Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1877-06-07

THE bad condition of the roads between
Sun River and Benton brings to our notce
the necessity of opening up new and better
routes to the head of navigation. we arc
informed that a better anu much shorter
road can be had from Helena to Benton than
the one now travelled. The route 10 winch
we have reference crosses the river ae lle
CANYON Ferry or Stubbs' ferry, and follows
an old lumber road as fal as Beaver creek,
some nine miles beyond New AoFh gulci-
From this place it follows up Beaver creek
and crosses the mountain over a LOW uiVlue'
and comes down to Smith river about eight
miles from its mouth 8 then toftoWs along
the bench land, touching the head OF navl-
cation on the opposite side of the river from
BENTON. This route would shorten the DIS
lance at least 80 miles between Helena ana
Benton. We are informed that there Would
be but one hill OH the route, ana THIS IS less
difficult to pull over than the Spokane hl'l
between Helena and Canyon Ferry, and the
main divide is. so easy made that Il person
nassino over can scarcely perceive that he IS
as ascending it. The country is OF a differ
ent nature. much better and more piactlca-
BILE for IL wagon road than the one now tray
eled. ,Ehe bad lands are avoided, ana the
distance between watering places is shorter
and more. direct than by any other route"
The largest expenditure necessary Will DC
at the crossing of Smith river, which would
have to be bridged. This, with a little graar
ing of the pitches and clearing OFT the fallen
timber upon the mountain, and the bridging
of three or four small creeks is all that IS
needed to put the road in condition for
FREIGHT teams. In view Of the fact that the
opening of this route would add much to-
wards settling up the vast and valuable ag-
ricultural and stock growing section through
which it passes, we believe Meagher county
could we'll afford to expend the sum necesr
sary to open it to travel. Will our county
fathers take this matter into consideration ::

LONDON, April % "A Vienna CORE,
spoudent in the Times says the world
will have to resign itself aud remain for a
short time longer in its present state Of
uncertainty as a Russian manifesto is
net likely to be issued before the Cars
return from Kirchenef, and for which
April 10Th is named as the probable date.
The same correspondent repeats the re-
port that Russia's circular note has al.
ready been despatched by special cour-
iers, and he adds: However this may
be, the note has not been received here,
nor has any intimation been given that
it is on its way" The conclusion can
be safely drawn from all this that there
is to be a respite of about a week. Rus.
sia's reasons tor this delay seem rather
complex. The chief reason apparently
is that her preparations are not quite
complete.

The nrIeks Of Egypt.

The bricks of Egypt are still made OF
Nile mule, with an admixture Of lime,
straw and ashes; which are now burnt in
kilns. An excellent lime is made OF
crushed stones, shells, etc., put il alter
nae layers with wood and bramble to
the size Of a small room. This is set on
fire. and care taken that the wind shall
not blow irso the pile.
la many parts the poor ~pelsantry
make bricks with clay and straw, and
dry them in the sun, cementing the
briekwork with mud. 1t is plain that it
would not be difficult to dig through
a wall Of this description. Matt. vi,

The Arab builders are as idle and in
dolent as most Of their eountrymen, and
you may see these fellows sit at their
work, wherever they get the chance.
Bat perhaps, like the steel of Damascus,
the slowness Of the process renders the
work the more durable and perfect.
Solomon's Temple was forty.six years in
building, and of this sacred edifce, of
which the Lord himself was the archi-
tect, it is not too much to suppose that
OF all that was best and most beautiful
in material and work, nothing was want
ing. And yet scarce a stone remains of
this divinely-designsd work, while build
ings executed ages before still reveal to
us the the treasures of history and their
evidence Of truth. How much do we
owe those ancient buildersl II their
work had been less exact and solid, those
records engraved on the old walls, which
unfold a new world OF knowledge to the
Bible student, would have been wrought
in vain. --[Parish Magazine.
