SALT LAKE, June 11.-Fortune favore'
those who left Deer Lodge for Salt Lake oil
Saturday morning last with delightful
weather and safe arrival here at noon Sun
day. If ever
THE DEER LODGE VALLEY
looked beautiful it did that morning; it wa
radiant. The rains had given extra brillianc.
to the verdure, and as the vapors lying alonl
the range from Mount Powell south were IL
lumined by the morning sun phenomenon
as beautiful as rare was witnessed by those
on the train. The sunshine brought out
midway down the mountains, over great
areas, not rainbow, but all the colors of the
rainbow on the banks of clouds. And as the
train sped swiftly south the grand cloud
scene apparently moved with it, now ap
preaching and again receding as we passed
the ca1OnS or their projecting warders, until
! il eliminated at the head of the valley in a
brilliant segment of the Arch of Promise and
the train shot into Silver Bow canon. For
the run of the passenger trains now on the
| Utah and Northern is entitled to that eX-
| preston. The average running time between
| Deer Lodge and Ogden is now nearly twenty
miles an hour, and where n good piece OF
road is struck the train shoots along at n
rafting speed.
A MIsNOMEE.
But speaking of Silver Bow canon, / was
told not long since that that was missioner,
and that If we are to adhere to ancient NOM
enclature, which appears to be legal and legit-
innate, it should be called the "Little Deer
Lodge" canon. According to my informant
the Silver Bow creek ends opposite Butte,
where Blacktail puts in; from thence to
where German g1lch puts in it is the Little
Deer Lodge, and thereafter it becomes the
Deer Lodge. confess that although having
some pretensions to being IAN old timer"
never heard of ''the Little Deer Lodge" I'M
til a month ago and the statement made may
be new to others also. VIII not Judge C. +.
Irvine kindly arbitrate the question, and
state the names of the stream at the points
mentioned.
FAIR FARE.
We had heard in Deer Lodge that the eat
ing stations on the U. & n. were not we'll
kept, and provided ourselves accordingly;
but it is only due to those providers for our
daily inner wants to say that there has been
an overhauling of the lower stations and
people have been put in the hotels where
meals are now served who understand their
business and give travellers good satisfaction.
The eating stations are now Melrose, Spring
Hill, and Blackfoot.
CHANGE OF RAILROAD TINE.
At Pocatello, which, by the way, is going
to be an important point hereafter, we meet
Blickensderfer few min
utes. He is rejoicing in the fact of regular
passenger trains being put on the o. s. l.. be-
tween Granger and Pocatello about July LIST,
and in the early completion OF a large hotel
and railroad offices at the latter place, which
is headquarters for the road-which is now
operated with passenger trains from Poca-
tello to HALEY. The new time card for the
change which is to take place July LIST on the
Union Pacific, shortening up the passenger
time between Ogden and Omaha about ten
or eleven hours, is in the hands of the print
ers. The time cards on the .. S. L. and the
U. &. n. will be adjusted to it and ten or
twelve more hours will be saved by sending
eastern mails and passengers overt the o. S. L.
instead of by Ogden. So we will get eastern
mails day earlier, but just what the hours
of arrival and departure would be from Deer
Lodge and Butte could not be ascerttined.
THE MoDJESKA COMPANY.
AT Ogden the Deer Lodge party had the
good fortune to see the famous
Modieska and troupe, now making fare |
well tour, in their famous one act comedy of !
Waiting for the Train" | differ with the |
San Francisco critics, who conceding Mod |
ieskas abilities, SAID she was poorly support |
ed. In one of the strongest scenes of the |
piece her support was excellent. She was |
sound asleep in low-backed chair, leaning |
against Beardsly's hotel. Even the most crit |
cal or cynical of observers could find no fault |
with the performance and pronounced it true |
TO nature. AS it is the duty of a newspaper |
man TO mention everything new Of import |
ance, give you this item-it is the first time |
in my whole life / ever saw a Countess |
asleep.
SALT LAKE CITY
Is in its beauty now and is having an era of |
business prosperity. Real estate has had n |
very decided advance since last fall-proper- |
ty in many instances approaching from % to |
70 per cent in the past six months. OF ma |
terial interests / may have something more |
10 say hereafter. We came down for enjoy |
nent this trip and are having it. At home !
we left strawberries and cherries in bloom,
here they are ripe. There the lilacs are eau
tiously budding; here they have bloomed and |
faded. There the paonies are peeping from |
The ground and the roses are yet guiltless Of
buds here the roses and rose trees are glori- |
Gus masses Of bloom, honeysuckles deck the |
arbors and trellisses with their coral beauty, |
delicate vines are covering window and |
porch, and every home seems half hidden |
with flowers and foliage. At "Rosebrook |
Cottage" we saw to-day, out doors, Japan
naples, hawthorn, holly, linden and orange |
trees, side by side, as thrifty, vigorous and |
beautiful as they could possibly grow any
where. The climate here is admirable for |
Horticulture and arboriculture. Everything |
that the temperate zone will produce seems
TO thrive, except respect for the Government |
and the moral law.
This is merely written to inform you that |
we still live and "hope these few lines may |
find you enjoying the same great blessing, |
etc." Within the next few days 1 trust that |
