NAVIGATION OF TIRE YELLOW
STONE RIVER.

The future prospects of Eastern Montana
brighten with each succeeding season, At
ter an unusually mild winter and conse-
quent low water during the early part OF
the boating season, the navigability Of the
Yellowstone river has again been practic-
ally demonstrated by the arrival of no less
than three large Missouri river steamers,
heavily loaded. as far as Sherman. or the
mouth of Big Horn. and about 23O miles
| from BoZeman. The General Sherman ar
rived at mouth of Big Horn on the 10Th of
May and actually ran 4G miles up this trib-
utary Of this 80 called'' havigable stream.
The General Rucker arrived at Sherman
on the 9Th inst. and the Yellowstone en-
the 9th inst. the latter boat intending
to proceed further up the river with her
cargo. although it is now generally ac-
knowlcdged that she is of too heavy draft
to successfully navigate the Upper Yellow
stone during ordinary stages of water.
The facts above stated are worth thous-
and theories and brush aside as cobwe5s
all the cnvious predictions which have been
made for the purpose of belittling this
grand old river and discouraging the ilea
of its utility AZ !. navigablc stream. For
three years in Succession large steamers
have assembled the Yellowstone distance
of between 300 and 400 miles from its
mouth. with less difficulty and fewer acct
dents than attended the navigation of the
Upper Missouri ten to fifteen years ago.
With properly constructed boats and a
lew comparatively inexpensive improve
ments on two or three rapids Of tn" river.
We still hold to the opinion that ne Vel ,
owstone can and will be successfully navi- .
rated to point at least as near to BoZc-
nan as Benton is to Helena.

REDUCING THE ARMY.
General GfbbOn ON Bounding Ban
nfnE's scheme to Reduce the
Army.

Washington, June 3.-General Gibbon,
of the army. has written a very pointed
letter to Bounding Banning, the great army
reducer, in regard to the misrepresenta-
tons made in the recent speech of Ban
ning's regarding the reduction of the army.
In his letter he says: ''In your general
statement that our army is over differed,
you state the ratio at about one officer to
eleven, but in supporting your statement
by referring to the muster rolls of the army
you select special cases, and by means of
them make the facts to appear even worse
than they are, and then say that this simple
statement of the condition of our army, I'M
der its present organization, presents an
unanswerable argument iii favor of re-Or-
ganization. To make the disproportion
between the officers and men greater you
enumerate non-commissiOned officers with
officers forgetting or ignoring the fact that
every one of the former and most of the
latter are soldiers with rifles in their hands,
who perform exactly the same duty in an
Irdian fight as Il private SOLDIER
1t seems that Banning took Gibbons
regiment, the Seventh Infantry, as an ex-
ample in his speech to prove the truth of
his assertion. and took its muster-rOll at
dale Immediately after its fight with the |
NeZ Perces Indians last summer, in which
fight about one-half the regiment were
either killed or wounded. Gcnl GibbOn
goes on to say: '.lfa gentleman like your
