The Herald Is In receipt Of news from PF
Lindgren & Co., Of Selfish, Missoula county,
that they have equipped and launched the
first steamboat on Flathead Lake, in the
shape of a steam yacht of twenty tons bur-
denr called the U. 8. Grant. p. f. Lindgren
himself also put the first sail boat on the
same waters, and with his usual enterprise
he now comes to the front In the firm who
have just inaugurated this new departure.
That the steamer will prove success to the
company we have no doubt. The annual re-
currence Of the sporting season brings in
creased numbers of tourists and sportsmen
TO this picturesque spot, and in few years

resort for Montanians. If we mistake not,
