And lighted the years with CHASTITY glare,
A second year, and a second to spare

The Herald announces that ''Surveyor.
General Smith has awarded contracts fol
public surveys to the amount Of the ap'
preparation for the fiscal year commenc'
ing July /, 1877. Messrs. DeLacy & Kel.

ready In the field. Their work for the
season will be confined 10 the huscleshell
country. The remainder of The appropria
ton is embraced in contract awarded to
Mr.. Linn. Mcfarland, who will soon take
the field In Deer Lodge county, where h'e
instructions direct him."
We had hoped for survey upon the xe'-

taiuly think this section 10 Is much in
need Of attention as the Muscleshell coun
TRY. and more 20, and that portion OF
the appropriation should have been ex'
pended upon the line Of the Yellowstone.

We mentioned last week the fact that
Major Beuham, commanding, had exerted
himself to retain the Cavalry detachment
sent to M:ssoula. We are sdvised that he
ss we'll did everything possible to secure
retention of the Infantry, but without
effect. The result is the depletion of the

assistance In case Of local Indian raid.
