fort on New Years day, 1873, with the
thermometer at q temperature OF 30
degrees below zero, and started across
the 200 miles Of country between the
Missouri and Red rivers, a country prac-
tically unknown, unsettled and unex-I
plored, and arrived at Moorhead after q
trip Of seven days and six nights, having;
been one of the very first to open a trail
between the two rivers. On this trips he
was accompanied by his wife, who was
probably the first white woman to trav-
erse the country between Bismarck end
Fargo, owe which now, q smoothly roll
ing palace car makes the trip in eight
hours.
Lieutenant Narcotic was retired from
service in 1873, and since that time has
been engaged with newspaper work in
the south. His trip at this time is part
" in the interests Of the railroad system
which he represents, and partly out of a.
personal curiosity to revisit the scenes
of his frontier experience. He is an in
teresting conversationalist, and talks en-
tertainingly of early days-even earlier,
than are included in the "reminiscences.
Of old time Bismarckers. His first i'm
PRODUCTION to the present site of Bis
marck, was when it was naught but a.
portion Of the desolate expanse Of prairie.
not distinguished IN any way from the,
thousands of surrounding acres. Again..
he saw it when it boasted naught but
the old buildings at Camp Hancock, re-
enforced by a saloon which was half
canvas and half dug out, one or two.
tents, and q handful of settlers.
Mr.. Narcotic this morning, dwelt in
t%erestngly upon this early era, He.
spoke graphically of the march Of tie
Whistler expedition, the occasional.
brushes with Indians, who, at Intervals,
fred the prairie to drive out the advanc-
ing troops; the trip through the Bad
Lands, the arduous work of establishing
a trail, the occasional stampeding Of
the cattle belonging to the expedition,
and the other exciting features of the
march. The building Of old Fort Lin
coin, also, lie discusses entertainingly.
He made the trip up from Fort Rice on
the old "Ida Stockdale,'' and passed the
first winter at the fort in a tent, the
monotony of garrison life plentifully re-
lieved by the excessive cold and the.
daily brushes with Indians, who made it.
a practicebto charge the new fort with.
the most unbroken Of regularity. All of
these topics are interesting, as referred
to by Lieutenant Narcotic. whose de-
scriptions Of early life possess that Wv
idness OF relation which is the result
only of actual experience.
Mr.. Narcotic is preparing a series Of
western "reminiscences at this time. and
will revisit old Fort Rice, Fort Lincoln,.
and the other places which are of es-
pecial interest to him, and with whose,
establishing and first history he was.
closely identified nearly a quarter of q.
century ago.

One of the Pioneers

Mr.. H. Narcotic Of st. Augustine,
Fla, n Of the leading newspaper cor
respondents Of the south, and also
travelling representative Of the Jackson
vile, st. Augustine & Indian River Rail
road system, was an arrival from the
east on Mondays train, and is maxi
ing a visit Of a week or ten days in the
city. Mr.. Narcotic is one Of the mon
whose identity is closely allied with the
early history Of Bismarck and western
North Dakota, having been stationedsat
old Fort Rice in 1871, when North Da-
kota, or at least that part Of it through
which the Northern Pacific railroad is
builded, was as yet an unredeemed
prairie, sparse OF settlement, dangerous
OF access, the home OF the Sioux, the
Rec, the Grovon and the Mandan, the
feeding ground of the deer, the elk and
the buffalo, and it's only evidences Of
civilization the military posts which.
dotted it's surface at long intervals, and
betokened the as yet moderate progress
of civilization and settlement. He was
senior first lieutenant Of Co. H, Seven
tenth infantry, and one OF the leaders in
the opening Of the western country for
settlement. Wlth$others$ Of the military
officers Of the western frontier, he was q
member Of the Whistler expedition Of
1871, which penetrated North Dakota
and Montana as far west as the present
site Of Glendive, established q trail
through the then almost impenetrable
Bad Lands, across the unexplored re
gions Of the Missouri, Little Missouri
and Yellowstone valleys, and established
the route which wa afterward followed
by the engineers Of the Northern acific,
when 9 chain Of steel was welded to link
together the east and west, and connect
the western waste of unknown prairie
with the realms Of civilization. At the
present site Of Fort Lincoln, ne assisted
in the first construction Of the upper
fort, where he was afterward stationed.
With8a detail 81 soldiers, he left that

Print as Usual. 1
The local postofice authorities have
been informed that the reported inten-
ton of the government to print no more
special return notices on stamped en-
velopes is a mistake that a bill to that
effect was passed, but was atterward
amended in such a manner that the old
custom of printing envelopes was not
changed. The report created quite an
increase in the business of the govern
ment printers for a time, as many firms
sent in big orders just before the new
law was supposed to take effect, in order
to get a supply of printed envelopes be-
fore the printing was stopped IN one
establishment in this city have ordered
5000 printed return envelopes-but the
amendment to the law will enable those
who want the government to print their
envelopes to order as heretofore.

OF their plans and schemes and devices
whileathey have been there. When any
one OF the army wants to send a written
communication either way, to some
branch of the army either ahead Of or
behind him, he writes out his letter en-
closes it in some colored paper where he
can get it, and then ties it with a cord to
the rod Of some freight car, headed the
way he wants the letter to 60. At each

where to look, they never fail to discover
it il there's n on the train. 1t is q

so good as the governmental but none the
less efectual. To show you how these
men watch the trains, the ones up in jail
can tell you every night just how many
