The ARMY WoRM.-Our farmers
have never had such pest before.
Two years ago they appeared in one or
two localities, but this year they are
almost everywhere Some farmers have
been almost two weeks with their en-
tire farm force battling by ditching and
other means to keep them from their
corn fields especially. Almost all have
spent d week endeavoring to prevent
their passage from one field to another
and their numbers seem to increase
instead of diminish. They appear
first iii the wheat fields, but the
damage, it is generally considered, has
not been very serious to this crop
The timothy in the hay fields, which il
younger and more tender, has suffered
most. The grass is being harvested Il
save Il from their yoracity. The corr
fields. III not carefully watched anS
guarded, would be destroyed in da,
or two by this army which moves as b,
a common impulse in the line Of de
structicin They heretofore have no
stayed more than about ten days, bu

/ fancy tO this country. The loss Of tim

Water Works.

a meeting of several prominent citi-
zens of Benton was held a few days ago
to IVA the subject Of erecting water
works at this place, and q committee
was appointed to have survey made
and determine the probable cost of the
same. The funds necessary for carrying
out the preliminary work are guaranteed
and in 4 few days the survey will be
made by Mr.. Griffith, who has had ex-
tensiye experience in such work in the
east andjudging by the enthusiasm mani
tested by the gentlemen interested III
the movement, a water works company
will be organized in Benton in a very
short time. 1t is estimated that the
works complete will no cost over S335 900,
as the situation of the town with refer
ence to the river and bluff is favorable
for their construction. If the cost would
not be greater than this estimate a stock
company can be organized without the
least difficulty, and next season will see
the water works completed.

Admitted to the Bar.

Judge Wade has issued an order that
on the filing OF his certificate from II
Of the. Iowa courts, Prot. e. r. Clingan's
name be placed OH the roll OF attorneys
in Montana. But few in Benton, out
side of the legal fraternity, We're aware
that Mr.. Clingan was a lawyer, for, with
the modesty which ever accompanies
true merit, he has refrained from blow
ing his own horn. The fact is, however,
that he has not only been admitted to
the bar in Iowa, but has practiced his
profession there, and has creditably filled
the office OF city attorney of Vinton,
Iowa, q town of over 5000 inhabitants,
TO which office he was elected by the
votes of his fellow citizens. We take
pleasure i'll chronicling the fact OF his
admission to the Montana bar, and feel
confident that he will be Il credit to the
profession.

III FIRE FIEND.
The Prairie on Fire in all D~irections-25O
Tons Of Hay Burned Near High
w~ood-sand Coulee a Couiee
Of Flames.

For the past two or three days prairie
fires have been raging in almost every
direction about Benton with most dam
aging results. On Highwood the fire
has been burning since Saturday and is
moving rapidly toward Belt creek and
the Missouri. A courier arrived yester-
day afternoon bringing the information
that $50 tons Of hay, cut and put up by
Messrs. James McDevitt and w. Ell.
Wright, has been burned to the ground,
and that nearly all the good hay land
has been burned over. The loss to
Messrs. McDeyitt e Co. is o serious one,
amounting to probably two or three
thousand dollars, and the fact that the
hay cannot be reproduced renders the
calamity so much greater. If the most
desirable hay fields in that section had
not been burned over the loss could be
soon replaced, and Messrs. McDevitt and
Wright have the necessary pluck to do
1t, but under the circumstances there is
10 such recourse.
At Sand Coulee we are informed the
fire is licking up the grass and rs there
are no streams to check its maddening
0 rse it will probably do great damage
to other property as we'll as the range.
No personal losses have as yet been re-
ported.
A fire is also raging on the Marias, and
Grnlc- xyo.r~ ~. sod yaHonfsor rac.
plainly visible from the city, presenting
a rather sublime sight. But when
thinks Of the damage being done the
range he would much rather seek else
where for the sublime in nature. The
fires to the north and northwest Of us
hdve been burning several days, and the
damage will be very great.
Tt seems useless to warn the people to
be careful with fires on the prairie. All
these fires have doubtless resulted from
the carelessness of travellers. Men seem
to forget what havoc may be created by
neglecting to extinguish a camp fire, as
III most instances this is the origin of
the destructive prairie fires. Although
the territory imposes a heavy penalty
for the offense of starting Il prairie fire,
and stock associations have offered lib
eral rewards for the conviction of any
such person, arrests are rarely, if ever,
made, and year after year the destruc-
tive fires rage about us. An example
ought to be made Of some OF the careless
n e and the effect would probably be
most Statutory.

a. X. Yerkes, writing from Saltwater,
NJ. r., to the Yellowstone Journal, says:
''Col. Pike, resident engineer located at
Billings, arrived here to-day to make ar
~rangenlents for starting a preliminary
survey to Benton from this place. This
will be a matter Of surprise TO many, as
it has long been conceded outside OF
railroad circles that Billings was TO get
this branch of the Northern Pacific rail-
road without a doubt. Col. Pike informs
me, however, that several routes will be
surveyed, and from what can be learned
the route from this point will be the one
established. The Indians in going to
the northern country have made large,
well defined trails from here, and for
several years buffalo hunters have trans
ported their hides to the Yellowstone,
down the valleys leading to this place.
The proposed route will follow up Keller
creek and strike the American Fork; it
will pass directly through the center Of
the rich Judith country to the famous
Maginnis mines, and from thence to
Benton. From q glance at the map it
can be seen that the route will be con-
siderably shorter than that from Bill
lings, and we are assured by the old
settlers that wagons can travel with ease
from here to Benton

Snow, part owner Of the Collar mine,
who is now in St. Paul and Minneapolis,
that the prospects are very bright for
placing the stock of that mine and erect
