A Few Wants.

Benton's wants just now, at the beginning
or her era OF rapid progress, are many, anG
we enumerate a few that have been slone
felt and which should be supplied as soor
possible.
The first on the list is a FIGURING Mill
Leaving out the. mill at Sun River which does
little more than supply the demand in that
thriving valley, there is not a Touring mil
any nearer than the Prickly Pear valley, q
distance of probably $50 miles, and much OF
the flour consumed in Benton and vicinity is
shipped here from the States. And this in
the face of the fact that our farmers can
raise forty and fifty bushels of wheat to the
acre. There is not under the sun a better
wheat country than Northern Montana and
there is q fortune in store for the man who
will establish a good mill at Benton or yicin-
ity. At present but very little wheat is raised
here because there is 40 market for it, but in
the event of the establishment of q mill
thousands of bushels of this grain would be
raised annually with profit TO the farmer and
all concerned.
More saw mills are needed in the vicinity
of Benton. One of the drawbacks of this
year has been the scarcity Of building mater
ial and as a large number of buildings are
already planned for next summer it looks az
il the same difficulty would stand in the way.
Three or four additional mills within o rea-
sonable distance of Benton could find ready
sale and at good prices for all the lumber
they could saw and deliyer.
A planning and resawing mill, such as was
contemplated by the Messrs. Hotter last
spring, would supply q want in Benton and
We believe prove a profitable business.
A wood, coal and lumber yard would
prove q great convenience to our people and
q source of profit to the protector.
The ladies, we know, would be thankful if
enterprising milliner would locate in our
midst with a big stock of dainty head gear.
The attention Of capitalists is called to
these various Openings for successful in
vestment at the River Metropolis.

the monthly balance sheet assumes mammoth
proportions. On the first Of May, 1880, they
moved into their present quarters on Front
street, having purchased the old Record
property from Mr.. Buck. They have a
splendid location and the time is not far in
the future when the present building will
give way to q h handsome brick block. I'M
der the guidance of Mr.. Hirshberg we took
q look, yesterday, through their store room
and ware house. Both are schock full of
goods. The ware house is packed from floor
to ceiling with cases of merchandise, MANY
OF which have not yet been opened. The
goods are moved from their fire proof ware
house to the store as room is made for them.
Messrs. Il. & N. had no little trouble this
season in securing their large shipments
from the y y East, but by persistent and
interchangeable efforts succeeded in getting
every pound. Mr.. Nathan s'camped on the
trail" Of the goods at Bismarck, Cow Island.
Clagett, and other points several weeks ana
was well enough pleased that his efforts were
successful. They inform US that this sea-
sons business has been exceedingly good, for
better than they had anticipated. Fair deal
ing and good goods is sure foundation for
any business, and it is upon these that Messrs.
II. q N. rest their reputation and business
success. They are entirely satisfied with the
result.

A Prosperous House.

In May, 1879, Messrs. Hirshberg & Ne.
than commenced business in Benton in a
building that stood on the site of the new ho-
tel, on the leYee. Their house was the first
exclusive clothing store in Benton, and, as
they had to s.buck against such big firms as
Z. G. Power s. Bro, /. G. Baker g Co., W.
S. Wetzel 8 Co. and others,it was something
Of q doubtful venture at first. But Messrs.
e.. & n. 3 demonstrated that the way to
success was open to them, and ever since
their business has been growing until now

week Will finish up the work of our law
makers in Carson assembled. For nearly
two months have they been laboring for the
benefit Of the dear people. and hope to be
elected at The next general election. We can
not call to mind any particular one who will
return 10 the bosom Of his constituency with
halo of glory encircling his classic brow,
nor do we remember the passage of any spe-
cial measure that aimed to relieve the people
of the numerous burdens they now have to
bear"

THE INVESTIGATION OF THE PRINT.
ING FRAUDS.

The report Of the Committee appointed to
investigate the State printing frauds sustains
the main charge made by the APPEAL that
Mr.. Robinson did not print the bills of the
legislative session in accordance with the
law, and, by reason of fraudulent sinking of
the title pages, and the introduction of extra
slugs, the State was made to pay for 600
ems of type on each bill presented in evi
dence more than it would have paid had the
law under which the work was done been
honestly complied with. OF four legislative
bills placed in evidence the Committee make
the following references:
''In the case of the four bills mentioned,
by not following the strict letter of the law,
the State Printer was paid some SIS more
than he would have been paid had they
been printed in exact accordance with the
law
Then follows the flap of the "hteH ash
brush in clause inserted by Piauk and Duff
fy, the two members who were pu. on the
Committee by the special request Of Tren-
more Coffin.
"In the absence of further evidence, the
Committee are not Of the opinion that fraud
was intended"
BY what method the trainers of the report
arrived at the conclusion that fraud was mot
intended" does not appear. The plain and
stubborn fact that fraud was committed by
the printer, and winhed at By the expert,
could not be overlooked even by the friends
of the accused on the Committee. The printer
got his money from the State, and the expert
violated his official oath in allowing the bills.
The charge that the title pages wers not
printed as the law directed, thereby causing
extra blank space to be charged for, and, i'll
instances, causing two extra pages to be in
cluded in the bill, was also sustained by the
Committee, but again follows the attempt at
palliaton:
sFrom further evidence we find that such
has been The style of printing the title pages
ever Since the organization of the State"
The trainers OF this clause seem to haye
overlooked the important fact that the frauds
proven were perpet rated in Inc first printing.
under the new law passed in 1877, a law
passed for the express purpose Of placing re-
strictions upon the method of bill printing
in vogue in early times. Although the ac-
cused employed a professional attorney to
defend the case, and every trick of legal pro-
cedure was taken advantage OF to bubble |
with the evidence and befog the Committee,
it was impossible to explain away the fact |
that, of the four bills presented in evidence |
over "A 600 ems of type had been charged for |
which had never been set. The difficulty of |
obtaining further evidence OF these petty |
swindles arose from the fact that Of the null
titude of bills presented during he last ses-
sion, but few of them now remain in exis-
tence.

WnAr THEY HAVE ACCOMPLISHED
Susan b. Anthony said recently, in re-
ply TO question, 'Wbat have you ac-
complished by your work for woman
suffiage?' well, should say we have
accomplished great deal. Since the
beginning of the woman suffrage agta-
ton thirty years ago We have gaiued
school suffrage in twelve States; law,
theology aud medicine-all the profes-
sions have been thrown open TO us; all
tee Western colleges and seminaries
admit women; there are III this country
1000 licensed female doctors; there are
fifty female lawyers, and women are at
lowed to practice in the Supreme Court
of the United States, although Number
OF States still shut US out, there are for
ty female ministers in the Cniversalist
church alone, while hundreds Of licensed
female ministers are in the Methodist
church doing the best kind of revival
work. Thirty years ago woman could
only cook, sew aud teach. Now not
trade hardly but has women in it. We
men are managers Of large stores and
business, and manage great farms with
success. Why, the largest farm in one
county in Illinois is owned and man
aged by woman You Eastern PEG
pie ought TO 60 West and see how wo-
men are getting along with only few
