A Good Opinion of Northern Montana.

John A. Chatter and J. @. Gregg ar
rived in the city Wednesday night from
the Great Falls of the Missouri, where
they had sojourned a time viewing the
scenery and at the same time looking
out for a possible opening for an invest
ment. Mr.. Gregg went down the river
yesterday on the Dacotah and Mr.. Cha.
ter is still in the city, a guest at the
Grand Union hotel. A RIVER PRESS
representative had a pleasant interview
with Mr.. G. last evening. He says the
statement made by the Independent in
reference to their visit to the falls is not
very well founded, but that their travels
through Montana are with the view of
making investments if the opportunity
presents itself. MI. G. is simply de-
lighted with northern Montana. and
thinks Fort Benten is the chief town.
He had heard a great deal about the
Yellowstone valley, but found it quite
different from what he had expected,
and was agreeably surprised to find the
northern portion Of the territory, con-
corning which nothing is said in the
east-a section of wonderful III
and equal in his estimation to the most
favored portions of Dakota. The good
opinion Mr.. Chatter has formed of north
ern Montana is a pretty clear indication
that he will cast his lot among us, or at
least become identified with some Of the
varied interests Of this section. We
trust he will do SO,

Harris & Rowe last night completed
the purchase of all the mares, between
100 and 120, in the Paget band of horses.
The animals are all well bred, and will

the same gentleman a fine Bellfounder
stallion.
Bismarck, the principal river town Of
Dakota, becomes the capital of the ter

Major w. P. Turner writes us from
Nashville, Tenn, that he shipped his
lot of Jerseys on the 25th ult., and he
expects to arrive in Fort Benton with
them about the LIST Of July, somewhat
later than he expected. The animals
have been selected with reference to the
superiority of their dams, some of the
latter having a record of two pounds of
butter a day, and all being large mixers.
Any of our readers desiring nice mich
cows should defer their purchases until
Major Turner arrives.
Capt. M. E. O'Brien, Second cavalry,
arrived in ST. Paul on the 9th ult. from
Fort Assinaboine, with four prisoners,
whom he took to Fort Smelling. One
of the prisoners, Private Dorsey of troop
H, is under sentence of five years inn
prisonment for stabbing a comrade last
fall, and the other prisoners are sem
fenced to two years imprisonment each
for desertion. Capt. O'Brien was ac-
companied by his wife and family and
by Mrs. Capt. Norwood and Miss Gill.
He has leave of absence at that point,
and will go east with the ladies.

ports having secured a big lot of robes,

saw scarcely a score of buffalo where
formerly at this time of year there were
millions almost.
