SALUTATORY.

The undersigned has purchased an interest
in the RIVER PRESS and with this issue as
sumes editorial charge of the same. Besides
this simple statement little else need be said
in this connection. AS heretofore the paper
will be Independent in all things, 10 bound
to any party or faction, and will seek chiefly,
to the best of it's ability, to promote the vel
fare of Benton and Choteau county. But at
the same time the RIVER PRESS will be fear
less in expressing its opinions or il espousing
q cause it believes right. 1t comedies to
every citizen the right to think and act as he
pleases, SO long as there is no infringement
On the privileges Of others, and claims the
same sacred license for itself. The RIVER
PRESS will in the main be a local paper de-
voted heart and brain to the varied interests
of its patrons and the community in which
it expects its support. Hoping that the
game consideration and favors that have been
shown it in the past will be continued, I will
endeaTor, as far as lies in me, to merit your
support. JERRY oLLlNs

VALE.

MY connection with the RIVER PRESS ceased
with the last issue, Mr.. Jerry Collins having
purchased my interest in the same. l wish
to express thanks to all the numerous patrons
of the paper. who have contributed 30 much
towards it, and gratitude for the many ex-
pressions of congratulation and encourage
ment which the paper has received in the
past, and also to bespeak a continuance OF
that patronage and confidence, which feel
certain will be deserved. Mr.. Collins is 9
gentleman Of newspaper experience, and !
have no doubt but that he will give you 9
paper that will meet with even greater appro-
baton than has already been 50 cordially ex-
tended. H. e. WILLIAMS.

INCORPORATE,
support.

THE question Of Incorporation has been
discussed by the press to some extent, and
doubtless the pros and cons Of the issue have
been weighed il the minds Of many Of our
citizens. The agitation we think should be
keptup until something definite 10 The prem
ises Is effected. The real question, Invested
Of al side issues, is, are the benefits to be de-
rived from incorporation worth the expense
attendant upon securing and maintaining the
same In our opinion the benefits will far
outweigh the damages, SO to SPEAK, and the
best interests of Benton require that she
should have q town government. The adj
yantages are easily enumerated
Improvements Of streets, alleys, ETC., es-
eential to be made, will gradually follow
upon the heels Of incorporation.
As q sequence Of such Improvements the
value Of town lots and residences will in
crease to an appreciable extent.
The sanitary condition Of the town will be
greatly improved portions Of the place that
now, after d copious rain, take On the ap-
pearance Of d little lake would be Away
dry, because The proper drainage could and
would ~ made. The town would be beauti-
fed To 4 certain extent, and strangers be
more readily prompted to cast their lot with
us.
There are other advantages doubtless that
the reader may recall. but these Will suffice
to show that those who are asking for the
incorporation Of Benton have good grounds
upon which TO base their demands. We
should think that town pride, apart from al
other considerations, would prompt every
citizen to take the same view Of the matter,
Every citizen is interested IN building up the
town, and, in any way possible, he should be
wiling and ready TO do his share to that end.
Before Benton can be what al interested
would like 10 see her, the principal streets
and sidewalks must de improved and an ef-
fectiye system Of drainage adopted. The
County Commissioners will not have this
work done, and ii can only be accomplished
by first Incorporating.
The expenses Of incorporation need not be
60 great. For the present, and until the pop
ulation has largely increased, the duties Of
the principal officers can be performed by
the county officers Ut salaries merely nomi-
nal. Competent gentlemen can be found to
serve Is trustees for a very small annual fee.
Whatever Improvements are deemed neces-.
sary cen be performed gradually, 50 as to
make the burden Of expense as light as pos
sible. II the corporation is thus managed
economically, and there is no reason that it
should be otherwise, the tax upon each one
to maintain the same viii be so small that it
viii not be felt.
The question is one that should be thought
over By our citizens and IN proper time acted
upon. The RIVER PREss Is progressive and
hence II favor Of Incorporation. But there
may be ! variance of opinion, and to Get the
subject fairly before the people il its differ
e1t phases, the PEEss will throw open its
colainnsio alI who may wish to give their
views On the topic 81 reasonable length.
Let tie subject Dc agitated.

The question OF who discovered the pres
ent comet has become q momentuous one.
Over 500 people have laid claim to the honor
and the Warner Prize of 5000, and all Of
them are within comparatively the same
time. It is desirable that no injustice be
done in this matter, and to this end all par
ties who saw the comet during the week
ending June 18th, or previously, will please
forward their claims without delay to Prof.
Swift, Director of the Warner Observatory,

was made by a private individual, but who
that individual is remains to be seen.

Correspondence Of the Herald.
DALLAS, December I'm your valuable
weekly of December 1 we notice your re-
marks on the improvements in roads and
streets, which we approve, if it is done by
the wealth of our county bearing a proper
tional part Of the expenses of the mooted
project. But our present system places the
burthen on the poor and the reLter, who
have not the cash to- pay fines, consequently
must work. But the property and real es-
tate owner is released by payment of 81,
which days work should be worth $3.50 to
-, and the poorest man is made to do the
same and pay rs many fines as the most
wealthy. If you will just hold
while our coming Legislature will bring
about good streets and good roads at the
expense of the renter and the poor, for our
farms are all being cultivated by the poor.
The credit system has driven so many such
to the towns that we have enough ofthis
class (under our present laws to soon have
good streets, as well. as goods roads in the
country. Immigrant agents and immigrant
tickets will soon. get into Texas q suf1i-
cient number of the poorer class to do up all
of this much cheaper than your proposed
system Of bonds. Our Legislature has prof.
tied by Irish history. Let us be hopeful.
Truly yours,
