On the 18th the 21 assistant Post Master General wrote Governor Pennington as follows: "The jetition forwarded by you asking for iII increase of service on winter route 15.048, over the line of the Northern 'acitic II. R. is received. Negotiations ire nowuii progress, with the R. R. Co. a view to the resumption of mail service.

Tho First Towns t© News. There are those WHO W remember th« first stirring townsite news from B»sinarck. It wis in the shape of a letter from the Crossing, published in the St Paul Press early in 1872, and detailed the able manner in which cer tain citizens got away with the land grabbers in a r»«.*c for the tcwnsite at the Northern Pacific crossing of the Mosouri river. This detailed the be ginning of the struggle and would have gone far toward confirming the story ofMMjor Wood, as told in the town site had it been put in evidence. WT« all remember the statement of the as to.how the party headed by Jack man actually took pas«ession of ihe exact location of proposed crossing, through information Jackinan or Cnurcbill had gained while in the em ploy of the Fw{jineer Department of-the Northern Pacific, crouding their opponents back and forcin the location of the coming city over a mile from the river, nste«d of on its banks. But now alter a struggle of over three years, third parties—the people —have come in with their claim and have walked off with the persimons and have only to regret that they did not a&k for more. Lee Travis is now sole proprietor of the Helena (Montana) Daily. News, which has been immensely improved under his management. The News is small, but it is chuck full of live and interesting matter. An anonymous letter was received Saturday in relation to the townsite matter. The writer should have given the editor his name to entitle his com munication to attention.
