we could speak of nothing but that 
moose and I honestly believe he was the 
finest one I have ever seen. I have 
noticed, however, that a bull moose 
standing up in front of one appears to 
have a larger spread than he actually 
has, due to the animal’s majestic ap¬ 
pearance. 
The sky became overcast shortly 
after this and as we were anxious to 
make Mile 35 before it started to 
storm, we hastened on and thought it 
hardly likely that we should see any 
more moose that day. But when with¬ 
in a very short distance of the old 
stopping place, a five-year-old bull 
stepped out of some heavy spruce and 
ambled slowly down the trail ahead of 
us. He was so close the horses plunged 
and snorted in terror and when we 
finally got them quited down I stood 
up in the sleigh and shot Mr. Bull 
Moose. He gave a couple of heavy 
plunges, off the trail into the bush, and 
lay down to die. On account of the 
impending storm I didn’t bother to 
skin him at the time as it took me 
quite long enough to clean the kill. 
It was storming heavily and bitter 
cold when we pulled up at the old 35. 
Luckily we had some hay for the 
horses and once we got them in an old 
stable they were quite comfortable. 
We had brought a small sheet-iron 
stove with us, this we set up in the 
old log cabin and while I got some 
water from a nereby spring the wife 
built a fire in the stove and started 
supper. Soon the odor of frying 
moose steaks made us forget all about 
the cold driving, and after a bounteous 
feast we sat by the fire for two or 
three hours, living over again our 
various experiences and, because we 
were young, dwelling much on our 
future fortunes and the times we 
would yet have together. And to¬ 
morrow we would start back for our 
little home on the Athabasca, success¬ 
ful in that we had secured a good 
supply of meat. 
Again I went over the Medicine 
Lodge Trail and this time went on up 
Lynx Creek to look for another cabin 
which was well up in the hills toward 
the head of this small stream. I did 
not know exactly where this cabin was 
situated and it took me three days to 
locate it and get straightened around. 
Knowing that my wife would be 
anxious about me, I went back down 
to the Athabasca without accomplish¬ 
ing anything beyond finding the cabin 
and a bunch of traps. On the way 
back I picked up a couple of martens 
and about thirty weasels. The little 
white animals were very numerous and, 
as they averaged a dollar and a half 
that year, were not to be ignored. 
On the next trip to the Upper Cabin, 
as I called it, I explored further south¬ 
east and noting a large number of
