AS the still wind, blowing off the
land, carried him out to sea, boatmen
hastily left the inner harbor in
launches to rescue him when he came
down, should he be unable to guide
the balloon back over the land.
The launch Emeline was already in
the outer harbor when Elkins cut

unable to judge correctly the point

construction work at Fort Missoula,
has arrived and work is to commence
at once on the plans which are de-

the greatest attractiveness in appear
ance and serviceableness.
