Are Out In The Open In Reno
(Continued from Last Week)
Real Fishing
Tales of interesting happehings
and rituals at the park could fill
endless pages, but let it suffice
to mention that if you don’t mind
primitive living conditions, and
cold weather, you can have a
wonderful vacation there fishing,
horseback riding, and enjoying
many forms of nature at their
best. We were amazed at the
number of people fishing in the
ponds and streams all over the
park. One favorite spot is Fishing
Bridge, which is exactly what the
name implies. One evening we
‘were driving near there when we
observed a large number of people
walking from the bridge to their
cars with huge strings of beauti-
ful fish. Stopping hurriedly, we
dashed down to see this spot where
fishing was so good that people
could stand shoulder to shoulder
on both sides of the bridge and
catch that many fish. We must
have stood around watching for
about (fifteen minutes, and not a
single person caught a thing. Leav-
ing with solemn, intent fishermen
to their hushed joys, we walked
back to our car quietly wondering
where there was a fish market
around there. :
Horseback riding beckons many
into the deep recesses of the
canyon, ‘or the shadowy depths of
the forest. After watching the
peculiar saddle gait of one dude
who foolishly took an all-day trip,
we were glad we had resisted the
temptation.
The night before we left Yellow-
stone, we attended one of the daily
programs presented by the cottage
help for the pleasure of the tourist.
It ‘was a variety show this night,
one of the most popular features
being a state-calling contest in
which you tried to yell the name
of your state louder than the next
fellow yelled the name of his. I
On To Salt Lake City
Leaving lovely Yellowstone, we
journeyed once more into the
warmer regions of the country and
into Salt Lake City. This was one
of the warmest places so far. What
fun we had floating and rocking
in the great Salt Lake. In a 28%
salt solution, you never need fear
drowming, so even a non-swimmer
has nothing to worry about but
keeping the water out of his eyes
or mouth. It was mest delightful.
People from all over the country
came down to stare in disbelief,
and go away praising the place.
Bingham Canyon, outside of Salt
Lake City offers the tourist an
inside view into copper mining.
Bingham Open-Face Copper Mine
is the largest of its kind in the
world. The visitor can stamd im
one place, and see the entire oper-
ation. We went at 3 P.M. for
~ THE POST, FRIDAY, AUGUST 11, 1950
Then it was hauled thirty miles
by oxen, and hand chipped and
carved.
The Tabernacle is a dome-shaped
building so acoustically perfect
that you can hear a man whisper,
brush his coat sleeve, or drop a
pin 250 yards away. That's diffi-
cult to believe, but we saw it.
We returned in the evening to
hear an organ recital. People sat
there motionless, thrilled with the
variety of tones, and volume
brought out so beautifully by the
organist as he played some old
songs, some new. It really topped
the program off when he softly
went into our old favorite, “When
You Come To The End of a Per-
fect Day”, for our day in Salt Lake
City—as well as every other day
on our trip—had been perfect.
Reno or Bust
The trip from Salt Lake City to
Reno made us forget how cool it
had been in Yellowstone. Our
thermos jug was most welcome.
Reno calls itself the Biggest Little
City in _the World and if they
reckom size by the amount of
money spent that may be almost
true. As soon as you enter Nevada,

Swanson Says Steel
Roof Adds Safety
In connection with two recent
barn blazes, Fred Swanson, chief
of the Daniel C. Roberts Fire Com-
pany at Harveys Lake as well as
chief of police, states that properly
grounded lightning rods or a steel
roof grounded by a woven copper
cable, are of value in deflecting
lightning and grounding it where
it will do no damage. He explains
that there are two kinds of bolt,
a hot bolt which will set afire
anything through which it passes,
and a cold belt which will ex-
