Too much praise cannot be given to

GRAND AND MARVELLOUS.
Billings, Mont, Aug. 80.
MY Dear Mr.. Berger: To ask a plain
ordinary girl her Impressions of sights
so grand, so marvellous Is to tax the de-
scriptive powers of the most talented
of writer's to the utmost is almost too
great. The best I can do is to simply
! Mention the points that remain the most
wildly in my mind. Those are the
Grand Canyon, the lake and the falls.
Other canyons may be grand, other falls
| are beautiful, but 1 am sure these of
the Yellowstone surpass all others in the
beauty of coloring. Nature used her
paint brush freely in making Yellow
stone Park. But If these, the mentioned
walls of the canyon, the glistening ter
races, the beautiful lake make one ad-
mire them there are also spots that
make one tremble. There is certainly
something devilish about the roaring
geysers and the bubbling, boiling paint
| pots. Dante missed it surely when he
failed to see the Park.
You could never tire of the drives
where every mile brings you to a new
point of beauty or interest even when
the trip is taken in the ordinary way.
and when it is taken with the added
pleasure of the mpa of a gay, con-
genial party, under the protection of
| those who strive to make every hour
one to be remembered, as did the Inter
Mountain and the Wylie company peo-
pie. the trip is doubly enjoyable.
1 remain, your respectfully.

TIME TOO SHORT.

To The Editor Butte Inter Mountain
Butte, Mont,
Dear Sir: Regarding my recent trip
through the Yellowstone National Park,
as one of the members of the Inter
Mountain excursion, there was only one
feature. of it. which l would wish to
nave had changed, n that was the
time spent in the Park-it was too short.
There have been few events in my life
that afforded me more real enjoyment
and pleasure than the lays l spent in
Wonderland, and everything was ar
ranged so satisfactorily that all thep party
had to do was to partake of the good
things provided for it.. The comm
dations were perfect: we were driven
from place to place in one of the best
vehicles obtainable. The beds and meals
provided by the Wylie Qmpany were
excellent, while the managers and en-
ployes of that company apparently did

perfect one.
The two scenes in the Park that
charmed me most were the Grand
Canyon and the Yellowstone Lake. at
both of which places I would liked to
have spent several days. The beautiful
pools, Old Faithful and other geysers,
were wonderful. The formations in the
various basins We're splendid, but one
soon tires of them, but the grandeur of
the Grand Canyon is such that the more
one sees Of it the more they want to see
it is not within my power to describe It.
In. closing L would like to thank m.
many friends for the efforts they
forth in my behalf In the Bozeman con-
test, and also the management of the
Inter Mountain for rendering such a
than pleasant trip through the Yellow
stone National Park. I am. very truly
yours. DELLA TATE.
TREATED ROYALTY. ;
MY surprise and establishment can
hardly be explained. when, on Saturday
morning I received the message that I
had, won the coveted trip to the National
PARK. At frst 1 did not believe that
such luck was mine, but when the mes
sage was followed by IN Inter Mountain
reporter. Of course I thought then that 1t
was the rrruth. $500,
On Monday evening after bidding
goodbye to q number of the friends who
so kindly helped me during the exciting
contest, I boarded the train for Butte
where 1 was met by friends in that city.
That night 1 went to the Columbia Gar
dens and there met Miss Margaret Sui
Ivan. m If h Butte contestants.
Wednesday noon I was taken to the
Inter Mountain Office and there met the
other girls; then we went to the depot
and then with happy hearts and smiling
faces we left Butte. At Boseman we
were met by Miss Tate. Early In the
