Herriman Saturday: April 13 1910

 

April 13 1910 -- The workmen who are on site building an observatory and monastery atop Mount Wilson are working under tough conditions, and when the group said they wanted a new cook, managers of the project listened and obeyed. They found a real pip of a hashslinger, but she supposedly weighs 350 pounds, and the standard way up the mountain, by burro, is just not gonna happen. But it turns out that the new cook is no prima donna, and she gets up there mostly under her own power, with a little help from workers pressed into service to help with the treacherous bits.
