kota, and courses through score of flour
fishing towns and cities which it has
caused to spring up out of the wilderness.
1t affords views CT those remarkable
buttes, mounds and pillars, bright in col
or and strange in form, which are known
as the Bad Lands, or the Pyramid
Park of the Little Missouri.
1t passes through the rich valley
OF the Yellowstone for hundreds of miles
where mountain slopes are mantled with
grasses that feed great herds and focks,
and where cities just founded are develop
ing into Importance. And so for more
than thousand miles this railroad takes
the traveller through region possessing
not only the charm of variety to an extra
ordinary degrees. but showing many fea-
lures OF peculiar interest.
SENTINEL BUTTE,
The most M jestic of its fellows. GO
miles from St. ka4i on our outward Jour
ney, was sight OF prominence, and from
the rear of the obersaYation car we were
afforded sights and pictures not soon to be
forgotten. Here and there we saw the
villages of the prairie dog, with hundreds
of the sprightly creatures sitting at the
door of his cave ready to disappear at the
slightest alarm. Night overlook the tour
lists before reaching Glendive where it was
proposed to remain until daylight. but
being somewhat belated, short halt only
was there made, and before the gray of
morning came again Miles City, Fit. Keoeh.
Ignite and Horton had been passed. and
daylight found the tourists at Rosebud.
800 miles away, with the famed Yellowstone
river, with its swift running current in
full view. Speeding onward Howard.
Custer, Riverside, Pompey's Pillar,
all points of interest, were passed and
about noon the train pulled up for
STOP AT BILLINGS,
9l5 miles from our starting point. This is
an interesting town, and the foundation is
already laid for furnishing city. Al
though its existence began in June, 1882,
1t now has a population of 1900 people,
with good buildings, stores, shops, and all
the facilities for comfortable living. It is
the outlet for an extended region of ranch
ing country and its cattle yards or corrals
are the largest seen so far on the route.
Two daily papers are published here,
while eastern papers have a considerable
circulation, and the newsstand of Mr.. NAL
comb Is literally patronized. The objec-
tive point to be reached after leaving Bill
lings is Livingston, 1000 miles from st.
Paul. The run between these points was
made with smoothness and celebrity not
before noticeable en- route, aud the termi-
nal point was reached at 6 p. m 9,
Livingston time, which is one hour and
forty-hve minutes slower than st. Paul
time. For some miles before COM
ing to halt for the night at
Livingston the snow mountains had
been in sight to the delight of the enrap-
tured party, who hourly grew more en-
tnusiastic and enchanted. Here at the
gateway of the Wonderland just beyond,
it is worth ones while to stop long enough
to learn something of the "Denver of the
Northwest" located at the geographical
center of the great route that brings the
Pacific shore within sight and hearing of
the Atlantic coast. While the excursionists
were gleefully enjoying the glories of
Livingston sunset, the GLOBE historian
gathered material for letter number three.
