echoed back from the lofty crags, the
effect upon the foreigners and eastern
ers was marked and striking. They will
never forget the nine girls who went
through the park as guests Of the en-
terprising newspaper of the capital Of
Silver Bow county.
There were many Butte people in the
park and all of these cheered the Inter
Mountain party when the gaily deco
rated coach came in sight. w. H. Davey,
now occupying the mayors chair in this
city, went through the park at the same
time the Inter Mountain girls pursued
their merry way along the sunlit' roads
Of Wonderland. The political ability Of
the nine Montana girls attracted the at
tention Of the Butte man and he spent
4 number Of days investigating the
methods by means Of which they won
their triumphs in the battle Of coupons.
Not a few Of the hints dropped by the
girls had been used with profit by Mr..
Davey, who has since secured votes
enough to be placed at the head Of the
city Of Butte and given free rein in all
the municipal affairs. In return for the
political tips donated to his career in
p6litics, Mr.. Davey told fish stories to
the girls.

the Upper Yellowstone. they venturcd

Is considered hazardous feat and not
many have the hardihood to approach
the mighty cataract so closely. The
dull, awe-inspiring roar of. the falls
seemed to drown all other sounds as tho
party stood viewing Its wonders. Gay
and rollicking as were the Montana girls.
they appreciated the grandeur of the
park scenery as greatly as any visitors
who ever visited that enchanted land.
Rolling through the Park on the easy
riding coaches of the transportion COM
pany the bevy of Montana girls saluted
the other tourists en- route with peculiar
yell that was all their own. In merry
chorus they cried:
I'VE are the people, who are you?
We're from Montana; how do you do?"
Occasionally dignified tourists feigned
not to answer the merry hail but at such
times they We're taught that they made
a serious mistake in looking surlily upon
the coach load of Montana girls for the
yell was repeated again and again and
again until the grumpy tourists smiled
and called back an answering hail. 1t
was lots of fun.
From the time the party left Butte they
paraded the fact that they We're news
paper girls and the Inter Mountain was
their best friend. Night and day the
hollow canyons of the mountains rang
with this lifting refrain:
"Razz,e-dazzle, hobhle-gobble. sis boom
bah!
Inter Mountain! Inter Mountain! Rah'
Rah! Rah!'

their songs and music until the moon be-

was the jolliest night of all.
There was another night not SO jolly.

'THEYER 49,

On the afternoon Of August IA the
merry party started for the National
Park. The first part of the excursion in
cluded drive around Butte in the Inter
Mountains tally-ho coach. The young
ladies who were starting on the long
jaunt through Wonderland were for
the most part strangers to each other:
they came from the various sections Of
the state and some of them had never
visited in Butte before. But in a few
hours drive through the streets Of the
capital of Silver Bow they began to feel
an admiration for the Inter Mountains
home and friendly feeling toward one
another. By the time the party boarded
the Northern Pacific train for Yellow
stone Park the young ladies We're jubi-
liant over the splendid prospects for q
pleasant trip. They were. in fact, the
happiest girls in Montana; the victory
in the contest and the excitement of the
trip to the park filled their cups of Joy
to overlooking.
The party proceeded to Livingston and
took the train up the Park branch
for Wonderland. Passing through the
mighty gap in the mountain wall. the
railroad runs, following the trend Of
the river in winding course to Gin
nabar, 40 miles away. Here the party
boarded the stage coaches Of the Wiley
Transportation company and began the
ten-days' journey through the wilds of
the most charming section of the globe.
Like veritable page of a wonder book.

was unrolled. The sun rose in the morn

pany with James Irwin and others re-
turned to this place last week from the
Canadian Northwest, having each secur-
ed a quarter section OF land in the
Province of Assinaboia. They re-
port the crop outlook there as being
very much the same as found here.
1t seems to be the opinion OF nearly all
who have removed from this county to
the Western Canadian provinces, and OF
those who have returned from land
hunting trips over there that it is in no
way superior to Cavalier county, for
either mixed farming or stock raising
and many portions not so good, on
account of the difficulty in securing hay
lands.

they measure out to the farmer.

A large number of young people from
this locality went to Wales a week ago
to take in the picnic and finding lots of
fun and the breaking all done some of
them decided to make two day event of
il and report double dose of enjoyment
being the result.
Well, out this way we had Fourth of
July of our own and the pleasure of
staying at home and watching it rain.
1t is not for rain that the people are
crying just now. They now begin to feel
doubtful as to whether it will be possible
to get off crop of hay at all this season.
Every place where hay is usually cut is
now flooded with the recent rains.
Always something to trouble the farmer,
least that's the way it appears to most of
us.
We admit that our road overseers are
all nice enough fellows all right even if
they are all married men. but they must
remember that there are some young
fellows who are not married and quite a
few of them happen to live out in the
part of the township where the roads are
the very worst. When young fellow
drives out with the best he can find and
runs into one of those rivers that cross
the road on the town line his thoughts
are not of the most kindly nature toward
Mr.. Road Overseer.
There is still considerable more grad
ing to be done by our foad overseers
before things are just as they should be
in Grey township. Those in control in
Huron and Grey should get together and
see If something cannot be done in fixing
q grade on the town line. At the present
time the road is in an impossible con-
dltion. Something must be done, il
nothing more than putting in culverts
where the eoulies cross the road. Farm
ers out that way will have grain to haul
this fall and are as much entitled to good
roads over which to travel as those in che
