Tourist Travel.

General Passenger Agent Fee, of
the Northern Pacific, says that
though the delay in opening the
Mammoth Hot Springs, and the
news that has gone forth of lack of
accommodation in the Park, has
somewhat deferred tourist travel to
that region, he yet expects very large
travel during the season. His efforts
to advertise the Park have met with
signal success. Folty to fifty letters
making inquiries about The Park are
daily received at his office, and
travelling passenger agents of the
road with headquarters in eastern
CITIES report 6 still larger proportion
of inquiries. The proper season
is not yet opened for Park
travel. and during following
months he looks for a very large
tourist travel, not only to the park,
but to the Pacific coast. About July
10Th a party will start from Chicago
oound for Portland. 1t will probably
number $50 persons, and will travel
by special train. The National Edu-
cational Association, which meets at
Madison, Wis.,, in July, is arranging
for an excursion over the road to the
number of $50. Other Northern Pa
cific excursion parties are III course
of formation and every indication
points to a great volume of that kind
of travel during the season. The
Park will catch a large proportion of
it.-Livingston Enterprise, Dist.

Major Maginnis' O:atOry.

The Philadelphia Press Of recent date, con-
talns a report of the memorial observance of
Decoration Day held at Gettysburg. AT least
1909 people were present. The orator OF the
day was Hon. Martin Maginnis, of Montana,
who was all officer in the war army, and who
was a participant in the battle of Gettysburg.
His address is described as having been most
eloquent ana Interesting. One extract will
sh.w its charac ter. He said: "The sun OF vic
tory locke. on the same day on the defeat Of
Lee and the fall of Nicksburs, and east and
west the clouds of doubt and disaster were
pierced by its refulgent rays: that day began the
decline of the Con'ederacy, and with drums
beating we marched away over those
blue mountains and lett our dead to
the care of our country that remembered them.
Let this lovely scene bear witness. She gath
cred her fallen heroes into the silent ranks to
remain forever the eternal guardians of these
heights. A wise man came from the east to
dedicute these grounds, and with him came
Lincoln. The eloquence of the orator and sage
is forgotten. hut the simple, thrilling words
which the President spoke from the impending
shadow of his martyrdom will be quoted as
long as the English language is spoken or as fu-
ture civilization can resurrect the WrltIen
classics of its dead and unsPoken tongue Inc

4 Fireplace of Frozen Snow That
Does Not Me 1t by the Heat.

A snow hut seen by Lieutenant
Ray during his expedition at Point
Barrow, an account OF which he
gave the NeWs recently, contained a
novel thing, deserted as follows
The snow hut is built, which is really
used as a sleeping apartment, and q
few feet therefrom, but connected by
a snow tunnel, is a smaller room,
which is used as a living room and
kitchen. In this latter room is con
strncted a fireplace of blocks of
snow, about the size Of the common
CRATE, and here the cooking is done
during the hunting season. Prepos'
ferrous az this may seem, the lieuten-
ant states that it is nevertheless true.
The fire is built in this snow fire.
place. and after being heated the
first time there is 10 melting of
snow. Even the first fire built there
in only serves to melt the snow
blocks into a solid mass; then they
freeze. and forever after are as im-
peryjous to heat as friedrich. The
iuel used in cooking in this snow
CRATE is the dwarf willow found un>
der the tundra, on Meade river, be-
ing saturated with seal oil, and
when ignited makes a bright, hot fire
similar to the pitchpine of the North
west. Captain Herendeen could
hardly believe Lieutenant Rays first
report, and made a special trip to
Male river TO witncss this truly as
o nshing phenomenon. After re-
t.r ling To the point the captain be-
came convinced that there was snow
which woald not yield to heat at GER
tain 10 v temperatures. Ray says
when tuese tirep'aces have been USED
for a short time, and while a hot,
blazing fire j. burning, these snow
CRATES present one of The most pleas
ing sights he ever witnessed. The
hard, glossy ice II effects like marble,
ard further in the crate the changea~
BILE hues are as varied and pleasing to
the eyes as the color of the rainbow.
But when the temperature rises as
high as twenty, then the fire will
quickly melt the snow CRATE, and the
snow house is II 70 longer habitable,
for it becomes damp and oppressive.
[ believe no other Arctic traveller has
ever witnessed this scene and Ray
will not say that be has yet solved the
perplexing question. Indianapolis

The Sun was started as a tri-weekly on the
18th of May. We have struggled four weeks
against a tide of adverse circumstances and o
gracefully CONF down to a weekly issue, to be in
harmony with the times and the majority of the
people in the slow growth of this section. Had
the mines been developed as rapidly as all
were led to believe they would be, trade and
travel would be brisk, but the work has been
backward and the country is pretty nearly at a
standstill. In a few weeks the situation may be
different, as the mines are now being opened
with more vigor than many are aware OF, and it

without delay. We look forward to better times
soon. If they do not come this entire section
may fold the imaginary tent and steal away.

Served Them Right.

Last week in Colorado a man and
his wife were lynched. The woman
was strung up to the ridge pole of
house, and the man was hanged
to tree. At first glance this
lynching of a man and his wife
seems a most horrible and revolt
ing circumstance, but, when the
reader learns that thejustice meeted
out to them so swiftly was for the
cruel and wanton murder of ten
year old child, one cannot help
feeling that lynching was to mild a
punishment for such brutal fiends.
The chlld--a little girl adopted
from an Orphans Home-died sud
denly, and was buried. The neigh
bors. knowing how the child had
been treated, dug up the body. No
wonder the sight of that girls
body reused the spectators to their
work. The chi'd's teader flesh
was covered with knife wounds,
and one leg was broken,
but, these injuries had not caused
its death. Il had been turned out
in the night to freeze to death, and
the body bore every evidence OF
having been frozen before death
ensued. Inside the house this
pair of wretcbes had listened to the
means of the dying child as they
plotted how they would cover up
the crime. Had they been tried,
there would have been hundred
technicalities in the way OF convlc'
ton. The precious good charac-
ter Of the couple would have been
proven beyond question, and
after a delay of three or four years
they would have been acquitted.
The lynchers, however, did their
work then and there, and did it
we'll. The wretches who maltreat
children deserve the rope, and the
Colorado brutes deserved thous-
and hangings.

OyerGid the Thing.

Mr.. Lernhart, the druggist, is
a Superior chemist, and is con-
stantly making experiments IN the
art. It has been the dream of his
life to take away all the terrors
OF medicine and recently he has
been able to produce a castor oil
which not only bears no resemblance
whatever to the article in question,
but is positively a palatable and
delightful compound. 1t looks
like cream syrup, and has pleas
ing wintergreen flavor, which is
bound to make it popular. The
other day gentleman in this city
got q bottle. and the servant girl
was so pleased with it that she con-
cluded the label on the bottle was
wrong. and so used it for pudding
sauce. There was quite an array
of guests for dinner, and all with
one accord praised the pudding
sauce, which was new in the line
of sauces, and keenly relished by
everybody. When the girl told
her mistress where she had found
the sauce, the lady of the house
was much alarmed and dismissed
the guests early in the evening.
While the oil thus prepared loses
all of its disagreeable taste, it parts
with none of its medicinal prop
tiles, and the price per bottle Is
only 25 cents.
