In a pack train, the bed-rolls, weigh- 
ing about fifty pounds each, go on either 
side of one horse, and the telescopes on 
each side of another horse —in both 
cases not a full load, and leaving room 
on the top of the pack for a tent and 
other camp things. The saddles, ot 
course, go on the saddle horses. The 
cost of such an outfit, in New York, 
is about two hundred dollars each; but 
it lasts for years and brings you in large 
returns in health and consequent hap- 
piness. 
I am willing to wager my horsehair 
rope (specially designed for keeping off 
snakes) that a summer in the Rockies 
would enable you to cheat time of at 
least two years, and you would come 
home and join me in the ranks of con- 
verts from the usual summer sort of 
thing. Will you try it? If you do,
