But this being the slack season for tourist visitors to the monument, the elevator has been shut down for overhaul and repairs, and Lohinar has to walk. Fifty, nights up, each morning. Fifty flights down each evening, after the windows at the top have beeti closed and the final visitors have departed. Gives one cramp in the legs just to think about it, doesn't it?

And' his friend heeded It by taking him to his final resting place at Silvertbn, in a hearse drawn by two of the finest black horses that could be found. His' favorite silver-mounter whip was placed in Jils right hand, in his coffin. For nearly fifty years Barger drove stages in Oregon, Idaho, British Columbia, Arizona and the Y-osemite valley. For forty years he was a trusted employe of Wells Fargo leaving the firm when the march of progress removed horses for motorized equipment. He had charge of the company staules in Calnornia and was known' as' one of the best of reins-men whe.rever a stage coach rumbled over- the rugged northwest areas.

Barger, for years queen of the pioneer mothers, and who died six years ago in Portland at the age of 95. Barger traveled the northwest when Indians and road agents lay In wait to ambush stages carrying mail and bullion.

His last drive was out of Idaho when robbers held up his bullion-laden Vehicle as it rumbled along the route from the Idaho mines to Pendleton. Barger was literally driven indoors when the motor car supplanted the stage coach. For several years the veteran relnBman was niglitwatchman of the Oregon Journal, of Portland, his death being almost- coincidental with that of his friend, S. Jackson, owner and publisher of the Journal. Bar.

ger drove Jackson to Pendleton in 1879 and Jackson later became agent for- the' stage company for which Barger' drove. Barger his whip in hand and violin under his- arm was known' throughout the northwest irr the early days. He drove1 stage during the day and played for dances at the various stations at night. The Pendletbn' Round-Up -was an attraction which brought Barger to eastern Oregon every September: There her annually met his old friend 'of the stage coach oays, Dave The two spent hours in recounting the good old days brought back by the arena deeas at the roundup.
