Van Ufford Brothers Find Democrat

Say that Glacier Park Is More
Wonderful Than Alps; Marvel at

From the center of tulip land in
Holland to Montana, the land of the
genus cowboy and the home of the
wild mustang, came R. Quarles van
Ufford, of Harlem, a IA ago and
his brother, w. Quarles van Ufford
last month, to view the west as it
exists and not as it is written or pic
tured. Both young men, who belong
to the nobility of Holland, have Wis
tied in Butte, with H. A. Doyer, man
ager of the Dreibelbis Song shop and
Peter Gerlings, local consul for Hol-
land, having motored from the ranch
in Wisdom, where they are staying.
Both of the Quarles var Uffords
visited in Butte several weeks G
and registered at the trail bureau.
They were that their old
friends were in the city and departed
after a few hours. However, when
Mr.. Doyer learned that his friends
had been visitors in Butte he got in
touch with them over the long dis
lance telephone and the happy re-
union Don took place.
R. Quarles van Ufford has just
completed a years outing or a Big
Hole ranch, living the life of the av
erage cowboy, DOMINIC the kerchiefs,
high boots and tall sombreros and
has now earned his title as a true
buckaroo, cowpuncher and bronco
buster. So enthusiastic did he be-
come over the west that he induced
his brother to come out also and live
in the great outdoors. Now both are
converted to Montana, but in spite
of that, must return home in a short
time to assume their old places.

thing is tame in Holland. We are
also amazed about the vast stretches
of land here. In Holland if a man
owns 100 acres, he is a rich man.
Here 10000 acres are counted a fair
farm. OF course the land in Holland
Is very rich and produces a great
deal more than 100 acres would here.
