In addition to this. an effort Is being made to
bring the United States mails by the North

well.will give this subject early consideration
so that the mail matter for this Territory may
be brought to us frem the direction OF Bis

deep SHOWS in the winter. and will be the
means Of opening mp a nearer route TO the

The sum River Reservatlon.
From tile MoHtal,ian. |

s az
The following letter from tic Secretary Of
the Interior to Governor Potts Is III answer 70
q letter from the Governor to that Depart
ment. making inquiries as t the cause
of the late order setting aside Sun River
Valley. with OF er portions OF Northern
Montana. as q reservation for tile Blackfeet.
Piegan and ether Indians. The Governor In
his letter, I'VE understand, set forth many dis
advantages that would accrue TO the people
of Montana, and the settlers Of SIN River
Valley especially. by the order. and asked,
we believe, that the order be rtc0nsidered.
II will be seen from tic secretary's letter that
the Department. invites suggestions from the.
Governor IN regard to Indian matters, and we
understand that he will make q further state
lnent Of facts in relation to hardships that
will accrue to settlers in { e carrying out OF
the recent order. citing the fact that many
setti@.s within the bound; ries OF the pro-
posed reservation have already acquired title
by patent for their lands, have made valua-
BILE improvements on the same, and the in
Justice Of now compelling them TO remove.
He will, we understand, suggest that the lines
OF tile reservation be changed from those
originally adapted, and instead Of following
.up the Sun River, to only extenInp tile Mis-
souri, as far as the Great Falls. fkerce taking
a due line to Tie Rocky Mountains. thus leav-
ing ont all OF Sun River ard all the desirable
lands now within the reservation. The Gov
erno- has eaerted himself IN every way to
have the lines of the reservation changed.
using ali his influence at Washington to nc
complisl1 it, and thinks it very probable that
his suggestions will be adopted by the De
partment. The lines he proposes will leave
the reservation about half its present size
The main object of The order seems to have
/ been to include Fort Benton tor the purpose
of preventing tile saleof whisky at that point
| which object will still be attained i the Gov
ernor's suggestions are adopted !:
