Iarrivcd here to-day, having come over the It.
Regis and Occur d. Alene mountains, which Is
the worst obstacle for emigrants coming from the
east left Potter and his outfit ut the Missouln
river crossing, 10 miles east of here. The waters
in the rivers were too high for him to cross, and
the road-bed all washed away, SO that he cannot
get across for month.
One tcan with three men, started from where
wc left Potter, to with me, but had to
| give it up. Then another party joined nc where
| they stopped with ponies, and came nearly to the
summit Of the mountain, and then gave it up
| and came on alone. and had sorry and rough
| trip. But after swimming streams climbing
mountains and wallowing through snow from
! three to five feet deep, am now where l can
reach Spokane Falls in safety. My horse STUN
blcd, fell and rolled down a cliff, hurting my
knee some, so that will have to lay up for few
| lays.
! This Isl Catholic Indian mission, in old,
queer and quaint place. They have a large
Catholic church, erected over fifty years ago, and
is fast going to ruin l am stopping with the
priest at his residence, and enjoy the surround
in.s hugely. Some of the Indians arc going to a
fort thirty miles cast of here tonight, and will
: mail this.
left Potter pretty blue and rather short Of pro
visions, and have not had an overabundace my
self Yesterday only had nleal-that Wa
breakfust-and bad one at that. Hereafter
will fare better and have better roads, Hope t.
reach the railroad about July Sth There is d
party Of emigrants here waiting to get over the
mountains, who have been through Washington
and Oregon, and arc going back to Dakota t
