John G. Lemmon, the well-known bota-
mist, has described some of his botanical
discoveries during recent trip in Arizona.
One Of these was a rare variety OF PLatdnus
known as Wright's sycamore, which was
found growing along the lower marshes OF
streams near Tucson, some specimens
measuring from ten TO fifteen feet IN cir
cumference. Another plant was new
pine. found at an elevation Of 10. 0.OOO feet
on Mount Graham. among spruces, frs and
jumpers, forming lovely park on the
mountain top. Il is a small tree. not ex-
ceeding four feet in diameter, but is much.
in request by lumbermen. In the south
end Of the Chiricahua Range, under the
slope of its highest parks, he found the
summit ridges thickly clad with charnl-
ing cypress. The young trees were gems
of beauty, with quadrangular pyramidal
foliage, attaining hight of sixty to eighty
feet and diameter OF four to six feet.

JAMES GORDON BENNETT, having exhausted
all his means Of useful sensation in the way
of geographical research, possibly being par
TALLY disheartened at the non-success Of his
Arctic expedition, and the failure Of the Jean
ette to find the North Pole, has organized q
new one to find the Jeanette. Bennett, though
considered frivolous sort Of person, is de-
serving of great praise for the enterprise and
determination shown in prosecuting his en-
terprises, and this last resolve Of his gives
him personal lustre and removes the imputa-
ton of sensationalism which rival neWspa-
Ders have covered him with.
The river press. [volume] (Fort Benton, Mont.) 1880-current, 1881-03-23

WE have. carefully examined the prelimi-
nary portion of the SO called act to provide
for municipal corporations in the Territory
of Montana, passed by our legislature the last
winter, and we unhesitatingly say its prolixi-
ty is its only redeeming feature, and that fea-
ture only results to the parties having the con-
tract to publish the laws of the Territory.
What the people of Benton wanted was
law by which they could organize an econom-
ical and efficient corporate government, neith-
er Of (which elements are contained in this
act. In the first place the preliminaries are
so intricate and profuse that with the best
of management and manipulation, by the
time we could reach an organization we could
only say we have succeeded in leaving our
children an heritage the results Of which we
could never determine during our natural
lives. In the second place it will entail upon
US, in the very first move, an enormous
and useless expense. What do we want to
make another survey Of tbs toWn-site for,
when it has once been surveyed, plated and
recorded through competent and author
lied Esource? Again, why do we want to
enumerate the inhabitants when it has SO re-
Gently been done by a more competent au-
thority? Then again, what does the Judge
Of the District Court know or care about
whether the citizens of Benton want to be in
corporated or not, or why make him dicta-
tor to say whether the people of Benton
shall exercise their rights as American citi-
zens or not, which he would have to do to
comply with the law referred to. Then to
incorporate under the law would compel us
to keep up a small army of officers, many Of
which are entirely unnecessary. Were we to
commence proceedings to-day we could not
under the law organize in one year hence,
even with the most favorable auspices, and
that organization when completed would cost
the people OF Benton twelve or fifteen hum
dred dollars at the very lowest estimate. The
mildest and most benevolent view we can
take of the matter is that the trainers of this
law have shown total disregard for the
wishes and best interests of the people, by
putting upon them q measure SO obnoxious
that it would nauseate instead Of encourage
them. We predict the people Of Benton
