raising. To this class Of settlers
our country affords superior induce
1nents, and it is but reasonable to
supposethatthese inducements will
not be undervalued. With such
an increase of population the steam
boat business must improve, for
there are many parts of Montana
to which the river route viii offer
superior facilities. In the future,
as at present, the splashlng wheels
of our steamers will disturb the
waters Of the Upper Missouri, the
smoke-stacl1s will as ever be seen
creeping around the headlands, the
shrill shrek Of the steam-whistle
will still echo over our hills and
through our valleys, but for every
boat that has grazed our landing in
the past we shall witness a fleet.
No. Railroad communication
can not injure our town. The pros
perity Of Benton is dependent upon
the general prosperity Of Montana,
and that prosperity can in no way
be so eminently enhanced as by a
railroad. Let US cherish enllght-
ened views Of this subject. Let us,
without fear, invest here our means
and improve our town; and when,
ever an opportunity offers to lend
material aid to any substantial pro
ject of railroad communication, aid
it gladly and eagerly, in full assur-
ance that we shall not onl Y receive
the blessings of future generations,
but that We shall ourselves live to
reap the mighty rewards of sowing
in such fruitful soil this little meas
ure Of saving common sense.

TRUE TALES OF MONTANA.
BY CAVALIER.
IY.--An Indian Hero and Heroine.

About the last Of April, in the
year 1884, three Blood warriors
and squaw appeared at Fort Nc
Kenzie, on their way to the Grow
country to steal horses. Major
Culbertson, then in charge of the
fort, sought to persuade them from
their design, and at last they con
cluded to return to their own vii
lage. Setting out after few days
stay at the fort, they sat down to
rest and smoke at the Cracon-du-
nez, a few miles above the fort. It
happened that a War-party Of thirty
mounted Grows were lurking in the
neighborhood, who hadplaced them
selves IN ambush behind the bluff
only d few rods from the hating
place Of the unsuspecting Bloods.
Waiting until the latter were
stretched upon the ground and pas
sing the pipe from hand to hand,
the Crows rose from their conceal
ment and dashed suddenly upon
them.
Two of the Blood warriors were
instantly killed, and the third
was wounded, but not disabled. He
sought to fly, but the Grows were
upon him IN a moment, aud hetound
himself surrounded by the throng
Of his enemies. Then followed 9
feat Of arms worthy Of Richard
Ceur de Leon IN his best days.
AS the Grows crowded around Inn
to complete their work, with hls
gun he felled one from his saddle
with a single blow, and sprang n.
to the empty seat. The shock Of

New industries consequent upon
the increase Of population must al
SO spring up. Walk through the
streets Of our town and study the
signs displayed to ascertain the
range Of our business, and how mea-
gre is the showing! How few Of
the many trades, the industries, the
manifold pursuits deemed ind1spen-
sable in populous communities are
we IN possession of. Is it proba-
bic that when the Teton, Maria's,
Shoukin, and Missouri valleys are
filed up with an Industrious, agri-
cultural and pastoral population,
these varied industries will not be
as necessary to them as to similar
communities elsewhere? or that be-
ing necessary, they will not find
their natural location here?
1t is no idle dream to expect
that such a population will be de-
pendent upon us at no distant day.
During the past few summers.
many settlers have located near US,
and they are but the skirmish line
Of solid columns behind. Parties
here are in receipt of frequent let
ters of inquiry as to the advantages
for settlement,in this part of Mon
tana, and the facts warrant such
favorable answers to tie questions
propounded, that the disposition to
cast lot with us cannot fail to be
strengthened. Two colonies con-
template moving here at an early
day, and when we consider that the
movement has but just begun, the
prospect is most encouraging. A
short time ago there was not a
farmer in our entire vicinity, and
now we can count scores who make
this place a point Of trade. The
adjacent valleys are capacious
enough to afford homes for thous-
ands ofsouls, and even in Montana S
present condition Of comparative
isolation, it requires no sangulne
mind to imagine fair percentage
of these thousands tilling the soil
of our valleys, and grazing their
herds upon our magnificent prairie
pastures, within the ensuing decade.
Judging from all precedents,
what would We not gain by rail
road evenif our freighting business
were temporarily injured BY it?
Consider the remarkable prosperity
}of Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kan:
sas, Colorado, and Utah all mod
ern instances. Population once
followed watercourses, now it fol
lows railroads. The real wonder

THE FUTURE OF FORT BENTON

IL tOl1AlhG14b lIOu1OOl VI Ou1 COulu1ulllU UJ
that when Montana has railroad
Fort Benton will cease to be Of any
material Importance and will rapid
~ decay. The natural inference
Of this theory is, that all who have
any interest In the commercial pros
perity of Benton should strenuously
resist every effort to bring the
Territory into railroad communica
ton with the rest Of the civilized
world. The thought is worthy of
those days when the advancement
Of civilization was considered an
injury rather than blessing to
mankind, or of the short-sighted ig
norance Of those communities of the
mother country who saw nothing
bnt starvation ia the introduction
and use of machinery
Why Fort Benton should suffer
from a railroad, we confess our in
ability to understand. It is said
that we shall lose our freighting
business. But are we to infer from
this that two or three hundred per
sons are clustered here merely to
pass ten months Of each year await
ing the two months activity created
by the arrival Of few boats? that
the simple unloading of a few tons
Of freight, to remain on the landing
a day or SO and then roll off in bull
teams, constitutes the only reason
of our existence? Hardly. It is
the extensive fur trade centering
here that makes Of Us a town. A
trade radiating in all directions,
and comprehending in It's scope a
larger tributary country than is
possessed by any other town in the
Territory. A railroad cannot take
this from us. The commodities re-
CURED by the fur-trade can still be
furnished from Benton at lower
rates than from any other point,
and the accumulated peltries can
also be shipped from here with least
expense to the Eastern markets.
It may be answered, however,
that the fur-trade will eventually
decline. Undoubtedly it will shrink
in It's proportions with the increase
Of white population ia the fur-pro-
duc1ng regions, but as we interpose
between those regions and the pro-
posed lines of railroad their trade
must fall to us, no matter what class
Of customers they furnish. Already
the settlers cabins begin to dot the
valleys around US, but do the firms
engaged in the fur business COM
plain of this encroachment on the
domains Of their traffic? No. A
material increase Of business is the
result. Our merchants have added
to the staple articles Of the Indian
trade that constituted their former
stock, the agricultural implements,
the house furniture, the hundred
notions that are demanded by the
needs Of civilized man. And this
new trade has many advantages
over the old. 1t is almost destitute
of former risks, and is not depen-
dent upon the good will Of q set OF
tickle, corrupt officials, who give,
Withhold, and revoke, at their own
sovereign pleasure, the necessary
permits to trade. To the fur trade
we are indebted for our present
prosperity. This trade can only

the blow had dashed his gun from
his hands, but in its stead he had
seized the lance of his victim, with
which he opened a passage through
the ranks Of his foes, and sped away
in the direction Of the fort. For
moment his enemies watched him
in amazement at the exploit, but
soon recovered themselves and
gave chase. It chanced, however,
that the Blood hero, had possessed
himself Of the best horse Of his as
sailants, swift and beautiful ami
NAL SO that he easily outstripped
his pursuers and arrived in safety
at the fort.
But the squaw, who was his sis
ter, was left q prisoner in the hands
Of the Crows. The bodies Of the
two warriors we're brought to the
fort and buried, but no traces Of
the squaw were found, and it was
evident that she had been carried
| into captivity. Several days after
this event, Major Culbertson sat in
front Of the fort enjoying the cool
ness of the evening. The Missouri
river rolled along at his feet, and
upon the opposite shore a steep
bluff uprose from the waters edge,
sloping away to the left until it
ended in one of the little wales so
numerous upon the upper Missouri.
Presently he caught sight Of fig
ure making its way carefully
through the bushes that fringe the
base Of the cliff where it was diff
cult to find standing room. His
curiosity was excited, and crossing
in the skiff, he was amazed to seB
before him the identical squaw who
had been carried off a prisoner by
the Grows. She was IN a sad plight,
being entirely naked except the
little protection afforded by bunch
es Of sage-brush tied about her per
son, with feet lacerated by days Of
travel over stones and prickly pear,
and was weak and emaciated from
exposure, fatigue, and starvation.
Her story proved her as much a
heroine as her brother had shown
himself hero. After her capture,
the Grows had travelled rapidly to
ward their own country, guarding
her with great vigilance. As an
additional precaution, her clothing
was taken from her every night,
and she was compelled to sleep
with a lynx-eyed old squow, whom
the slightest movement awakened.
Though constantly watching an op-
portunity to escape, none offered
until she was several days journey
! in the country Of her enemies
Here under cover Of the darkness Of
a stormy night, and aided possibly
by the relaxed vigilance Of her cap
tors, she was enabled to withdraw
without discovery. Then followed
five days Of painful travel without
food, in state Of nakedness, across
scorching plains and over rugged
mountains, reaching the fort just
when her heroic spirit was unable
longer to support her. She was at
once clothed and fed, and speedily
recovered from the effects Of her
4 painful experience.

been overwhelmed with them on this
recent occasion. Two of them we can
not forbear to mention. MunzesheimeI
sent us a big cake-about two and a
half feet in circumference, and the other
dimensions in proportion-white az
snow, and surmounted by a beautiful
flower. AS the cake was the handi-
work of his own establishment, where
they make everything and have every
thing that is good and pleasant to tho
palate, its quality may be easily in
ferred.
The other present of Importance was

order to us to send him too demiiohn
or jugs, neither of them to hold less thai
a gallon. This order we did not feel a#
liberty to disobey. We sent him tw,
gallon jugs. They returned full, one q
Old Rye, the other of Old Bourbon, eael
kind valued and sold at Ten Dollar

United States. How good the whisky
Major Powers sent us, is, cannot be

of it. Both Munzesheimer and Mai
