Camping The month of August of this year was spent by 

 in Kings ]y[j.g Jordan and myself in the Kings River Canyon. 

 Canyon With US wete Professor and Mrs. Ellwood P. Cub- 

 berley, both former students of mine in Indiana, and 

 near by (among others who had gone in some time 

 before) Professors Richardson, Kellogg, and Guido 

 Marx, all of long experience in the art of camping. 



Twenty years ago the hundred-mile stretch from 

 railway to Canyon was not made as today by 

 automobile. From Sanger, where we left the train, 

 we staged about two thirds of the way to Millwood, 

 traveling at night to avoid the heat. Arriving at 

 the latter place, we found Richardson and Kellogg, 

 who had generously tramped out to make sure we 

 reached our destination in comfort and safety.
