THEfiOAD TO IftOKTANA
A misunderstanding appears to ex
ist in relation to the effoct of the rneas.
nres which are now being adopted to
open a thoroughfare to Montana, from
the Pacific side. Tho statements in
relation to the feasibility of oponing
the Lolo Fork Trail and the Soutborn
Nez Percos Trail procoed principally
from two sources: in one case, th'o
parties bavo in view tbe opening
of these trails by Government appro
priations, with the expectation of gain,
first in building the roads, and next
in collecting tolls; in the other, state
ments are put forward for bunoombe,
as is the case of a certain gubernato-
rial message where it is said that " la-
deued pack-mules " have travelocM
from Lewiston to Helena in less than
twelve days. Tbe absurdity of this
statement is apparent, when it is seen
that Lewiston is situated at about 39
40 West from Washington, and llev
tflnn ia nhnnt. An tkn muti'?iin tf 80
west,.or nearly three hundred mile
duo east of Lewiston in a straight line.
The kind of pack-animals which can
carry loads over the Lo Lo Fork Trail
in the limo monlioncd ought to be in
crreat demand, it thoir vulnn in tn h
judged by their scarcity. y
The fact is that either .tbe LoiLo
Fork Trail or the Southorn Nez Per.
ces Trail may be made useful, with
proper improvement, in supplying
merchandise to tbe upper section of
Bitter Euot Valley; but after getting
in that valley it becomes necessary to
Smoke a considerable amount ot north
ing to get around the mountains di
viding tho Bitter Hoot from Hellgate T
Biver. If tbo traveler croes bv t'uel
A Col. J. 3. Buckle, one of the first
of tbe pioneers of the upper Columbia,
arrived a day or two since from the
Powder Hirer oonntry, where he has
been giving bis mining interests the
advantage of his personal superinten
denoa. It is almost noedless to state
that his success in. mining operations
it very gratifying to the many friends
he has tnade in this country, by very
rfWKW'jaWIVirited enters

either trail there are loner marches
without feed, the representations of
interested parlies to tho contrary,
notwithstanding. On eilhcrtrail there
is a high and long mountain section
to be crossed, badly overpaid with
fallen timber, with many ugly ascents
and descents to make, which even the
gorgeous rhetorio of the Governor of
Idaho cannot smooth down to even a
passable condition.
There- are only two main routes
which are practicable for tbe construc
tion of wagon roads these are the
roads by Ccour d'Alene Mission arid
Pon d Oroillo Lake. For the prosoot
there is not of necessity any competi
tion between them; lor the all suffi
cient reason that it will1 be well on to
the middle of next summer before tbo
Ccour d'Aleno route will be in a con.
dition to be easily traveled. Before
that time it is to be hoped that the
Pen d'Oreillo route will be used to
make the connection with Montana.
After the Cceur d'Alene road is opened,
it will beyond question take all the
travel of parties who goon horseback
with their own animals; all the pack
traius, and all the produce sent by
pack-animals from Walla WallaValley,
.mum ujpifljro iu uu gome appreoen
sion that tbe travel will go around
Walla Walla Valley. Considering the
abundance and cheapness of horses
and males in that country it seems to
be ar. unfonnded fear. By far the
larger number of intending emigrants
for Montana will bay their own stock,
and such persons will commence look
ing about for riding and psokanimals
as soon as they arrive at the Dalles.
.f'"l"l .... ' " ' . L'
With ordinary judgment tbey will do
tho best they can with their money
somewhere between here and Walla
Walla. In any case, they will not go
by steamer to be1 dropped with their
baggage at Palouse Landing, with
only one house in sight, where the
only chance to get 'horses would be to
purchase from itinerant horse-thieves
or the. niisorable Indians who live
thereabouts.
Sooner or later this question will
settlo itself, and until experience has
shown which is' the best route, it will
be well if we can have tho next best
for temporary use.
