Last Sunday a few of the young peo
ple of the town undertook a trip to
the Butte and the vicinity. The sun
was blazing hot and there was a warm
breeze but little did the gay bunch
think of that as they were going for
pleasure and the tan and sunburn
could not stop them. They got more
of the latter than they bargained for
but the memory of the trip offsets the
pain and discom fort that it may cause.
The imrty left \i y . * ? shout six thirty
and had a very cool and pleasant ride
the forepart of the day but when they
reached the canyon it was hot and
somewhat disagreeable hut neverthe
less they were enjoying themselves
through it all to the fullest extent.
The party stopped five miles or about
that up the river for dinner and there
they stayed until time to return The
only shade was that of the perpen
dicular wall or rock but It was much
appreciated Those in the party were
