on the lake in the winter of 1866, all her
timbcrs were whip-sawed. The planking
is of yellow fir. Her upper wooden-work
is of white pine. -Four months after the

on board 85 pack-animals, 10000 pounds

to be the first of three boats that are to
navigate Clark's Fork of the Columba to
the mouth of the Jocko-ten miles west
