LIVINGSTON, Mont, Aug. 2.-The job
bers were well pleased with their visit to
the Mammoth hot springs and trip through
portion of Yellowstone park. Arriving
at the National hotel Saturday at p. M,
after seven long miles ride by stages over
rough country, the party heartily en-
jOyed the lunch set for them by Manager
Dyer of the hotel. The afternoon was spent
by some on ponies doing the park. Golden
Gate, one of the wonders visited by many, is
one of the grandest canyons in the park,
through which stream called 'Langtry
Wave" runs, which has fall
Of1O0 feet. Others went 10
see the celebrated geySers, twenty
miles from the hotel. Hundreds of hot
springs are on the mountain side in the
vicinity of the hotel, and were visited by all
the members of the party. There are strik-
ing features OF this remarkable region and
were alone sufficient to make the Jobbers
feel that the trip was worth being made.
The dinner at the hotel at p. IN. was
served in elegant style. Excellent music
was discoursed by the Great Western band,
which entertained the guests during the
evening. Baths in the not springs were
very popular during the night Although
the hotel is a mammoth one, owing 10 the
number of visitors the iObbers We're
crowded six or more into one room.
The air was so pure and cool that all enjoyed
the nights rest. Sunday was spent by the
majority of the party in explorations. At
o'clock this morning, the band under
Alaximillian Hester, drum major, paraded
| in front Of the hotel, while those of the
| jObbers who were not oil sightseeing pre-
NsaN HUrs Nhsl a nN-
assembled in the rOtunda of the hotel,
| played Sweet Spirit, Hear Ny Prayer, while
in the hall above, tine wOTshipers gathered.
! AT the conclusion of the music, Rev. NJ. n.
| Gilbert proceeded to read morning service,
after which he preached a short and able
discourse from the text, HE calleth His
| sheep by name and leadeth them.
An interview with Col. Weir, superin-
\ tendent of the park. drew from him many
/ interesting facts. He had been but a short
| time NJ his post. having only arrived the
last of June. He had begun to get things
in order, however, and was giving the work
his entire attention. Ills predecessors had
remained only through the summer at the
park, but he proposed to stay at his post of
duty the year round. More depreciation
was done winters than summers, particu-
larly in the killing OF buffalo,
elk and deer. Recently a party OF
biologists had shot a buffalo and
pleading guilty got off with small fine.
More stringent rules were necessary to pro-
tect the park from such vandals. Another
thing very much needed was further APP
preparation by congress. at the least $780,
600, the coming winter, for roads and
bridges, in order TO open up this wonderful
region TO the people who desire to visit it.
The colonel seems thoroughly alive to the
duties and responsibilities of his position.
The trip from Cinnabar to Livingston
this evening was enlivened by a stop Al
Chickering. At the station were three
young ladies who heard band for the frs
time. George K. Finch did the hOnoTS by
introducing the jobbers TO the fair ones
II was decided, therefore, 10 call the town
Finchville. Hon. Marcus johnson, founder
of the park, was the guest of the jObhers OF
their return trip. The Glee club is enter
tanning the party tonight with sacred
concert and Sunday night is passing
quietly
