What q Visitor Says Of Livingston.
MANY of our readers will remember DR..
G. l.. Gates, of Winona, Mimi, who spent
some time in Livingston, and in company
with party of eastern friends visited the
Yellowstone Park. The Winona Repub-
lican of the 2Sth ult. contained long de-
scription of what he saw during the trip,
and is so very interesting that we only re-
gret that its length preclutles its reproduc-
ton in this issue of the ENTERPRISE. We
had known the doctors partiality for Liv-
ingston, and as evidence of his apprecia-
alton of the town, witness what he tells
the newspaper reporter after exhausting
the Park question: ''The new city of Liv-
ingston presents busy specticle. Build
ings are going up rapidly. among them a
seventeen-thousand-d school house
also churches by the Presbyterian, Metllo-
dist and Congregational denominations.
The machine shops and round houses OF
the Northern Pacific railroad, now being
built, are very large structures, indicating
that it is to be an amportant division tef
minus The round house is to have stalls
for twenty-five engines. Brick of most
excellent quality and lime in large guam
titles are manufactured in close proximity
to the town. The railroad company are
arranging for the shipment of lime from
Livingston to various points on ther line,
east and west. The work of "straighten-

settled upon and built up before the city
WIS plated, is going forward, and houses
are constantly ON the move to conform
to the new order of blocks and streets.
New gold placers within six miles Of Liv-
ingston, and others twelve miles distant,
Just discovered, are causing much excite
ment, and prospectors for all kinds of
mineral deposits are awaiting the subs d
ing OF the waters-as tie streams are
vollen by the melting SHOWS from the
mountains--to pursue their investigations
for gold, copper, iron and coal. Being
the only entrance to the National Park,
Livingston will be the base Of supplies Tor
the throngs of visitors that will congregate
there. during the summer months, while
its position, advantages and attractions
will make it the favorite winter resort for
the ranchmen and mining men of Mont;-
ma. Winona is represented there by II.
r. Ceperly, Willard Smith, w. W. Doty,
J. A. Mason and Elmer Chamberlain, who
are enthusiastic believers in the manifest
destiny of Livingston. The predominant
element Of the population is wide-awake,
thorough going, honorable class of busi-
ness men,f full of push and energy. The
rougher element that always infests rail-
road terminus on the frontier, are held
under complete subjection by this law
abiding class, and Livingston is more Or
derly than most of the towns on the from
tier. Every train brings more or less
people to the town, whom are charmed
by the picturesque location of the place.
Its high altitude makes it very desirable
place for people suffering from incipient
pulmonary troubles. Dr. Gates himself,
who has suffered from an irritation of the
lungs for over three years, says that his
six weeks stay there has nearly cured his

from mountain streams and pure springs
which abound with speckled trout.
