After 'much searching and re- searching on the part of the five members of the party, a tree which was just right was found and felled. Thence the story begins---all ,five, .who .are all plenty husky lads, bent to the task of moving the tree some 200 yards through two ,and three-foot snow banks. Unh! No soap! Try as they would, they couldn't budge the tree an inch. After trying some twenty or thirty minutes the boys decided o ,get smart, cut ~ive feet off the trunk. Fine!
