In 1973 the *Idaho State Journal* sent campers past Pauline and Arbon to Twin Springs on the Hudspeth Cutoff; other papers recall a 1969 trail marker and an 1857 camp in Bannock Valley.
Married at Arbon in 1913, in the earliest wedding yet found in the valley, Jack and Stella Price marked sixty years in 1973; the papers follow their West Fork years and a daughter's early death.
