Prof. Gilbert E. Bailey, writlng to the Boomerang, thus' deacribes a nat- ural bridge in the Canyon of L Prele creek, near Fort Fetterman: Few of your readers, perhaps, are aware that there is hid away in one of Wyoming’s mountain nooks a natural bridge that is probably the only rival of the famous one in Virginia, My lnst trip into the northen part of the territory enabled me to visit this froak of that festive maiden, Dame Nature; hencs these words, The bridge is in the canyon of the La Prele creek, abous nine miles south of Fort Fetterman, and oniy & fow min utes walk from the stage road. The canyon has been formed by the paseage of a creek througha long, irregular ridge that extends east and wesb from Ls Bonte to Red Buttes. We vide firat up the long slopo of this ‘‘hog back” until within a foew feet of tho narcow gotge, and take a good look around us, There is nothilg sug tive of more than the usual ocenery for this pert of the country. To the north inys the beautiful but treacher ous Platte river, twisting its way through a country that is by no meavs flat and unaccented; for it 18 not even and level like the {llincis prairie, nor has it the monotonous, sea-sick roll of Iowa. The swells vary greatly iw height and shape, and the ‘‘draws” wind about with pleasing irregultrity, In the distance is old Fort Fetter- man, now'bat a reminiscence of the high old days when the boya in blue were there. Uncle Sum hus deserted the camp, and the hangers-on who gave the cometery the appropriate name of *‘Boot Hill” have gone; and the community, changing from the transition state, is fast being built up by men ard wemen wio have come tu ainy. To the south the hills that gradual- 1y rise to form the Laramie range are cut up in ail directions by deey twist ing ravines, dispiaying ot the precipi- tous sides monumental quarriea of massive rook, and cffering new phases of fantastic nekednesa at every turn. ‘The scont and ragged verdure that R. aniy during tho day andrun to city time, - | stragales - through the ravine only serves to accent the. barren look of things, Whep the riove stsaet. Ught pours on the white and bright masses of rock transfigaring tints, vhe splendor of eavagery tinds full exprea- the brink of iil of ; ¢ steps forwurd end we look dowa one hundred and filty fect into the gorge the littio stroam has carved through the limestone and rod triassic eand- stones, Ninety feet helow is the oridg band of soil-covered rock, fifty wide, hiding the water fc as it spans the chasm from the faco of the precipice to the level of the lower bank on the eastern side.

The banks on the east side are sixty feet high, and one could ride from them directly on to the bridge. +On the west, the tall wali of rock, gorgeous in 1ts red and white coloring, towers high abuwe the bridge. At some time in the past the little creek changed its course 6o that its waters wero brought directly against this wall, and tinding & fissue, it com. menced the work tkat ended in this grau! tribute to ite power. 1t is certainly as pexfect a bridge as could be desired, Lis width is about 50 fest, 160 foot span, with the top of tho low arch about 5@ feet above the s creek.

The gathering shades make us hasten to stage road and the house of onr genial host; 1 red stopping only long h to eateh & wlimpse of the gratefal, softenin, effoot which the antrammeled life o the prairic has upon the inflaxible vertebrio of British dignity, and to murmur to ourself: ““Unbend my uoknown lord of the cow camp, lest your bucking pony enap your stiff neck.” . If angone coming west wishes to noo this wonder of nature, take the stage at Rock Oreek, and tell the driver to lot youoff at the ranch of the genial, wholesouled John O'Brien, who will roon convert yon to the be liof that Wyoming scenery and Wyom- ing hospitality are worth coming a long way to enjoy.

The white fish of the Yonkon river, Alaska—to sny the government reports —woigh as high as forty pounds. The sturgeon of the great lakes aversgs fifty pounds and over. I saw, myseif, at the Sault Ste. Marie, one taken that weighed 126 pounds. The catfish of our lakes are of most superior quality, bringing in the southern marketa a better price then any of our lake fishes, whether fresh, salted or smoked. The aver- age size 1s twelve pounds; but yet I aaw a specimen taken with a hook and line that weighed fifty pounds.

Proper pre- cautions would make its walls almost proof agninst the heaviest frosts, and an inexpensive and easily-managed atove would insure against freezing. P.aced near the kitchen and connected by an inclosed passage, the out-door cellar would be more ousily accossiblo and in many ways more convenient than the cellar ean be. The women would no louger be compelled to carefally kick their ckirts aside an they toil step by step up the dark and narrow stalrs with their armas filled with pane, plates, jars and lamps, lugging up piecemeal tho stores the farmer tugged manfully to crery down throvgh the far more convenieut out side entrance.
