Snake River on here a piece, we'll be 

 all right." 



" I thought we had been crossing it 

 for the past hour," I was feminine 

 enough to gasp. 



" Oh, yes, them's forks of it ; but the 

 main stream's on ahead, and it's mighty 

 treacherous, too," was the calm reply. 



When we reached the Snake River, 

 there was no doubt that the others were 

 mere forks. Fortunately, Joe Miller 

 and his two sons live on the opposite 

 bank, and make a living by helping 

 people escape destruction from the 

 mighty waters. Two men waved us 

 back from the place where our driver 

 was lashing his horses into the rushing 

 current, and guided us down stream 

 some distance. One of them said : 



" This yere ford changes every week, 

 but I reckon you might try here." 



We did.
