s~tudebaker Wagon.

The favor with which the Studebaker
wagon is received in this section of the
country is a marked evidence of the
superiority of the material used and
the general make up of the wagon.
No kind of a wheeled vehicle would be
accepted as a gift in this dry climate
unless it would stand the most severe
test. The Studebaker will do this.
Hence the popularity of that make in
Wyoming and all other dry climates, |
They manufactured all kinds of
wheeled vehicles such as farm, freight.
express and spring wagons, together
with the finest light top and open bug
gies, and also carriages of every de-
scription. Studebaker Bros. guarantee
their work to prove as represented, and,
as a conclusive evidence of the popu-
larity of this mandatory, one should
consult old freighters who have used
this wagon for years, with the very
best satisfaction. For full particulars
see their advertisement in another col
umn.

.wonders Of the Yellowstone

A few evenings since Gen. John
Gibbon delivered his celebrated lecture,
.sThe Wonders of the Yellowstone Re
gion," in the Maryland Institute at
Baltimore. The papers Of that city
speak in the highest terms of the gen.
erals efforts.
1.-The interest of the lecture vas
largely enhanced by stereopticon views
of the scenery of the Yellowstone val
ley, c%aHons, mammoth hot springs,
eruptive geysers, and the falls of the
Yellowstone. The lecturer said that
nine years ago the region of which he
spoke was as unknown as the interior
of Africa. Its marvellous geysers, $50
feet high, its frozen cascades as they
looked to be, or solid white stone as
they actually are those places where you
can catch a trout in cold water, drop it
into a pool of hot water. cook and eat
it without moving from one spot-these
wonders were unseen by the eye of
white men, or even Indians, until u few
years past. The Yellowstone river, the
Jefferson, Madison and Gallatin forks,
and branches Of the Missouri river,
were explored seventy years ago, by
Lewis and Clarke, but the wonders of
scenery of the great national park of
$500 square miles were a sealed book
until recently. The s~tereopticon pre-
sented many strange and beautiful
views from the valley of the Yellow
stone from 200 yards to one mile and a
half wide and four miles long. The
white stone cascades were formed from
the sediment deposited by the water,
and the process goes on under the eye
of the traveller, though he can scarcely
distinguish the water from the stone.
The pools are rainbow hued, with
flowers of every pattern and color, that
flash their loveliness from its clear
depths. The colors seem more vivid,
and the forms Of beauty more varied
and numberless in that region than
anywhere else.
