Str. City of Kingston, Aug. 8,1890.
DEAR TRtl'rNE:-As you solicited a
few scratches on my Journey to the far
west, I will fulfil my promise by a brief
word or two upon "things in general."
First, I realize powerlully that I am not
in the bright, clear-albeit rather warm
-climate ot Montana, for a thick fog en
velops the Al tsfan boat City of Kingston,
erstwhile on the lHudson river, and as
she steams away the hissing of her pro
peller and the toot of her fog whistle are
the only present evidences of our actual
progress, savew the wavelets Irom her
bow, which ore ison lost in the foggy
whiteness beyond. Landmarks we have
none, but speed on, ip faith that the good
captain will land us in the desired ha.
vyen. I much regret that the fog should
enshroud from sight, eyes that long
again to behold majestic "Baker" (11,500)
and glorious "Tacoma" (14,000) whose
snow clad summits glisten in the sun
light and gleam afar as the white robed
sentinels of God-the one (Baker) at the
month, the other (Tacoma) at the head of
the magnificent waters of Puget sound.
I cannot tell you how refreshing the
smell of the grand old ocean is to me.
The ocean is, to my mind, one of the in
expressibles of this world--is immensity,
its ever changing beauty, its grandeur,
its awfulnessl I feel overpowered with
its contemplation. I am drinking in
life, health, and, just now, peace-al
though we might have a Montana zephyr
ef.re we o... to vine. A.
I have only a short time more to write,
as we are nearing Seattle and I want to
mail you this my first epistle, so that all
our friends may know that although we
are going over the line, it's "O. K."
A word or two about the trip out here.
From Great Falls to Helena on Tuesday
last was the same old story, but it is one
of nature's serial stories, 'tis ever new.
The beautiful river, the awe-inspiring
canyon and purling brooks, with grassy
slopes and wooded borders, all tend t.
make that ride a continual joy-never
tedious, never monotonous. On. arrival
we went to the Broadwater Natatorium
and enjoyed a family plunge in that
eighth wonder of the world, after which
we had a good time in seeing friends and
arranging for our further journey.
Wednesday we sped away towards the
Pacific coast and old Sol seemed to know
that we were going somewhere to cool off
and put it in extra strong most all the
way, until we got to Lake Pend d'Orellle
where It was delightfully cool, but he
renewed his target practice on us the
next day until the Cascade Mountains
brought pleasing relief and the soft,
sweet breath of the Pacific fanned our
heated brows and kissed our cheeks with
loving welcome.
Missoula has quite a future and will
undoubtedly-with her big sister Great
Falls-grow to be one of the vigorous
manufacturing cities of our state. Spok
ane has already won the race and in a
few short years almost overgroen itself.
But it is possible that a "dark horse" may
win the race in s few years more and as
her talismanic name implies, be great
indeed. Ellensburg next "caught our
eye" as being a prosperous and thrifty
city. Its location is beautiful, its scenery
charming and its outlock hopeful. Rich
harvests of golden grain are being gath
erer in and I am bound to confess that
the Yakima valley is the choicestagricul
-.onral land which 1 have seen this year.
-Numbers of towns and cities of smaller
note I must pass by and hasten on to
make a few remarks about the Cascade
mountains, the tunnel, the descent down
the dizzy steep and close with a remark
about Tacoma,
The Cascade mountain range divides
eastern and western Washington and
sweeps round in a southerly direction,
forming the coast range between Puget
Sound and San Francisco. The sum
mits are lofty, the sides precipitous, and t
rising from almost sea level to the alti- t
tude of 5,000 to 14,000 feet impress the I
mind with greater power than do our
own Nelhart ranne. The railroad fol
lows the Yakima';. bed up near its o
source and then dives through a
big tunnel which took us eight
minutes passage, lighted with electricity,
and when we shot out of the tunnel into I
the light ia wondrous panorama greets
our view. The Cascades stood around us o
in all their sublimity and some of the
high peaks were actually below us. Then t
commences a literal drive down the P
mountain's sides. Our train glides like r
it huge boa-constrictor, now skirting the G
bluffs, or rather peaks, again shooting
down to some lower vale, when the well t
known "pheez" of the air brakes-what a
Were life without brakes-again running a
like a fox into his hole, the engine
shoots Into a snow-shed, and is lost to 0o
view for a while. Still again downwardat
we speed, against a huge rock-destruc.
tion seems before us; but no, the track If
curves around it and we just gracefully B
glide around it, too. Now over a creak
ing trestle and again an iron bridge;
trestles and bridges alike seem to span l
awful depths, and aonger and death seem
lurking there. The sumn of the whole
matter Is that this, the Northero Pacific
railway's Cascade descent, Is one of the
grandest triumphs of engineering skill,
"a wonder unto many," and, using that
vardl which or girls misuse so much,
"awfully grand!"
Tacomao was reached at 10:0 p.m.
'Tiural night, and fidaling the Issa
nait lhatel close to tile depot, I took a
shlort cut from tih tralin to bed, although
a friendly hand hadl grasped mine before 1
late of Helena, somehow knew I was on
the wing; periihaps "a little bird" had
told himt, but it surprised me.
Ht time flies, and I must give Tacoma
and Seattle rsparate and future notices;
still our heartar are singing as over the
waters we go--"IIote, home, sweet
huome. ie it ever so humlle, there's no
plaae like hanase." Jt t,, Jt.

TOWNPOTE COmPWANyY BU DING,.
Preparing to Erect a Splendid Bualdinag
The Plans and Probable Sits.
Geo. L. Fisher, of the firm of Mendel
sohn, Fisher & Lowrie, architects and
superintendents of Omaha, spent a few
days in the city recently and while here
prepared the rough draft of the building
whtch the Townsite Co. will build. The
TIBaUNE was shown the plans and we
stood ready to approve of them immedi
ately. The building is to be 50x100 in
dimensions and will be built entirely of
our brown sand stone. It will be absolutely
fire proof, as the doors and window cas
ing are to be the only wood ubout the struc
ture. All pillows and beams will be of
iron. The design is a handsome one, the
plans being much admired by anil who
saw them. The height of the I.uilding is
a matter not yet determined upon.
The probability now is that the Town
site company will purchase from the
First National hank their lot on the cou
ner of Central avenue and Thirdnl street
for a site for the building and lease for a
long term of years the first floor to the
bank. The first floor,in accordance withthe
plans, will be seven or eight feet above
the sidewalk, rendering the basement ex
ceedingly adapted for the offices of the
Townsite Co. While the details are not
arranged, it is certain that the company
will build and that the structure will be
one of the finest in the state.

Gradlng Ooutfit Moving.
Grading outtits are beginning to move
toward Fort Assinibolne to engage in
work on the western extension. Robin
son s&t Sang, who did the heaviest work
on the Belt mountains branch, have sub
let the first portion of the line, from the
junction west, and are already at work
with their large outfit of men and teams.
There is some heavy work on this section
and Robinson, Sang & Co. are just the
men to push it through.
r te Rmnovl or Cattle.
"Speaking of cattle being moved from
'e' the Judith range," said a well known
to cattleman to the Helena Journal, "the
ve Bay State company Is in a bad fix with
their herd. They have had them gath
ered in the Judith and had started to
7e' drive them to the Big Horn basin, in
Wyoming, to winter. They have nearly
reached the Yellowstone, and a few days
ago some men they had sent ahead to the
ig Big Horn returne4.to the herd and re
ly ported that feed and water were scarcer
t, in the Big Horn where they were bound
er for than in the Judith country that they
al had left. As a consequence the herd of
several thousand head has been turned
Saround and are now traveling back tothe
at Judith. These drives are not made with
h out considerable lose and if a hard winter
d follows this summer the Bay State com
pany will suffer."

t Grant sent a 45-70 through his brain,

The Montati Central Meat market was
yesterdayo moted into its new, pleasant

one of the kind in the state) and which
has the same cleanly appearance as every
thing else in the room. There are three
refrigerators, a large one for meats and
two smaller ones for fish, oysters and
poultry. A water power sausage ma
