From the center of tulip land il
Holland to Montana, the land of tn
genus cowboy and the home of thu
wild mustang, came r. Quarles val
Ufford, of Harlem, year ago ant
his brother, w. Quarles van Uffort
last month, to view the west as i
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 ant
Peter Gerlings, local consul for Hol
land, having motored from the ranch
in Wisdom, where they are staying
Both of the Quarles van Uffords
visited in Butte several weeks age
and registered at the trail bureau
They were unaware 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 soon took place.
r. Quarles van Ufford has just
completed years outing on Big
Hole ranch, living the life of the av-
erage cowboy, donning 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

Like Ranch Life
1--WE are most interested in the
wild horses" they declared. Every
thing is tame in Holland. We are
also amazed about the vast stretches
of land here. In Holland if man
owns 100 acres, he is rich man.
Here 10000 acres are counted fair
farm. OF course the land in Holland
is very rich and produces a great
deal more than 100 acres would here.
eff I take a 100-mile trip in the
old country I pass through several
different countries. But here, 1901
miles pass as nothing. The noun
tains, the fields and the valleys are
beautiful in Montana. We have no
in Holland and our hills |
are only about 600 feet high. The |
here compare most favor
ably with those of Switzerland Mon |
tenegro, and Austria. In fact, we |
find Glacier park more beautiful than |
switzerland, and wonder why more
do not visit it. The noun
tain lakes in Glacier surpass in beau
ty anything to be found in the old |
world"
r. Quarles van Ufford, who spent
! year with the cowboys had much
praise for them, saying that although
some are a bit rough, they are gem
,lemen at heart and are specially 4
rood natured. "They had a good deal
If fun with me at first. brought two
great large trunks filled with clothes
One of the cowboys surveyed my lug
gage, scratched his head and said,
What the deuce are you going to do
With those I found since that time I
hat this red shirt, boots, trousers ]
tucked in at top and kerchief were {
'lenty dressy enough for dinner. k
