Bismarck Tribune: mo one could be
charged with being an alarmist if be feared
food in the upper country similar to the
recent foods in The Southwestern States. The
mountains and valleys of Montana are still
covered with deep snow; the booming waters
in that Territory are already doing much
damage. The Yellowstone river is IL feet
above low water mark, and still rising. The
Missouri at Benton is bank-full, and yet
there is no sign OF the freshet subsiding. A
few days of rain would very naturally in
crease the disasters of the food now raging
above in our sister Territory. From all ac-
counts the tide in the river at this point has
not reached its hight by several feet. Mou-
tana is drained by the two great rivers which
join their waters at Fort Bnford, and as all
their tributaries in that region are on the
rampage, the freshet already raging in the
Zig Muddy will, OF course, be increased"
