High over the blue reaches of Washington's Elk Lake, the cool snow fields of 7,954-ft. Mount Olympus loomed white and tempting. After a couple of days of working the lake, a group of fishermen decided that a little mountaineering might be a fine diversion. British-born Biochem ist Anthony Levy, 30, who had joined the fishing party at the last moment, had done a little snow climbing; two of the other three had no experience at all. University of Washington Medical Student Richard Neal Jr., 24, made the trek in smooth-soled shoes. Even...

Another hunter, according to the association's files, rode out on the range in search of game, dismounted to reconnoiter, sighted an animal, shot it, rushed up, knife in hand, to slit...
...gold rush of '76. His three children have won innumerable ribbons in the Pilger Valley Gophers 4-H club, and the two oldest are noted locally for their musical talent. This year, nevertheless, his wife began urging that they move away from their half section on the Elk Mountains' rim-life was hard, their three-room cabin was uncomfortable. Last week it looked as though the Kerchevals were licked; the cabin burned down. But on the next day a neighbor brought them temporary housing: two sheep wagons stocked with food and clothing and beds all neatly made...
