subscription, has raised $4o9 from friends
in Philadelphia. Hon. W. c. Pauw, of

Rev. j. NJ. Bull has procured from friends
IN the states $50. So 1t appears that thus
far only $445 has been paid by citizens OF
Bismarck ana it is quite likely that the

promise to "raise dollar from abroad for
every dollar subscribed at home" AS so
much is being done by those who have no
interest here toward improving and beau

James River Navigation.

For some time past the people of the
James river valley have been excited over
the prospec, ola steamer being built at
jamestown to navigate this river of i'm
mense length but otherwise small dimen-
sions. The matter came to focus on the
first of May when the little craft called
the Nellie Baldwin was successfully
launched amid the firing of cannon and
the hu zzas of the natives that had assem-
bled from miles around to witness the
scene. A special dispatch from James
town SAYS that at least 200 people wit
messed the scene, and that the steamer is a
beauty and reflects great credit On Cap
ta;ns Wilson and Smith, who had the
matter in charge The little beauty draws
but seven inches OF water and will navigate
the liver from Jamestown to Columbia
some 200 miles, below. FORTY miles down =
town has been laid out called Grand Rap
ids and already has quite population.
The steamers hull is 14x75, and Duilt ex-
.presSly for low water. Shouldn't be found
necessary in the increase of trade in that
coul try to make trips below the rapids
the boat would probabl Y be lifted out and
that part of the river fo rded rs an Indian
would get over rapids with a canoe. The
enterprise is worthy of the push" of The
good people Of q amestown and is already
an insured success.

A game of base ball, the first Of the sea-.

parade ground last Sunday between the.
Active club of IL" Co., It'll Cavalry, and
a club from the hill or the old post. TIE
game was called at p. M. with the hiIt
club at the bat. The play lasted two hours
and half and was won Ivy the Actives by
a score of fifteen to six Inc Actives are
an old organization, having played in Bis
marcI: on several occasions, while the hilt
boys made their first appearance at this
match and did the best fielding by all
odds, their weakest point being at the bat
The captain of the hill boys stood first
base and won much applause for his su-
pelior playing. The Actives made some
fine double plays. The above is con
densed from special dispatch to TnE
TRIBUNE which closes by saying that thr
Lincoln clubs are anxious to gee the Bis
marck boys over there, that they ,aAr
show the Actives how to play.

SCHEME.
THE RESERVOIR SYSTEM ON
THE MISSOURI RIVER.
The Yellowstone Lake Can be UtiI-
lied as q Water Reservoir.
Especial Correspondence of The Tri6une.)

Especial Correspondence Of The Tri6une.)
BRUNSWICK, Mo. April 30, $780,
Feeling deep interest in Bis
marck and her vast. river privileges, ]
wish to make a few suggestions to furth-
er her interest. AS you are probably
aware the reservoir system has been
agltated in Congress. I have been ad
vocating the same system for the head
waters of the Yellowstone river for the
last two years with river men and army
officers with whom I have come in con-
tact. The immense water Of Yellow
stone Lake is the reservoir already made
by natures hand, and only waits the skill
of man TO deeper its outlet which Profes-
sor Hayden in his report says is about
three feet deep, and put in flood gates
and open them about the 1st of Aug ust
That will afford ample water for boati u 6
purposes, the balance of the season. ..-t
This lake is twenty five miles long and
from three hundred to five hundred feet
deep, in my opinion. If Montana and
Dakota will agitate this scheme, it Will be
but a short time before this great and
beneficial work will be done. ns
The following article from one of our
great dailies will be of interest to all
these engaged in the navigation of the
Yellowstone and Missouri river:
1.-THE reservoir system for controlling
the floods of the Mississippi is attract
ing equal attention from Representatives
in Congress from districts bordering on
the Missouri, the Red, the Arkansas, and
other great tributaries of the Mississippi
River. Mr.. Platt Walker, of St. Paul, re-
Gently appeared before the Committee
on Commerce and asked that an appro~
priation be Incorporated in the River
aod harbor bill instructing the engineers
to ascertain whether the reservoir system
would not be applicable to the Missouri
and other tributaries of the Mississippi as
means Of controlling the floods which
now devastate the regions bordering on
the Lower Mississippi. 1t is claimed by
the friends of the reservoir system that
all these great streams have, at points on
their upper waters a series OF natural ba-
sins, which, with but little outlay, can be
utilized To hold these floods until the sea-
son OF low water, when their gradual
outlet could be accomplished, not only
without damage, but with benefits to com
merce. There are already a sufficient
number interested in this proposition to
insure a liberal appropriation for u recon-
noissancc at the head waters Of these wa
ters'
Knowing the deep interest that TIE
TRIBUNE takes in all that pertains to the
welfare of Montana and Dakota, I know
you will do your duty
The TRIBUNE comes to me regular
and is dcvoured with avidity. l appre-
hend a bright future for her, and wish
I could cast my lot with you. -r.a.
The weather here is fine and our fruit
trees are looming to their fullest capacity
with a bountiful harvest promised in the
near future. Ht

The Fire.:

An alarm of fire was turned in from
District No. 2, Monday afternoon, caused
by the burning of a log barn owned by
Hugh McGarvey, on Second street, above
Thayer. The fire obtained good headway
before the arrival Of the engine and the
dark clouds of smoke driven over the city
by high wind, caused the citizens to
gather from all points. The work of des-
truction lasted but few moments, the fire
company preventing my further spread.
Two valuable moving machines, straw
cutter, two pair bob-sleighs, fifty wagon
covers, 100 pounds of feed and a quantity
of hay was destroyed. Billy Pennell
was the first to get his horses hitched to
the engine, thereby drawing the $40 prize.
