',hich will enable him to command the
Montana, Idaho. and Up River Indian and

The people of Montana aro moving in 1arn-
est to secure an outlet either to the Eouth of
the Musselshell or the Powder River, though
the latter seems to be generally preferred by
them as appears from late Montana papers.
Twenty thousand dollars will complete q.
wagon road striking the Missouri River at
the Musselshell. and a less sum will coEplete
road to the Yellowstone at the mouth OF
ern Pacific railroad, saving 700 mills ov5r tho
Fort Benton route, which has been preferred
to the route ria the U. II. h.
Commodore Kountz, who ID ono Il the
shreydest financial managers In she United
States, has had his eye on this trade and mas
finally completed his arrangements, and MS
steamers: the Molie Moore, Katie T. Sountz,
May Lowry, Peninah, Carrie Y. kountzs an
drew Ackley and John Falle, will winter at
Bismarck ready for business in the spring.

North Pacific to Bismarck. Above Bismarck
/ navigation is unobstrucsed and boats may ru

It is well known that because the road was
