ed as also moving with the wind, which was

The Scientific american of July 9TH gives
an illustration of a new propeller for steam
boats, introduced by Eli Hunt, of n. y. a
gentleman of much experience in the bust
ness, an account of which will be found OH
our eighth page. Should this new invention
perform what is claimed for it, the naviga-
ton of the Yellowstone and upper Missouri
will become as easy, and be performed with
as much dispatch as the Ohio or Mississippi.
1t is proposed by the new propeller to hurry
a boat along at the remarkably rapid rate of
80 uliles an hour, which will be sufficient to
stem the current of our mountain rivers at
any stage of water. 1t is said to operate
well in shallow streams, and hence will defy
even a majority of our rapids. Montana
will look with interest to Il practical test of
this invention. If crowned with success,
we may confidently expect to see boats ply
inc above the falls on the Missouri in IA few
years.

UP THE BITTER ROOT.
After resting two days in Missoaaa we
crossed over the Ilellgate riverr to th@soutn
side and turned to the right taking the
ro%aA down the valley. The valley proper,
from here to the mouth of the Bitter Root
river, varies from Il halt mile to Il mile and
Il half i'm width, but the bench land which is
but IL few feet higher than the bostoM Ian
is considerable wider. Most of it is good
soil and doubtless will some day be owned
and occupied by farmers. Two miles be-
low the bridge we halted at d. L. Simmons
farm. Mr. s. has the Largest field Of corn
we have ever seen in Montana. It covers
over an asea of about thirty acres, is about
a foot high and looks we'll. He IS also Gull
tivating Il considerable crop Of potatoes.
Passing ON we left two or three very pref
ty frms to essr right, and passed over to
the bank Of Bitter Root and called upon
Mr.. Thos Foley. Mr.. f.. is one OF the first
farmers oft u is section, having located near
here in '63. He has Il choice farm, good
crops growing, and plenty of cattle and.
horses grazing upon the grassy plains that
surround him.
About . mile above Mr.. Faleyfs we Wis
tied Capt. NJ. McCaulay> whose neat t;,rm
house is locatela just kahind 81 rounded hill
that stands agsinst the river bank and slopes
back upon tlaa plains. Capt. NcCaulay's
fine farm is npon the opposite OF the river
from his home lie has, however IL large
pasture and some garden land upon the
home side. He was getting his machinery
i'll readiness for making hay. His nearest
neigllbor is Mr.. Edward Hays, whose resi-
dence is just across the river. Mr. Ills
farm joins Capt. McCaulay's, and the two,
eXtend back to the hills which: rise glmdllal~
ly against the mountains, upon which there,
is a beautiful forest of large pins. These
locations are such that they cannot be- sur
rounded and fenced in by other tanners.
Their tiaaher supply is plentiful, and their
pasture. land is almost inexlaustible.

The Chico Outrage on Chinese.

San Francisco, March 16.-A Chico
dispatch says increased excitement pre-
walls there over the massacre of the
Chinese night before last. To-day a
public meeting was held, largely attend
ed by the most influentiYl citizens. Res
olutions were passed deprecating the
crime committed and pledging the citi-
zens to use all means possible to bring
the perpetrators to justice. A commit
tee was appointed to further that end.
The excitement was intensified by the
discovery of a placard OIL the office door
of what is known as the Keefer rancho,
cautioning the proprietor against en-
ploying, on peril of destruction of his
property, Chinese. Gardeners in the vi
cinity have had notices printed, warn
ing all persors about approaching their
premises after dark, as they will be In
danger from the guards posted for their
own protection. Cinnamon started for
San Francisco to-day, to procure from
the Chinese companies 81 900 to be Of
fered as a reward for the apprehension
and conviction of the murderers. 1t
has been assei ted that recent outrages
on the Chinese had been prompted by
action of the Sierra Flume company, in
discharging whites and employing Chi
nese in their places, but the company
stated that no whites had been discharg-
ed in the last two months and no extra
Chinese employed. A strong DISPOSE
tion has been evinced to hold the Or
der of Caucasians at least morally re-
sponsible for the outrage. though men,
bers of the order strenuously deny any
such responsibility, and assert a will
ingness to assist in the apprehension of
the criminals. The job of clearing the
land on which the murdered Cinnamon
were engaged, had been offered to
whites at four dollars per acre more
than the Cinnamon received, but was
declined.

likely to be the scene of exciting events
within the next few days. At the
Packard meeting last night, every man
present signed pledge to uphold the
Packard government by force, and to
begin at onc's enlisting the Republicans
of the State to a similar pledge. A res
olution was adopted, appointing COM
mittee to commence the enrolment of
militiamen in Packard's service. The
meeting adopted u resolution asking the
Republican State executive committee
to cause political campaign clubs to be
at once, for the purpose of
holding a Republican mass meeting.
Packard proposes to make desperate
effort in the shape of physical force, to
show the President that the Packard
government is not altogether govern
ment of straw, and although he does
not expect to be able to whip the White
League, he does expect by armed resis-
tance to compel the President to inter-
fere, and he is confident that il he can
invoke the issue in that form the result
is bound to land him on the winning
side.

has been given Packard that five thou
