A Rocky Mountain Glacier Near Upper Marias Pass
In a description attributed to Prof. Pumpelly and an Indian guide, the Upper Marias Pass region north of Missoula is explored. A true glacier with a mile-wide frontage and towering, snowpacked surrounds yields twenty two cascades over 500 feet tall. Summit height is seven thousand eight hundred feet above sea level. The expedition notes dramatic amphitheaters and distant peaks, with mixed impressions on weather, geology, and scenery.

Witty fragments and odd humor from a bygone era
A collage of humorous vignettes, jokes, and poetry lines from a distant paper, including exchanged quips about governors, a playful photographer with Viola, a root beer prank, and a long dramatic poem excerpt. The piece also surveys crime, drink, and social issues with excerpts attributed to various cities and editors.
Temperance Notes and Sober Living Across Cities
A compilation of temperance snippets cites Milwaukee as a high per capita drink rate with elevated self harm, San Antonio whisky use in mixes, and China’s past lack of reunification. It notes a lawyer taking a temperance retainer, saloon-induced domestic issues in Iowa, and Oregon towns reacting to Willard’s visit amid a Firemen’s Picnic absence. An Oregon study links drunkenness to family history patterns at Fort Hamilton.
