box elder, ash, dogwood, and cherry, might well be that of any stream of
eastern Nebraska, were it not for the interpolation of black birch,
mountain maple, diamond willow and other mountain species, and the oc-
ecasional pine which breaks away from its true habitat to join this company.
There is considerable undergrowth, and the general character of the vege-
tation near Monroe Creek is in striking contrast to that of the slopes
even a few yards above.
Our Sioux County home, kindly placed at our disposal by Mr. J. ¢.
Pentzer, of Lineoln, was ea two-story cottase, with two rooms on each
floor. A stove, half a dozen chairs, an ax, a saw, cooking utensils,
© sufficiency of tableware, and other articles, were either visible or
soon became so, and we found ourselves well outfitted for our terry vith
surprisingly little trouble. Mr. Pentzer's generosity was often a topic
of conversation. Only a few stevs from the house, topped by a many-
branched birch, was a glorious spring, three feet in diameter and two feet
deep, furnishing the best of water, with a temperature of about 50 degrees.
