paychecks, many running to
four figures, trappers with
great bundles of skins, hunters
with their full quota of heads
and horns, tourists who have
been seeing the country and
promoters who have been look
ing the held over with an eye
to future investments — all
these have tubbed shoulders
and exchanged experiences
good and bad both while waiting
for transportation to their des
tinations.
And what different destina
tions they have! One goes to!
Switzerland to the home of his
boyhood, one to Norway. Two
go to Texas and many back East
every one with the knowledge of
a season well spent, and the
intention of returning in the
Spring.
