. The Bozeman people are very idig-
nant that the Yellowstone did not pur-
sue its course to the Big Horn for had
it renamed in the Yellowstone two

Guilty and teams were on hand to re-

The. Western left Fort Benton on
Saturday morning, June I'd at 8 a. m 1,
arriving at Bismarck June 5th. To the
pilot of. the Westrn we are indebted
for the following facts: The Benton
was in port when the Western left and
will arrive to-day IS she intended to
leave on. Sunday. When the Western
left the river lacked only 19 inches
Of its highest stage last season and was
rising at the rate of half inch an hour
with heavy rains to come in.
The Muscle Shell and Yellowstone
were falling when they were past but
both had been very high. At Buford
the banks had been overaown and: the
water had reached the government
warehouse though no damage was done.
The Yellowstone had fallen Is inches
whom tho " Western reached that point.
The boats of the Davidson fleet were
getting onislowly owing to the exceed
ingly high water and rapid current,
and the Rankin met with much difficult
tysin rounding the big bend.

ing private freight for Tongue River.
Including all stops the Western was

ing from Benton to Bismarck.

q rumor that the Government will i'm
mediately contract with Capt. Barmore,

the place of the Cameron.
The Pittsburg Dispatch of the 26t h
has the following to say about the Rose
bud and the Big Horn: The above new
and handsome steam ers take their de-
parture to-day for Fort Benton direct.
These boats were built for : the noun
tain trade regardless of expense and are
: credit to Pittsburgh and all concern
ed in the construction. The Rosebud
will be commanded by Capt. NJ. Coul-
son, an. old time Missouri river boat
man. The first clerk is our old friend
Capt. John A. Dales, who has sheen
there before" and knows all about it..
The Big Horn will be in charge of Capt
W. S. Evans, an experienced officer and
/ clever gentleman. The first clerk is
Mr.. W. S. Evans, Jr., chip OF the old
block. These boats have been visited
by large number of boatmen. and
there was but one opinion in regard to
their general adaptation to the Missouri
river trade. Our best wishes go with
the Rose bud and Big Horn.
