chants are every day leaving for the States TO
purchase stocks for the ensuing season. Citi-
gems who have accumulated fortunes are seri-
ously contemplating sending east for new fur
nature, pianos, etc., with which To adorn the
homes love and prosperity creates, even In
these mountain wilds. llinfornation rela-
tive to the means of transporting this mer-
chandise, etc. to our Territory, Is regarded
with satisfaction, therefore We take pleasure
IN alluding to an old friend, the North West
ern transportation Company. This Company,
composed of the most wealthy and reliable
steamboat men In the country, achieved last
year a success that Is a sure guarantee of per-
manency and lture importance In the COM
merclal history of Montana. The Company
shipped over twelve steamboat loads
of freight to Benton last year, and In ali the
details of their immense business they gave
the utmost satisfaction. The coming year,
each boat dispatched by this Company will
be limited To 100 tons freight, aud the aver
age time from sioux City TO Benton be re-
duced to inside 25 days. thus the shipper
has two advantages; greater safety In the
shipment, thereby renducing the rates of in
surance, which are no small item in Missouri
steamboating, and an increased rate OF speed,
which will be one of the greatest benefits TO
be derived from the new regulation The
Company is at present engaged In building
ample and commodious docks at Sioux City,
that will afford great facilities TOR the load
ing of freight, and CORE pondingly benefit
the shipping interest. The four splendid
boats run by this Company last year are being
thoroughly repaired. and are the Deer Lodge,
Bertha. North Alabama and ranny Barker.
The Deer Lodge to be heightened over fifty
feet, and will be run for passengers only. 1t
a ha inf In - from
Sioux City in twenty days the next spring.
Tie construction of docks and repairs ut thu
boats is under the superInt'ndeDce OF Captain
James Clark, whose reputation rs one OF the
best and most successful steamboat men on
the river, Is sufficient authority for stating
that each will be complete. The oaken ribs
are are now laid tor four new boats for this
Company, which are to be built with special
reference to the upper Missouri trade and
and speed, and are ANTICIPATED, Will be the
fastest boats ON the river. 1t is the inten-
tion of the Company to run ten boats next
season, the names of which We are not in
formed. Ii l. impossible fo- to relate the
rates of freight, but this can be learned by
application to the office ut Sioux City. This
Company, which has at its command un-
bounded wealth and vast steamboat expert
spce, is deter mined that means shall be
left unused, no labor, time or money shall
be spared to sustain the established reputa-
Joab Lawrence, who by the way is the father
Of the Company, is one of the most Infuen-
tial and experienced steamboat men in the
West. His indomitable energy peryades every
department or the business, aud his expert
ence guides il through the recurring business
seasons as successfully as his skIlliul pilots
pass the trsacherous sand bars of the turbid
Missouri. The general management OF the
Company will be In the hands of Capt. sam
De Bow, who will arriye On the first
boat. A better man than Sam De Bow
does not exist, whether socially as a friend, or
a steamboat man. For years he has given
bis time and attention To the business, until
he is "master OF the situation" Acconmo-
dating, generous. honorable, II Is always n
pleasure to transact business with him. lie
Is as courteous aud attentive To the bu-Iness
of the shipper of keg of nails as to the
pur rchaser ui one of his magnificent steam
boats. Such are the kind OF men We want in
this county, and We hope that the n. W T..
Co. Will be with VI, ntana 20 long ms Montana
Is, and that sam DeB"w will ever be- its Gen
sral Agent.
