BY ANNK SHANNON MONROE.
HARDY CREEK, Cal., Feb. 1. (Spe
cial correspondence.) If ever you
hear any one Bay that the Winter
is no time to hike from Eureka to San
Francisco, just tell him for us, the
Mazama contingent now 100 miles out
from Eureka, on the way, that he is
clear off in his calculations. In the
Winter, as we are finding' It, there is
nothins but sunny skies and balmy air.
In 10 days there has been only one
small shower. Our raincoats, gum
boots, leggings and ponchos are all for
sale at your own price.
While comfortably warm all the
time, it is never too warm. No dust
flies in our faces. No mosquitoes tor
ment us. The greenery is just as green
as in Summer, the shrubbery as aro
matic and little yellow violets lift
their faces perkily as we go by. ,ven
ripe strawberries, somewhat seedy, It
is true, tempt us. But blest in the su
perlative is the Winter hiker through
these hill roads is the aDsence oi auio
mobiles. You would not know an auto
mobile had ever been invented and as
for the tooting horn and the odoi we
have forgotten what they are like,
while all the time the roads, save in
spots where slides have occurred, are
the acme of an automobilists dream.
The automobilists have evidently die
tated these lovely winding roads
through- rolling hills of incredible
beauty. But here is the joker in the
deck: They didn't dictate the streams.
The turbulent, tearing California
streams toss off their bridges like
spirited ponies their packs and leave
the automobilist to face the situation
with nothing to meet It.
Log; or Boat Found.
We foot passengers find an old foot
log or a leaky boat that by continual
balling will turn the trick. At one
place we found a wire bridge sus
pended across a stream from tree to
tree. We crossed one by one, feeling
rather wobbly toward the end of the
journey: for the bridge takes on a
swaying sing-song accompaniment that
tends to be unnerving, cut we an goi
across in safety. The country is
sparsely settled and the people seem to
stay at home in the Winter time, so
hardly a human being have we met in
the first 100 miles of our hike, save
those at the farm homes or old Inns
where we spend the nights. This gives
to our hike the Impression oi oeing
made through primeval wilds. In the
Summer, when the rivers consent to
wear their bridges, I can easily imagine
these loveliest of roads lined with au
tomobiles. There must have been some
reason for building them and certainly
the few settlers could not have In
spired them. If any one in Oregon
needs to be insmred with the value oi
good country roads, just let him hike
down through Humboldt and uenoo-
cino Counties.
Another wonderful thing for the
Winter hiker is getting the real thing
in the way of hospitality. I. cannot
think that an ordinary Summer hiker
or an automobile party could receive
the receptions to which we are treated.
We have got to the point of putting
up bets on our coming host and hostess.
No one has won so far for each new

and at first only the fact of having
hiked all day, of there being no choice
between that and a Bhelter under a
tree, could Induce us to go up to the
old sunken roofed dwelling and ask to
be taken in. But strange to nay, the
poorer the dwelling the finer the peo
ple. Every one of these toothless,
knock-kneed, caved-in domiciles has
yielded up the very flower of hos
pitality; clean, fresh beds, big, roar
ing fires and food ucb. food! I
