Having ridden nearly 400 miles on

Rockies, crossing trails and mountain
passes that thrilled the riders, Mayor

They eventually reached their destina
tion and after a few days' rest, set to
fishing. Though the catches were suf
ficient to meet Immediate demands,
they report the stream well fished out.
Some of their rides through the high
mountain , passes were extremely
thrilling, and all of the party will re
member the vacation as one of the
most exciting and pleasing they have
Indulged in. Others who hnd crossed
an especially hazardous trull, ahead
of them, lost their pack horse. The
animal fell from a cliff, meeting death
when In struck the rorks below.
The mayor will be In his official
seat at the council meeting Wednesday

practice after needed rest.'
