Tucked away in an Archive in
the Conservation Department at
Harrisburg is a map of State Game
Lands No. 57. This reservation of
a million acres has one entrance
five miles west of Noxen. Inside
the gate another four or five miles
beyond Dinstels quite a large sec-
tion recorded on the official state
map as Hell's Kitchen. How it got:
its name is a story worth telling.
Years before the State took over
Squire Ralph Davis and his hunt-
ing pals of Harveys Lake built a
small cabin in this wild country on
North Mountain and used it as a
nightly stopover if each man in
the hunting party failed to bag
his deer on the first day.
Many a year when five men
went up there to hunt they would
come home with as many deer
the second or third day and the
Squire has photographs of the an-
imals, Hanging in front of his
home, to prove it. Such good times
were had at this cabin, known as
the Davis Stopover, that often the
boys. would get together even out
of hunting season, drive to Dinstels,
and walk five miles to the cab-
in, light a fire in the wood stove
and just sit around talking of old
times and playing a little high, low,
Jack, or shoot crows and come
back to the lake next day full of
exuberance and tales of wild ani-
mals seen, and bear tracks that
were followed just for the fun of
getting out in the woods and
tramping around.
Twenty-three years ago, in 1926,
three years before this wild country
became State land, the Squire,
Calvin Branon, Gene May, Charles
Frantz and Raymond Smith decided
to take a hike up to Davis’ Stop-
over cabin. They intended to spend
the weekend there just chewing
the fat, looking around and hav-
ing a good time as men are apt to
do, but which would bore women
to death. It was early spring, with
leaves partly out and a beautiful
fine sunny morning. The car trip
to Dinstels was uneventful even
over the rough road that has since
been improved by the CCC boys
and the WPA. There wasnt a hap-
pier quintet in the State of Penn-
sylvania that morning as they
stepped from the car and started
their five-mile hike to the cabin.
Deer bounded away almost at their
feet, fresh bear tracks were fol-
lowed, thirty different bird species
were noted, rabbits scooted through
the brush and porcupines lumbered
across their path, All was well with
the world. The sun was shining. It
was_ spring.
“When we get to the cabin,”
said the Squire, “We'll get the old
wood stove going and cook some
grub, I'm getting hungry, and we
better get going, I just felt a. drop
of rain.”
“Oh! that's not rain,” retorted
Ray Smith, “It's the dew falling
off the young leaves.”
“No, it's rain allright,” advised
Cal Branon, “Let’s get on our way,
it's a good thing we're only a mile
from the cabin.”
But it was too late, the rain came
down in torrents. In a few minutes
the cloud burst soaked the men
through. Their pants were clinging
to their legs. Their underclothing
was as wet as though they had just
emerged from the lake fully
dressed, but they plodded on think-
ing of that fire and getting dry.
At last they reached the cabin
and the Squire unlocked the door
and they all pushed in to—now,
just a minute, we are getting a little
ahead of our story.
It seems that the Squire, the
autumn before turned the key in
the lock and left the cabin in ship-
shape, but in the interval, some
porcupines got hungry. These pesky
critters had discovered that the
rubberized covering on the roof of
the cdbin was a delicacy that they
couldn't resist. They had climbed
up on a woodpile back of .the cab- |
in, and onto the roof and ate the

Local “Isaac Waltons” are dis-

the same that should be shared
with you—
Out Fishin’
A feller isn’t thinkin’ mean,
Out Fishin’
His thoughts are mostly good and
clean
Out Fishin’ oy
He does not knock his fellow men,
Or harbor any grudges then.
A feller’'s at his finest when
Out Fishin’
A feller’s glad to be a friend,
Out Fishin’
The brotherhood of rod and line
An’ sky and stream is always fine
Men come real close to God's de-
sign,
Out Fishin’
A feller isn’t plotting schemes
Out Fishin’
He's only busy with his dreams,
Out Fishin’
His livery is a coat of tan,
His creed to do the best he can,
A feller's always mostly man,
Out Fishin’

The winter snows had piled on
the roof and warped the boards.
The spring rains came and swished
through the place. Mud gathered on
the floor.
The five men entered, they
couldn’t have been any wetter.
They tried to start a fire, but the
damp wood smoked them out in
the rain again. At 2 o'clock in the
morning the storm stopped, and
the men managed to get some dry
wood from under the cabin and re-
kindle a fire, only to find that the
stove refused to draw because of
the damp treatment it had received

“Listen,” growled Gene May, “Do
you call this stove and the dish
