That night we camped on the short1 of Yellow stone l.ake, oh beautiful camping grounds. I Ins hike is tne source oi the Yellowstone river. The water is char and cold except wher'6 some boiling spring heats it and discolors its waters. The strangest thing is, that seemingly its tide rises and falls at staled intervals, like the ocean. Rut scientists at tribute it to the geysers in and around 11. b has a groat depth in a few places. The bottom has never berqy* foui*J. hut most of the gpund fbgsffire m^Ji five to fifty fntfioms. ‘T'hetc are ^several •islands, the larg est being Stevenson." But Oh! the fishing here, and also in the river below the lake. Our sportsmen got immense quantities of salmon trout. The only mailer of consideration be ing bait, so we women caught grass hoppers and w.e bad till tjie lovely fish we wanted for two days. The Lake Hotel is situated on the southern shore of Yellowstone Lake and is one of the finest in tlie park, as well as being centrally located,so if one wished to stay for some time they < ould make trips out and come back to the hotel. The main road follows the river from this point on to Yellow Stone Canyon, a place of wonders almost beyond des cription. All this day we were in sight of the snow-clad peaks of the Teton a and the ‘‘Sleeping Giant", so called from its resemblance to a man's faee. "It is found by look ing across a mountain range to the distance peaks of Saddle mpun IM ns. t'n this ^rlve we also saw tlie Mud Geysers and the Roaring Mountain. \lso the Sulphur Moun Jutn... Tip iv arc many hot springs of sulphur and of mud which are feul smelling, foul smelling tilings, j*ot wonderful. The largest Mud gey i-orjlms a crater thirty f«--»( in hidgfit, at the base of a cliff and keeps in motion m the time,which at Intervals of five to seven minutes it throws mud several feet in heighth. Down in a canyon a few rods from this is an opening in the side of a cliff shaped like a huge dog's head or something worst', about four feet in diameter. "‘It is ealIt'd The lloodo.” There is a terrific, roaring noise, and dirty boiling water cooks to the t ry sur face ami occasionally escapes from the mouth-like opening and then recedes only to he repeated In two j or three minutes again.

We went front here to Norris Ba sin over tin- Mt. Washburn route; a new road and a very beautiful one, but from Norris Basin back to Gardi ner on ttie rortd we cattle in on. But we were very glad as there were some beautiful sights which we were glad to see once more. Oh! how we hated to leave this wonderland yet ! we were glad too, to get back to civilization again and continue our journey. We had a Imply supper at the Home Hotel in Gardiner, and at 8:30 started back to Livingston and stayed over night. __-____ j Legal Notice. in tlie Richardson County District Court, State*!'
