The roads between this place and Helena
arc fnc-1 wish could gay as much for
the provisions. The coaches arc enabled to
make good time. but the process of nasti-
cation, Is conducted at most of tho eating
stations, is necessarily slow; in fact the
toughncss Of the steak is difficulty which
renders it impossible for the hungry travel
or to chew up the value of dollar and a
half during the time allowed for refresh
ments and for hooking" fresh horses to tho
coaches. There Is nothing to he done about
it that know of. as =
THERE Is NO LAW COMPELLING MEN TO

Lunch baskets and lunches are constantly
in the way on the coach, but as between
them and station steak, give me the lunches
The arc two or three places on the road
where excellent meals are provided, and as

within few weeks, think it strategy to

copal Church. the first built, is Of adobe,
very finely finished In imitation Of stone.
The 5lc:hod;s;s have an elegant brick church
cdilicc, finer tlan can be found in most of
the country towns Of New England. The
Presbyterians have new church building
in the gothic style, nearly completed, which
will be tho handsomest in town. There
are two schools, both private, ono having
eighty and tho other thirty scholars. A
Catholic church and academy arc soon to be
erected. An Opera House, 100x44 feet, has
just been finished. 1t is provided with iron
framed seats and is one Of the ncatcst pub.

This is the town as it ito, but the inhabi-
tants expect much greater things. They
base their anticipat!ons upon the belief that
Corinnc is to be the source from which
100000 people residing in Idaho, Montana
and Northern Utah are 10 derive their
supplies.
. Their reasoning docs not appear 10 be
groundless il We note that within the last
nine months sixteen thousand tons of
freight have been received at Corinne and
shipped north, mostly 10 Montana. Mr.
Lowe, the agent here for the sale of schu,..
Ter wagons, tells me that he las disposed of
about three hundred wagons tits year, tho
greater portion Of which have gone 10 Mon.

A steamboat of $50 tons burden Is being
built at Stockton, Cal., for use on Bear
