Yes, dead. Aye. dead. '"The good that
man does. is oft inferred With his bones;
the evil lives after him." When Col.
Aleck Phippe. editor of the Moberiy Mont
tor died, mankind lost brother-wOman
protector, and the universe . unit that ever
counted one for good. Col. Phipps Was
gentleman, and the Deity set the seal upon
his brow. He lived and lived with his
fellow man. Had misfortune overtaken
them, his purse was ready; had it been
sickness, his purse, heart and soul we're ever
ready at disposal. A gentleman, with
Gods seal upon his forehead. he lived, and
is the better for it. He is DEAD,
and has but gone before. Let Ne lay
tribute upon the grave Of our brother-let
us twine the dark December myrtle with
the red flush OF the June rose let us gather
the peoples by the wayside, and scatter the
petals with the hope that the nepenthe held
in the crystals. will bring to that poor heart
rest, and surcease from sorrow.
Let each and all, whenever the name Of
our dead comrade is mentioned, reverently
lift our hats to his memory. May the
sweetest birds sit ON the willow DER his
grave, and when, in their mathis, they
praise God with the earliest song Of natures
summer moon, may their prisons be blended
with prayer for Col. Aleck Phipps; may
the cedar DER his grave be ever green, and
in the solemn, still hours Of night. when
Heaven weeps. may the tears be gathered
that fall, with Natures dew, over the grave
of our dead brother be caught in Gods
crystal cups and refresh the verdue with
the violets Of memory; may each flower
grow brighter, may each good impulse in
the heart of man be purcr, may We, in our
time, lay down our cross and pass 70 the
Great Beyond as happily as did Aleck
Phipps.
But, although he is dead, his good will
live after him. And as Time slips slowly
BY, and brings to posterity the good efforts
of he who went before, let us keep his
memory and grave ever green. We will
water it with our tears, and our signs will
wing his spirit to bright realms; We will
care for the widow, protect the orphan, and
ever regard as sacred thing the memory
of-Col. Aleck Phipps!

PROCEEDINGS
Of the Baptist Sunday School Con-
ference.

A very interesting convention has been
in session in the First Baptist Church.
opening Thursday night and closing last
evening.
The range of subjects discussed embrac-
ed the duties of the church, As an organi
cation, the Sunday school. and the qualii-
cations necessary for efficient working in
it. The tenor of the addresses showed it to
be the obligation Of the church to meet for
the special study Of Gods word; and the
effect Of careful study, to be the growth Of
the membership. IN holy Living, and in the
knowledge Of those things that make men
better christians, better church members,
and better listeners to the preachings Of
the word.
As to the qualifications of workers the,
speakers took . wide range, and
were it possible to find Super;ntendant~
or teachers, having half of the qualifca-
tons spoken Of, they would be good indeed.
Some Of the principal quail 6casions were,
first . converted heart, second, thorough
knowledge of the Bible, of the Characters
tics Of childhood, of the means Of reaching
the human heart, and one speaker knowl-
edge of systematic theology. But it seem.
ed very necessary thing to get the teacher
or superintendent first and then qualify
him. As to the mode Of qualifying, teach
ers meetings, institutes and ETC., we're rec
commended, as we'll as the use Of books, and
Teachers Works." The themes were d.
vided as follows: Viewing the field deep
ening our work; WORKER, the kind their
training; their work their reward. The
delegates and others in attendance, we're no
doubt much benefited by the gathering.

"A Protty Good Joke.

Maj. Joe Finks, Of Fsyette, is . very
prominent man in Howard county, and is
also candidate for the Legislature. He is
. jolly. vholesouled man, good friend and
. genial gentleman withaI. He has lately
been appointed postmaster of town in
Howard county, through mistake. and it
occurred in this WISE: A gentleman pre-.
scented petition to the Major, asking him
70 attach his name thereto, endorsing the
gentleman - man competent to Gil the
Office Of postmaster of . small town in
Howard county. The Major also wrote q
letter to Washington eDdorsing him a. .
good man for the position. BY some hook
or crook, the officials At the Capital got
thing 4 little mixed. and appointed the
Major to the Office, instead of the man be
had recommended, and thus the Major was
the appointed postmaster of the town of
Armstrong. with . salary Of $40 per
annum. He decline. the honor, but the
story somehow got out among his friends.

ONE of the most important measures mat
sbould come before our next Territorial
Legislature is the enactment of a just and
equitable revenue law, one that will distrlb-
ute the burden of taxation equally among
the people. Every citizen is interested IN
the maintainance of law and order for the
protection of our homes and tiresldes, en-
Joys alike the protection OF our civil courts,
and should pay a fair share of our taxes.
Our common wealth is composed OF many
branches of industry all of which are neces-
sary to our prosperity, and should receive
every possible encouragement. 4et tins
matter of paying the cost of local govern
ment is one which can only be satisfactorlal-
iy adjusted by each industry paying its por-
ton. We are in need of a new revenue law
throughout. The present one is oppressive,
unjust, and imposes a heavy burden on
some, and discriminates in favor of others.
The only way to secure a remedy for this is
for our people to send men to the Legislature
who fully understand his question, and
who are capable of making good whole
some laws. Our farmers and ~stockgrowers
are more vitality interested in this than any
other class, rs the burden of our taxes rests
with them. They therefore should turn out
to the primary meetings of their respective
parties, and see that men are sent to their
conventions who will nominate only such, as
are we'll qualified, and who are thoroughly
identified with their interest, and the inter.
est OF the country.

and cheapest for a man with a family, and
snrino the proper season. 1t matters little
what time a person gets here, though spring
is a little preferable to fall. Our ST. LOUIS
friends may take q Gamer at their city 1or
Benton. and should they have the means
we would advise them to bring along a light
wagon such as they are likely TO need, ana
a set of harness, and buy a team OF common
horses OH their arrival. They can then vlslt
any part of the Territory they see tit. WIN
little expense. A man unincumbered by a
family may come equally as cheap by rail-
by taking emmigrant passage to the terml-
nus of the Utah Northern, and coming over
land with a train. The tail is the best sea-
SON to travel this route, though it can be
made very easily any time except IN mlu
winter. The distance from the terminus or
the rail road to Helena is about 800 miles,
but not more than half that far to the Mon
tana settlements; while on the river route
the settlements begin almost at Benton. Ii
eastern Montana is the destination sought,
Immigrants by the river would find it the
shortest route to get off at Carroll.
We would warn all frontier ranchmen to
be on the lookout for Indians. The Nez
Perces, who returned from The British Eos
sessions to Idaho during the spring and
summer, are now Struggling back and are
liable TO fall upon an unWeary settler along
their way. This is the most to be dreaded
n ~ 5000 - &c I-1:,,, -rn,f,ro nc tho nor
ties travel generally under the garb OF
~triendliness. The Indians who are really
friendly are placed in a precarious position
by these treacherous rovers, and are liable
at any time to suffer at the hands OF the
whites. 1t does seem to us that the gov
eminent should see the situation at a glance
and provide a remedy.

Eannaek-Through Beaverhead Canyon-Fine
Herds and Dairys Of Red Sock and Horse
Prairie.
At Watson the Beavcrhead valley is cut
off by a chain of mountains which come
close to the river banks, and in many places,
stand perpendicular above it. The Over
land road to Utah has been built through
this canyon, and r. NJ. Barrett, the proprie-
tor, collects the toll. His location is near
my starting point of the first days journey
from Watson. Besides taking toll, MIR. b.
keeps a hotel and sells goods from a we'll
elected store. On the route of nearly 20
miles through the canyon, there is but one
place suited for a farmers home, Ihls
place is about nine miles from Mr.. Rarrett's
and is owned and occupied Ivy NJ. B. Henne-
berry. This gentleman is one of Montana's
first residents. He was the builder of the
road from Red Rock through this canyon,
and for several years was the gate-keeper
and hotel proprietor. His selection for 4
home, though surrounded by high noun
tains for miles in every direction, is a de-
irable one for the business of stoc&-grow-
ing and d~airying, a business in which he is
pretty extensively engaged. His residence
is one of the best in the country. 1t has a
stone basement, and the dairy building,
which is OF stone is connected to it and we'll
arranged. After spending al hour very
agreeably in the society of his pleasant fam
lily, | drove on, and shall not forget to call
when passing again.
Ten miles from Mr.. Henneberry's, grass
hopper and Horse Prairie creeks come in
from the north. and the country opens out
into marrow cut beautiful valley. 1t is here
that the river known as Reaverhead is
contents of Red Rock, Horse Prairie and
Grasshopper creeks. These streams flow
from opposite directions and the valley
through which they pass is probably 30
miles in length, but in most places is only a
few miles in width.
Mr.. Shineberger whose home is at the
first crossing up Red Rock, is one of the
large stock-raisers of Beaverheau county.
