ROCKY BAR, Feb. l6, 1899.
DEAR OLD BULLETIN - Thinking
a lew notes from this camp would be
OF interest to your many readers in
TINS section as we'll as elsewhere, I
send the following, the principle sub
Ject being the celebration Of St.Valen-
tines day by masquerade ball, which
proved TO be the grandest success
known in Rocky Bar FOR many years
past. The music Was furnished by II
y Ahbotts orchestra, consisting of
four instruments. And, oh, such mu.
sic as was prod;iced is unequaled in
this isolated part Of the universe and
very hard to shrpass in any part of
ldaho-and this is the unanimous yer.
diet OF those present.
The dance commenced at s 30 d.
m. and continued until a. nj, lasting
10y hours, none leaving except few
spectators, and even they were so in.
fatuated that they did not depart be-
fore the "wee hours" made their APP
pearance.
Basket refreshments were erved at
the midnight hour, having been pre-
pared by participants IN the dance,
each one trying to display better art
in the line of cooking than their
neIghhors.
The dance was gotten up in honor
of the families here from the river
who are unable to miugle with Rocky
Bar pleasures at all times, owing to
the condition of the roads.
This ENJOYABLE affair took place at
the Miller & Seward hotel, which was
crowded to the extreme, both upstairs
and down, but our agreeable landlady
and landlord made 1t very pleasant for
all-giving the use of several rooms to
ladies with children. One hundred
and eighty two lunches were served.
