In Bozeman.

Bozeman. June 25.-The weather has
been very beautiful the last week or ten
DAYS and has had the effect OF inducing
people to go out TO the mountains for a
brief period. although IL is a little early
a. yet. and very few permanent camps
will be established until after the Fourth.
when there will be a perfect effiux for the
hills and canyons. The Gallatin canyo
promises to be more OF a favorite than
usual this year, ON account of the new
road. which will make travel compare
lively easy. Middle creek and Bozemsn
canyons are especial favorites on account
of the nearness to town, as well as for
their individual beauty. Camps estab-
lished I'm either OF the latter can be
reached in a couple of hours drive from
the city, IL they are not located too far
up among the hills. Many pleasant camps
indeed are not located more than an
hours drive from the Hotel Bozeman.
The camp of Col. o. r. Chisholm at the
foot of High Light is a great favorite
with the many friends OF the colonel. and
his family have a large number OF visi-
tors during their s%ojourn in that beauti-
full spot of natures handiwork, and many
are the trips that are taken TO the top
of the adjacent mountains. Up in the
Gallatin basin at the head OF the canyon
a permanent camp is already located for
the beneft of those who wish to enjoy
camp life without the many
usually attendant Herewith. Hot and
cold baths. meals ofa hrst-class character
and nice. clean beds under tents or cab
ms are some of the inducements offered
by Mrs. Fletcher. II is expected that
more people than ever will enjoy them
selves In the hills this summer, and the
town will practically he deserted during
July and August. except by those who
have to stay and keep the wants of others
supplied.
Reese Wells and his bride arrived from
Independence, Mo-, on Wednesday morn
ing. Mi. Wells Is bookkeeper for the
Benepe-owenhouse company and has a
large number of friends and relatives I'm
the Gallatin valley who are extending
him congratulations and well wishes for
a happy and long lease OF married life.
Mrs. Wells. whose maiden name was Miss
James. was formerly of Independence,
Mo. and a great fsvorite with her many
friends in that section.
A birthday party was given on Satur-
day last TO celebrate the anniversary of
the birth of Edwin Wilson. the son OF
George Wilson. Edwin. assisted by his
brother Herman, entertained his young
friends I'm a manner that the occasion
will be long impressed upon the minds OF
the young folks who were fortunate
enough to he invited and participate in
the fun. The party was held on the lawn.
and during the course of the event the
young guests were served with refresh
mente or an ~en1ONaDie character.
The glorious Fourth IL going to be cele-

ally Is every year Bozeman turns patri-
otto. The Bozeman brass band, the pride
OF the town. has had to buy a new drum
and several other instruments. as a con-
sequence Of the old band again appearing
on the scene. II hardly suits the boys of
the band that stays all the year around
that they should be forced to buy new
Instrument for this one occasion. and

and they are kicking a little. II Is prob
able that they will have to play to the
admiring public throughout the day. while
they contend the other band. being com
posed Of any and all who can play an
instrument. and not having any special
hold on their several members. will go

matter TO make any difference I .w'en
the two organizations. and he Bozen.an
