The river is iat a stand but is now unusually high for season, but, remembering the experience of last year, and fearing that large sums weuld be required for land transportation, the Ooulson boats have been called upon to aid in rapidly accumulating Tongue River freights.

Com ing out of the Hills we had a ceach for about thirty miles and then lumber wagons and mules. The stock was so badly worn that they could scarcely be urged off a walk, and the driver often using stones which he would throw at thenwrom the wagon, On our arrival at Pierre we found the boat had just left and nobody knew when we might expect another. Being in something of a hurry as I had business calling home which could not wait, myself and four others bought a skiff and started to make the trip on our own hook. We were out about thirty hours when we were picked up by the steam er Black Hills on her way up to Pierre. We wet it back to this place and took a fresh start under more favorable cir- cumstai ices.

This steamer is a fine one for this trade, owned by Dr. Burleigh Tim Burleigh being Captain. I canno say too much in praise of this boat anc her crew; we were splendidly treatec by all hands, and highly satisfied with tbe river part of the trip, as we had a very good stage of water. 1 should not care to make the trip during a low stage if the line was a ene.

Before closing I would caution all who happen to mak to miss the boat against trying trip by a skiff as they wil not savle 'any time, and it is probable they will never reach the desired place We saw several podies floating on our way down, and no 'doubt most them were victims of this mistake.
