tains who would do as much, the road could
be completed in short order.
Nor satisfied with the result of the game
last week, the defeated nine tried it over
again this week with the same result. Much
better playing was done, however, and, but
for a shower just after the game commenced,
which made the ball slippery and rendered
straight throwing almost impossible, the
score would have been quite small on both
sides. The boys are improving with every
game, and the Diamond Cities will yet be
able to play ball.
THE heavy freight teams of Marks & Pat
terson, which went to Benton via the gov
eminent road, have made the round trip
and returned to Smith river this week, and
will load with wool for DR.. Parberry. After
loading they propose to make Benton in
four or five days. They will follow the
government road a short distance beyond
Hound creek, then strike direct tor Benton.
The Transfers inform us that they regard
this route, via Diamond, fully as near and
better in early spring than the road through
Prickly Pear Canyon, and express a belief
that it will be adopted by many %freighters.
If II Smith river wool growers would
put their heads together they could, with but
little work, greatly shorten the present route
via the government road to Benton, by
looking out a road at the head of Eagle
Creek and down Belt river. This is a low
pass. and could be travelled at any season of
the year. The transportation of wool is
getting to be quite an item, and as the bulk
increases the necessity of opening the most
direct road becomes the more essential. This
would greatly shorten the road between
| Benton and Bozeman, besides it would open
to settlement a new and most excellent
stock region.
THE National Holiday at the White Sui
phur Springs promises to be the ~liyeliest
ever known there. AS many as five horses
have already been entered for the races, all
of which are now on the track and training.
Several other horses will be entered, and il
is thought the races will be closely contest
ed. The Ball in the evening also promises
to be an interesting feature of the occasion
Several ladies from Diamond and quite 8
number from the Missouri valley will attend
Dancing will be kept up at intervals nigh
and day the remainder OF the week. A
game of base ball is also spoken Of as one O.
the attractions. The tables will be furnish
ed with the best the market affordss which
will add much to the enjoyment Of the occa
sion.
