Maaf Service Needed.

s postof1ce has been established at High
wood and Mr.. B. McCord is duly installed as
I. NJ. A postof1ce is just what the people
Of that valley need, but when there is no mail
service in connection it will be readily seen
that It is not SO great q benefit after all. If q
postofice were established at Gold Run In
the Barker District and service established.
HighWood being on a direct road to themines,
two birds could be killed with one stone, as
it were. An effort should be put forth at
once to secure this desired result, and If the
facts are rightly represented to the depart
ment we are confident that service would be
forthcoming. Several hundred people would
be accommodated if q mail route to the mines
were established. Who will move in the
matter ?

brought four huge specimens Of turnips
to the RIVER Press office, and we were re-
quired TO call il the assistance Of the '.devil''
to carry them home one at a time. They
were s%.whoppers'' and no mistake. We defy
tie Teton, Highwood or any other valley in
Montana to show their equal. It would be
no use to call on the country outside of Mon
tana. for such monsters do not grow on any
other soil. When Mr.. Brinkman commenced
to break ground for his garden on the hill
side, back Of town, people laughed at him
and said nothing would grow there, but he
now has not only q splendid lot of cabbages,
turnips, radishes, beans, peas, onions, let
tuce, corn, and the best quality Of potatoes
we have seen in Choteau county-all without
irrigation-but also apple, peach, pear, crab
apple. plum and cherry trees, which are
growing finely, and some Of which will bear
fruit next yenr.

Paid Eoeals.

Space is the stock In trade of d newspaper.
II is bought and sold at a regular price, just
as the merchant buys and sells his wares, and
the sale is in no respect different in q BUSH
ness point OF view from the latter tIansac-
ton. In some papers space is more valuable
than in others, various circumstances com
spring to fix its current price. The New
York Herald charges two dollars a line for
local notices, and the RIVER PRESS but ten
cents 9 line. Some papers charge nothing
for business locals, actually give away their
staple commodity, space, but IL all such
cases the gift is not a very valuable one. The
supply is greater than the demand, and the
depreciation natural enough. IT one Of our
dealers should give away small parcels Of
sugar, coffee, tea, ETC., to every one who
should come along, what would be thought
Of him The clear inference would be the
man is crazy Or his goods worthless. So,
when you fnd a newspaper giving away
apace-the only commodity it has for sale
you can put it down in your little book that
that paper is not crowded with stads'' and
that its space does not rate very high in the
market. The RIVER Press has not an inch
to give away. What is not paid for at regu-
lar rates belongs to the subscribers, and will
be faithfully filed with desirable reading
matter. All business locals will be charged
at ten cents o line, and they are dirt cheap at
that. This is the rule of the RIVER PRESS
without aay regard to what other papers do.
But, it should be understood, that whenever,
in the way Of a legitimate news item, we can
say anything that will be of benefit to our
advertising patrons, no paper can be more
willing to do SO than the RIVER PRESS. We
always take a pride in doing such work. AS
there has been q slight misunderstanding on
the part OF q few we write the above to rem
der our position clear.

Incorporation.

A meeting Of several prominent citizens
was held at the Record roomsl last evening to
discuss the question Of incorporation and
take the initial steps towards securing a town
government for Benton.
Mr.. W. G. Conrad was called to the chain
and w. Fl. Hunt appointed Secretary. The
advantages and disadvantages of incorpora-
ton were then discussed at some length after
which the meeting voted unanimously in fa-
yor Of incorporation.
Col. Clendenin was appointed to secure q
surveyor and have a plat of the town made
according to the requirements Of the law.
w. FL. Todd was elected as superinten-
dent of the census and was instructed to
have the enumeration taken at once.
Col. Donnelly was appointed to prepare the
proper notices and see to their publication.
After these first steps have taken and the
required notice published six weeks the ques-
ton will be decided at the polls. We have
faith enough in the enterprise Of Benton's
citizens to believe they will vote . progressive
ba1lot-Yote for better streets, better side
walks, better drainage and the general i'm
movement of our town.

One Of the sensations Of the week is the
arrest of Herman Gunther, the Quartermas-
ter's clerk at this place, and the Nee brothers,
the first charged with disposing of govern
ment property without authority and the
others of purchasing and receiving the same.
The arrests were made on Monday by U. s.
Marshal j. K. Beidler, when the parties gave
bail to appear before u. s.. Commission
er Rolfe IN Friday. This proceeding is a
surprise to all because of the high standing
OF the parties in the community. Isaac and
Richard Nee rank among our best citizens
and there are few indeed who are ready to
believe that they would enter into a conspir-
acy to defraud the government.
The facts in the case are that for several
years Richard Nee did the blacksmithine for
the post at this place, receiving a stipulated
monthly sum for his services, the govern
ment furnishing everything. They were to
furnish coal, but not having that article, gave
wood in lieu of the same. When the troops
were removed from Benton a years coal, or
wood, was due Mr.. Nee and the same was
delivered to him by the authority Of the post
commander. Other than this, his rightful
due, he received no wood from the Post.
He has also q number Of government mule
shoes, for which, being too small for use, he
gave shoes of his own instead, agreeing with
the officers on q basis of exchange. This is
the extent Of his offending as we haye
learned.
It seems to be a case of pure spite work.
The information upon which the arrests were
based was filed by Jacob Herman, late part
ner of Isaac Nee, and who is nov having
trouble with the latter in reference to their
settlement. This simple statement is enough
to show the true animus of the proceedings.

mind will soon be wrestling with the prob

about Benton and nearly every day one or
more lodges come in to trade. There seems
to be q movement south on the TART Of the

suffered last season, are q little apprehensiYe
Of these movements and propose to organize

to that end will be held in this city on the

Probably she Lass.

The Rosebud, which left the levee ON Mon
day, is probably the last boat that will put in
an appearance at Benton this season. Here
after the freight for Benton will be unloadea
at Cow Island, the Coal Banks, or at the
Marias, according as fortune favors the
movements Of the steamers. The little
Rosebud had rather a hard time to get here,
even after unloading a goodly portion of her
freight down the river, and when she cannot
make The rifle it is useless for other boats to
attempt il. The boating season to Benton
has closed rather early and with serious loss
to the town, as the freight on all goods that
come hereafter will be much higher.

At least 8 hundred additional teams, and
we put it mildly, could find steady employ
men. in Benton from now until the end of
the season. Several teams are needed to
haul lumber from the mouth of Sun River,
over a good road, and first class wages can
be made. Outfits are also in demand to haul
wood and coal to this city; for transporting
goods from down the river, and for various
other purposes. Work will be steady until
the billiards. come and if there are any
freighters in the Territory out of a job they
should turn their bulls heads towards Benton
and make fast time.

Arrested by Uncle sans,'s Authority

X. Beidler came down from Fort Assina-

been arrested by the authorities at the post
on the charge Of assisting deserters across
the line. One Of them, q Mr.. Sturgeon, was
dismissed upon examination before .. s.

to show that he had knowingly engaged in
such work. The soldiers, dressed in citizens
clothes, had obtainedpermission to ride in his

week.

Drowned

Last Sunday, about aeon, James j. FIett,
herder for w. B. Smith, rode his horse into
the river near the rear Of K1einschnidt Bros
establishment to drive his herd across the
stream, and getting into deep water both man
and horse were drowned ia sight Of soma
fifty persons on the banks. Flett had his
feet in the stirrups and maintained bis posi-
ton il the saddle. He also pulled on the
rein, drawing the animals head under water,
and in the struggle the horse fell over on its
back and lost all CONTROL Of itself in The
water. Flett could not swim, and he Went
down with the horse, to rise no more. The
drowning took place in q moment, and be-
fore those on the shore could have had time
to save the man, had any been willing to run
the risk. The body has not been recovered.
The deceased was a young man, about 27
years old, and has been in Benton for the
past nine years. He was an honest, indus
trious fellow, and every one who knew him
speaks Of him in terms Of praise. His home
is in one Of the Islands near Scotland, where
his mother and other relatives reside. Just
the day before his untimely death he informed
Jim McDeyitt that he intended to return to
Scotland this fall and was making prepare
tions to that end.
When Flett came to this country he en-
tered the employ (or rather became one of
the slaves) Of the Hudson Bay Company and
was stationed far north in British America.
With one or two companions he deserted and
fled south on foot. After suffering the most
severe hardships and almost starving to death
they reached Benton where their wants were
first relieved by Mr.. j. D. Weatherwax.
Flett worked for the latter 3 long time and
Mr.. W. speaks in the highest terms Of the
deceased.

George Houk, Of the Overland Hotel, has
added to his agricultural and horticultural

we noticed some wheat and oats from the
ranch OF Hon. James Armour, Of HighWood,
which are hard to beat in any country. But

whole bake oven, as far as we have seen.
