In personal note from Bozeman,
Mont, Mrs. Charles A. Pilsbury, who re-
Gently arrived at the home of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. VIM. F. Schoppe, says: "Of
course you wonder why you have not
heard from me, but you will understand
when tell you l have had the worst cold
or influenza ever had in my life and do
not seem to get over it. One day it seems
a little better and the next comes, on
again. The influenza is as prevalent here
as in the east. Bozeman is larger place
t han l expected. 1t has about 1900 or
or $4,000 inhabitants, the streets and
sidewalks are all paved and well kept
with trees on each side. They are alF of
soft wood, many of cotton wood, vari-
ETY. of poplar, weeping white birch, but
no maple or elms. There are many beau
tifuI houses, all of modern architecture,
mostly of the bungalow style and very
attractive. 1t is busy and busting city,
with autos and motor trucks flying in
every direction. The most wonderful of
all are the great wheat fields. 1t seems
as if there is enough to supply the whole
world, if it can be harvested in good con-
dition. Most all the men, professional
and business, go out each day at S O'Clock
p. m. and help in the harvesting work as
long as there is any day light. The
weather has been warm and delightful,
no frost yet to destroy any thing. We
had delicious peas from the garden yes
terday, also tomatoes and cucumbers.
The sweet peas are still in perfection.
Certainly this is a wonderful country.
The mountains are around us on all sides
and are very beautiful. Several morn
ings their peaks have been covered with
snow, but it soon disappears in the warm
sunshine Often it is hard to tell the
clouds from the mountains. The air is
delightful, so dry and invigorating. There
is training camp for 400 young men on
the College grounds and they seem very
enthusiastic. Everything is for war;"
