our watches watches' and next turn turned d into I Echo canyon which leads up and on onward onward onward on- on ward to the highlands on which Evanston Evanston Evans- Evans ton toi is situated On the left just as I you y u turn up the tho Echo road are ate gorgeous gorgeOUS gorgeous gorge gorge- i ous r red d hills that flood the eye with a deluge of soft shades of red rod and purple purple pur pur- PIe under the morning sun It was somewhere along here that somebody called attention to the rising sun We Ve VeaU all aU got out to watch the sp spectacle c but butI I for one can caa nOt describe it Nor do doI I 1 believe bellave that anyone else could It is enough to say however that the sunrise sunrise sunrise sun sun- fade Inroy in rise was one which will never my roy memory and I 1 have seen many another another another an an- other one in days agone agone We Ve got into Evanston at exactly half past eight Considering that we had hadnot hadnot hadnot not been making an any effort to hurry but were enjoying the scenery by the I way the time was exceptional just exceptional just justI four tour hours We Ye ate breakfast in Evanston Evanston Evanston Evans- Evans I ton and Im I'm glad Sid found a friend up Ut there who paid for it CannibAls breaking a weeks week's fast could not have had anything on our appetites Leaving Evanston after breakfast we made a detour of twenty miles to look at a big coal coat mine and then journeyed jour- jour 1 ne ed on to Cumberland where we stopped only long enough to take onI on some gasoline I At Diamond Diamondville a mile or two this I side of Kemmerer we stopped topped again I for a few minutes while Sid SkI transacted some business with one of his custom customers custom custom- I ers era and then proceeded to Kemmerer I had always thought of Kemmerer I as simply a place where they the mined coal I found that it was while a coal mining center also the outfitting out point for the great Jacksons Jackson's Hole Bole country I and while th there e I met dozens of the i stockmen who are arc just finishing j fall and who come to Kemmerer Kern Kem- in in bunches MORE THAN ROMANCE I One man whom T I met Ed Barrett j showed me nie a check for which I lie hI ha had just received from Omaha for three year old steers I began to think that there is a great deal more to the tho cattle business than romance We Ye met many other natives of ot that fat far country in which I had always thought nothing but wild animals and desperadoes abounded and I T at last was convinced that at least this edge of the Hole is pretty well civilized It was worth the three hours we stayed In Kemmerer to hear the stories i told of the olden days by the pioneers of the time when Wyoming was the theland theland theland I land of the Virginian They still hunt bl big game there though and hardly a aday aday day passes that some Easterner and I party is not piloted into the farthest I fastnesses of the Hole in search of I elk mountain lion anc and an another other wild denizens deni deni- zens I After eating supper at Kemmerer we started on the return trip in the i early darkness At Diamondville they were having a dance and we stopped awhile to watch some new range steps I that we had never before seen Here w we saw something that I had never I thought to see In a country and that was an inn with two barmaids Although the place was filled with miners stockmen and others we never heard one rough word spoken Its It's II probably a new ide Ide 1 i in cattle land but It seems to be a good one for a wet country I I At Kemmerer w we took on two other I Da I I forgot forgot to mention th them themI em I before One was Little Scotty cott and I the other Big Scotty Th Thee were I the only names given to me anyway and they will have to do for lack lk of oth others rs The rhe wind grew rew so cold and biting after we left Diamondville that we were glad to put up the side curtains cur cur- I Lulled by bv the motion of the car I Iwas Iwas Iwas was soon in in a drowse which however howver how how- ever ver was not 8 so deep that I wasn't able to hear som else that surprised sur sur- me mc Incidentally I found out outI why Howard hunt Hont is such a past maSter master mas mas- ter ter- at the art of driving an automo automo- I bile bUe AN OLD I I For Howard grew reminiscent and he IH beg began n to tell Bill BUI Culmer stories I I of his hl youth around Cheyenne Che emle Wyo i Yes Howard u ud d d to bust and brand cattle That was his job lob I when when-a n boy bov After one has spent years I In a saddle guiding numerous unruly j I I driving an automobile Is not nota I II I a hard thing to learn Just before we came to the top of I I the hilt hill above Evanston Howard Howar gave ave aveliS us liS concrete evidence of the firm hand handI his early training accounted for I There is a turn in the road at this i point that makes almost an acute anne an- an ne and none of us being familiar with I this fact it was not strange strang-e that there was no slackening of our speed r which I must have been around twenty-five twenty miles mills an When we hit the turn I I wa was confident that we could not notI escape being hurled into the ditch So SoI I machine I was everybody else In the i Howard said afterward it wagI was wag I rot due to any rood good driving of hl his that we e weren't ditched but we knew I better It was not till next day ilay lla that I any of ot us cared to discuss the Incident mel Inci t dent or to how Howard had I saved ayed us And then he wouldn't say ay anything but it was his his ability to I tI tighten and loosen his grip of the steering wheel at just the right moments moments mo mo- ments and with the rarest presence of mind that kept us all from being I either badly injured or killed If the rest of the Daisy sta stare e drivers ers era are as good a as the bo hogs bols s its it's easy I to see why the Daisy Dals- line Is so popular l lIar lar wherever Its eleven stages go I II I We stopped in Evanston over night I Starting out the next afternoon we passed cattle on a thousand hills and then other thousands of or hills Cattle I and sheep in bunches and drOvEs es in eved valley and arroyo I II I I The sun shone bright and warm unI un un- i til late when another of those sting I I lag Ing winds blew up This part of the I trip was enlivened by b- two punctures I We drove into Park City In the early I evening having passed several automobiles automobiles automobiles auto auto- mobiles frozen up on the road Ice I I I covered every pool pooi and the fringes of I I the streams we saw during the last I I I few miles to the little mining town I am mentioning this for the benefit of other motorists who may be contemplating con con- trips up that way from I j 7 now on Even the Cadillac froze froze- a atin tin tiny bit but not enough to Keep us I I I I i from from making Salt Lake at 30 that night It was a grand trip and I dont don't i
