The daily enterprise. [volume] (Livingston, Mont.) 1883-1884, 1883-11-21

citizen of Cooke writes that two rsscals
were sent below last week, and hopes they
will remain below until Cooke can find
time to erect free lodgings for their special
benefit.
Great Bath lake has been vastly i'm
proved by the removal Of the dead trees
and snags that greatly disfgured and rem
dered it unsafe tor bathing. G. T. Hobart
is entitled to credit for this improvement.
Thousands Of people have enjoyed the
most luxuriant hot baths in this lake that
this continent or the world affords, free Of
charge. During the bathing season ladies
cannot visit this lake without first sending
some gentleman Of their party in advance
to see that there are no masculine bathers
already in possession.
One of the most phenomenal things in
connection with the White Elephant is
the large quantity of hotwater that is con-
Quoted through its two trunks for three
quarters of mile. Occasionally there is
an opening on the top where the hot
water is seen threading its way slowly
through this natural hydrant until it finally
sinks into an abyss known as the Man,
moth cave. Occasionally stunted cedar
may be seen growing out of the tissure
and maintaining dwarfed and feeble ex-
istence, in spite of the hot water in which
its roots find moisture.
The DAILY ENTERPRISE visits Nam
moth Hot Springs but once a week now.
ave must have daily mail again. is
what everybody says. Even Old Liberty
Cap is lonesome, and the face that looks
northward has hungry look. The old
lady is disgusted at the idea Of being fed
on stale news week old. This morning
her hood is white and there is deathlike
pallor about her mouth and eyes that be-
tokens some secret sorrow. It may be a
winter chill, but we are inclined to think
it is news-hunger, and her anxiety about
Ben Buffers election. The poor house and
the tannery she intends to leave to Ben,
but her hide she hopes to carry with her
to her grave.
Captain o. Swanson, with his indomita-
BILE Swedes are blasting rock and trees,
tossing the mountains into the valley and
making highway into Wonderland that
will snrpass the famous Appian way. The
old Roman roads were constructed to fa-
cilitate the movement of the troops and
military supplies. Our Park roads are
constructed to felicitate the movements of
the citizens of great commonwealth and
out of the common wealth's pocket. En-
gineer Kingman is satisfied that Captain
Swanson, with small squad Of twenty
men, a few mule teams, plows, scrapers,
and the aid of giant powder, has in two
short months done the work of $50 men
working in the ordinary way with pick
and shovel. It is admitted by all who
have been over the new road that the Park
appropriation is being more judiciously
and economically expended than ever be-
fore. Kingman has purchased
one of the Buckeye Engine company's
portable sawmills, with 3O-horse power
engine, and 58-inch saw, to be used for
saving plank for bridges and lumber for
the construction of camps. E. Lamartine
is in charge Of the mill and camp and re-
ports his entire satisfaction with his outfit.
He says the mill sis a daisy" and runs
through log as quietly as sharp knife
slices Dutch cheese. There will be no
more corduroy bridges built in the Park.
The new bridges will be eighteen feet wide
md covered with 8-inch plank. 1t is to
,e hoped that congress will increase the
appropriation for the construction of roads !
within the Park, and that the war depart
nent will keep Engineer Kingman at the
lead of this most important position. His
fficiency viii be much greater another
ear. He now knows where the work is
most needed and on whom he can rely to
xecutc his plans.
