Donation Claims.

Ed. ISTELLIGENcER Il send you the
accompanying letter for publication.
With the following explanation, show
ing the importance and necessity of my
action in the premi,es. l found from
an examination of ire records in Wash
ington City. that there was a very
large number of Donation Claims. some
of them among the oldes. in Oregon
and Washington Territory; that there
was nothing there to show the condi.
ton Of those claims. The donation
law fixed no time in which the anal
proof should be made. The proofs of
the settlement. age, &c, Of the claim
ant or donor, under the law existed in
the form of papers in proper pigeon
holes in wooden buildings, liable to be
consumed by FIRE at any moment.
Should such . calamity occur it would
be next to impossible in many cases. to
supply the proof of the date of settle
ment, the age of the donor and his ma
tivity, hence l urgently solicited the
detailing Of some clerk, from the land
department, to come out to this Terri
tory and to Oregon, to visit the differ
ent local land offices where these pre-
liminsry proofs were, and to have an
abstract of these proofs made and said
abstracts sent on to the fire proof build
ings at Washington, so Is to have said
abstract in the local Offices and have
these paper proofs sent on to
Warrington, so that in case OF
the destruction of these paper
records by FIRE or otherwise these dona-
ton settlers 'or their vouchers should
not suffer irreparable injury. In this
matter, it 10 but justice to say, l was
aided BY Senator Mitchell.
Col. Kline. the gentleman who has
been detailed for this work, has had
charge Of donation claims for some years
and is every way competent for the
work. o. JACOBS.
WASHINGTON. d. c.. Sept. IS, 1878.
Hon. O. JAcoBs:-Referring to your
letter OF the 3lst inst. requesting that
q competent clerk be mt to the Pacific
Coast to investigated Sertsin donation
claims in Oregon and Washington Ter.
ritory. h1ve the homer to state tina.
on the e0th day of August last
Mr.. R. B. Kinue. clerk in this Office
who is thoroughly conversant with thi.
class Of claims, was detailed on special
service to investigate and report upon
the condition Of certain donation
claims, under act of Sept. q, 1850, still
remaining unadjudicsted in the sever 81
local land Offices in the State of Oregon
and Territory of Washington. aud soon
thereafter left this place for Oregon
City. where it il presumed. he will be.
gin his lsbors - special agent in the
Investigation of this class of claims.

the fact that the roads were in a very bad

Methodist church building-the largest
audience room in town-was we'll filled at
an early hour by rs intelligent and appre-
ciative an audience as was ever called to-
gether in Bozeman.
: fhe lecturer spoke very earnestly and

audience throughout the entire hour that
was required for the delivery OF the lecture.
The lecture being held in a church, the
people present were 10th to express their
feelings, but some portions of the lecture
being too good to pass. without the usual

Navigation OF the Yellowstone this

Up to this date the only application to

the East ria the Yellowstone river has
been made by the owners OF the steamer
yellowstone" and we are pleased to be
able to state that they were successful in
obtaining load. The Yell owstone'' will
leave st. Louis on the 10th of April and
river as far as Coulson, at which point a
large train will be in readiness to trans
port the goods the remainder Of the dis
lance overland to Bozeman. Lumber will
also be on TIE ground at Coulson to build
large warehouse, where goods, that can
not be moved Immediately will be stored.
Should the yellowstone fail to reach
this point, the train will move down to the
highest point reached by the boat. taking
the material for the warehouse with it,
After making the first trip the yellow
stone'' will ply between the point reached
and Bismarck for the remainder of the
season. As before stated. the yellow
stone" has secured all the load it wants
but we learn from A. Lamme 4 Co. that
should parties in BOzeman desire to ship
small amounts Of freight by their boat on
its first trip, they will ship such portions
of their own freight as they will not need
Immediately to Bismarck and bring it up
on the second trip. The only rates made
SO far, are S4.75 and $500 per hundred
pounds between St. Louis and Bohemian.
Rates will be established, however, between
here and other cities East, thus giving us
the advantage Of knowing just what our
freight will cost us delivered here. A..
Lamme s. Co. have adopted wise plan in
giving shippers through rates. We shall
watch with interest the navigation of the
Yellowstone river, and we hope the efforts
of the owners of the yellowstone will
be crowned with success, financially and
otherwise.
