over $500,000 to the 12,000 producers in seven north and west states. Utah's portion will be at least $125,000 Top grade Christmas turkeys shipped from Utah and the other states and marketed by the Northwest turkey organization will net the producers about 29 or 30 cents per pound, which' is thought to be the highest prices paid this year for any turkeys in America. r The pool, comprising the major portion of the commercial production Jn Utah, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Nevada, Washington, Colorado and Wyoming, was disNew tributed in metropolitan York and other markets in the New England states, Chicago, Philadelphia and several California cities. Average prices were slightly higher than those received for Thanksgiving birds. The northwest organization's approximate basis of net settlement to the producers follows: U. S. prime young toms, 30c; U. S. prime young hens, 28c; U. S. choice young toms, 28c; U. S. choice young hens, 2fc; U. 9. old toms, 23c; U. S. old hens, 23c; and U. S. medums, 22c. Officials estimate that 75 to 80 per cent of the pool will grade prime and choice. The final pay checks should be in the hands of the growers by January 10.

Sixty-nin- e people started out from Sapling Grove with John Bartleson as Captain, who was chosen, "not because he was the best man," but because he refused to go if he did not occupy a position as leader. The party was- - fortunate in having as its guide .the experienced trallsm an and Indian strategist, Thomas Fltzpatrlck. According to Father DeSmet, carried fifty of the sixty-nin- e guns and could use them advanOxen, tageously. mules, and horses were the motive power; no cows were taken along which proved a hardship on the children. Each member of the party was presumed to have not less than a barrel of flour, with sufficient sugar, to carry him. through; for meat the party depended upon game along the route. Bidwell states that his but gun was an old flintlock, a good one. He chose this rather than one of the "new fangled" ones wth percussion caps since the oJd hunters told him that caps might become lost or wet, whereas if a flint were lost another one could be picked up on the plains. There was probably not more than $100.00 in cash in the entire party; had there more, there were few places to spend it. The entire party followed the South Fork of the Platte river, crossed the North Fork, passing noted landmarks like Courthouse Chimney Rocks, Scott's Bluff, Rock, reaching Fort Laramie safely after a few experiences with Indians. Independence Rock and Devil's Gate were noted as they passed along the Sweetwater, after which they struck the Big Sandy, Green River, Blark'3 Fork, the Bear riar and Soda Springs. As noted above, the party divided at Soda Springs. The orig- " . -- "We are Pleased to Announce the Opening of The Venice Cafe constructed.

When Father DeSmet turned to the northwest with his immediate party, Fitzpatrick and others, in there were only thirty-tw- o the Bartleson-Bidwe- ll group who determined to go to California by way of Great Salt Lake and the Humboldt. In the words of Bidwell, the country to the west was a "veritable terra incognito" and the only thing the party knew was that California lay in that direction. The Bartleson party did some little exploration work around Soda Springs, mostly in response to curoslty. The expedition was delayed while awaiting the arrival of the four men sent to Fort Hall to obtain information regarding the route across tha desert. Ten days were required for the Fort Hall trip but the men returned to the main party without any definite information regarding the route. It was September when they reached the northern extremity of Great Salt Lake. Traveling in this section was very difficult, and delays of an hour or more occurred dally. The aspect of the country was forbidding with its alkali and stunted sagebrush. The water at the mouth of Bear River, while salty, quenched the thirst of the animals and savivl their lives but the alkali vegetation they refused, jaded aa they were. Two more scouts were sent out to obtain information and five days passed before these men returned with the information that they could see mountains in the distance. The party then decided to throw away all unnecessary equipment, pack their possessions on the oxen, mules and horses and mako a race across the desert. Pilot Peak was finally reached and from that poin the party made southwest, following somewhat the present line of the W'estern Pacific railroad in thl3 vicinity, then through Steptoe Valley In to Ruby Valley and north thru Secret Pass, striking the Hum boldt in the vicinity of Halleck to some authorities according and beyond Elko according to others. The Humboldt, with its) boggy banks and nonpalatable water, was followed to the "Sink." While camped on Walker river, eight men were sent ahead tr. explore the country to the south. These men probably readier! what is now called Carson Lake; the Indiana there were friendly and suppjied them with fish and pine nuts. Captain Bartleson, overweight when he left Missouri, was reduced to a shadow and remembering the delectable things of that state said, "Boys, If I ever get back to Missouri I will not leave that country. I would gladly eat out of the troughs with left the my hogs." Bartleson party twice and Benjamin Kel-se- y was in charge when part of the Sierras were crossed. Some of the emaciate horses were stolen and killed by the Horse Thief Indians. The party finally arrived in California without knowing were and some where they thought that five hundred miles of travel lay ahead. Mt. Diablo, now famous as a triangulatlon point, was sighted. The Sau and Joaquin rver was crossed soon afterward they reached Dr. Marsh's ranch where the tired travelers learned that they were in El Dorado. Strange as it may seem, the entire party finally reached Sutter's Fort without the loss of an individual. Bartleson's memory Is lost In the maelstrom of California occupation, the gold rush and other early events of California. Bidwell learned ranching from Sutter, also how to handle Indians, drew the contract between Sutter and Marshall for the building of the mill where gold was discovered, wrote the declaration of the "Bear Flag Revolution," took $100,000 In gold out of Bidwell's Bar, founded Chlco, first can- became California's party of .lit"."'". .,f.,t.n sixty-nin- f MMIM n ii 1 DOMBINO'C J Helper Furniture & Hardware Co.
