Benjamin Harrison inaugurated as 23rd President of 38 United States.
Sunday April 21st 1889
Mr Badlam and Mr Swan started off early up
the creek fishing. The rest of the party started up
the opposite ^side^ of the mountain, and examined all
the geyser springs, which were very interesting.
Steam issued from crevices from the sides of the
mountain to a great extent, other places boiling
water came forth, and in other places there were pools
when the water boiled with violence, as it would in a
pot over a very hot fire. I leaned upon the arm of
Brother Wilcken who aided me greatly by assisting
me up the mountain. It gave Brother Wilcken a
good sweating to do so. We descended by another path,
which was much easier than the one we climbed.
It is remarkable that all these geyser springs are
all on the one side of the creek. We spent the day
very quietly. Mr Badlam and Mr Swan returned
with about a hundred trout, which they had caught
in time for dinner, which we ate about six oclock.
Before dinner, Bro. Cannon & Bro. Wilcken & myself took a bath.
