Last week, being called to the
county seat for the purpose Of in
dieting a malicious criminal libeler
which was as easily done as
catching suckers in the Mississippi
river-the BULLETIN editor and wife
took occasion to visit the flourish
ing town of Glenn's Ferry. about 30
miles east Of Mt. Home, on the Short
Line railway. To cay that we were
greeted very cordially by the good
people Of that town would be put
ting it mild indeed-it was a royal
reception, and one that viii not
soon be effaced from our memory.
In company with Judge Golden of
this place we were escorted to the
fine, new residence of w. nj. Stock
ton and the hospitality Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Stockton and Mrs. Sargent
seemed unbounded.
Meeting our old friend James
Mullany, who, by the way, is -four
ishing and content with his future
home, he kindly plotted the noun
taineers to the Y. NJ. G. A. reading
and bath rooms, under the super
vision Of Mr.. Cook, an intelligent
and agreeable gentleman; to the
railroad shops, and other points Of
interest, which will receive due no
tice later on.
But the grand feature of our visit
TO the Ferry was the kindnesses
showcred upon our party by Mrs.
Ryan, proprietor of the railroad
eating house, whose fame for fur
nishing superlative meals extends
from Portland to Chicago. By
invitation from Mrs. Ryan, Mr.
Mullany and wife, Judge Golden
and the BULLETIN representatives
partook of dinner that could not
be excelled anywhere both for va
riety and excellence. Pretty young
female walters skipped to and fro
like fairies, anticipating every want
of guests, while Mrs. Ryan person.
ally supervised all matters pertain
ing to the establishment which she
is managing SO successfully. Each
day she receives fresh butter, eggs,
poultry, beef and other meats by
rail from her extensive ranch near
Cokeville, and consequently never
runs short Of such supplies. The
dining-room is large and elegantly
| furnished, and the lunch-room,
which is kept open all night, pre-
SCENTS neat and inviting appear
ance. Mrs. Ryan is now adding
a number Of nice rooms to the main
building for the accommodation Of
dodgers, and early in the spring, if
not before, she will erect large
three-story hotel Immediately ad-
joining her present premises. She
is an energetic business woman and
a deservedly popular lady at home
and abroad.
Since our last visit to the Ferry
several substantial new buildings
have been erected-notably Stock
tons opera house, store and dwell
house, Mrs. Ryan's railroad house
Catholic church, Y. NJ. C. A. hall
besides numerous smaller strnc'
lures which we can not this week
enumerate.
With its vast agricultural and
grazing lands, also adapted for fruit
raising, with the immense and rich
gold-yielding bars and islands OF
Snake river in close proximity, it;
now secured trade Of Atlanta, Rocky
Bar, Pine Grove and Camp Wood
row, with that Of Bruneau valley a
no distant dav, and last though no
least, with the friendship and aid o
the railroad company. Glenn's Ferr,
is destined TO be within a shor
space of time a city of no small
magnitude.
The BULLETIN man is under oh
legations to Messrs. Mullany, May
SHREDDER, Glenn, Stockton, Melli
and others for courtesies EXTENDED
during his visit.
