We arrived at Dixie station about
noon where we spread our lunch in
Mr.. Anderson's pasture and we all en-.
joyed the meal very much. There we
stayed until four o'clock when we con-
tinued our journey and arrived at
Johnson's Ranch, on Boise river, about
eleven o'clock Saturday night. Next
morning we moved our camp across
the river upon a bench which we call
ed pine Ridge" 1t is beautiful
camping ground where it is all shaded
with large pine and fir trees with a
large cold spring on the south side of
the camp where the ice-cold water,
clear as crystal, comes right out of the
mountain, and on the north side is a
boiling hot spring which bubbles right
out OF the mountain side and on the
west side is Boise river, and on the
east side is high mountain complete
ly covered with all kinds of vegetation.
Monday morning we resumed our
journey to Rocky Bar to spend the
Fourth. We arrived there about 8 80
and stopped at the Davis hotel, where
We were treated with the greatest cour-
tesy and hospitality by both Mr.. and
Mrs. Davis. The program for the day
consisted Of horse and foot racing in
the forenoon, and at noon we all went
to the hotel where we were served to
az excellent dinner. About 3 o'clock
in the afternoon we went TO the Pavil-
lion where we listened to the reading
OF the Declaration of Independence
and songs by the choir which was en-
joyed by all.
In the evening a grand ball was
given which We all attended and en-
joyed very much until about eleven
o'clock when we were invited to ice
cream, cake and lemonade at the ho-
tel by Mr.. Sullivan, which was appre-
ciated by each and every one. We
then returned to the dance and re-
NAMED until midnight when supper
was served at the Porter Hotel. We
then returned TO the hall and danced
until five o'clock.
At about 10 80 July we started for
our camp at "Pine Ridge" reaching
there little after noon.
The rest of the week we spent fish
ing and hunting until Saturday night
Grove, where We all enjoyed ourselves
very much.
Next day, which was Sunday, we
spent and had dinner at Mr.. CaseS's
and a better or more excellent dinner
each and every one said they never
sat down to. The day was one OF the
most enjoyable we spent while away.
Monday night we spent the evening
with the Misses. Holland at their
home at the Saw Mill. We were en-.
tertained by songs by Miss Abbie Hol-
land, who has very sweet and also
strong voice; and then we danced
until midnight, when an excellent
supper was spread, which was enjoyed
by all. About two o'clock a. m. we
started for home at pine Ridge"
reaching there little before daylight.
We spent several very pleasant even
ings at J. N. Johnson's.
Tuesday night Mrs. Melton invited
us there to dance, it being Miss Minnie
Melton's twelfth birthday. We danced
until midnight when we were treated
to one of the best suppers'. ever given,
and we did honor to it too. Then we
returned to dancing until daylight
when we babe them good morning.
We all enjoyed ourselves immensely.
We had several invitations that we
were unable to accept on account of
our time being limited.
| must say the people around and
within Rocky Bar, Pine Grove and
are the happiest and most
liberal people ever met.
All the time we were out, from the
day we started until we returned we
enjoyed every minute. ToPsY.
