Diary of a Trip Through Its Picturesque Canyons and Lake Regions—Buffalo, Bears and Other Wild Game. Mrs. Frances Van Buren of Reno, Nevada, a cousin by marriage to Chester Spencer of this city, has written the following graphic account of a trip through the Yellowstone. Mrs. Van Buren with her husband recently visited Mr. and Mrs. Spencer here, and it was at the latter’s suggestion that she consented to put to paper her impressions upon the trip. Mr. Spencer thought it read so well that he has offered it to us for publication. We find it one of the most interesting descriptive letters we have ever read. We quote from it as follows: We are charmed with the entrance, Gardner Canyon, through which an impetuous mountain stream comes tearing. An eagle’s nest by the roadside, on a high cliff, with the young ones stretching their necks and wings, claims our attention. We realize for the first time how good it is to be in a place where the children of nature are protected from ruthless hunters and cruel guns. You are sure already that the park has been rightly named, from the coloring of the mountain formations. The beautiful shades of yellow rock abound everywhere. We meet for the first time the famous tally-ho coaches, heavily loaded, bringing passengers from the springs and the railroad at Cinnabar. What a delightful way to travel over these mountain boulevards! “Fort Yellowstone.” We were obliged to register names of passengers, parties’ name, and hand out all firearms to be sealed; receive a written permit, and take responsible printable park regulations. steam issues from two crevice-shaped holes in the rock about the size each of a small stove pipe; power has been computed at 500 horse. The amount of mineral in the steam deposit can be distinctly seen in the deposit around the vent for air, greatly resembling a snowy slush several inches deep; vegetation all around it is entirely killed and sort of petrified. The Minute geyser is interesting from the fact that it goes off every minute and all are sure to see the wonderful phenomena of nature. This is a wierd looking place. The formations cover about 25 to 30 square miles. The geysers and hot pots in groups. In the midst of a forest will shine out these vast fields as white as snow spouting and boiling constantly, mud, water and steam. We are in the midst of a tremendous mountain shower and all are hustling to cover utensils and cuddle around Camp Comfort and the new fangled stove. August 9.—Left Morris Basin 1:30 p.m., turning east for 11 miles through an undulating forest to Yellowstone Falls and Grand Canyon. This is usually the return trip, but we wishing to go out on the west side, reversed the program. This road leads up the valley of the Gibbon river through Virginia canyon, where we saw a series of beautiful cascades, rain-bow trout, and a bend in the road formed by a projection of rock in the road that was wonderful. An undulating pine forest that only allows an occasional glimpse of the rugged scenery around; we are watching for big game, but the ever present squirrel is the largest we see. August 10.—Grand Canyon Falls—Trout fishing in the morning in the Yellowstone river and protecting ourselves from a furious hail storm in the afternoon. August 11.—At last we are at the Canyon, and to say our eyes feast as never before on scenic beauties, it valley, Mud volcano and Sulphur mountain. Hayden valley is twelve of the sixteen miles we travel. It is the largest in the reservation and is especially adapted as a range for game, being well watered by several beautiful trout streams and the Yellowstone. What buffalo the government owns feed there in the winter, and elk and deer by the thousands. Sulphur mountain is a group of isolated hills near the road side. Large blocks of detached rock lay about the roadside in all of which a large percent of pure sulphur is noticeable. Hot spots everywhere, and the odors arising from the various vents are exceedingly disagreeable. A mud volcano situated a few rods from the road at the base of a cliff claimed our attention before we neared it. We heard dull muffled sounds, and when you get to the funnel-shaped crater, 30 feet in depth, formed by mud ejected from below, you see ejected through this cone-like opening a lead colored mass of mud about the consistency of mortar. It is constantly belched up in a manner at once repulsive and fascinating. Mud geysers line the roadside for five miles until you get to the lake. August 13.—At the lake; arrived here at twilight last evening. The lake is beautiful as you can imagine; 15 by 20 miles in size; somewhat resembling the human hand; embracing an area of 150 square miles. This is the largest body of water at so great an elevation in North America; 7788 feet above sea level; several islands dot its surface. On one herd of buffalo are kept for safe keeping as they are liable to wander outside the park limits in midwinter and fall prey to the gun of the unprincipiled hunter. The lake receives its supply from the natural drainage of the mountain reservoir. The beautiful Yellowstone that we must leave here is its sole outlet. The surface of the lake is literally We now see the beauty of so much red tape, as we called it when we came in the park. We are in the land of big game and we are getting feverish to see some. Wish a bear would come into our camp as it had in our neighbor's and steal our bacon, so we might see it. However we place the bacon very carefully out of reach of the bears every night. At last we have seen several bears. Have been down by the big Cosmopolitan hotel, where a few feet from the back doors the refuse is thrown from the table for animals desiring it to come down out of the mountains and get it. Regularly morning and evening, father, and mother bear and the babies come and feed. Such beautiful specimens of brown and black species never having been shot at or chased; they are when unmolested as harmless as a pig and remind one something of one. I noticed the habit of feeding at the hotel refuse pile was customary all along here. He who has never cast a fly into the depths of this natural trout preserve, and its large river outlet, knows little or nothing of its delights. One of our party, a lady who had had very little experience as an angler, landed five trout weighing from one to one-half pounds in an hour. To visit all of the circumjacent points of interest around this grand mountain lake, requires more time than we can give. Many sections have never been explored except by the adventurous sportsman. August 14.—Leave the beautiful hotel and lake for a drive of eighteen miles along its shore and the thumb of the lake. At the Thumb.—The drive this morning was like a drive in a park of a city in many respects. Our wagon close to the shore passed first sandy beaches, then pebbly. The wild birds, geese, etc. made it seem like a fairy land. We saw a beautiful herd of elk and antelope watering by the roadside in one of those emerald pools so abundant in this region. They stood for sometime within three rods of us for about five minutes, and then, as though he had just occurred to them... falls meet the eye. Swan basin and lake. We were a little disappointed; we expected to see the lake alive with swans. We were told that the travel, so much greater than in previous seasons, has a tendency to frighten them back. We have a fine view of Electric peak, 11,700 feet high, towering up by itself. It is so heavily charged with mineral, that electric storms play at random upon its peaks. It is said that any one fortunate enough to view it during a storm sees a spectacle seldom witnessed by man. Willow Creek is a beautiful trout stream and alive with beavers. We stop for two days to rest and fish; 150 speckled beauties the men brought to land in two hours' time. The excitement ran high; fish three times a day served in all ways. August 8.—Left Willow Creek early in the morning for Morris Basin. The points of interest on the road were Obsidian Cliff and Beaver Lake. Obsidian Cliff is a bold escapement of volcanic glass, mostly opaque in color, some of it streaked with yellow and red. The construction of the roadway was accomplished in a novel manner, gunpowder being of no avail. The rocks were heated very hot, and water, dashed upon the same while expanded and while cooling, shattered the blocks into small fragments, this forming the road-bell. Probably the only piece of glass road in the world, as this point is the only one in the Rocky mountains that is exposed. The composition is more desirable for arrow heads than flint. It was before it became a peak neutral ground for the Indian even in times of war. Beaver Lake was exceedingly interesting on account of its beaver houses and dams. Our altitude here is 7539; steadily raising. Morris Basin at 12 o'clock.—Our selves, guns and teams, etc., inspected. P.M.—We have visited the Geysers, the first we had seen. There are many geysers that I have not time nor room to mention. The Black Growler is most curious; you can hear it for many miles before you see it, like the sound of a threshing machine intensified ten times. A long way off one imagines they are coming into a manufacturing district instead of a land of boiling water and mud. This geyser emits very little water, but a vast quantity of whole gorge flames. It is as though a rainbow hung suspended and flung its colors like glorious banners. The underlying color is the clearest yellow; this flushes onward into orange. Down at the base deepest mosses unroll their draperies of the most vivid green, and such a green I never saw in any other place. Browns and wood shades sweet and soft do their blending. White rocks stand spectral. Turrets of rocks shoot up as crimson as though drenched in blood. It is a wilderness of color, and it is impossible to tell you about it. What you would call in the softer tints of nature exaggeration would be the utmost tameness compared with this reality. It is as though the most glorious sunset you ever saw had been caught and held upon that resplendent awful gorge. I was appalled and fascinated. It was an epoch in my life. Standing on Inspiration Point, 15,000 feet above the falls and river, we looked down upon several eagle nests with the young ones in them and saw the fond parent bird circling around her babies, occasionally taking a graceful swoop down to the river bed. I cannot stay here any longer; my soul has litterly gluttonized on sights before me. Back to lunch, hurry scurry 16 miles to make before supper on the bank of Yellowstone Lake. The points of interest between Gardner Canyon and the Lake were Hayden Some Reasons Why You Should Insist on Having EUREKA HARNESS OIL Unequaled by any other. Renders hard leather soft. Especially prepared. Keeps out water. A heavy bodied oil. HARNESS An excellent preservative. Reduces cost of your harness. Never burns the leather; its Efficiency is increased. Secures best service. Stitches kept from breaking. OIL Is sold in all Localities Manufactured by Standard Oil Company. August 14.—Leave the beautiful hotel and lake for a drive of eighteen miles along its shore and the thumb of the lake. At the Thumb.—The drive this morning was like a drive in a park of a city in many respects. Our wagon close to the shore passed first sandy beaches, then pebbly. The wild birds, geese, etc. made it seem like a fairy land. We saw a beautiful herd of elk and antelope watering by the roadside in one of those emerald pools so abundant in this region. They stood for sometime within three rods of us for about five minutes, and then, as though it had just occurred to them, they had better move on, trotted off. Their fur and horns were so much more beautiful than they are in captivity. Here are whortle berries, buffalo berries and every kind of wild berry in abundance. Here we see the noted paint pots for the first time. I will speak of them later. Our party all indulged in a natural shower bath of warm water which was novel; not the bath, but the natural construction of the room and shower. One of our party met four bears in a little meadow where he took the horses to feed. It is unnecessary to say that he quickly stepped aside and gave them the right of way. August 15.—Geyser's Upper Basin Arrived here yesterday, after a most curious and beautiful drive of 18 miles, principally through shady canyons with their accompanying spring brooks dancing and bubbling. Crossed the continental divide twice; Atlantic on one side and the Pacific on the other. Continued on Fourth Page. Drying preparations simply develop dry catarrh; they dry up the secretions, which adhere to the membrane and decompose, causing a far more serious trouble than the ordinary form of catarrh. Avoid all drying inhalants, fumes, smokes and sniffs and use that which cleanses, soothes and heals. Ely's Cream Balm is such a remedy and will cure catarrh or cold in the head easily and pleasantly. A trial size will be mailed for 10 cents. All druggists sell the 50c.size. Ely Brothers, 56 Warren St., N.Y. The Balm cures without pain, does not irritate or cause sneezing. It spreads itself over an irritated and angry surface, relieving immediately the painful inflammation. With Ely's Cream Balm you are armed against Nasal Catarrh and Hay Fever. BOARD OF AUDIT PUTS IN TOBASCO SAUCE. Report Important Documents Missing from the Secretary's Office, and a Peremptory Order Issued to Mr. Blennerhassett to Produce Them. The Board of Audit walked into the meeting room of the Directors of the water company on Saturday afternoon last at 4 o'clock and laid upon the desk of Secretary Krick the report of their investigations into the books and records of the Secretary's office. The Secretary made the announcement to the board, which took up the report immediately for consideration. It was found the report was incomplete, as many of the books, papers and vouchers in the Secretary's office were found to be missing. The report after being read and digested was ordered to the file, and the Board of Audit instructed to continue their investigation, and to issue to Mr. Blennerhassett, the retiring Secretary, a peremptory order to produce the missing documents forthwith. The Board of Audit met again on Monday morning, when the demand upon Mr. Blennerhassett was made in writing, and the investigation of the 'documents in the office proceeded. Their report of the Board of Audit is as follows: ANAHEIM, March 2, 1901. To the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Union Water Co.—Gentlemen: In our attempt to comply with your request, as per motion passed by you at your meeting of Feb. 9, 1901, we have been met with a very unforeseen and perplexing state of affairs, as concerns the books, papers and vouchers of the Secretary's office.

Notice of contest of the will of Kate M. Simpson, who died at her home in this city some weeks ago, has been filed with the County Clerk. The contestant is Charles S. Simpson, a son. The facts in the case are briefly as follows: The estate, which consists of valuable acreage, town lots and notes secured by mortgages, was willed to Estella May Simpson, a fifteen-year-old daughter of the contestant, and to the Ransom Home of Los Angeles, the contestant receiving only $25. Their report of the Board of Audit is as follows: ANAHEIM, March 2, 1901. To the Board of Directors of the Anahiem Union Water Co.—Gentlemen: In our attempt to comply with your request, as per motion passed by you at your meeting of Feb. 9, 1901, we have been met with a very unforeseen and perplexing state of affairs, as concerns the books, papers and vouchers of the Secretary's office. All zanjeros' daily reports of delivery of water to consumers, prior to Jan. 1, 1900, have disappeared, as have also all stubs of water-rate receipts and stubs of assessment receipts, prior to Jan. 1, 1901, and cancelled certificates of stock for the transfers for the past year or more, thus rendering certain investigations which we desire to make to a certain extent impossible. A great portion of our time has been taken up with search for said papers, thus making our report less complete and satisfactory than we could desire. We have, however, compiled from the result of our investigations to date the following report, which we beg leave to present: We have examined and checked up all vouchers and warrants from Jan. 1, 1901, to Feb. 1, 1901, and find them correct; also Treasurer's account, finding balance of same to correspond with ledger balance of the company, taking into consideration warrants issued, outstanding and unpaid. A summary of said business from Jan. 1, 1901, to Feb. 9, 1901, is as follows: Jan. 1, Balance on hand, Treasurer: $10,974.00 Cash Secretary: $56 - $10,975.50 RECEIPTS. Cash (consumers) deposited for water: $664.50 Cash (construction) received from sales of cement: $100.89 Cash repairs: $20.85 - $796.34 PAYMENTS.

Hardy, as submitted for the year ending Dec. 31, 1900, we take exceptions to same as being incorrect in many respects, as proved by our investigations thus far, which are incomplete and not satisfactory to ourselves. From the result of errors and corrections thus far discovered by us, we would offer a trial balance from the books of the company as follows. See trial balance attached. A further intelligible report is impossible with our limited time. In conclusion would say that we have Contested Will. Notice of contest of the will of Kate M. Simpson, who died at her home in this city some weeks ago, has been filed with the County Clerk. The contestant is Charles S. Simpson, a son. The facts in the case are briefly as follows: The estate, which consists of valuable acreage, town lots and notes secured by mortgages, was willed to Estella May Simpson, a fifteen-year-old daughter of the contestant, and to the Ransom Home of Los Angeles, the contestant receiving only $25. Jas.G.Q.Uck is executor, and under the conditions named in the will is to manage the estate, collect all revenues and expend them as needed until Estella May arrives at the age of 25 years, when the property is to be turned over to her. The contest is made on the grounds of mental incompetency. Senator Clark. Senator-elect W.A. Clark of Montana will not be permitted to take his seat in the upper branch of Congress if the allegations contained in a protest filed with Senator Chandler of New Hampshire, and which have been presented to the Senate are proven. This protest has been filed by H.R.Knap of Helena, representing the Labor party there, and by interests prominently identified with the Standard Oil company. It is alleged that Clark's personal contribution in the recent State election was between $250,000 and $300,000 whereas his sworn statement as to money contributed for campaign services placed the sum at only $20,000; that Clark throughout the entire State campaign paid the personal and living expenses of every member of the Democratic State Committee; that Clark spent $60,000 in Silver Bow county and $20,000 in Cascade county; $7500 in Dawson county to elect Senator Cullen and $5000 in each of the following counties: Granite, Jefferson, Broadwater; Beaver Head and Madison. It is reported on good authority that Charles Clark, son of the Senator-elect, is one of those who are opposed to his father's admission to the Senate; father and son having fallen out. The explanation offered for this is that Charles Clark, who is a very wealthy mine owner in his own right, has been won over to the cause of the Standard Oil or the Amalgamated Copper interests, which may make him president of the Amalgamated Copper company. It's Easy To Take Thin, pale, anaemic girls need a fatty food to enrich In reviewing the report of the expert, E. W. Hardy, as submitted for the year ending Dec. 31, 1900, we take exceptions to same as being incorrect in many respects, as proved by our investigations thus far, which are incomplete and not satisfactory to ourselves. From the result of errors and corrections thus far discovered by us, we would offer a trial balance from the books of the company as follows. See trial balance attached. A further intelligible report is impossible with our limited time. In conclusion would say that we have investigated the amount claimed by the expert as due consumers, namely, $2433.44, and by correction of errors have reduced same as appears on general ledger to $563.31. A careful balance sheet as drawn from consumers' ledger shows the following results: Due to consumers... $1,126.35 Due from consumers... 753.83 Net balance due consumers... 372.52 A comparison of our trial balance with that of the expert will show a difference in bills payable of $50; the result of overpayment of note of Theo. Flotow, No. 240, which amount we have charged to W. H. Blennerhassett. Our investigation thus far results in charges to account of W. H. Blennerhassett as follows: To bills payable, Flotow... $50.00 " assessment, 1900... 100.00 " assessment, 10 shares, W. F. Botsford, 1898... 10.00 To assessment, 10 shares, W. F.
