Miss Justlna S. SIggins Writes Enter
tainingly of Yellowstone Park.
Temkscal, Riverside Co., Cal.,1
August 10th, 1005. J
My Dear Mr. Wenk: I bad not for
gotten that you asked me to write a letter
about my trip, but it is only now when I
have reached the real end of my Journey
that I have had the opportunity; and now
I do not know whether to tell you about
the Yellowstone Park trip, my visit In
Chebalis, (he Fair, my week on an Ore
gon farm, my delightful trip south
through California and very pleasant so
journ with Mrs. Craig at Ocean Park, or
to tell you of my piesent stopping place,
a southern California bee-ranch. How
ever, I think It would be best to go back
to my first love, the National Park, and
tax my feeble powers trying to tell of its
wonders. But I must say for the rest of
my journey, that it has been a continual
delight; and as for Information, why,
I'm simply a walking euolyclopirdia!
What I don't know about fruit raising In
the Yakima Valley, hop and flax raising
in Washington, timber in Oregon, oranges
and honey in California, is hardly worth
mentioning. I cau't thtuk of any ques
tions I baveu't asked; tbe point Is, bave
I remembered all the answers ?
The Yellowstone National Park, "tbe
moat wonderful place In the world" bow
can auyone presume to describe it? I do
not dream of doing that, but if what I
may write of it shall Induce any of my
readei a to go there, then I have succeeded
In a measure. I cannot think of a more
delightful experience for anyone; and as
for myself, when I had finished the 145
miles of coaching, my one desire was to
Ktart around tbe circleagain, which speaks
well for tbe comfort of the "improved
Concord" coaches, and tbe fine roads.
However, I must say that we found most
favorable weather; sometimes the weather
Is, well, something like Forest county
weather, variable. Our special car brought
us to Gardiner, tbe park entrance; there
were twenty-eight of us, two members of
our party having been lft outside tbe
walls of this Infernal paradise. At the
railroad station we mounted the six-horse
coaches which carried us the five miles to
Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel; this drive
is a very good preparation for the pleas
ures to come. As we drive under the
arch which marks tbe entrauce to the
park and read the Inscription on it, "For
tbe benefit and enjoyment of the people,"
we dedlcatod ourselves to a week of pleas
ure and profit,, and not one of us was
disappointed.
We arrived at tbe Hot Springs Hotel
just before lunch, so we bad an afternoon
and evening to explore the "formation."
It is here one sees the beautitul terraces,
snowy white except where they are paint
ed in exquisite tints by the strong mineral
water which trickles over, here and there
forming pools of lovely color. We ex
plored the Devil's Kitchen, a very warm
and stuffy one it Is too, saw the natural
warm lake and tbreo happy bathers in it,
and then back to the hotel by one of tbe
terraces. In tbe evening we were specta
tors at a little dance at the canteen of Ft,
Yellowstone.
Tbe next morning at eight o'clock the
first coach dashed up to the platform; the
names of its passengers were shouted out
through a megaphone, and tbe scramble
for places began. No delay is permitted
and the train of coaches for that day were
soon on tbe road, and the real tour of tbe
park began. Tho first sight is a fine view
of Jupiter Terrace, towering at the right;
next we were filled with wonder at the
strange Koodoos, where rocks of a ghastly
whiteness are heaped tumultously over
the mountain's side; then the beautiful
Golden Gate is passed where we enter a
little canon. Beyond this we passed Swan
Lake; I shall never forget tho wind which
blew from the snowy peaks and swept
over that flat, freezing ones very bones.
It was then one was glad of such winter
clothing as one bad on, and regretted any
that was left at borne. At noon we were
at Norris Lunch Station; a very good
meal fortified us somewhat for the terrible
sights of this thinnest part of the earth's
crust. We walked over burning sands
aud steaming pools to reach the first
geysers; those of Norris Basin are uot
large, but very fierce, and of great variety.
It is this constant variety that fills the
tourist with wonder; no two geysers are
alfke; each one builda up a formation
peculiar to Itself, spouts in a way of Its
own, and when it pleases, some with
great regularity, others the opposite.
When we had made tbe tour of the Basin,
onr coaches picked us up on the road and
we were off fir Fountain Hotel, where we
spent tbe night after our drive of forty
five miles. This Is called the Lower
Geyser Basin; here are geysers galore,
the most famous being Giant and Little
Fountain gejsers. The latter is very
amiable, giving frequent exhibitions.
The Paint Pots, where the powers below
stir up whlto and pink kalsomlne in
great cauldrons, are strange enough. The
Fountain Hotel walls are finished with
this natural product.
The next day's drive Is only ten miles;
we stopped on our way to visit Excelsior
Geyser, which used to be tbe largest of
all till in a mad frenzy It blew itself to
pieces; now It Is a great boiling pool that
overflows Into the Firehole River. On
our way to Old Faithful Inn we drove by
the popular Morning Glory pool, and the
Punch Bowl, Alighting from tbe coach
es we walked to Sunset Lako and Emer
ald Pool. These pools are all exceeding
ly beautiful; it is bard to tell bow they
come to be so gor;oously colored, and
why one is blue, one groon and others of
many colors. It seems as if the Creator
mado the park for a wonder-place, it is
all so iuliuitoly strange and beautiful,
Tho Upper Geyser Basin where Old
Faithful dolights tho eager tourist, aud
where Its oaiuosake, that most excellent
inn Is located, is one of tbe most interest
ing parts of the trip; indeed It is only ri
valled by tho Grand Canon of the Yol
lowstone. The famous Old Faithful gey
sey is very lieaiilil'iil; it plays every sixty-live
minutes, and it is a dull sightseer
who fails to see its lovely pillar ol water
and ateam which rises to a height of one
hundred and fifty feet; during my stay
there I saw it many times, by emmet,
soarch-light, and sunrise; each time it
seemed more lovely. All park visitors
are supposed to go into ecstacieB over
Old Faithful Inn and I should be very
remiss not to do likewise. It is a flno
hostelry built of unhewn logs from thn
park forests; it Is rustic throughout, and
running over lull of hospitality and com
fort. One fuels while there, as if u a
visit, it has so little of the commercial
spirit of a hotel; aud one goes away re
luctantly, as if leaving a good friend. All
the park hotels are well managed, and
their good meals and comfortable bods
are most refreshing to tbe traveller. To
many the altitude la somewhat stimulat
ing and one needs to be recuperated after
the undue exercise of the day. Tbe next
day's drive after the night at Old Faithful
Is thirty five miles, to the Lake Hotel;
we stopped at tbe Thumb Lunch Station
at noon; it is located on an arm of Yel
lowstone Lako and Is popularly known
as tbe place where one may catch a fish in
the lake and boil It In a hot spring with
out moving! During thia drive we
crossed the Continental Divide twice and
reached an altitude of 8325 feet. At tbe
Lake Hotel there is great fishing; but
the fish are so anxious to be caught that
to a real sportsman It Is small pleasure;
a a Swiss devotee of tbe rod remarked,
"That is not sport, it is mere boocbery."
The lake is beautiful and a boatride in
the evening is delightful. After a night
at the Lake Hotel we went to the Canon;
the road follows the Yellowstone River
most of the way and the aconery is
charming. It Is on this drive that one
Bees tbe horrible Mud Volcano, really tbe
most terrific thing In tho park, a thing
to haunt ones dreams. We reached the
Canon Hotel before lunch and so had the
afternoon to visit the sights of this finest
part of the park trip. It was here we had
our only bad weather, a rain and bail
storm with loud thunder: that was the
first day of July and I bave beard none
since. On account of the weather we de
cided to ride down the Canon instead of
walking the three miles as we were all
well able to do in spite of long drives and
the fatigues of the Journey. Just as we
reached Inspiration Point the storm
ceased and thougii there was still some
mist In the Canon, we were able to enjoy
that magnificent view to the utmost. The
beauty of it breaks upon one so suddenly
that tbe most reserved give vent to ex
cited expressions of their delight. Mag
nificent in proportions, glowing In gor
geous colors, beautiful in a thousand
ways, it cannot be described or pictured.
One Bbould plan to spend days there that
they may sit at leisure and watch the
green and sinuous river far below, tbe
lovely cataract forever changing, and the
eagles soaring about their pinnacle nests.
I started out very early the morning we
left to bave a farewell look at tbe beauti
ful falls; on the way back to tbe hotel, a
fawn, startled by our approach, rose up
in the path where it bad been spending
the night. It stood looking at us, not at
all frightened. One of the most charm
log things I saw in the park was a doe
and two dappled fawns standing among
the trees by tbe roadside. Tbe deer are
never terrified, and always stand and
watch the intruder before they make
their deliberate flight. Elk are very
plenty In the park, but are not so often
seen along the road; they stay In herds
and like best the broad flats where they
pasture. Tbe park bu Haloes are enclosed
in a range of tbeir own. Chipmunks
scamper along tbe road aud seem to take
an interest in tbe interested coacher. One
never tires of watching for these graceful
little creatures. The last day of the reg
ular park trip is spent going from the
Canon Hotel to Mammoth Hot Springs
and from there on to Gardiner, and the
tour of the National Park Is over. One
has to harden the heart to get away with
out shedding tears of regret.
I bave uientionod but few of the won
derful things to be seen; it would be Im
possible to name the thousand marvels of
that place. They are all about you; you
feel bewildered by them. And neither
can one describe the delights of coaching
Itself; cold, beat, dust, rain, bail, burned
noses, chapped lips, all are nothing
compared with the pleasures of the way.
With proper forethought most of these
minor discomforts can be done away
with; as for the roads, they are excellent,
and daily sprinkled; tbe coaches are very
comfortable, and everything is done to
make the trip one of ease and delight.
Just try It. Very Sincerely Yours,

Crushed to Death by Falling Tree.
Charles Thomas, son of Mr, and Mrs.
William W. Thomas of Tlonosta town
ship, met instant death In an accidental
way about 5 o'clock Saturday evening.
He was engaged as oue of a crew of men
who are cutting timber on the hill on east
aide of the river opposite Uunter station.
The hemlock trees on this tract, which
was originally a part of the E. E. Clapp
estate, bad been cut and peeled a year
ago, and tbe men were cutting the timber
luto saw-logs. Charles and his compan
ion, Ray Childs, bad sawed a tree partly
In two when the saw "pinched" and he
had taken bis axe and given the stick au
under-cut, which separatuj the two ends
and one end swayed agaiust a leaning
dead stub unnoticed for the moment by the
men. The end of this stub dropped with
great force, striking the young man on
the head, crushing his skull, and break
ing his neck and lower jaw. Assistance
was at once at hand, his brotner, Alvin
Thomas, and other workmen being pres-
ent.but a mere gasp was all the sign of life
that was shown. The body was conveyed
across the river and brought to the borne
of tbe parents, who had first been made
aware of the tragic death of their boy by
a messenger seut ahead.
Charles was aged 18 years, 6 months
and 27 days, and was tbe youngest of a
family of six sons. He was a very indus
trious and energetic young man, having
done a man's work when scarcely 1" yerrs
of age. He was the pet of his father,
whose companion in labor he almost con
stantly was, and the fond parents have
tho sympathy of the entire neighborhood
in their bereavement.
Funeral services, conducted by Rov.
W. O. Calhoun, were held in tho M. E.
church, Mo ml ay afternoon, and tho body
was laid to rest in Riverside cemetery,

Too much care cannot lie used with
small children during the hot weather of
the summer months to guard auuhiht
bowel troubles. As a rule it is only nec
essary to give the child a dose of castor
oil to correct any disorder of the bowels.
Do not u no an p substitute, but give the
old-fashioned castor oil, and seo that it Is
fresh, as rancid oil nauseates and lias a
tendency to gripe. If this does not check
the bowels wive Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and then
a dose of castor oil, and the diseaso may
be chocked in its tncipiency and all dan
ger avoided. Tho castor oil and this
remedy should be procured at once and
kept ready for Instant use as soon as the
first Indication of any bowel trouble ap
pears. This is the most successful treat
ment known and may be relied upon
with Implicit confidence even in cases of
cholera infantum. For sale by Dunn

You
Are
Probably Amazed
At the disclosures in the insurance world, frauds in the
Government service, etc. You would probably be an
much amazed if an expert were put to work on nine
tenths of the Clothing now being sold all over the coun
try. Cotton mixed fabrics are being sold for all wool ;
mercerized cotton is masquerading as silk, and shoddy
wool, often worse than cotton, is being mixed in with
good wool, linings are being cheapened, all because wool
and labor are high in price and manufacturers believe
vc people must be fooled into thinking they are getting
just as good a suit as they ever got at the old prices they
used to pay. We do not pose as relormeis or critics of
what other people do, but we do claim to have a little
horse sense in bmitme, and through thick and thin we
arc sticking to our old standard, which is : Absolutely all
wool and jood irool to begin with, then the best tailoring
possible and to top oil" with our old tried and true guar
antee of "your money back" if not satislied.
