NO3 COOPER'S LAKE through a rugged canyon some three miles in length. The approach to the lake, though difficult, is grand As Described by a Late Visitor to the Gem of the Mountains—Its Beau- tie Graphically Portrayed. A Rare Picture for an Aesthetk Eye. Of the numerous lakes which abound in Montana, the most beau- tiful and romantic. is -Cooper's Lake, situated near the North Fork of the Big Blackfoot river. The marvelous depth and purity of its water alive with different species of fish, its grand and picturesque surroundings, 'justly entitles it as the \Sportsman's Utopia.\ The various reports con- cerning this lake with its submerged forest of pine, supposed to be petri- fied, determined the writer of this and a friend, to explore this little in- land sea. We accordingly possess- ed ourselves of one of those excel- lent portable folding Osgood boats, notable for- economy in weight and room—two desirable requisites in ap- proaching Cooper's Lake, as it is sit- uated in the depth of the mountains and is accessible only by a dim trail through fallen timber, and over.pre- cipitous mountains. However our approach was made comparatively easy, for we were fortunate enough to secure the services of that noted guide and trail hunter Win. Loyd, whose efforts in our behalf were in- dispensible. It is safe to presume that we launched the first boat on Cooper's Lake, and so compact and light was our Osgood, that our guide was ignorant of the fact that one of the packs contained a complete Wa'• ter craft, for on his return to the lake, to his bewildering look of inquiry we answered that the - \light shallop\ was borrowed from one of the beau- tiful water nymphs of which fables tell inhabits lakes of such purity and depth. The length of this lake is three and one-half miles and one mile in width. We sounded in sev- eral portious and found fhedepth to range from thirty to two hundred feet. We were fortunate enough to obtain specimens of timber from the bottom of the lake and were some- what disappointed - to find that the famous submerged forest was not petrified, but in a wonderful state of preservation. which establishes the fact that the water of Cooper's Lake is chemically pure, in fact so clear and limpid that at the depth of thirty- two -feet our small sounding lead was plainly visible. The bottom of this lake, unlike most others, is hard and covered with pebbits, and we noted a marked absence of that sediment- ary deposit so common in other lakes, The eurroundpgs of Cooper's Lake are in strict harmony and keeping with its own beautiful self, as shad- owed in its limpid depths is ever seen the two mighty: ranges of mountains which skirt either shore. One, bold and defiant with its craggy outline; the other, dark and somber with its dense growth of pine. Of a moon- light night the reflection of this lake is startlingly distinct, a submaiine sky with its star and, moonlight, seemingly lights up the scene from below, glenting the tops of the dark green s pine and craggy peaks, with silvery whiteness. There is something grand and min- e pressive in the loneliness of Cooper's Lake in the night time, its solitude invites to its border the wild deni- zens of the mountains ----the cat like step of the mountain lion with his mournful cry but intensifies the soli- tude as the wierd cadence dies away In the still night. At early dawn the lake is covered with a heavy mist, so dense that it is entirely opaque. This covering is about ten yards thick and very .uniform; it rests about twenty feet above the surface of the water. Underneath this sheet of fag the en- tire shore lin of the lake is visible, and as the sun peeps over the moun- tain tops the dense cloud begins to raise, resolving itself into strange, fantastic shapes for an instant, then to vanish, simultaneous with the ad- vent of the morning sun. The inhabitants of the lake began seeking their morning repast. There, is seen the turbulent freak of a three - pound speckled trout, as he secures some dainty morsel; there the long ripple of a school of white fish; here, not twenty yards away, the yellow sides of a fifteen -pound yellow sal- mon gleam in the morning sunlight like a golden treasure, and the break- fast has begun in earnest. The lake is one mass of breaks fro m shore to shore. ONE VERY SMALL ISLAND about ten yards in circumference, breaks the surface near the up- per boundary, but with that small exception the beautiful expanse in that locality is unbroken. This lake can become very angry at times, the writer having seen its mirror-like auface changed into a mass of angry billows, covered with white caps, and at such times the drearai silence of the place is broken .by the dashing of waves against its rocky shore, the .solio of which creeps mournful tones ss they play hide and seek amid the 'f:PS and gloomy canyons. yooper's Lake has two inlets and ..ee outlet, the latter a beautiful lit - Ile stream which seeks the valley • and inspiring; in an instant the lake becomes visible fifteen hundred feet just below, the rough outlines of its wild shores being softened by dis- tance. Its foliage subdued by au- tumn's golden tints, creates a pic- ture rare indeed—a picture penciled 1:ly that great Artist, whose perspec- tives are never too dim or whose shadings too deep. Far into the north and on either side in solemn majesty tower the grand old Rockies like silent sentinels guarding the portals of this fairy realm, the silence of which is unbroken save by the ceaseless harmony of the outlet of the lake just to our left. Like a sil- ver thread it gleamed far beneath us as it sped onward to its destiny, sing- ing its prelude ere it mingled its tones with the grander refrain. Therefore other lakes in Montana Larger, and easier of access than Cooper's, but none whose waters are so deep or pure. And in conclusion I would say to those seeking rest and recreation from the cares of trade and traffic, by all means procure a portable canvass boat and vimit this noted resort. J. A. 0. EDMUNDS -TUCKER BILL. The Conference Committee Adjusts All Differences--Mormoniere Doomed -Anti -Polygamy Bill Will Become a Law. WAsnileeTote, Feb. 11.—After a long session the conferees on Che anti -polygamy bill reached a corn-. plete agreement on the point of dif- ferences. Another meeting will be held to perfect the phraseology of the bill, which is expected to be re- ported to the Senate on Monday. The exact provisions of tne measure cannot as vet be obtained. It in- cludes, however, what is regarded by the conferees as the best features of the House and Senate bills. That section of the Senate bill which pro- vides for the appointment of a board of trustees to administer on the prop- erty of the Mormon church is omit- ted. The bill repeals the charter of the Mormon church, and instructs attorney -general to institute pro- ceedings for the recovery of all prop- erty of the corporation not acquired in accordance with the laws of the United States. The churches and grounds, church yards and property used for the purpose of worship are not interfered with. It also revokes the charter of the Mormon Immigra- tion society, and diverts the property of both corporations to school pur- poses. It leaves the election law substantially as at present, except that it vests in the President power to appoint a probate judge, subject to confirmation by the Senate. The provisions of the House bill author. 'zing the administration of an oath to a legal wife to sustain the charge of polygamy is included. The pro- vision of the House bill eliminating polygamists from the registration lists is also included, as agreed ft in the conference. Fire at Anemia . ANACONDA, Feb. 12.—A tire broke out this morning shortly after four o'clock in the rear of the saloon of Allen & McDonald, Main street. The cause of the fire is a complete mys- tery to all parties concerned as no one saw it until well under way. It destroyed six large frame buildings on the west side of Main street, be- ginning at the corner of Front street and moving south. The fire was stepped by the large brick building of D. Cohen, Sr. The totsl loss by fire is $31,000, and the total insur- ance $8,500. The Continental hotel, Chris Nisaler's saloon, Albertson & Moorehouse's saloon, Allen & Mc - Donald's saloon Murray's barber shop, Proulx & Niurray'e saloon, Cor- nelius & Brown's saloon, Tom Daly's saloon and Sparey'e restaurant are the buildings destroyed. The Raging Floods. Denton', Feb, 12.—The rising waters at Lyons shut out all commit- iiioation with the outside world by wire, -and the Evening Journal's cor- respondent sends the following spe- cial from Muir, on the opposite side of the river, that place being reach- ed by a circuitous route: \The flood continues. The water is rising a foot an hour. A great mass of ice reached here this morning forming a jam thirty feet deep above the bridge, causing the river to leave its bed, rushing with mighty force through the business portion of Lyons, sweep- ing everything before it. Twenty buildings were carried away and; as many more moved from their founda- tions. Several business fronts were also broken in by the ice and float- ing timber. A portion of the bridge was lifted from the abutments and went down with the ice. A Sneer Victory, WASHINGTON, February I2.—The House has agreed to the amendment to the Senate trade dollar bill pro- viding that the recoinasse of trade dollars, recoined under :He e. 7 , shall not be considered as s part of the silver bullion require, to be pur- chased and coined under. the provis sions of the Bland law. As amended the bill was passe 1. WASHINGTON LETTER. An Eccentric Chaplain -The Little \Red Leg\ Senator Holds His Own -TOXEIS Seed Bill -- Mrs. Cleveland KS the Leading Lady. - - Special Correspoudenc e of Sentinel. WAsHINGTON,Feb.12.--The chap- lain of the House of Representatives is nothing if not eccentric in morning prayers. Since Dr. Milburn's peti- tions occasioned criticism halt session he has been more conservative in his demands at the Throne of Grace, but a few days ago the reverend gentle- man surprised the House by praying for the wife of Secretary Whitney and the babe. This caused a certain Con- gressman whose infant daughter was the same age as the new \Cabinet bud\ to accuse the chaplain of \offen- sive partisanship\ because he had neglected his wife end baby. So next day the other baby was prayed for. Never before in the halls of Congress VMS the birth of any Amer- ican citizen the ?cession of official action. As both babies were girls the riew departure was jocularly men- tioned as a triumph for the cause of women, to offset the snubbing thee woman suffrage received in the Sen- ate last week. Senator Ingalls, of Kamm, is un- willing to treat the House with any more deference than that body shows the Senate, unlike the 'Tether of his country,\ who wee unwilling that a negro should be more polite than himself. When Senator Harris, of Tennessee, moved that at the conclu- sion, of morning business, each day, the Senate proceed to consider House bills, so that there should Ise a decent interchange of courtesy in the Atter. Senaeor Dawes suggested that it was out of order to discuss modes of business in the other house: - There- upon the Senator from Kansas hoped that the Senator from Massachusetts would possess his soule in patience. The idea that there was some divinity hedging about the House of Repre- sentatives, so that nobody could men- tion it without getting on his knees, was a superstition that ought to be abandoned. - When the Jail appropriating $10,- 000 for a special distribution of seed to the drought-strikeh counties of Texas was called up in the Senate, it W&8 advocated by Senator Coke of that State, while several Republican Senators raised constitutional ques- tions. Mr. Edmunds asked if the people of those counties could not buy seed tin credit, just as farmers of oth- er States did. Senator Hoar asked the Texas Senator to state the con- stitutional ground on which he sup- ported the bill', and time latter raised a laugh by saying \Not at this time.\ Mr. Hoar said he had hoped that if the Senate voted to furnish seed to Texas, Texas would furnish constitu- tional law to the Senate. Still he would vote for the bill with pleasure. Here Gen. Ilawley appealed to Mr. Coke not to press the bill, out of re- gard for the history of Texas—that great empire State, old and rich. He characterized the bill as \passing around the hat,\ and said if his little State of Connecticut came here beg- ging for $10,000 for garden seed and got it, he would resign. Mr. Coke repudiated the idea of this bill being a case of \passing the hat.\ Texas was not asking for charity. It was merely in line with bills in former Congresses, for relief of people in Ohio, Kansas, Alabama, and other States. Senator Ingalls admitted that there were many precedent e for the appro- priation, and sail if Texas could af- ford to take the mqpey, he could af- ford to vote for it. After Mr. Saulsbury, of Delaware, also admitted that there were plenty of precedents for it, but added that he never had voted for such bills and (so help him God) he never would, the seed for Texas carried the'Senate by two to one. The social world of Washington has been very brilliant for the past few weeks. Mrs. Cleveland has aban- doned her semi-weekly \at home\ however, because they wore regarded by many as public receptions. They were instituted for the friends and acquaintances of the lady of the White HOliftet., but the opportunity was greatly abused by crowds of peo- ple whose respectful- curiosity could be appeased at her fortnightly recep- tions to the public. But Mrs, Cleveland evidently in- tends to keep up with the people's procession. She says she never feels tired from shaking hands, either at the time or afterwards, no matter how great the number of guests she greets. She laughed ever a recent paragraph in a New York paper which reported bet as coMpletily exhausted a ft e, e. of her three-hour ordeals of ie. • se king. A friend who was rather sur- prised at her powers of ender:. remarked to Mrs. Cleweland :lee see had even equaled the great Isesie king feats ef her husband, as she had shaken hands with 327 people, by ac- j tual coent, ;n an hour. \Yes shel answer'-i. --ef course I could not al- 1. 1 49- \nt' low him te shoed of me.\ A.
