Harding, Mont,
"To Young Aaron of The Butler
Times: l have been somewhat inter-
ested in reading notes from around
Butler and especially around Virginia
and thinking perhaps some of the peo-
pie there might be in our trip and OBJ
servations of this valley, will write
few lines. Mrs. H. and myself left
Lincoln, Neb., June 20 for Harding,
Mont, took a sleeper and crossed
most of Nebraska in the night. We
did not see very much wheat, it looked
short and corn had hardly got start
ed. They have had rain since and
both corn and small grain are doing
well. They report wheat making
good yield. We got to Alliance just
at sun up and were soon dressed and
looking out the window so as not to
lose any of the sights. The country
was very level for a few miles west
Of Alliance, but soon came to rough
uneven land, not fit to farm at all.
The railroad was so crooked we could
almost look in the back end of the
train. We were in land mostly COW
cred with scrub pine. We passed
through the corner of South Dakota
and the corner of Wyoming. The
land was rough and occasionally u
prairie dog town. We could see
plenty Of snow and ice on the noun
tains south of us. We arrived in
Harding at 5:45 p. m., June 2l and
found my son, Charles, and family
waiting for us. Harding is a small
new town only 5 years old, but before
