fernal machines was dampened some
what by the dread Of danger. How
ever, Mr.. UllmaD, duly backed by his
staff at the iron works, finally ventur-
ed to make an investigation. The
packages were enveloped in straw,
and at every crackle or rustic occa-
stoned by the efforts to investigate an
exhibition OF the most wonderful
athletic power could have been wit
messed. 1t is said by an onlooker that
at one unusually loud rustic" Mr..
Ullman must have jumped at least
sixty feet almost straight up. As
everything has an end so did this, and
the straw was laid aside and three
barrels of Bill Billiards. beer were ex-
posed to view. With inexpressible
relief the beer was tested and as con-
clusion TO the research they drank
copiousiy to the memorable occasion.
Those present at the dance
last night had an opportunity Of
testing the merits Of the explosives al
the cordial invitation of Mr.. Ullman
aad We can answer for II that it re
quired very lengthy test to come te
any definite conclusion. The dane.
was kept up until late hour and q
more delightful and socisble evening
has seldom been spent in Miles City.

A Jolly Birthday Party.

The members of the German society
assembled together last night TO cele-
brate the S7th anniversary of the birth.
day of one of the most distinguished
and podular members Of the club, viz:
Berthold Ullman. A reinforcement
at about IL O'Clock of many Of the rep
resentatives Of the l.. U. s. c. added
greatly to the number Of those present,
and to the excellent music of Schurz
club band dancing was conducted
with the greatest vigor. To Mr.. Ull-
man the day was ND only his birth
day but also an occasion Of the great
est surprise. Mrs. Ullman, as q me-
mento Of the day, presented him with
one of the most elegant and handsome
gold chronometers which we have ever
had the pleasure Of seeing. As q fur.
Their reminder Of the event Mr.. Carl
Wodsltzki came to the fore with q
most unexpected present. Mr.. Ull.
man was surprised in the morning to
receive notice from the Wells, Fargo
express company that there were three
enormous packages awaiting him at
the Office from st. Paul. The pack
ages were duly sent for and delivered,
but on examination they were found
to be marked, Explosive; with care"

There Is scarcely day passes but
that from three to five letters are re-
ceived by the JOURNAL asking for in
formation regarding eastern Montana
in general, and particularly Miles
City, which seems to be more talked
of abroad than any other place except
st. Paul. Constituting ourselves a
bureau of information we invariably
reply briefly to the enquiries and send
copy of the WEEKLY JOURNAL,
whose gaudy appearance cannot fail
to charm the tenderfoot unused to any
tint of newspaper save sickly white.
Below we give two of the letters re-
ceived yesterday, each Of which con-
tain points Of interest to our readers,
particularly the one from Mr.. Bru-
baker, which is so circumstantial in
style as to suggest the idea that the
writer felt it incumbent on him to
give full and true account Of himself
before applying for admission into the
territory:

Damming the Slough.

Yesterday, Col. Bryan, chairman Of
the board of county commissioners,
Col. G. p. Comstock, Geo. s. Scheetz
and JoURNALITE, visited the mouth
of Tongue river, where the party was
Joined by Matt Elgin. L. c. Currier
and A. q. Schmalsle. The object Of
the trip was to view the ravages being
made in the upper portion Of the is
land where Tongue river empties into
the Yellowstone, by the combined
currents of the two streams, and to as
certain what benefits would be derived
by damming the head Of the slough
with q permanent and well construct
ed dam. To those who have not Wis
tied this locality since the time, three
years ago when the Diamond r were
running logs and ties into the slough,
very great change is apparent. The
island, which was then from 200 to 300
feet wide, has, at point just below
where Whalen's barn was located,
been reduced to mere nothing and
the waters of Tongue river 1.-THE main
stream of which now flows into the
slough) and the Yellowstone are bare
ly divided by a strip of land not ten
feet wide at the base and sloping up
wards TO less than two feet. The COM
ing breakup Of the rivers will newt
ably wash out this weak barrier, and
divert a good portion of the Yellow
stone into the slough, where aug
mented by the water of the
Tongue much damage will unques-
tionably be done to the lower island
by this great volume Of water. 1t
was the opinion of those present that q
dam such as mentioned above, placed
across the slough, below the break In
the island referred to would perms.
nently turn the waters of Tongue
river into the Yellowstone at this
point. and coniine the latter stream to
its own channel, thus affording wide
mouth for the discharge of the Tongue
river. and lessening in q great degree
the dangers of the ice gorge at its
mouth, which has In former years
been the invariable cause of the over
flows we have had in the town. The
dam would also be Of great benefit In
leaving the bed Of the slough below Il
dry, thus obviating the necessity o
the county building an expensive
bridge across it, which IL left oper
must soon be done to accommodate,
the large cattle interests Of the norti
side. Such q bridge would cost tn,
county not less than 1900, while tn
dam can be constructed, it IL esti
mated. for less than 900. Even II
the past, the slough at seasons of higl
water has been very dangerou
stream to cross. and when the Yellow
stone adds to Its volume, as 1t Ger
tainly will do this spring, il will b.
well nigh impassable, 1t would seen
that the dam project is both measur,
of economy and safety. and no tim,
should be lost after the high water Of
the breakup subsidies to carry II int
execution.
