A Graphic Description of the Terrible Works of Water and Ice on the Upper Mis souri River , n Every gido- Hugo Ice plds Still On- moltodfhousands of Cattle Lost , litter to the V rk Tribiinr , Tlio great flood in this \ alley of the Upper .Missouri two months ago hat boon pushed from thu public mind bj succeeding sensations , lint the trace' of this Into glacial epoch nro no\\ most * clearly in sight. 1 ) m\o sometime * thought that if Noah had left us n littlu pun picture of the BCCIIO soon after the Hood it Mould have been n > interesting ns the account of thu Hood itself. Nor would this people dcclint a special bow of promise against future drowning. Let mo attempt to describe what tlio newspaper man of Noiih'o lay forgot. I cannot describe tlio complete up per Tixlloy for 000 miles trom Ills- in arc k to Sioux City which v\as laid waste by tlio water , at an average loss , it is now estimated , of at least § 200- 000 per mile. The best of these val ley lands are uninhabitable ) and until- laldo at tlio present season , by reason of thu buds of Hand , thu bank of icu , lagoons of water , drifted trees , half buried , decaying carcasses , and thu trnnt of nil stock , dwellings , farming ' tools , and the lack of all ability to purchase them. Jiut I can describe the worst scene of thu disaster , winch formerly wns the garden section of this region. Between thm city and Hioux City , sixty miles below , there lay nn unbroken stretch of rich allu- \it\l bottoms , averaging ten miles in width , and fenced in by high blnllH. Viewed at long lange it } polished amoothncBH jrersuaded onu thatMother Nature had unco been n hotter laundrywoman - drywoman than some who uon Blurts. Here a few pioneers began making their homes n full generation ago. It had become thickly settled , thuio be ing in nil over I00 families , and uvery half-section being a distinct farm. Through this low plain runs , in ; i /ig/ag manner llko a fence-rail , the Missoun river ill its sober seasons. Nowhere does its natural width ex ceed fifty rods , ami in spots nt inul- minimcr as many feet would span the lazy Htream. Before the flood this tract ot 000 square miles at harvest time w'as n most ravishing scene , full of temptations for these who lo\o farm life good buildings , latgociops , line stock , UVINU I.V TENTS ALOMl TJIH 11I.UPP. Seen after the Hood , it seems to bo lavished by nature of nil nature's gifts , and man's achievements. Standing on the blnlls hero , with a glass , onu looks fifteen miles away without see ing ono homo. Thuio is not onu per fect building left , and only heru and there is there a lelio of human habi tation. Now and then , nearest the blulls , is seen a plowed field. The rest is desolation. More than half tlio 1,200 families whoso claims weie "jumped" and living in tents along tno binds most of them having nothing to ilo , and nothing to do anything with. The savings of years and the possibilities of tins year in thu valley are lost. The young men and some others have gone away seeking farm labor by the month. In these tents , during a large part of thu last sixty days , old men and grandmothers , del icate women and littlu children , ac customed to warm houses and good beds and plenty of food , have huddled together on straw , scantily clothed , meanly fed and covered ehiuily with "shivers at night. Driven out of their houses through chamber windows and ( skylights an thu water came un the stairs , they escaped principally in skirts , many with hothnir | saved but their night gaimonls. I'or Hi many places below the ice- gorge , which was floin fifteen to Unity feet in height iind ten miles inlungtn , wheio a goigu dam broke , thu water rolled down upon the scttlois like the wntoitt of the Jted Sea upon Egyptians. These people are painfully in need of clothing and bedding un gifts fiom their more fortunate fellou-mun , The peoplu of this and other towns along thu li.'or haio cpntiibuted gonoioualy , but not many in a now country aiu mippliud with n suiphis of these goods. ( jovernor Ordwny and other leading citizens havu united hum extended movement asking for aid , and have Hunt to the country at Lugo thu Itev.

Hut it is not necessary for pastors or other philanthropists to wu\ \ [ for him or any other special gent , for the American Kxpiesscom- puny has now invested hugely in thu charity. I am authoii/ed to stati that any goods for the relief of sullen by the Hood , if delivered to its agent ) and addressed to "tho Jlov. Williiiu JleCready , cmo of Governor Ojdvvav Yankton , U. T. , " will bo transpmtei to this city free of charge. And ' think that they will bo judiciously distributed .Ninny of thu millcrer are members of churches , and it i further arranged that any packages thu donors of which prefer that the' ' reach sufferers of any specific denonii nation , shall so bo given out. I'lUM or ICE IIKM-.MULI.SO UUILPIMIS. Now come b.ick to the blulls undth field-gloss. Ga < j again , and you nm cittch sight of seine solitary horboum pressing thiough the mire-pits to leur thu latest state of things around w lui used to bo his home , or ho may h turning his horse in that direction none ono might ride through curiosity int the plain of the lcad Sen. There ati remains bits ot icebergs that in thee few days were built up like littlu pyi amidu forty feet high , their bases b < in * measured by ucren. For hut caics of blue ice , four feet thick an rods square , piled up like a block < buildings , and cemented by fresh we ting and freezing , fight the sun ft toward his summer solstice nt43'nort latitude , Tlio fields of icu that wei only ten feet thick , and that wei spread over entire townships in 01 patch , are gone , though they reman ed well into May , andformud a rcsu vo that keeps half the bottoms sti wtt. But the ice-Hops nnd the migh ty sweep of deep wntcr carried and spread ov cr these valley lands square miles of wind and slime , which will not disappear until the next flood hftfl them , llieso depositi vary in depth froimme to MX feet , and from all 1 can learn they arc very general between thit point nnd Sioux City. Many farms nre mined by UICHO deposits ol barren sand The -black deposits nrc rich , but needless , as the soil was al ready deep and strong With the aid of your glass you car quickly count bloated , half-submergec' uircMsoft of cattle and horses by tin hundred. Literally all latin stocl wn * drowned anil lodged in the drift , where it now festers and threatens ti : Mircnd diseases that would bo worst than the Hood. Whilu covered witli water the caiaisses can not bo buried , and as fast as their sides appear , tin hot sun putnfies them. Under n strong southerly wind the ntmosphcri of this city ev en now is nauseous , and all down the vallo } it is plague laden. Not less thati 05,000 cattlt and horses hnvo become cnirion be < twecn hero nnd Kioux City. Arouni : the little hamlet of Mrckhng alonu IK . ' 1000 de.ul cattlo-at least : ,000,00 ( pounds of putnliud llesh. "Horrible" is the only term that nt nil reflects thii sanitary situation. In many parts o ! the late farming district the ground if bristling with the trunks of trees am : blanches and othur debris hcldfast n the sand at onu end , or at full length , To remove thusu will bo liku leducing the forest to the faun. Norwill | | tin farmer know that his _ farm w cleai till his broken plow wiitcs him n re1 vised book of revolatioils. The valluj was doited with many sturdy gtoves ol timber , growths of the century , ninny trunks being thirty inches through. Now , almost to the last monarch , they have been mowed down by the mighty ice-blade. You train your glass in vain for n half do/en shadows down this desert. But you easily detect n house roof or a church spue protrud ing from the sand like monuments. For , with thousands of acres of tim ber , whole villages were floated from their foundations , ground into frag- ineiitH , by the strange millstones of the hour , and scattered over the plain. Strewn everywhere are mementoes of homo and culture , from thu cradle and brown jug to thu leg of u losuwood piano. piano.TUB IlKMNAMT OF A KAIMIOAD. Down thu valluy winds thu wiecked or buried tr.ick of a once prospoioim r.ulwny. lint itscais me crushed and its olllcuH closed for sixty miles , and not n whistle of a locomotive has been heard in Yankton mute Muich i8. ! Uesida the track at Modeling utands a grain elevator still stands. Into it when forced from thuir homes , held 125 people , where they fasted and suf fered for ten days without intercouiso with those on dryland. Thu occu pants hav o ovun now Bcarcoly recover ed from their piostrated fear that their last result , shaken by thu blow of every ice caku , w ould go down at the next thump. In one town many citi/.ons took refuge in a strong barn , and lifted upon ono of the hay-lofts several fatted steois. And there mun , women and children remained two weeks , subsisting eluolly upon law beef. Not an indifferent featmo of the scene at piesont is formed by n group of crippled , feverish , rheuma tic people in tlw background. Very few lives hav o been lost , but still-births Invvo boon numerous , and many have liciin made sick by exposure such as would bo attendant upon a skit ) ' ridu of livi > miles through the flood on a ( V.fi i night , " with no covering but night-clothes or a calico dross. And iv few have boon made cra/.y by their losses nnd hardships. If I hnv o sketch ed in this pictuiu of desolation any thing which , ut a distance , seems im probable , the recollection of the fact that within the narrow walls of the vnlloy , the Hood rose forty-one feet above the river's low water maik will , I think rather excite opposite wonder that results are not worse. And they are wotsu in their extent , though not in their intensity ; for I hnvodesuiib- ud the scenes in only sixty miles , whoicas the devastation extended a thousand.

He pays , and is confronted with the request t < l pur chase steamer meal tickets at the ollice , whore they can bo lind for 40 cents ; they cost HO cenH at the table. In this way the man pays out about $7 between San Fianciscoand Almota for each passenger. To n man with u family of .six or eight , sometimes con ditioned as to requite two staterooms at a time , the sum total is considera ble. Beyond Poitlitnd but 100 pounds of baggage is allowed on each ticket , the extra being shipped at four cents per pound. After leaving Al meta , but fifty pounds and four cents for extia. It will be safe for the em igrant to mid $10 to § 10 to the tuhei- tised cost of this journey , now TO TIIVKI After the 15th of .hmo the best way for these coming to tliifc legion will bo to buy tickets to Amswoith , thence by rail to Spokane.

A couple of yeais ago the IHlks was n hamlet of small hopes.

About the niilway sta tion a numboi of bad characters have located , but the gre.it bulk of tin population is composed of the valuable classes , who cunie to add moral and financial strength to the place. The einbiyo city occupies a charming location , from which fine MOWS oi the mountainous country aie had. The traveler then enters upon a le gion of sand tint sti etches away to Wallula. I lure thu soil is and and full of alkali , the scenery wild and savage , the most of life confined _ tu liMiids and like leptiles.

On the railway gmdo maps the town of Amsworth h veiy prominent , but at the first view all this consequence is dissipated. It consists of about thirty common rough- board houses , set on a sand-hcapj hav ing two liver points. Theie isn't a tteo nitliin lvu > fifteen miles of the town. Every man built his shanty or house to suit his fancy , and without any lufcicnco to plan as to streets. Takeout two oi three buildings used by the railway company , the ono hotel anda residence or two , and the lest of the houses aio occupied by sharpers of both sexes , who live by lleecing the laboring men of their earnings , In a month or so the railway people will pull U ] ) stakes , and Ainsworth will re duced to an agent's shanty , with thu chances that lie will not sell tickets enough in aje.u to pay for a cancel lation stamp. Twenty-live miles from this place the traveler loses sight of the sand dcscit , and in its stead finds high rolling land and lilnll' liver banks , coveted with n lank growth of bunch glass a magnificent stock range. Here and theie a ranchman has located on the lowlands in the bends of the iivei , and made the iso lated spots blooming and thritty , but as a geiicial thing thu farms liu back from thu stream and only now and then come into view.
