BoZeman. July 3l.-The trip up To the

and is well worth a short descrip ion for

At salesville. some Is miles from Boze-

and one can either leave the little village
to the right or pass through IL and cross
the river over the two handsome ircn
bridges. Salesville is a deserted village II

eral buildings of log construction as well
as frame dwellings. all in more or less
state OF decay. except the postoffice and
store. Near the bridge on the left is an
old sawmill, now long past its useful
stage. and its only use would seem 20 be
to make a pretty sketch for some wander
ing artist.
Across the two bridges the traveller does

further on. In the canyon the road runs
close by the banks of the roaring, rushing
stream which furnishes most of the water
forming the commencement of the great
Missouri.
Some four miles further on Spanish
creek is reached, and from here on for
several miles the roads are a little rocky.
but the scenery is grand. especially one
massive pile of rocks. where. seemingly,
are many castles, with turrets and spires
suspended high above the surface of the
river, where one can almost imagine a
mail-clad warrior keeping guard over the
stretches far and near for a distant view
of the enemy.
A few miles further on and Logger creek
is reached, where the hungry tourist can
find bed and board for his horse and self
after a 26-mile ride from Bozeman. From
Fletcher camp to the lower basin is some
u miles and the scenery is very fine and
wild, and such places as Storm Castle and
Robbers Roost are encountered, which
would require several pages of description
to do them justice.
The ride up the canyon and back Is
worth the trouble and the roads are good
all the way to the lower basin from Boze-
man, some 40 miles distant.

MR.. BABCOCK'S CASE
he May Decline to Serve on the District
Committee.
FectiOnaI Feeling Here and Its Eject
on Representatives in Con-
grcss.
M r

In business as we'll as in political circles
of Washington general attention Is at
tracted to the case of Chairman Babcock
of the House District committee, whom the
democratic campaign managers are attack
ing through his connection with District
legislation. The affair derives renewed IN
terest from a report gaining general clrcu-
lation and undoubtedly emanating from
Mr.. Babcock himself, that he may decline
to take the District chairmanship again II
he is reelected to Congress.
Every one who has followed the legisia-
ton of the last few years knows that un-
der Mr.. Babcocks chairmanship and by
reason of his influence with the majority
in Congress as one of the republican poiih-
cal leaders more LEGISLATION of importance
to the people of the District of Columbia
has been enacted than in twice the period
of time in former Congresses. That fact
is a matter of record and not of opinion.
For that reason the people of Washington,
who are Likely to have legislation before
Congress, are taking an interest in Mr..
BabcoCk's future.
One of Mr.. Babcock's friends, in Conver-
sation with Star reporter today pointed
cut the considerations upon which Mr..
BabcOCk would be justified IN declining to
serve again on the District committee, or,
for that matter any man of influence and
political prospects. He said that a man of
Mr.. BabcoCks : character could do a great
deal better for himself by serving on the
committees Of the House, where he could
not be aSsailed by every faction he was
unable to please. and where he could Sc
cure legislation of benefit to his own con-
sutuents. He said that the prospect of
having to meet the complaints of the dis
satisfied people of Washington in his con-
sressional district in every campaign would
be likely to deter a man of ability and am
httion from accepting a place on the Dis
rri. ,l,.t
mittee a Botany Bay for committee assign
ments.
1t was explained that these were the rea-
sons which were aCtuating Mr. Babcock, in
gret his connection with the District COM
mittee.

War Department Data.
The War Department win furnish the
commission large amount of data that
has come in through Investigations made
by different bureaus of the department
Ever since there We're complaints made in
vestigations have followed. The different
bureaus have many individual investiga-
t1ons, especially the surgeon generals
office.
General Sternberg, when a complaint was
made regarding his bureau, Immediately in
stttuted an inquiry through his subordi-
mates. He has many of these fapers on
file, and 1t has been determined to turn
them over to the commission. Evidence of
this character is likely to go q long way to
disprove many of the accounts of neglect
by the surgeons and lack Of care in the
various hospitals. The other bureaus of
the War Department have also made in
quirfes. and the papers in these cases will
be sent to the commission as part of the
data necessary for it in the investigation
