Charlotte Harbor Mad.


The people Of DeSOtO county and CT
the town of Punta Gorda especially,
are raising quite Il kick because Char
lotte Harbor has been entirely ignored
in the bill making appropriations for
rivers and harbors. They contend
that Charlotte HarbOr is by far the
finest and best natural body of water
on the west gulf coast, that Tampa
cannot compare with 1t. They seem
to think that they have been ignored
on account of the jealousy Of Tampa
people. Col. S. NJ. Sparkman, who is
Tampaite and the senior democratic
member of the rivers and har5ors
committee, is, as matter of course,
not very popular with them just now.

from Bismarck to Minot. 1t is hop
ed this arrangement may be per-
fected by next Monday. It may ap-
pear absurd, yes, ridiculous, to ask
a Bismarck business man if he is
i well posted ON the nature of the
country penetrated by the 500 be-
tween the two cities.
It is his business to be posted on
these matters and-well it does look
like a little impertinent to ask such
a question, but there seems to be
some who are not at all posted on
this region. ..,1.. -ea ...5.
The facts are, this country con-
tains some of the most fertile soil
that the world has ever known, has
whole sections and even townships
in which nearly every acre can be
ploWed with a steam pillow, has some
of the greatest coal deposits in the
country, the richest pasture lands
for the production of beef in Amer
lea, wheat and flax fields that will
eompare-and not. blush in the COM
s.parison-with any section Of the
country, population of honest, in
telllgent citizens that will honor any
man to associate with towns mb ORC
the freight bills alone amount to
from $4,000 to $4,000 per month,

G. F. Adair of the Tth Iowa cavalry,
published in the Tribune, June Sth,
/ will say that am as liable to mis-
takes as any man is. like to have
the old timers take issues with me
in such matters as the following.
Mr.. Adair is right about the boat
being up the Yellowstone and the
crossing of Sully's troops. Mr.. VIM.
Cherry, who was wagon master Of
the expedition at that time, lives in
the Yellowstone valley, close to the
point where the boat crossed the
troops. I met him the past sum

I was with the expedition that
summer. We built Fort Rice the
same season. The following boats
composed the expedition, Strs. Mar
celia, Cutter, Chippewa, Alone, Sam
Gatty,a Tempest, Isabella. Island City
and Belle Peoria, which was last.
the same season few miles north of
Pierre, S. D., at the point which is
known as Belle Peoria bottom. LID,
With reference to the boats on
the Yellowstone, four boats started
to ascend =. the river to cross the,
troops and furnish the army with
supplies. The cutter Chippewa Is
land City and Alone, after a short
run, three of them turned back, the
Alone proceeding to a point about
forty miles UP the river, which is
known as Alone Rapids. This was
as far. as she got. This being the
only boat that was ever on the Vel
lowstone until the Key West ex-
plored the river in 1873. &o.. y
The Island City sunk where Fort
Buford now stands at the mouth of
the river just as described by Mr..
Adair. & 4 '.Y,"r
At this place was an Indian trad
ing post called Fort william, in OPP
position to old Fort Union, which
belonged to the American Fur COM
pany and a. few miles from Fort
William. Fort William was run by
F. F.! Gerard and others, being an
independent company. Mr.. Gerard
has a daughter in this city at t.

" Mr.. Adair is correct but the boat
was up so short a distance as not to
consider it as having assembled the
