GEN. ROSSER rs. GEN. HAZEN.
as TO THE N. p. COUNTRY.

In refutation Of the statements of
General Hazen, that the country along
the line of the Northern Pacific Rail
road is too cold and dry, and the lands
worthless, General Thomas l.. ROsser
states to a reporter Of the Minneapolis
Tribune that General Hazen is q very
peculiar" man; vain Ostentatious and
fond OF notOriety, and consequently
scrlbbles a great deal for the papers
Sometimes his theme is the wanton
and cruel waste of the Buffalo on the
plains by reckless hunters; sometimes
this desire is indulged in, at the ex-
pense Of the staff corps of the army.
lie says Gen. Hazcn has never seen
an acre of the country trayersed bv
the Northern Pacific between the Mis-
souri, and Yellowstone rivers, and
knows nothing of what he is talking
about. General Rosser denounces the
talk about the intense cold as the
merest bosh-U. S. soldiers serving in
that region are clad in precisely the
same manner as those in Texas, Tlori-
da and Louisiana. The Indians live in
a state Of hostility towards the COY
ernment along the line of the Northern
Pacific, and in Dakota and Montana;
and subsist on the abundance of game
which the country supports during
winter, and their ponies have nothing
III the way of food provided in summer
for winter use, but live upon the pick
lngs OF the Ha-ca desert. At no time
during winter, was there snow enough
for s!eisling between jamestown and
B,Smark, which are separated by 115
miles OF prairie; and in an experience
OF three years in this country, General
Rosser has noticed an abundance of
water for agricultural and other pur-
poses. The General believes that Ha-
zen has either been hired to write the
letter i'll question, orhas written from
or vain glorious motives.
The Minneapolis Tribune supports
the theory OF malice. The Tribune
learns that when Hazen was on his
way to Fort Eufor,l, he applied to the
officers of the Northern Pacific rail
road for a pass for himself and 200
pcunds OF baggage, which was refused;
this circumstance as the st. Paul Press
says, "may account for the milk in the
Generals cOcOan,lt.n

CHICKEN CHoLERA.-This disease
is one Of those intlammatOry blood
disorders which are easier prevented
than cured. When fowls are kept ilf:
clean dry, well-ventilated quarters,
and are supplied with plenty of pure
water. and a frequent change Of foo,l
suitable to their needs, cholera is not
known. On the other hand fowls that
are neglected, or injudiciously treated,
or are even "killed with kindness,n
are a ready prey to- this fatal COM
plaint. Tie remedies are a few tea
spOonfr!,.s Of strong alum water, given
daily tor two or three days; three
drops of sulphuric acid, in teaspoon
full of water, twice day; or boiled
Indian meal made into pellets, in each
of which is mixed one drop of spirits
of turpentine, and q pinch Of red pep

hundred fowls kept in perfect health
for several years by theexercise of the
precautionary measures above sug,

BIS.uARCK TO THE HEAD.

We have neglected in the two last
issues Of the Tribune to refer to the
contract for carrying the Government
freight on the Upper Missouri, which
was awarded On the 18th of January
in Chicago. "A telegram received
from General Manager Mead Of the
Northern Pacific Railroad, by Col.
BrOwnson, states that the n. P. has
the contract for the transportation of
Military freights from Bismarck the
ensuing season.
It is impossible to overate the good
that must result fOw this disposition
of the military contract for the trans
postation Of supplies. In addition to
this, we have it from well authenticat-
ed sources, that military depot of
supplies is to be established at Bis
mark Immediately after the opening
of the Dakota Division of the Rail.
road to the trade of the public in the
spring, thus creating Bismarck, while
yet in it's infancy, a place of import
ance second to none on the Missouri
River. While it is not the province
of this article to present the names Of
any individuals for places should a
Depot be located here, yet we may be
pardoned for DEPRESSING 50 far as to
express the hope that General Dandy,
the present efficient and courteous
Post Quartermaster at Fort Lincoln,
may be assigned to the charge of the
prospective Depot at Bismarck. Our
Sioux City and Yankton congcmpor-
aries might well quit f" "kickiHg against
the pricks,n as Bismarck cannot pos
sibly have tine slightest difficulty in
distancing either Of these places in
competing for the trade and traffic of
the Upper Missouri; and the absurd
stories set afoat by the Sioux City
Journal that our citizens are without
funds, and that Bismarck itself is
nothing but refuge 1or all lawless
of the Northwest, lacking
in the truth as they are, cannot but
rebound to our good in the end. Ma.
licious libels on the whole people ap-
pear to be the stock in trade of OR
Sioux City cOtemporary, and ~e re-
gret that newspaper SO Wei conduct
ed in other respects as the Journal
in this one Respect, speak of a
rival for trade ara travel, without de-
to sJstemized misrepresenta-
tions and libel, disgracefhl to journal
ism and Of no possible benefit to the
cause which it advocates. Bismarck
only asks fair play. To the watchful
care and business tact of General
Manager Mead, Of the N. p. R.>R., are
we indebted for the successful solution
of the transportation problem Oh the
Upper Missouri, and to him should
oIr citizens award the full need of
praise.-Bismarck Tri5Mae.
