Our con- veyance consisted of a two and three-quarter wagon with springs for the catnp equipage, and a two- horse covered carriage for the fam- ily. We had abundance of food, bedding. and ‘fishing tackle, for all of which we had abundant use. Our route was by way of South Boulder, Ferguson, Norris, Ennis, Madison’valley and Henry's Lake, returning the sameway. AtSum- mit yalley we laid in a good sup- ply of oats for the - horses, paying $1.25 per ewt. for the same. © The farmers were just commencing to harvest their wheat crop there, which is very promising. It is refreshing to witness the great changes that havetaken place, and the many evidences of thrift in that locality. We spent part of a day fishing at Indian creek, and most ofthe forenoon of the next at our cainp just above Bear creek had royal sport landing many fine spec- imens of grayling, whitefish, and a few trout. We spent one night on Targee creek just above Hen- ry’s lake, which is in Idaho. The ascent of the mountain is so grad- ual that it is hard to tell. when the divide is crossed. We entered the park about three o'clock on Sunday afternoon. At Riverside there is a government station where we have to register our names, togethef with the num- ber of vehicles and animals, and get our firearms sealed or leave them until we return. To take them on requires a stop at every station to have them examined. We found the roads in fine con | |dition, and with one exception (at Sorth Borlder, where we tried to get hay or pasture and failed to get either) the feed was good and our horses improved all the time. After we enter the park the road is graded and kept in the best of condition—just like a turnpike all the way. 2 At the Lower basin almost the first thing we saw was a huge bear just back of the Fountain hotel. A little farther on, just to the left of the road, we looked into the huge cauldron of boiling mud called The Paint Pots, and were favored by wetting to see the Fountain geyser, which throws a a large body of clear water from ten to forty or fifty feet high and makes a beautiful display. The crater of Excelsior geyser at Mid- way basin looks as frightful as it did 29 years ago and the Prismatic lake nearby has lost none of its bewitching beauty sirtce that time. We stopped an hour to explore the beauties of Biscuit basin, and were as hungry after we returned as when we set out; We camped just east of the Fire Hole river, near Old Faithful geyser, and spent about two days in this re- gion of wonders. We saw the Old Faithful, Castle, Giantess, Daisy, Sawmill, Grotto, Riverside, Mortar, Oblong, and other geys- ers in action, alsd the Lone Star, which four miles from the main basin and a half or threé-fourths of a mile from the main road, to the right and. where there is an excellentcamping ground. From the Upper basin, which is on Fire Hole (it is really the Mad- ison river) the wagon road crosses the main divide of the Rockies twice, taking in a view of the Sho- shone lake, to what is called the Thumb, at the western extremity of Yellowsténe lake. Here we camped, looked at a cluster of hot springs paint pots and fished on the famous ‘“‘fish cone,” which is a crater of stony geyserite. forma- tion built up around a hot spring that comes up right in the lake, near the shore. It is a great place to fish, and I did my best to catch mee for it. Send it to Friends — ee a trout hero*but frited; though my, ———— boy Marvin was fortunate enough to-land a fine one, but the women folks vould not be induced to cook it, being scared-out by the stories they heard concerning the contents of the finny tribe in these regions. About six miles further: déwn the lake shore we stopped for noon and had excellent sport, landing 18 fine, large, salmon trout. We had two delightful camps on the shore of this charming body of water, and longed to take a ride on the steamer over its placid sur- face, but could not do so. On our way northwand we visit- ed the Mud geyser, Also’“Sulphur mountain, where the large spring that boils up at its western base-ie slightly more turbulent than when I was there before. We spent half a day feasting our eyes upon the beauties of the falls and Grand canyon of the Yel- lowstone, and I longed fora week to spend there. As from Lookout point in the Grand canyon I sur- veyed with my eye the route by which four of us once descended to the water’s edge, I could but}: shudder as 1 beteld the chasm where I came-near losing my life. Still, I could not resist the tempta- tion to join a-party going out to the Red Butte, from which we gained a splendid view of the ¢reat cataract. From the falls we went to Nor- ris basin, where we saw the prin- cipal springs and goysers and camped in Elk park. As the weather was cool and somewhat threatening, and learning that the road was rough, and that there was no feed on the Bozeman ‘route, we gave up our trip to Mammoth springs and returned by way of Gibbon river to Riverside, visiting some interesting paint pots and springs and viewing the Gibbon river falls by the way. Wesaw .several.bearand a few deer which were all quite tame,anda good many wild geese and other waterfowl. The bear are getting to be a great nuisance to campers, and will have to be disposed of. One of the pesky creatures robbed a camp belonging to some packers near us one night. Next morning while the men were gone to the store to get more stuff, bruin came back, tore down the tent, ripped open the flour sack, turned every- thing upside down, ate everything that was eatable and withdrew. One climbed into our wagon one night, and started away with a box of crackers, but as it was rather bunglesome luggage, and he did not have time to devour the Cons tents on the spot, he kindly dropped it and did not come back again. While there have been great changes in the park in the way of roads, hotels and other conven- iences, and a very few of the smaller geysers have lost some of their power, yet, upon the whole, the natural wonders of this great wonderland remain as they were thirty years ago, and for a general description of which I can do no better than refer the reader to my little book “‘Rambles in Wonder- land,”’ the price of which is only one dollar a copy. I am glad that we liye in a coun- try that contains such a variety of wonderful objects so near together and that we have a government that takes such an interest in open- ing excellent roads and keeping and protecting and making them easy of access to all the people, rich and poor alike. To every one who can possibly make the trip it is time and money well spent. Peo- ple are coming from all parts of the world by train. loads, and the roads are lined with parties on horseback or in wagons and car- riages from all points of the com- pass in our own: country who de- sire to enjoy the delights of the grandest summer resort-in the world. We were out from has nine- teen days, nine of which were spent in the park, and returned bome;in improved health and full of plans for another trip next year. While en route we met Mr. Christen ind family 6f Parrot, who appeared | to be having a delightful time, and expected to mect our neighbors, them on the way. Hoping that each of your readers who have not already. visited. the park may at sometime have the pleasure of a trip to this enchanted land, I von- clude this hasty. and imperfect sketch. E. J. Sranuey, Local Correspondence BOULDER. August 26.—The ladies of the Catholic church gave a lawn fete Thursday evening at the Catholic parsonage.

What's the Matter With Jofferson Co? The Montana Daily Record of Aug 26th gave out. tho following which will interest all the miners and timber man of this county: J. R. Wharton, manager of the street railroad to the Columbia Gardens has. just returned from « trip into the mountains southeast of Butte and he brings reports which are surprising to those who hear them. He tells of a strip of country containing 20,000: acres ofheavily timbered and mineral land, within six miles of Butte as the crow flies, which has been practically overlooked all of these years. The timber: is very thick and good for-lumber,-ties and cordwood, There are mineral prospects be- ing developed by men who have not seen a Butte man or received n bit of mail for two. and three months, and they can hear, the whistles of? this city. The men number about 100 and they have been kecping very quict regarding the importance of the locations they have made andof the vastness of the timber preserves, Mr. Wharton will present the matter in full to the county com- missoners and the Business Men’s association and urge them to take | action looking to the construction of a wagon road into the new Eldorado. The strip is in Jefferson county just, over the summit of the con- tinental divide east of Butte, - It is accessible by trails and crude wagon roads hy way of Home-| stake, a distance of about thirty | lia brought the highest price this be- | miles, The timber has never been touched, and for some years wood has’ been hauled to Butte from distances ranging from twenty- five to forty miles by wagon road. A road can be built to the new land for about 85,000 and would be less than twenty miles over winding mountain passes and grades, all of which would, it is estimated, involve an expenditure of about $5,000. The country is all mineral and thus not subject to location under the _ tim- ber act. It would be necessary to take it up under the mineral act, and it is believed by those who are io there that the mineral in a belt continuous of the Butte belt, There is much talk in town to- night about the new Eldorado, Been by Starlight. *We heard a bell, and curious to} know for what purpose a bell was ringing at that hour of the night stepped out.

St. Augustine In his “Com fessions” relates how he ouce suffered from “dolor dentium” (toothache), ap: parently In an aggravated form, for he could not speak. Thereupon he wrote on wax a prayer to God for the other brethren to repeat, and as soon as all were on their knees the pain went. ‘“But what a- pain!” he saya, “Nover since my tender age bad | ex- perleticed the like” Southey in his “Lite of John Wesley” tells.of that eminent preacher that when his own tooth ached left him, Unfortunately ordinary men do not seem to -bave such eiticacious faith.

GOUGH’S QUICK WIT, A Retort That Silenced an Laterraps tion Ia the Audience, An effort of one of John B. Gough's tours of the west was to arouse. his converts to.a political movement in fa- vor of prohibition, and In several states the politicians began to give considera: tlon to the cry.
