NOTES OF THE ASSOCIATION.
The tour through Wonderland was de-
lightful one and greatly enjoyed by the
excursionists.
All that was seen of Montana was prais-
ed and devout, wish expressed for slice
of our mountains to enliven the plains
scenery of Dakota.
The passenger department of the North
ern Pacific came in for mention in highly
complimentary terms, and Charley Fee
was declared their ideal of transporta-
tiOn agent.
Carriage drives in and about the city
were the order Of the day. Eenela was
the livest town struck on the tour and no
one failed to make q note OF it.
There were liberal sprinkling of
preachers among the excursiOnists, and
they all discOursed from Helena pulpits
Sunday evening. eaE ,.-,
The women insisted upon going to
church, and the men-well, they were
nelped 10 make up their minds to attend
with them.
The granger aspects Of the excursion
were represented by twenty odd farmers,
proxy and otherwise.
The 'masher" of the gang is w. Z.
Winslow. When he sits down on lady's
hat it looks as if it had passed through
Dakota blizzard.
The company rallied upon the palace
cars after the hour of church service and
later in the evening resumed their journey
west and south. The excursion takes in
Butte, where the Association will spend to-
day. From Silver Bow the party travel
south to Salt Lake, thence to Denver and
Omaha, and from the latter point
across country to Minnesota and home.
