CHEYENNE a day as the Frontier show
in Cheyenne is from the 18th to 21st
inclusive. This will bring us home
about the last o. next week. 1t seems
hard to realize that it is so hot and dry
il Baraboo.
The days here are bright and COO
just right to be invigorating. The
nj ghts are decidedly cod. We all sleep
under blankets and quilts and last night
| was uncomfortably cold, we left oul
windows open and the wind blew in
from the mountain.
We are all feeling splendid Vir-
GINA has entirely recovered from her
iadisposition and has an enormous ap-
petite so much so that we have to hold
her back and don't give her all she
wants. We all seem blest in this way
and there is always a wild scramble
when the dinner bell rings. This after
noon Jack and Russell are off fishing,
Laura and Charles are riding, Addie,
Virginia Gertrude and | are going to
climb the mountain. Everyone keeps
busy. There are about half a dozen
others staying here at present and
about 18 sit down to eat to-
gether. We have piano and as there
are several in the party who play and
sing we have lots of music usually IN
the evening, where there is always a
roaring fire in the big fire place. The
land here is nearly all held by the
United States as forest reserve and
it is only in the valleys that it is owned
by ranchers and the lady with whom
we are staying came here fourteen
wears ago on a fishing trip and was SO
taken with the beauty of the country
that they decided to stay and build a
home here.
The Williams fork of the Grand
river flows through their door yard and
it is full of speckled trout. We reach
ed here from Denver over the Moffatt
road which is known the world over for
the magnificent scenery along its route.
w. E. Morse formerly once superin-
tendent on the Madison division is now
its vice president and general mana
ger and while in Denver called or
him. He seemed very glad to see me
and insisted on my going into his
private office when he made inquiries
about all the old r. r. boys of Baraboo,
and afterwards introduced me to many
of his men. would like to stay here
for month longer and we all hope tt
return again another year.
THOS. WILLIAMS.
