FIRST TRANSATLANTIC STEAMER.


~ Was an American Vessel Using Both
sails and Steam.
The first steamer to cross the atlantic
was an American vessel called the Sa-
vannah. She was steamship, and used
both sails aud steam, and was built by
Crocker & Fickett at Corlear's Hook in
New York city. The present belief is
that she was built by a party of capital
lists who intended to sell her to some
ooreign monarch. She was commanded
~ Captain Moses Rogers and was q
hip rugged vessel Of hsarly 400 tons.
6he had . horizontal engine, which was
placed between her decks, and her boil
ers were in the lower hold.
Il is generally admitted that the Sa-
vannah sailed from New York IN 1919,
going to Savannah, her namesake, in
seven days, four of which she used
steam. There she was chartered by the
.isy corporation to go to Charleston to
tAke President Monroe, who was then
travelling through the states on pleas
ure excursion. He failed to accept the
invitation, and the boat returned to Sa-
vannah. After remaining at this port
for some days and taking out parties
Of curiosity as well as pleasure seekers
the Savannah sailed for Liverpool,
reaching it after voyage of is days,
seven of which were made under steam.
The arrival of the strange looking YES
sci, with huge clouds of smoke ascend
ing from her decks and obscuring her rig
ging, caused nuite commotion when
ol~ f.ao,rsafs -, off
the city of Cork, and the commander of
the British man-of-war lying in the
harbor thought she was vessel in dis
tress and sent two cutters TO board her
Everything found all right, however.
the Savannah was allowed to proceed
ON her way, and thousands of people
greeted her as she steamed up the Mer-
sey to Liverpool with the American
flag flying at her head. The Savannah
then made a trip to Cops nhagen, Cron-
stadt and St. Petersburg and then re-
turned to this country, where she was
relieved of her steam apparatus and
for many years ran as packet between
New York and SavanI All. finally going
ashore and breaking I . on Long Island.
The Savannah was, of course. a side
wheeler. and as it "as impossible to
carry a sufficient supply of fuel in her
10 keep up steam Oh a long voyage her
wheels were removed during good sail
ing weather and canvas substituted
Tho king of Sweden wanted to buy the
boat when it was abroad, but the deal
went through. Now, those are the facts
about the first steamship that ever cross
ed the Atlantic ocean. n.-Washington

amount SO returned being s64 $500.
The motion being put Messrs. Hammond
and Watson voted aye, Mr.. Harmon nay.
The motion prevailed.
The following motion was made by
Mr.. Harmon, who moved its adoption:
Whereas, 1t has come to the knowl-
edge of the Board of County Commits
sioners of Custer County, Montana, sitt-
! ing as a Board Of Equalization, through
communication made by the State Board
~ Equalization TO the Clerk Of this
Board. that the said State Board Of
Equalization has by order increased the
valuation Of cattle in Custer County,
.GS2 per cent and horses of said county
.1Ss per cent for the year 1885,; therefore
be il,
Resolved. BY this Board. that in the
estimation and opinion OF this Board
such increase is wholly unjust to the
stock owners and taxpayers OF Custer
County. and this Board desires to state
! to the Honorable State Board OF Equa
lization. that while stock cattle we're
assessed 10y the Assessor in the County
OF Custer for the year 1894 at (si6.00)
sixteen dollars per head. IL is represented
to this Board, on sufficient evidence,
which the Board wholly credits and now
believes, that such assessment was too
high. and that the same ought To be in
the matter of equalization decreased in
stead OF increased. This Board has
abundant evidence now before ii that
sales Of cattle have been made in this
County during the current three months
past al sli.JO To $1,000 per head. to be
delivered by the seller The highest
price obtained TOR any cattle sold in this
County. 50 far as the evidence appears
before this Board. is cl6,oO per head. and
the lowest price that has been given IL
sl4.JO, the seller in every case TO gather
and deliver the cattle. the cost OF winch.
according 10 the evidence before this
Board, Is from 800 TO $500 per head.
These are the prices for which cattle
have been sold in Custer county this
season. In no case has this Board been
informed of any sale higher than $1,000
per head and to this price. AZ before
stated is attached the condition. the sci
ler delivering the cattle at the cost as
above stated, 50 that this Board is en-
tirely convinced that the assessment OF
sl6.OO as made by the assessor Of this
county is too high. and that such as
sessultul ought 10 De reduced rather
than increased. In relation to the mat
Ter Of horses, this Board can state to the
State Board of Equalization, what il
perhaps generally known, that there is
almost no sale at all for horses in this
section OF the state. at any price, such
stock almost literally has no marketable
value at all.
In view of these facts. this Board re-
spectfully request the Honorable State
Board Of Equalization not TO increase the
valuation on either cattle or horses in
this county. but to at least leave the
valuation Of such property where il was
placed 10y the assessor of the county
which. IN the judgment Of this Board
as already stated. was too high.

1t is true, there are certain times

General Antonio Ezeta and his fellow

prisoners before Judge Morrow in

terday morning. Attorneys for the
Salvadorian government were present
and asked for a continuance.
Counsel for the prisoners demanded
an immediate hearing under the
charges. They stoutly maintained
that they were political refugees and
were unlawfully detained and that
they had been Illegally restrained
since June last.
The attorneys for the government
of San Salyad6r argued as earnestly
to show the justice of continuance.
After list ming TO the arguments
Judge Morrow continued the case
until Monday, September 3, declaring
that the treaty with Salvador pro-

the delay asked for was not un-

The panoramic exhibition OF town
site boards in the Cherokee strip is
fading away. The octopus that has
had its fangs buried in the purse of
the taxpayer and the teat of the gov
ernment the past clght months is
being crushed TO death by the sccre-
tary of the interior. It's carcass win
doc btlcss create a smell but 1t is
hoped the secretary viii plant it
deep.
Why these boards were allowed to
exist so long is mystery to Oklaho-
ma people. They soon served their
usefulness; after that they piled up
expense. Elsewhere is published u
letter from the interior department
announcing the closing of boards 4
and and the turning over of un-
finished business TO the local townste
board. 1T is hoped all other townsite
boards will follow suit. Townsite
trusteea are paid in the same manner
as all other per diem officers Of the
government, for the time actually
engaged i'm the discharge of their
duties. They have no right to expect
or receive compensation for a single
day when not 50 employed. As stated
the majority of the boards in the
strip have wound up their work, and
they should be squelched before max.
ing further inroads on government
cash and thereby relieve inhabitants
Of the townsites under their control
from unnecessary delays, fees and
