THE YELLOWSTONE RIVER.

We copy the following from the Northern

to the navigabiiity OF the Yellowstone river:
Of the many noble streams whose basins
the line OF Northern Pacific Railroad follows
or crosses, and which mark the Valley Route
to the Pacific," the Yellowstone is one OF the

Lient. General Sheritian's staff. made Il recon
Nuisance of the river from its mouth to a
point three miles below the mouth Of Powder

the rocks alluded to, the river can be navi-

sons acquainted with the upper river state
that it will certainly prove navigable. nearly

The Republicans OF Lewis and Clask

which has ever characterized the people OF
that county. assumed to instruct the Repub-
licans of Jefferson County as to whom they
should place ON their ticket for Councilman.
This piece of efffontery was very properly
rebuked by the following resolution
RESOLVED. That We t11e Republicans of JEFF
terson county, in Convention assembled, do
repudiate the action of the Republicans of
Lewis and Clarke county, IN " icil they say.
by W. v OF recommendation and dctation, that
the nomination of Wm e. Grlnnell to the
position OF Councilman would be acceptable.
We look upon this as gratuitous and wholly
without precedent. and the esnression on
their part of desire to Interfere in our local
politics, and to Wrest from ns one Of our
inherent rights. Not. however. hut what
we as cordially intlorse Mr.. Grinnell as II
Republican of good standing and gentle
man emiHently qualified in all particulars
for the position named; but we do most
emphatically assert and maintain that the
nomination OF Republican Councilman
from this county exclusively belongs IS the
local Republican voters of this ensnty.

OUR NEW ARRANGEMENT.

When the new postal law went into effect
requiring the payment OF postage on all
matter passing through the post Office. We
conceived the idea of saving our subscribers,
as far as it was in our power, from this extra
burden. Hence, we had arranged a little
post Office OF our own. and retained ia the
printing effice, the papers that had hereto
tore been delivered from the Bozema,l post
office, about one hundred an sixty-fve in
number. We imagined it would be rs easy
for subscribers to call at the printing Office
tor their papers as at the postoffice, the former
being more centrally located. Besides, we
have desire to become acquainted with our
subscribers, and this arrangement will enable
us to meet them III persons and obtain much
interesting local news tlat we have missed
heretofore. However, we find many who
would rather pay postage on the paper (Which
is twenty cents per year, and must be pre-
paid quarterly and have it pass through the
hands of the Postmaster than to call at this
office for it. While it entails considerable
extra trouble on US we would prefer having
subscribers call at the printing Office for their
papers for various reasons. among which we
will mention that some have complained Of
not having received Their papers reg ularly
through the post Office This will, by the
new arrangement, be obyiatcd. Many change
tier residence without notifying us or the
postmaster, and their papers are continued
indefinitely to their old address. And last,
though by no means least, those in arrears
will probably call to nrind tlfeif Indebtedness
by more familiar intercourse with rs, and il
not we will have better chancc to remind
them of the fact.
