He is fully qualified to carry on the business
single handed and as in the past will make
his house 8 favorite and popular resort.
There is now on exhibition at the Over
land Hotel saloon some mammoth onions
from the Austin ranch on the upper Missouri.
They approximate the size of a saucer and
clearly evidence the fact that Montana can
beat the world raising onions as well as many
other things.
One Of Benton's young society gentlemen
remarked last week in the hearing Of 8 RIVER
Press reporter, in speaking of a popular
young lady here, that ssshe is pretty good
company che hasn't got any sense, but she
is 8 good conversationlist. She evidently
just sizes up with him.
The stockmen of Choteau and Meagher
counties will hold a meeting in this city on
the 10Th inst, for the purpose Of effecting
some plan to prevent the Northern Indians
from committing depredations in the coun-
ties interested. All owners of herds il these
counties are requested to be present on that
occasion.
&c. Power, the king Of steamboat pro-
prietors, is in the city, and registered as from
Montana. That is covering q good deal of
ground, but for that very thing Mr.. Power
is noted. Nothing less than an entire terri
tory will contain his enterprise. He repre-
sents business enough to constitute several

The RIVER PRESS d%enounces G. .. Storer
as a blk with IAN emphasis that amounts to
about 500, and in the most polished and pub
lie manner receipts the bill against him and
then sings a hymn. Our poet simply states
that
G. D. Storer ran away

II we had any large amount Of supplies to
purchase just at the present j%uncture we
would go right to Kleinschmidt's. The pop
ular manager Of that extensive establishments
Mr.. Lewis Hoffman, is the father ola bran
new girl baby and is in just the mood to give
bargains. All are doing well.
Capt. Paul Boynton, who recently started
from St. Paul on q trip down the Mississippi
river, is to make a similar expedition from
Fort Benton, and will float to st. Louis. His
start will be made in the latter part of Sep
TENDER, and he expects to finish before cold
weather returns. Boynton may be accom-
panied by several persons.-BSsm,orck Irs-

A team from one of our livery stables ran
away 9 few days ago near the Shonkin Hill
and Ellen Sewers and Irene Lester, the oc-
cnpants of the vehicle, were thrown out with
serious results. The former had her ankle
broken and was otherwise injured. She was
conveyed to Benton soon afterwards where
proper surgical aid was obtained. The acct
dent spoiled what promised to be a pleasant
country excursion.
Mr.. o.. D. Wright, Of the RIVER Press, is
now at the Barker mines interviewing the boz
nanza kings Of that district. An express and
mail line will soon be established from Ben
ton to that place, and the RIVER Press should
have a large circulation among the miners.
MIR. Wright will also visit the Mnsselshell
and Judith countries in the interest of this
paper within the next few weeks, and will
write p'that region il as thorough q man
ner as possible. We hope he will be favorably
received by the Judith and Musselshell
people.
Last Sunday we noticed with pleasure the
improvements lately made in the Catholic
church, on Baker street. There were some
chromos in tasteful walnut frames
the walls Of the neat building, and
particularly two large paintings in rich gilt
frames for the decoration of the sanctuary.
They have been shipped, we learn, from the
establishment of Benniger Bros, Cincinnati.
Ohio, a house so well known all over the
country for its superior production ia all
branches Of Christian art. The whole made
. favorable impression and, although not vet
completed, the church begins to put on 8
appearance. A number of articles
are yet en- route from the States and we hone
they will arrive before the boating season
ends. When completed the church will be q
great credit to Benton, and Father Camp de-
deserves special praise for his efforts IN &C.
