PllBPARINQ FOR THE TRIP.
The llrst iIdc down the now rebuilt
flume from st rt to finish was ma'e a few
ia3 ! ago Many persons had passed over
different parts of the distance as the flume
was being built , but none made the w'holo
distance without stopping The bet waa
made the evening before at the reservoir
on Stophens-n creek , the easto n terminus
of the Ilumo , and everything was prrpareu
for nn early start and ample provision was
made for all emergencies , even to taking
along a shotgun and rllle , the former for
' .tiling quail and birds the latter for bear
01 an } la"ge game that m glit bo seen , for
the flume , during moro than thirty mllea
of Its couiso , passes thr ugn a wild region
if mountains , hills and forests abounding
In game from the smallest bird to the
l.reost animal
After a cold night was passed on the
; iank of the reservoir , with a pile of shav
ings for a bed and an overcoat or two for
: dankcts the1 start was nmle The moun
tains In that high alt.tude were frosty , the
ground frozen haul i-nd the Ice nearly
thick enough to bear a man's weight Po.
some tlmo the weather had IK on cloud ) ,
but on this paitlcular moinlng the sky wan
clear and beautiful and the tops of the
giant pines weie touched with the gold or
the rising sun almost befoio ono on the
ground know that day had come
The guns traps and e qu'iago were placed
In the boat and when all things WCTO ready
the beat was lifted Into the Hume and was
hc'ld until the twa paecengers could get
aboird. TVio sides of the llunio were covered
with lee , caused by the cold night and the
n.'ashlng ' water Scarcely had the boat
touched the current before its edges al o
v\oro sllrpory with ice That was no matter ,
and 4n a second or so the boat , with Its
passengers , was sweeping down the tiough
of vvatei , and trees were n > lonlng papt so
rapidly that the ) seemed almost like the
spokes of a swift wheel
A SPBCUV CRAFT.
The passenger does not realize Just how
fie- gets into the boat nor how ho makes the
start It IB all over before ho has tlmo to
think He has an ungjvenwblo deslro to
clutch at things , but before he. can do ho ni
ls gone , and the speed makes him catch his
breath , and that Is all he can do , The start
has been made and It ml&.it bo a ruco to the
finish If one should atterriH to stop when
the speed Is bo great It would result In some
thing serious Kven If ho should see a broken
place ahead of him , where the flume Las gone
over a precipice , he would not atop , but must
run Into It and take the consequences. Such
a mishap Is not likely but it Is possible
There are i > lacca here and there where Hie
flmr.e ixisses over moro nearly level and the
current Is oorrispondlngl ) slow , and a person
can spring out and let the boat go , or he
mIMit. wh.cn safely o.it4 run along the { oot
plank , and , by holding the beat , bring that
to a step also Hut In the stcepcwt places a
man could not run fast enough to keep up

sight u vlblon not pleasant to contemplate.
The fluino passes between two walls of
rock and then out along the face of a solid
locK , forming the bide of Stcphenson
mountain If ono can look down while
bpcediiifj across this giddy height ho will
see beneath him the canyon of the creek ,
deep Jown In the shadows of morning , ill
most dark with the deplhs. The boat seems
In bo flying through space. It is enl } a mo
ment tlli the giddy place Is passed and the
beat dints Into a mass of gloomy pints
glowing against the side of the mountain
The place Just behind was ono of the
moat perlloui In the flume In building the
structure the workmen could not And foot-
Ins * , and wcro let down by ropes fiom the
blink of the cliff above , and thiib they buns
vvhllo with hammer and drill they cut
holes ki the solid rock , and made anchor
ages in which to hang the Ilumo Now
It icsts there perhaps sjlld enough and
pidbably safe enough , but ono has btiango
feelings as ho alts Ihero In a narrow boat
and makes the voagt in mid-air like a
bird , not knowing when ono of the cleats
will snap and let Iho whole structure plunge
into Iho depths beneath.
A rOHKST OP ICICLnS ,
On that morning there were many and
largo Icicles hanging under the flume They
could bo been while the boat passed round
curves , thus bringing perhaps half a mile
of the flume In view Tor bovernl das the
weather had been cold , and as tlio flume
leaks all along , largo Icicles are the rebult
Some of them weighed not less than ono
hundred pounds each , and they covered all
the timbers benealh Iho box oflen giving
Iho btructuro a fantastic appearance
Sometimes the Ice was piled up from the
ground to the flume twenty or thirty fecit ,
In columns and arthes , having the appearance -
anco of marble of Intense whiteness If
the water is permitted to tlow all winter In
the flume , Ihcro might bo danger that the
Ice would accumulate till the weight on
sonio of the high trestles would bo suffi
cient to drag the entire structure down
After a four-mile run the boat suddenly
emerges from a forest of pines and fir , and
the passengers la the bout experience Hie

vsorld seems to drop away from under him ,
The Ilumo runu out over a hlgli , trestle , and
at first glance nothing Is visible undcr-
m-ath Tliero seems to bo nothing but unfathomable -
fathomable space. This Is near the turn
around the point ot Ste-phenson mountain ,
and the vast abyss beneath , which seemed
bottomless , Is the canyon of the San

HIDING INTO SUMMHIl
The r Eb < tger ] cannot look twice at the

Into the timber , then comes curve aftei
CUTVO arourd a rocky mountiln , and after a
llttlo while the eaiion , w'.ilch lad Aceined
ea nearly bottomless , 1ms been lcft behind
The Hint twelve miles of the journey bilng
the traveler to the western faro of I'ino
Itldge , the list drift of mow dlMippeuib and
the stately groves of sugir glno and arbor
vltao begin to give place t tangled thickets
of manzBcilta and ctuiarral , and the btaivul
and Btunlixl digger pines and gnarled Jack
oaks take tlio place of the Umamclw v , hlcli
grow about the rebelvolr at the starting
place Cllmato succeeds cllmato ab the boat
ruahCH from ridge to ridge
Passing around tlio mountain at the hc.il
of Dry creek the voagei sees Kresno City
fort-flvo miles dlsUcit , with the morning
bun kindling on the metal roofs and glancing
from the domeof ( he court house , so fu
away that It seems only a bpeck of light
The sun b } thib time has also ilsen above
the ridges and Its warmth falls gratefully
upon the chilled and benumbed passenger ! ) in
the llttlo boat
Although the roughest parts of the moun
tains are left bt-hlnd after the head of Dry
crook Is i cached , tlio Ilumo has still some
of Its steepest grades below thit point
The decline U not uniform , \arylng from
a hardly perceptible grade to as much ns
ono foot In height Down the sleepesl places
the boat rushes at a speed which approachea
very nearly the limit of safety Within flvo
or six miles farther the flume sweeps around
the brink of a high , bold granite illlf , and
two miles away and 2000 feet below the llt
tlo village of Toll House bursts Into view
Orion fields surround It even In winter , but
It has a fornaken appcaianco , for Its ilajs
of prosperity are numbered It was for
thlity } ears a dtopplng plnco for tcamsten >
hauling lumber from the mountains , but
the flume will bring lumber down hereafter ,
and the teams will never return.
When Iho flume has passed Toll House It
has entered the foot hills , and the excite
ment is over. The way Icadb for twent }
miles ifown a natrow valley , and the pas
sengers In the boat have nothing to alarm
them , as they glide along eo smoothly und
peacefully that If they ohut their ets They
would probably fall asleep Tlio speed grows
lees as the plains are approached , and novv
and then vlnc > ardb or an orange orchard
