Upon the principle that one persons money is
as good to us as another's, we mark our goods
at the lowest possible figures at which they can
be sold, and never break or change the price
only as the market fiuctuates. A child can
max purchases 10 as good advantage as the
best Judge Of dry goods who crosses our thresh-
hold. The advantages OF these two systems we
need not expatiate upon: We have demonstra-
ted their advantages to this people now for over
six years past. The satisfaction Of buying
goods with this confidence must be apparent to
every person who has been compelled to stand
and wrangle and jew in order to get taeir goods
at ir prices, and then in the end not be GER
tain but that their neigh9ors may come in and
buy their goods for less money than they paid,

10 Editor of Courier:
On the evening of August 25th the d.
vision of thssU. 5. Geological Survey, un-
der my charges, conducted by A. d. Will
son, in charge of the primary triangula-
ton, was robbed of its entire outfit by a
supposed band of Indians, probably Ban
nacks. The party was in camp near Saw
telle's Peak, and at halt past eight O'Clock
in the evening, as the party sat around the
camp fire, two shots were fired into camp,
and at the same moment the entire herd OF
animals. consisting OF twelve mules and
two horses, were driven away. The party
escaped by concealing themselves in the
bushes until morning, when they started
for the Upper Geyser Basin, distance of
sixty miles. Fortunately no one was
hurt. Thirteen of the animals were brand
ed, sc. s." Geological Survey on the left
shoulder, and a portion of them were also
marked III" on the left jaw.
Any information that the people Of Mon
tana can procure in regard to the robbers.
whether white men or Indians, or of the
animals, will be gratefully received. The
party found one horse in the valley OF
Henry's Fork, which had been abandoned
by the marantling party, marked I'D Cav
airy, Co. H." They appeared to have
about fifty animals, most of them skod.
They seem to have come up from the d.
rection OF Fort Hall, and the trail led to-
ward the northeast. l trust that Govern
ment officials will take possession of this
ptvpo,,y, wherever 1t may be found,

LONDON, Sept. 5.-The following is the
log of the Steamer Bywell Castle, which
run down the excursion steamer Princess

The master and pilot were on the upper
bridge, and the lookout on the top gallant

reach VIC observed the excursion steamer
coming up Barling's reach, showing her
and most the head lights, and ported our
helm to keep over towards Tripcock's
point. AS the vessels neared we observed
the other steamer had ported her helm.
after we saw she had star
boarded her helm and was trying to cross
our bows, showing Ter green light close
under our port bow. Seeing collision
was inevitable we stopped our engines and
them at full speed. The two YES
sells came in collision, the bow of the By

test for Office outside of our own county,
we propose to have little, if anything, to

members OF the Territorial Legislature
and officers for Gallatin county. we think
1t is the duty, and it should be the busi-
ness, Of every citizen OF the county to take
deep and lively interest. not only in the
election itself. but in the primary acts and
movements which invariably precede it.

But, while radical changes and re-
forms in the usual primary proceedings

tenn has been in vogue so long and become
SO deeply seated that We can hardly hope
that any important changes can be made
