MONTANA SCENERY A personal letter from
Bozeman, Montana, under date Of Oct 10Th
tells something of the climate and scenery OF
that far away State: 1.-THE whole week has
been just perfect. The sunrises are wonder
full as the sun touches the slopes of the noun
tains all around the horizon. After dinner
oounday. about p. M, we walked out to the
foothills east of the town. The colorings are
brighter than l have ever seen them here
the trees all bright yellow, the fruit trees
yellow, shaded with red. and on the hills lots
of red leaves From the foothills one can see
entirely over the valley. and the view is won
derful. Most of the mountains are snow.
capped now ana even the nearer ones are well
sprinkled about the peaks. There is still some
grain to be threshed-we saw three outfits
working this p. m.-and imagine people who
have wheat out are getting pretty anxious
now"
! FROM KITCHEN WINDOW. Last week the
occupants of one of Belfast's old homes en-
joyed view from their kitchen window that
would have delighted an artist. Near the
house the ground was completely covered with
| carpeting of golden leaves that surpassed
any human weave. A little beyond was 9
| windswept walk. on one side of which was an
English thorn tree. laden with red berries, q
lilac bush. its foliage untouched by frost. and
copper beach with it's dark brown leaves. On
the other side sweet pea trellis with sweet
peas still blooming and pink and white phlox
Where the grass showed it was as green as in
early summer. Across the street, which was
not visible because of the higher ground on
each side, was dense wall of foliage, COM
posed of shrubs and trees-so dense that no
light showed through it-and framed in the
green leaves white gate, this al~ne making q
picture worthy of the painters brush.
