IDAHO'S PRIMITIVE ARKA.
\
(Edward 7. Rhod.nbau.rh)
In the first article of this seriesthe writer has described briefly
this large,almost primeval wildernesa in the heart of Idaho.About twenty
years ago a dozen or so stock ranchea were started on lower Pig ?reek and
in Chamberlain Basin but it took some ten days or so to drive cattle out
to shipping points so the handicap was too great.It is likely that the
few such places left will in future be headquarters from which tourists
in the area will work out by pack and saddle horses.It is indeed hard
for the diatanoe-oonauming traveller of today to realize that here are
no automobile roads,that in fact there is only one road whioh even comes
to the boundary and that is on the west side at Bi* Creek Headquarters
a mile or ao from RdwardBburg a tiny settlement.Here,thank Nature,there
ia one place where the autoiet cannot dash in,whirl around,give it the
once over and drive away!Only those who have good walking lege or are
equine-minded oan really enter and see this promised land.iven Zane
Grey with his striped tents and Chinese cook must travel thua.
On the morning of the 18th. of last July a party assembled at
my cabin near McCall for a trip into the Primitive Area. Dean John R.
Dyer,Prof. Victor 'ones and Dr. Ray J.Davis had arrived from Pooatello
the night before and Just to get into training for a hard life had
bivoucked in the adjacent woods the preceding night.Prof, ftdwln Anderton
