Among these names will be recognized
those of men who stand in the front rank
of American journalists who have
crown gray and achieved high homo,
by welding the pen. Others are of the
army of young men who (rom their age
more than any other reason) affiliate most
readily and quickly with the hot bloodE
and anxious heads among whom we are
most frequently cast. But they are all
good men, at least they seem SO. While
possessing too much intelligence to ap-
pear like the ordinary young eastern man
they were still sufficiently ignorant OF
Montana to make the work of imparting a
fair idea of the country most interesting
to the talker, and we trust to the listener.
They had travelled from St. Paul por-
ton of the distance, by special train and
the remainder of the journey attached to
the regular express. They had viewed
all the principal towns and points of
interest along the route, and even when
we last saw them felt that they had had
sufficiency of wonderful scenery.
G, K. Barnes general passenger and
ticket agent for the Northern Pacific, was
in especial charge of the party, and ac-
cording to the reports of the editors, they
had received every courtesy at the hands
of Mr.. Barnes.
This excursion of the Associated Press
was arranged entirely under the auspices
of the Northern Pacific. Not only was
transportation provided but beverages ad
ibitum and even blankets, rubber coats
and fishing rods were placed at the dis
posal of those who wished to avail them
selves of such appliances. Mr.. Barnes
efforts were untiring to make the trip as
pleasant as possible for his editorial guests,
and he IS still putting forth his most dill
gent exertions in arranging for their con-
duct through the Park.
r. B. Hair, general travelling agent for
the Chicago & Northwestern railroad, was
also of the party and doing what he could
to assist in contributing toward the flow
Of pleasant feeling. Owing to immediate
demands upon his time he will not be
able to accompany the party through the
Park, but will return to Livingston to-day
and pass on eastward. Oscar Vanderbilt,
(the name is suggestive of railways) gen.
eral transportation agent of the Northern
Pacific, with Offices at Chicago, was also
Of the party.
The dining car was in charge of E. W.
Westlake, brother of the dining car
superintendent, E. J. Wes}lake, and one
of the Cost agreeable and withal, capable
young men git has been our fortune to
meet. The members of the excursion
party united in praising his con-
duct Of the dining car and the
bill of fare which had been
placed before them at every meal. The
programme for the excursion is arranged
as follows. Last evening they were at
Mammoth Hot Springs; this morning
(Monday) they will travel twenty-one
to the Norris geyser basin, and take
dinner; in the afternoon they will journey
forward twenty four miles, and reach the
Upper Geyser basin. In this region of
wonder they will remain two nights and
one day, or until Wednesday morning,
when they will pass onward to Yellow
stone Lake and all its beauties. On
Thursday they will view Great Falls and
other features of interest and on Friday
inspect the Lower geysers. On Saturday
they will reach Mammoth Hot Spring on
their return trip, and on Sunda, shortly |
before noon, be again in Livingston. The |
special cars will go eastward attached to
he regular train leaving Livingston at |
, :25 on Sunday afternoon.
The members of the Associated Press
eel we'll pleased with their trip thus far
through the great northwest. One of
hem expressed his appreciation of the
way they had been treated by saying the
rip had been perfect ovation along the
entire line. Without an exception, so far
IS questioned by the representative of the
1NlEhthIoE, liIo ScHIetHcH vi ulc par
we're greatly interested in the scenery
hey had travelled through, particularly
n Montana. They were not viewing the
country merely from an artistic stand
,oint; IN the published accounts of
heir tIip will be found in every
Instance some practical account
f impressions made upon their individual
minds by the towns or rural districts
trough which they passed. A newspaper
nan is Ola highly practical turn Of mind
nd while he may he strongly impressed
y the beautiful in nature he is at the
anne time possessed Of keen eye for the
urely practical. "
