Beauty and Grandeur
of EnvirOns.

The splendid number Of 451 peo-
pie went to Dark Canyon and Me-
Gees Mill on the Black Hills, Rapid
Canyon or Crouch Line yesterday
forenoon, and to say that as an ex-
cursion 1t was grand success Is
saying small part OF the truth.
Everybody was delighted with the
beauty and grandeur Of the scenery,
and many Of them had never seen
anything to compare with 1t. To
those who have always lived In q
prairie country the hills and their;
beauties present striking con-
trast. The Hills are looking their
best now, and it Is no wonder that
all were pleased and highly appreci-
ated the courtesy OF the railroad
company. h
