THE SOUTH FORK COUNTRY.
A Village With Picturesque Surround
ings-Augusta and Upper Sun
River- Notes, Com
ments, Etc.
While sitting in the Park hotel office
one day last week, my friend Jasper
Miller came up, and suggested that we
take a trip through the counrty.
I asked him where he would like to
go and he told me. His trip did not ex.
actly suit me, so I laid out the following:
Leave here on the morrow, go to Sun Riv
er, thence to Augusta, the Hot sprin,
back to Augusta, thence to the head a
Dearborn, down the Dearborn
through Sullivan valley to D
the river to Chestnut, back by
coal fields of Sand Coulee,
Falls. He nodded his a
out the trip, and on the foll
we started.
Everything went smooth until
ed the ferry, then our trials began. We
waited there for half an hour before the
boat came to receive us, and then had to
t get out of the buck-board and help pole
the boat across. My friend did not take
kindly to that dripping rope.and tugged
with sullen reluctance.- But it was notthe
first time the joke had been sprung on me
so I assisted willingly.
Nothing worthy note transpired until
we reached Sun River Crossing. er

In the evening we drove up to Fort Shaw.
s Here we were cordially greeted .by Mr. i
Ferguson, to whose care we surrendered I
our team, and was invited to a cushioned 1
e seat in his neat little parlor. During the t
r. evening we strolled around to the sutler s
store, and found Mr. Heldt, as usual, in his I
office and pouring over his books. John t
Shepherd sold laces and shoes to the ia
n dies, while Will Burgy weighed out sugar
tr and coffee to the men.

The next morning the sun arose clear
and shone with sparkling brightness. The
fragrance of the spring grass, the budding ext
a trees and the early wild flowers blended we
1 profusely with the live chirp of the robin all
and the sweet strains of music. Every- "l
thing seemed in unison with the surround- fi
s ings. Neatness, decorum and accuracy
t reigned supreme. The drill practice was Pa
grand, in fact the finest I wver saw. ael
Every man stepped at once, every Bkyonet a
was in line, and every click and move- by
ment instantaneous.
k Leaving here we traveled up the Fort on'
a Shaw bottom to Flowerree's cattle ranch. lilt
Mr. Allison, the foreman, welcomed us
into his sacred precincts and had our ani- br(
s mals cared for in true cow-boy hospitality. S
s The boys entertained us and we recipro- so0
cated as best we could. This is a genuine in
cow ranch and one of the best arranged Ply
in the west. rit
k The next day we took dinner with Mrs. isC
John Schmidt. While there our talented an
I- young friend Leopold made us at ease pe:
._ while he executed his skill on different
musical instruments. los
As we journeyed on up the valley-pass- th
a. ing beautiful homes and traveling over dit
a some of the finest land under the sun, an'
as stretching, as it does, from the Rocky pri
SY Mountain range, down Sun river, to the kn
f Missouri, and averaging seven miles in Fa
width-I could hardly keep Jasper in the ne
I buckboard. He wanted to know all about liv
n. the country; why this beautiful section th
ly was not taken up, and why that one was by
e not taken up; why a railroad thad so long M'
Bs denied that prolific region transportation lac
for its products, and a thousand other gr
questions. But when I told him that the an'
1- farmers would not touch a piece of land lee
a unless it would yield 50 bushels of grain the
n- to the acre without irrigation, he laughed no
le a regular eastern laugh. On we went, SP'
'Y and crossing the river at Florence, we hil
r- called on Messrs. Lemon 'and Lippincott.
Here we dined at a western table, and shi
to slept in peaceful repose during the night, mi
Id with wide-open windows in April, and all
was neither burglarized nar scalped by fry

• "A village in a peaceful vale,
With jassamine round the door;
A hill to shelter from the gale,
And a silvery brook before."
Fortunately for us, there was a school
exhibition the night of our arrival, and
we took it in. Not knowing the names of
n all the youngsters who took part, individ
ual mention is out of the question. The
first on the programme was a quartette,
" Speed Away." Then a recitation, " The
Past Rises Up Before Us," was creditably
delivered and warmly applauded. Next
ea leture on domestic animals, followed
_ by several spicy recitations and dialogues,
" Curfew Shall Not Rihg To-Night," being
rt one of the recitations. But when the
h. little, seven - year - old daughter of Mr.
us Thomas sung "The Old Black Cat,'-' it
i- brought down the house. The little tot
stood up before a hall full of grown per
.- sons, and, with marvelous sweetness, sang
in a manner that would have. been ap
ed plauded in the largest theatres in the ter
ritory. Miss Kleinschmidt, the teacher, O
es. is deserving of great credit for her patience
ad and skill in perfecting such a pleasing
se performance.
ut As to the places of business: In the -
lower part of town is heard the ring of
s the village blacksmith's anvil and the
or dinner bell of the Valrath hotel. Mr.
r and Mrs. Walrath are strictly western and
1, pride in hospitality, and no one was ever
he known to leave their house hungry.
in Farther up the main street are busi
be ness- houses, embracing stores, saloons,
ut livery stables, etc. At the upper end of
on the village is the Augusta hotel, managed
as by William Eirkaldie and his two sisters,
Miss Fannie and Miss Nellie. These
ladies are endowed with all the feminine
er graces and household accomplishments,
he and a guest's only regret is the hour of
ad leaving, so neat, tasty and homelike do
in they keep the hotel. Mr. Kirkaldie is
ed noted for taking special care, in his
at, spacious barn, of all stock entrusted to
'e him.
