race, two thousand feet above the hotel. is
small lake, Il hundred yards long by thirty
wide, where one may enjoy delicious bath.
The water in one end Of the lake is boil
ing hot in the other it is icy cold. Any de-
gree of temperature can be found in the space
between. Up OH these terraces amid the hiss
Ing steam, the boiling water which flows
downward in a thousand streams, the beauti-
full caves and magnificent formations of calcar-
eous matter, one is almost lost i'll beWilderment

stances be quite easy to imagine that one had
awakened in new world, We're it not for in
dications of the old familiar civilization which
meet you at every turn in the form of notices
printed on boards in great black letters: ''Do
not walk on the formations;' "Gather no
spccimens:' = "Write no names.' At the foot
of the springs not far from the hotel rises
shaft fifty feet high and twenty in diameter at
its baSe it is the cone of an extinct geySer. 1t
is composed of overlapping layers of sediment,
and was built up by the overtlowing waters
from its top. 1t is named Liberty Cap" A
hundred yards farther west is similar cone,
though smaller in size, which is known as the
Giants Thumb"
The deposits, which result from evaporation
at the margin of each basin, are exquisite in
form and color. The edges are fretted with
light, delicate froStwork, and the outside of
each bowl is adorned with honeycomb pat
tern, while the spaces between the curves are
often filled with glistcning staacttes. The
coating of the sides OF the basins takes on
every tint and shade; rich cream and salmon
coIors are preferred however. These deepen
into red, brown. green and yellow. The crust
between the springs is rather treacherous. and
it is impossible to walk among them without
soaking the shoes in hot water. Around the
hottest of the pool, in many eases there are
strung along the rim, like beautiful beads on Il
necklace, Il row of nodu!eS rs large hazel
nuts and as hard as adamant. In many places

THE LOCUST STREET TRACK.
The day succeeding the recent visit OF
the Northwestern officials to Yankton
the Press and Dakotaian stated that the
object of their visit was to look the
ground over with &, view to construct
, ing a track from the Northwestern round
house southwark along Locust street TO
the river and down the river front to
various shipping establishments there
located. There is nothing especially
new in the way of developments to
chronicle, though it may be approprl-
ately stated that the North
western officials had no other mo-
tive in making the call.
They are exceedingly DESTROYS of
procuring the Locust street connection
with the river front, their purpose be-
ing to outhank the Milwaukee line
which still maintains almost an aggres.
sive front at the pork house crossing.
The Northwestern company IS willing
to guarantee, in return for the Locust
street privilege to be asked for, to plank
the track inside and outside all the way
from the round house to the river. They
will further agree to u but one train
q day over the track and to move quiet.

use of the locomotive whistle in

that they are about to ask for consider.

For the present the crossing contest is
to rest and no application will be made
for the appointment Of a condemnation

thirty days.
GAYvILLE INDUCEMENTS.
In their rate war with the Northwest
ern company, the Milwaukee company
has developed an aggressive front
at Gayville, q small station
ten miles east of Yankton
and in q position to draw CUSTOM from
the Yankton, Clay md Turner county
territory OF the Northwestern. Encour-
agement is being given to shippers at
Gayville over Yankton e..a the dis
covery is made that it is possible for
Gayville buyers to pay two cents more
per bushel for corn than Yankton buyers
can pay. This has been rather quietly
worked, but such transactions come out
and the Northwestern Is appraised of the
situation. There will doubtless be re-
taliatory movements On the part of the
Northwestern which will cover a large
scope of territory, and cut rates oil along
the line are not an improbable result of
the conflict,
CALIFORNIA RATES.
Improved California rates are offered
at this station by the Milwaukee COM
