In regard to chances for employment for
men at the new post OH Tongue river, Lieut..
Doane writes: "There are various rumors
afloat regarding the new post at the mouth
of Tongue river which it would be to the
interest of the people to have corrected. No
scouts are wanted. Twelve white
men were to be Hired as scouts, but
they were to have special knoWl-
edge of sections of the country iii the yicini-
ty of the post. They are all. or, nearly all,
engaged already. W~oodchoppers could get
employment if supplied with provisions for
the winter. A dairy would be q success,
if the stock was not run off by the Sioux.
Men going must expect to take desperate
chances. No mechanics nor ci~tizen-einploy-
ees are wanted"
