Gap. Some of the party left the tram
at Rapid City to make trip to the tin
districts. Arriving at Buffalo Gap
supper was found in waiting, after
partaking Of which the carriages and
coaches were loaded down and the six
teen mile drive made to Hot Springs,
where we arrived about ten o'clock and
found the committee in readiness to
receive and assign all to a hayen of
rest. Monday was passed in resting,
driving, walking and visiting the
springs. The great attraction was the
plunge bath, which, like everything
else in this famous resort, had been
thrown "wide open" for the editorial
party, and to say that they took it in
for all it was worth, but mildly ex-
presses the facts in the case.
Hot Springs is rapidly becoming one
OF the great watering places and pleas
ure resorts of the country. With its
numerous magnetic springs, the cura-
tive properties CT which have already
been established, and its magnificent
scenery and excellent hotels the throng
OF visitors are never ready to leave this
enchanting spot. The soldiers home
was rightly located when it was decid-
ed to place it where the old veterans
could have access to these healing
waters. Every member of the editor
ial party left here with regret, and
with the firm conviction that they had
found the place where they would like
to spend their summer vacations. The
Elkhorn road from Buffalo Gap will be
completed this reason, and next season
will see rush that will cause the hotel
keepers to hustle themselves to care for
all.
Tuesday afternoon we had a delight
full ride to Buffalo Gap, where we took
the train for Chadron, at which place
we renamed over night. From this
point special train was provided, and
leaving at an early hour, we passed
through the sand hills of western Ne
braska and arrived at Long Pine for
dinner. At Atkinson the press of the
city and the band were at the depot to
greet the passing party. Passing
through the well-settled and productive
portion of northern Nebraska, the train
arrived at Norfolk at about five o'clock.
After brief halt they pulled out for
Sioux City over the c., st. Z. & Mimi.
road, which place was reached about
nine o'clock.
At Wayne the Sioux City committee
boarded the train, and all were assigned
to quarters as guests of the "Only Corn
Palace City Of the World" and when
the train stopped we had only to follow
our leaders and were soon ready for
supper and rest.
Thursday morning the party were
astir early, and were taken over the
electric motor line to view the packing
houses and stock yards, over the grip
line to view the residence portion of
city, and out to Riverside Park, where
they were entertained in the genuine
SIOUX City style.
This ended the trip of the South Da-
kota Press association for theyear 1890,
and that evening and the following
morning the members left for their re-
spective homes, to often live over in
memory the pleasant times they had
passed in the two weeks of their "out-
