UPPER MISSISSIPPI, NAvIGATIoN.--The
well known Capt. Houghton, formerly conf
mandcr of the Mollie Mohler and other
Mississippi and Missouri river steamers in
days gone by, has recently built light
dr.ught steamboat on the Upper Mis-.
sissippi, which is now regularly plying
from Little Falls to point near Lake Poke.
gonna, hut few miles distant from the line
Of the N p. II. r. This steamer, though
small carries large load, and Capt. Hough-
ton, on late trip, took up. 100 passengers
and so tons of freight. The voyage takes
in long stretch Of river navagation-3OO
miles or morc-which is now made subscr-
Went to the uses of commerce and travel.
The building of the Northern Pacific Rail-
road gives the little steamer good passen-
and freight traffic. A few days ago says
the St. Paul Pioneer, Capt. Hought0n
pushed the steamer from the Mississippi up
into Sandy Lake through its outlet. crossed
Sandy Lake, and ran some distance up
Sandy river, during high water. This is q
stream generally only about twenty feet
wide, and it was quite champion feat of
navigation to push boat SO fur up The
Indians were astounded. and told Captain
Houghton the "Grcat Spirit must have
helped him. He. actually reached point
where he could hear the locomotives whistle
at the Junction, and the Junction people
heard his boat whistle. Soon those s0litndes
will echo regularly to the steam whistle
now It IS . desolate wilderness. Captain
HOught0n says the scenery along the Mis-.
sissippi IL generally very fine, and some ,isy
it may becUme much travelled route.

been visited with a considerable storm of
snow, which has extended throughout the
Territory. The mountains and divides are
covered to the depth OF from six to eight
inches, aud the table lands are mantled to
the depth of from one to three inches.
Without doubt, this will all disappear pres
entity, judging from precedents established
the past three seasons. The present may be
an exception to the general rule, and dash
of sleighing may come to US in the autumn
