there and Norris. From Norris we
doubled the road we Travelled coming in,
with this exception we came out through
the Golden Gate. At Cinnabar we took
the train at s O'Clock that evening for
Livingston, having had supper at Gar
diner. This practically ended our trip.
1 might close by telling you of the two
yells the girls had with which we hailed
everyone we met and with which We in
troduced ourselves at camp, ETC.:
"Razzle, Dazzle, Hobble, Gobble,
Sis! Boom! Bah!
Inter Mountain! Inter Mountain!
Rah! Rail-! Rah!!!"
The other one was:
"We are the people,
Who are yCu?
We're from Montana,
o do you do?"
AS guests CT the Inter Mountain too
much cannot be said in their praise.
1 desire to express my heartfelt thanks
to all the friends who saved
for me during the contest and who made
it possible for me to visit a place l mad
long desired. to see, the Wonderland Of
America. LUCY GRANNIS. Dillon.
TRIP SIMPLY LOVELY.
To the Editor of the inter Mountain:
Dear Sir: How can l hope to write
about our trip because you know the
MINUTE l stop and think of it a thous-
and recollections come pressing to the
front, each one seeming to -lmand a
| place in my letter, but of course only a
few can be mentioned because of lack of
space.
TIL trip from beginning to end was
simply lovely, yes. more than that, it
was grand. Everybody was so kind and
attentive to us, especially SO Mr.. Berger
and Miss Evans, who chaperoned the
| party. 1t seemed as if our every want
was anticipated and provided for, and
I am sure all Of the young ladies feel
deeply grateful to Mr.. Berger and Miss
Evans, who were so interchangeable, n
of course for the of the Inter
Mountain who PLANNED the voting con-
test, we are unanimous in our thanks.
To the many good friends who gathered
the votes which gave me the opportunity
to take the trip at this time, I am in
deed deeply obligated.
Oh yes, you think my friends want me
to tell them through your paper some
thing of the trip. Oh dear! l don't know
where to begin or end. Imagine nine
excited girls taking the train at Butte
Wednesday, August Is, and arriving at
Livingston in the afternoon. After the
usual omping we took dinner and our
first real pleasure was provided for us
. tina evening, when we all went to the
theater. Thursday morning we boarded
the train for Cinnabar, where we
found a big Concord coach and four,
driven by fred" and decorated with
flags for the occasion. And Fred
proved to be a jewel. OF all the patient
mortals he certainly occupies a leading
place. We piled him with questions in
rapid fire succession and sometimes all
of us at once, but he was always ready
with an answer. An expert driver, kind,
gentlemanly, and attentive. I feel con-
fident all of us will remember Fred
as one of the pleasant factors of the
trip.
Passing over the early points of sn-
terest, including the many springs and
pools which excite so much wonderment,
we arrived at the Upper Basin Satur-
day, where we saw all of the great gey-
sers. Old Faithful Of course was great,
b-t it's so hard to tell of one and cave
out the rest as I must do.
Sunday brought us to the lake where
Captain Waters entertained US with a
ride on the steamer In the evening,
bringing us back about midnight. The
music and sound of the water combined
was inspiring in the clear night air and
we all regretted that midnight came so
soon. ...4
Monday and Tuesday was spent at the
Crane Canyon, truly the most wonder
full sight and one wholly beyond my
ability to tell of with any degree of fair
ness-one is simply inspired, lifted to
another world in fact, as the gorge
1900 feet deep is viewed from "coint to
point Point Lookout and the other
vantage spots. The beautiful falls at
the head Of the canyon, the Yellowstone
river slipping along the bottom in a sill
verv cord, with the cliffs 1,S0O feet high
rising up and by nature painted every
harmonious color Of the rainbow, Is all
simply superb.
Passing travellers were kept aware OF
our presence by our rraternal yell:
1--WE are the people.
We're from Montana,
How dc you do?"
And when this became tiresome:
zzla Dazzle. Nbb ONOle
Sis! Boom Bah!
Inter Mountain! Inter Mountain!
Rah! Rail-! Rah!!!"
In concluding I can only say that the
whole trip was delightful from the mo-
ment of starting until / altghted from
the train at my dear old home at Deer
Lodge, and ! shall never forgot 1t.
Again thanking all who contributed to
it's having been made possible. I remain
very sincerely yours. U WEIGH.
LONG TO BE REMEMBERED.
