horseback, others in wagons and many
of them on foot. A party of twenty,
including Anna Nordstrom, a young
Norwegian girl, started from Cashmere,
the end of the railroad line, to walk
to Selm, nearly 100 miles. The trail j
took them across rivers and- over
buttes. Their route lay through the
reservation where the only food tliey
could obtain was such as they could
carry with them and their only shelter
was the blue sky.
Several of the party were, compelled i
to give up before the journey was com- !
pleted, but Miss Nordstrom, though
only a frail looking girl, stuck plucklly ,
to her task und with eight other of the
party succeeded In reaching Selm n
