neen carefully drawn up from truhtworthy
sources, The Red River Is said to have depth
Of alx feet for considerable distance above tho
NOUN of tue Cheyenne, and below that uine
to twelve fent down to Red River Lake, mud
thence 70 Lake Winnepeg sixteen feet. The
current II moderate, being only shout two miles
N hour OF its upper tributaries; the Cheyenne
IL nAvagable 100 milea, and the Ashboine prob
ably 200 tn1les. The Red River ia navigable IT'S
miles. aud to its tributaries shout 3s6 making
oTer 800 milss Of nsTagsble water In this valley
ALONE: Lake Winnepeg il about $50 miles ii
length The Sa kstchewan il naviRabse up
ward Of 700 miles in = direct line, but. by the
eourso Of the stream, nearly twice that distance.
The Bo" River, or South Branch OF the Sa
hetche wan. u also large stream, nsvi9abfe fer
aconssderah!e distance. 1t Is mentioned a. a
angular fact that the sources Of Fraser River
arc separated from those of Peace River By only
BIT yards, the tirs. running into The Pacific, and
the tatter enthusiastically into Mckenzie's
ksVeri and that canal crossing this iaihmus
would unite the waters running TO the Arctic
gsean With those flowing into Puget SQUAD.
Tho area reached By the navigation Of the riy.
era above named ia estimated at 4oo, eco square

The report goes into particular description
Of the face OF the country and its adsptabil.y 10
cultivation. speaking with great enthusiasm Of
the Ksd Rlves Valley; and thence proceeds to
describe the country further north-she Selkirk
settlements. the Cumberland, Saskatchewan and
Athshasea districts, II it proposed to take i
small steamboat across the 1sthmus, between
Big Stone and Traverse Lake., aud descend the
Sioux Wood River to the Red River, u soon az
possible in the Spring, and establish navigation
on that stream Immediately. It is deemed q
matter Of great importance to the people OF 81
Paul, aad they are urged to obtain the estab-
llahment Of mail route in that direction to Pu-
get Sound A company has been organized IN
Canada TO carry ont similar project Of nsyigs-
tiou, having capital Of $lo0. 900. They are 10
construct portage roads between Lake Superior
and Red kiver, in al1 14o miles, to place four
small steamers on the reaches along Rainey
River and the Lake Of the Woods. one on the
Red River, ane another on the Saskatchewan.
Should the Minnesota movement 70 ahead,
there will bo sharp competition between these
two companies for the first harvest Of the new
country. The meeting concluded BY Offering a
BOGUS of 81 900 to any one who woutd put d
steamboat Of q hundred tona on the Red River
and run her during the nayigahle season Of the
