WASHINGTON, Jan. lS.-Col, Barlow,
United States engineer at Chattanooga,

opinion Big Bear creek, In Tennessee

mont for the reason that it is the natural
and NJ present only available outlet for the
heavy trade in hogs and lumber and other
products Of the counties through which Il
flows seeking the navigable waters Of the
Tennessee at Eastport, Tenn, and that the
proposed improvement Of thirty or thirty
five miles from its mouth would provide
for the present demands by greatly bcne-
filing the passage Of RATS and nat-boat
navigation, thus tending to provide for the
prospective increase Of commerce Of like
character. Col. Barlow states that Il would

Notes.
Miles Cry, NJ. T., Jan. 1S.-The storm
in this portion OF the Yellowstone valley
is not so violent as east Of here. The
greatest snowfall is about ten inches, light
and dry, driitcd by wind and exposing the
elevated ground. All reports from stock
ranges are terrible. No lossyet. The cold,
which has been intense, is now moderat-
ing and 800 above zero. Stock went into
the winter in fine condition. The general
belief is they will come through all right
unless unusually cold aud stormy weather
follows.
