There was "a lively half hour at the
depot this morning upon the arrival of
the north and west trains in the rain
storm. Both trains were heavily
loaded with passengers and an un-

Journal gives the following item of
traffic ID the Missouri river which
sounds strange to the present genera
ton: THE E. 81. Durfee war nearly
ready to leave last evening, and if she
did not go during the night will
leave early this morning. She took
on at this point 1870 tons of freight,
most of which is for Fort Benton.
She has new machinery for the West
ern. Her berths are all full, there
being seventy five passengers aboard
her for Benton and st. Helena. Be-
