Show JUDGE W, H. REEDER ENJOYS 0UTIN6 IN " WYOMING Municipal Judge W. H. Rceder, jr., returned yesterday evening from a two weeks trip into tho Jackson Hole country of Wyoming with Forester R. E. Gery, the trip being made by the jurist for purposes of pleasure and by the forester for official reasons. In speaking of the trip this morning, Judge Reeder said: "We went from Ogden to Victor, Idaho, by rail, and there took the stage Into the Jackson Hole country. Driving north, we proceeded to 'Jen ny's' lake, one of the prettiest lakes in the world Our further journey took us to Jackson's lake, along Buffalo Buf-falo creek, to the Snake river, down that stream to tho Hoback river From tho Hoback wo went to Bailey's Bai-ley's river and followed that to Bailey's Bai-ley's lake. "Our next movewas across the divide di-vide between Star Valley nnd the Jackson Hole country to Gray's river. That stream was 'followed to the Snake river and we came out of the wilds and home by way of Afton and Montpelier, Idaho. "At each of the streams and lakes, I passed much of te time fishing and enjoying camp life, while Mr. Gery attended to the forest service matters mat-ters that had taken him into the country. "Aside from the pleasure of the outdoor sports, I got some real forest service experience and found that this branch of the United States department depart-ment of agriculture in this part of the country is doing a wonderful amount of good, not only in preserving preserv-ing timber, but In reforestation and in the building of roads and bridges, thus making a country, otherwise inaccessible, in-accessible, accessible. "In meeting the sheepmen and cattlemen cat-tlemen of the region, I found that the old range feuds are a thing of the past, this being a result of the segregation seg-regation of lands bj' the forest service serv-ice department for grazing purposes. The bigness of the work that is being be-ing undertaken by Uncle Sam's men, the fine results of which are to bo seen on every hand in the wild country, coun-try, seemed wonderful to me and I found tho supervisors and rangers 10 be the most versatile and cleanest type of men I ever had the privilege of meeting" While on tho return trip, Judge Reeder stopped at Wilson, Wyo., and Victor, Idaho, for a short time. At the former place, he met Robert Lun-dy, Lun-dy, former mayor of Ogden, who conducts con-ducts a large supply, and at Victor, had a short visit with C. H. Harton, a former Ogden merchant, who is managing the supply house of B. F Blodgett, also an old resident of this ' city |
