INTER-OCEAN HUNTING TALES 



I will enumerate what I took and then state 

 the cost: I had a guide and a cook; a tent 

 for myself and another which served as 

 quarters for the three men and also for a 

 dining pavilion; a sheet-iron stove for each 

 tent, which, with several lengths of pipe 

 weighed very little; two folding tables and 

 several chairs that packed into very small 

 space; plenty of warm bedding and under- 

 wear; a liberal supply of canned stuff soups, 

 meats, vegetables, preserves, etc. besides the 

 usual standbys, flour, bacon, my rifle, ammu- 

 nition, etc., and a few books to read when 

 I was tired o-f hunting and wanted to loaf in 

 camp. The cost was as. follows : Guide, $3 

 per day; horse wrangler, $2 per day; cook, 

 $3 per day; eight pack horses, 50 cents apiece 

 per day; six dogs, no charge. 



Provisions, consisting principally of canned 

 stuff, at from 15 to 20 cents a can, I pur- 

 chased at St. Anthony, Idaho. I had about 

 $60 worth of canned stuff, and had some left
