Yellowstone "Aint
Sutherlin Pair Finds Many Changes
a ' ; ' o 0
Early Day Experiences Are Recalled
Many rhangnB wero noted In tlio
Yellowstone nutional park by Mr.
n lid Mrs. T. K. Jones, of Siitlierlin,
formerly of Klko, Nevada, who vU
fled turn famoiiH place almost
half rent n rv ago am) Imvo Just
completed ihelr second trip there
through July,
In 1891. a young couple with
their little son. piled all of I lie I r
iiousebolri possessions, including
ft dozen hens. Into n rovered wan-
on, hitched their half broken hIx
norsn team to It and headed for
their former home In Nevada after
spending seven years In Sherldun,
Wvomfng. Tlehlml trailed n "ul
ky" cart and three heart of horses
running loose. On the side of the
wagon, to conserve Hpace, wa laf
tened ft hii hv buggy nml ft small
Btovo. Inside' the wagon, house,
hold poods were parked, n very
heavy load, II wns round later for
the had roads eneounlered, Piece
by piece, much of the poods was
token out and loll regretfully by
the side of the road, adding to like
roods left bv former travelers In
lightening the loads for their
weary teams.
Two weekB out on the road, Mr.
and Mrs. Jones arrived nt the north
entrance of the Yellowstone nark
nt Mammoth hot snrings. They
worn admitted bv (he blue clad sold
iers, then in charge of the park,
their puns sealed, passed tho fort
and told to enter and view tho won
ders of the Place that few had
seen at Unit tinio. No charge was
made at the entrance. A lare
log hotel was near the site of the
springs where one could have
trinkets coated with n oueer white
formation by hanging them in the
springs for ft few days; or, novel
ties could he purchased that bad
olreadv been coated. A small re
plica of a bulldog took the fnncy
of Mrs. Jones and was purchased
to rest on some V,re mantle
piece: Then down the canyons,
along the shoulder of the moun
tains, on roads that, seemed hardly
wide enough to accomodate their
wagon, passed tho little cavalcade.
Sometimes the road dipped sharp-
Iv down to tho Yellowstone rlvur,
then climbed up again to dizzy
heights. After several hours they
were stooped bv a guard who In
formed them that they must wait
to Jet several Btnuo coaches that
we're due pans. A for a long wait
sixteen "Concords" came slowly
tin the grade and passed safely.
The others .wero delayed and the
guard told them that they might,
be able to get down the mountain
before the stages started up. Hut
at a narrow place, they met the
first -of two more stages, and pull
Ing their team in close to the bank,
they waited. The passengers
alighted to take no chances In go
ing over tho blufr If tho way prov
ed loo narrow. Tho coach passed
without trouble but the second
coach bad a driver who was either
nervous or Inexperienced. He flick-1
ed tho inside horse with a whip,
the horse; Jumped crowding the
outside horse over the edge. It.1
leaped lo safety, one wheel of the;
coach went over the edge and hung!
uncertainly lb space, then, to the;
tremendous relief of horrified on
lookers, settled hack again lu tho
track. With rigid muscles they
watched the coach roll slowly past
Ihe brink of death to safely. Then
Ihe 'shock of the near tragedy made
all tho travelers laugh at each
other unrestrainedly In relief. The
occupants or the stage, all Kngllsh
tourists, dressed In checkered short
pants and carrying monocles were!
as amusing to the westerners us
their covered wagon with its stove
and baby buggy, to the easterners.
Mr. and Mrs. Jones went ou down
the road chuckling. Their merri
ment was short-lived, however, for
suddenly one of the "bronco"
wheel horses started kicking and
running, throwing the whole team
Into confusion. Mr. Jones, using
nil his strength on the "ribbons"
and brake, fought for control of
the panicky team.
"You'd heller Jump!", he shout
ed above the tumult of the wildly
careening wagon, to his terrified
wife, clinging to the side, their
little boy in her anus. Making nor
way to the side of the wagon where
the "sheet" was loosened, she look
ed down. A sheer drop of hun
dreds of feel met her shocked eyes.
Hastily she went to Ihe rear of the
wagon but the bouncing cart told
her that it would be sure death to
try to jump there. Suddenly a
great commotion brought (lit mud
Iv racing vehicle to an abrupt hall.
The offending horse was down
amid a tangle of harness. Quickly
the driver had them lu control and
reassured his white faced wife.
No further trouble encountered on
the trip down, the weary travelers
camped In ti green meadow and
turned their hobbled horses to
graze.
No 'tuner travelers were seen by
Mr: and Mrs. Jones In their 1wo
weeks stay in the park. Alone they
viewed "Old faithful" as It spouted
one hundred and rife y feet In the
nir, falling back to leave a crust
far n round Its base where fi fell.
Alone they marveled at the great
mountain of flint, the sulphur hill
and ventured Into the "hevil's KH
ichen." n huge raverii'that was entered-
rather fearfully and where
the ears were nsaailed by a mighty
rum hip nnd roar growing louder,
until one hesitated to go deeper
into Its darkness. The Paint pels
were many and delightfully color
. ed-ftomu pink, snnm white and
others drub grrty, all bubbling
nway merrily like pots of mush.
The beautiful Yellowstone gorge
with itfl'multiieolored walls seemed
uiireah mora HWo n painting to be
carried nway In the mind's eye.
No deer or bear was to be seen ill
though t many elgnu were in evi
dence. ' (lathering specimen here
nnd there they inntvelcd nt the na
tural wonders of tho place. Kin
filly airing of it nil and eager to
set? f heir relatives, they made Ihelr
'way' to the western entrance. Were
,groeted once more by tho soldiers,
their .gun& unsealed ami the next

, long miles begun. Tho entire trlii
took six weeks before reuchinj(
their home In Nevada,
Now forty-seven years ' later,
this same couple traveling lu a
modern conveyance, find many
changes along the way. A car and
trailer has taken the place of the
covered wagon and cart. A seven
tv horse power motor speeds them
over smooth highways covering
the distance in ten days that took
six weeks with Ihe six horse team
At tlx entrance of the park, they
are greeted, with a score of other
arrivals, bv a smartlv khaki clad
ranger, who lakes Ihelr names,
seals (heir guns, hands them lit
erature and gives then) rules, col'
lects a fee and bids them enter
and enjoy Hie mysteries of the
park. In vain thev looked for Ihe
old Ing hotel, only lo be told It
had been torn down, a lew Iol's
Kiln led out as part of Hie old
building. The huge bubbling
Mauimoutl) hot springs that had
cascaded over a terrace had dried
up and was to be seen only from
the ton. No more does one have
trinkets coaled in its waters. Mrs.
Jones looked ruefully at the little
old dog that had seen many hard
years use on the mantle, which
she had brought with her to "fresh
en up" En the spring.
"I had hoped lo have Ills brok
en toe coated," she said wIsLfully.
A huge beautifully constructed log
building Old Faithful 1 tin, num
erous fine lodges, fine camping lu-
cilllies, wide highways, thousands
of ears nnd, trailers made the place
seem to the Old Timers like noth
ing they had ever seen before.
Down the canyon on a wide smooth
highway passing thousands of cars
they went. A huge camp ground
ami Blorn stood on the spot where
they had camped. Many of the
paint pots bad dried up, the crack
ed earth Ihe only evidence of their
ever existing. Instead of scram
bling over rocks and untraveled
placets, walks had been laid nut
around the "pots" with a sign now
and then to warn the too curious
of "dangerous ground." Tho flint.
mountain remains the same and
beam tho digtilflort name of "Ob
sidian." "Old Faithful" hat-: evi-
lenllv grown tired In the past fifty
years and does not go half so high.
It Is gloriried nt night by beautiful
colored lights playing on It. The
Devil's Kitchen" may not bo en
tered from the cave but instead a
very safe ladder goes down a shaft.
No roaring greets the ear, however
so perhaps Ihe "Kitchen" has gone
modern too. The heautnui gorge
remains unchanged through the
years and the Old Timers feasted
ihelr eyes on lis splendor refresh-
ng their memories. Probably the
gicalest. change, other than the
great throngs or people, were me
bears. Where none had been lu
evidnnco In '91, now (ho park
swarms with the great brutes. At
folding lime, tourists are instruct
ed lo park their cars and go Into
cagethe Pears are man ieu
outside.
Meat Is a sure trouble maker
In camp nnd llruin will go through
steel for a slice of bacon. Campers
string their meat up on poles for
sal'e-kec.p'ng and even then some
times the bears get it. Aiinougu
they are gentle as they tumble
around camp, search lift garbage
cans, tipping things' over ami cans-,
ng misrhier many. ways, they are
ous when red and many peo
ple are injured every year through
lie r own carelessness disregard
ing rules about feeding the anl-,
nulls.
tench nighl special lectures are
given and old favorite songs sung
about the cainplire. The rangers!

I'he Old Timers collected no!

Aviation Editor, The Oregunlan
HEY look at me sympathet
ically and . wink at their
friends every time 1 say I've
made a week-end trip to New
York city. Such a statement In
type does look odd, I'll admit, and
maybe they have good reason
to suspect I've gone a bit balmy.
As a matter of fact, I'm not cer
tain that I believe It myself.
But that's the fact: I have
proof that I left Portland on a
Friday night, spent Saturday aft
ernoon and night and all day
Sunday oq the other side of the
continent and returned to the
old grind on the Pacific coast
Monday.
Elapsed time: 63 hours and 20
minutes.. 1
Sky time: 35 hours.
New York time: '28 hours and
20 minutes.
Miles: 5390, plus.
It was around 6 o'clock on a
Friday after a day's typewriter
punching1 and X looked forward
to depositing! my 17Q pounds' (nifll
a comfortably deep! and. roomy,
seat on the waiting airliner out- -
i side the 'Administration, building

i Just tWo minutes,, btfore the '
scheduled departure time. ' the
loudspeaker said, in effect,'
"Board!" and at 6:23 P. M.,
eastern standard time, the huge
ship It was a Douglas Main
liver was rolling onto the field
for the takeoff. ( . 1 '
At the windward' end, the en
gines were revved up, first one
and then the other, this to see
that all was well, and only sec
onds later 12 tons of airplare,
Including a sizable passenger list,
were' in the air going east In a
thunderous hurry.
' A light haze lay over Portland
and as we climbed up toward
the mouth of the Columbia rivei
gorge the Rose City did a movie
fadeout. I asked myself secretly:
Is it possible for me to go ro
far and be back here Monday,
just two days hence?' '
Land at Pendleton
. We landed at Pendleton. An
hour and a quarter behind us.
Two hundred and four air miles.
An eastern Oregon wind rus-;
tied the rolling wheatlands and
whipped Pendleton's airport-on-a-hilltop
as, a few miriutes later;
the' airliner squared off into it
and surged into the dusk. Some
where Into the southeast wo
wew soaring now.
The Blue mountains were a
blur tn the failing light. Present?
ly there was little, to draw air
tentlon to the wide, windows for
any of the passengers excepting
the twinkling lights of towns far
below and the cold, white stars
of a clear but moonless night
above. Here and there mountain

the- aisle looking for vantage
points, we could have failed en
tirely to. note that just below was
the northern tip of 80-miie Salt

White-rimmed beach.
The stewardess pointed out
Brigham and Ogden, and by
pressing a cheek against the
window and cocking one eye

A goodly number of- Brigham

almost midnight In mountain

hours and 45 minutes out of
Portland, or-70S miles from home,
when we reached this Inter-moun-taln
hub of, air services. . , .
Ho DrendcA 'Sleeper -1
Wilkins chatted with friends,
while I cunsumed the change
over time, stretching and peering
quizzically Into the - eastern
heavens. I didn't mind the light
ning that was stabbing the tall
Wasatch range, knowing that
the Air is the safest place to be
In an electrical storm, for there
is no ground connection In case
of a strike and the ship sheds the
charge like a duck sheds water.
I didn't mind probable rough
spots ahead, either, because I'd
rather ride tho air bumps than
the glassy-smooth and monoton
ous levels. .
No, I wasn't thinking of safety
or comfort, although 1 was glad
to sec some honcst-to.goodness
lightning again and hear the
mighty rumblings. The sleeper
being prepared for us outside
was my problem, that midnight
In Utah's capital. I didn't think
I'd like the sleeper. i
i But I passed along the aisle,
stopping once gingerly to pull
identification of persons sopiting to
open accounts -or to have checks
cashed. . 1

confessed that despite hundreds

the big dipper through it before
the monotonous hum of the en

side the cabin. In my waking mo

sleepwalkers aboard, prowling
over the wings, but soon got a
more sensible explanation of the
disturbance when someone said
to someone else that It had been
"raining pretty - hard here in

For years I hose large sign

This year we went down there

and we missed seeing city, lake
or anything but spots of Illinois
and Indiana. We were still en
gaged with .lunch when the
ground again appeared. And it
wasn't ail terra firma, either.
Lake Erie lay calm and gray to
the north. We had passed Toledo
and somewhere not far ahead
should be Cleveland, scene of the
national air races and one of the
nation's finest airports.
Past Cleveland, which lay
sprawled along the lakeshorc, the
airway led over gently rolling
hills, evidenced by the addition
of a few wiggles in the surface
routes. Then we knew we were
nearing Pennsylvania and its ad
vertised "open-faced" coal mines.
With the Delaware river (rath
er small to be so famous) under
us, we passengers lost interest in
real estate and began gathering
up our personal belongings. The
rolling, well-kept N'ew Jersey
countryside gave no hint that it
is a veritable mu.sci'rn of the
revolution and should be viewed
with awe at ieast respect. .
It was 1:44 P. M., eastern
standard time, or 2:44 by the
daylight-saving clock, that I end
ed the first leg of my week-end
journey across the continent;
Seventeen and three-quarters
hours and 2695 miles out of Port
land. This was Saturday after
noon. Tired? No, but I'll admit
I was glad to put my feet on the
ground and have only small areas
to look at.

, A waiting United limousine
added some diversion on the 45

It nosed down Into the Holland
