and the Gallatin Valley. The distance
from Fort Custer to Bozeman is less than
two hundred and fifty miles, over good
route. with easy grades, and well supplied
with wood and PURE water. and good
road can no doubt be found which will
shorten it to distance otto exceed two
hundred miles. while the distance from
Bozemsn to Fort Benton, the nearest
point Of shipment on the MissoIri, is
about two hundred and seventy miles,
Il is to be hoped that the citizens of the
Gallatin Valley will take hold of this mat
ter and make thorough exploration from
BozeMan to the mouth of the Big Horn,
an time to have one or more light draft
boats suited to the river ready for the
trade the coming year, in case that por-
zion of the TiSeF is found suitable for
