Encouraging 10 SaocknmeaR.

The cattle men Of this Territory, and
Choteau county in particular, can prepare
themselves for one OF the most prosperous
years in the history Of the cattle business
next season. The supply of beef steers
chat will be needed for the immense army
Of men engaged in the construction of the
Canadian Pacific Railroad, will tax TO the
utmost the herds. Steers will certainly go
20 $50. and stock cattle to $40. before the
end Of the season of 1888. The demand
in the season just passed has been hard Co
supply, and has been greater than the in
crease of the herds. Then here will come
the demand for stock cattle to supply the
ranges of the Northwest Territories, lying
north Of Montana. Immense tracts OF
lands varying from 1000 to 100, 900 acres
have been leased to private individuals
and companies by the Canadian Govern
nent. and by the terms of these leases,
they must stock these countless acres
within three years of tIle date Of the lease
or the same will lapse. In fact, IN order
TO hold these immense tracts Of land, cat
tie must be putupon them, and where are
the cattle to come from? Montana. When
we consider the boundless country that is
being opened up by the advance of the
Northern Pacific Railroad and the conse-
.ouence-the diverting Of trade which Ben
ton has heretofore enioyed-some OF the
doubling ones predict that the taking away
of this trade and the cutting Oft OF trade
from the south by the advance OF the
Northern Pacific Railway will result ln
q serious loss in business to Benton ana
consequent depreciation ia value of real
estate. 10 anyone, however, VINO mas
watched the transitions Of Benton from
little frontier trading postto the large
business center that tits now, and seen
the steady growth Of every branch OF
trade. notwithstanding the cutting off en-
firely Of trade that was depended
npon a few years ago, can only wonder
where all comes from, and no more.
Benton is as yet in its infancy, every
branch of business is III its infancy, and
the settlers that will come u here
All make their homes will more than OIL
set any loss that may be oceasioned by tue
cutting off of remote trade.

Benton ms "a Manufacturing Centre

No town can expect to arrive TO any de-
gree of size, wealth, and Importance unless
every effort is made to encourage manu-
facturies of all kinds, and to give people
willing to engage in them every encourag-
ment possible. Take forexample st. Paul
and Minneapolis. Minneapolis through her
manufactures has outstripped St. Paul in
population, and the same will be true Of
Benton and other towns in the Terri
tory that now have more population.
We want -four mills, we want
saw mills and planning mills, and other
kinds of mills too numerous TO mention,
They might not pay largely at first, but
they are bound to in a every short time.

they are not coming to Montana as long as
the stage coach is the only means of travel,
and as a commencement iii Benton's pros

The Hospital Enterprise.

! meeting of the citizens of Fort Benton
was held last evening ut the County
Clerks office, FOR the purpose of devising
ways and means for the erection of build
ing for use as a Sisters Hospital.
Judge John w. Tattan was elected chair
! man, and Col. j. j. EDonnelly, secretary.
The chairman stated the object of the
meeting, and referred to the necessity Of
erecting buildings for a Sisters Hospital.
The difficulty Of securing the services
of trained nurses, and how very expensive
it Is for people without permanent homes
to provide the necessaries Of the sick bed.
The chairman also referred to the neces-
sarily expensive method of caring for the
county poor at present in existence, and to
the limited outlay that would be OCCASION
ed if the Sisters had the care Of paupers.
Rev.'Father Camp explained his att-
tude upon the question and gave his hear
ers a glimpse of the action that he had al
ready taken, concluding by suggesting the
appointment of Trustees, composed Of
gentlemen selected regardless of denom-
nation.
After some expression Of the suitability
OF a site was had and solved, upon motion
the following named gentlemen were ap-
pointed Trustees:
G. e. Conrad, I. A. Cummings, T. E.
Collins, Edward Dunno, Jere Sullivan,
John w. Power and John w. Tattan.
The following resolution was then adopt
ed
''Resoioed, that the Trustees appointed
at this meeting be and they are hereby au-
thorized and empowered to collect funds
necessary to erect suitable buildings on
the southerly corner of block number
sixty-two, in the town Of Fort Benton, as
an hospital for the use and occupation of
the Sisters Of Charity or Mercy, and to ex-
pend the said funds for that purpose, ae-
cording to their best Judgment, and to re-
port their action at a meeting, Of the sub
scribers to the fund, to be called by the
chairman of said Trustees

Let Us Incorporate.

Benton will never make much progress
in the way of internal improvements until
we incorporate. Many taxpayers have
opposed incorporation on the ground of in
creased taxation, but there are so many
things to be said in favor Of it that the ex-
ira expense incurred would not be any,
thing compared to the benefits that would
accrue to the town. We need sidewalks,
the streets should be graded, and drains
put III every street, that the flat back OF
Main street may not be transformed into q
axe every spring, and even Main street
covered with water a foot deep.
We want the streets and alleys
to be kept free Of garbage, the
breeder of all kinds of disease. We want
a fire limit established prohibiting proper
ty owners from erecting anything but
brick buildings inside q certain limit. The
building Of frame shells among sthe ex-
pensive brick buildings could be prevented
and not prove q menance to the whole
town in case a fire was to break out. Insu-
rance would be lower and in fact there are
so many things to be said in favor of in
corporation, and so few to say against it,
that we wonder that anyone with the true
interests Of Benton at heart can be other
wise than favorably disposed towards it.
Take the fire yesterday for example, a
few minutes more undiscovered on had it
occurred in the night, the expensive brick
building next to it would have certainly
been burned and who can tell how many
more. buildings would have gone.

No Republican journal that has
the least respect for itself or its opin-
ions, has attempted to defend the ras-
cally Congress which has recently
adjourned. The few small fry that
at first made a sickly effort to white
wash its blackness, are now asham-
ed of themselves and are trying TO
get out of their dilemma as easy as
possible. Here is what the New
York press thinks of it:
The Herald says: adjournment
is a relief to the people,"
The World says sit WAS the wors,
of all Congresses"
The Times says "no Congress in
many years made so bad a record
Truth says at has seldom happen.
ed that a session of Congress so Ions
and so useless has been inflicted OF
the country"
The Star says sit was a shameless:
congress"
The Sun says sit was the mos
profigate of all Congresses"
Do the people want to vote thi!
fall to endorse such q Congress a.
that2 Do they want another like it
Mr.. Shultz voted with the majorit,
party every time.

We do, however, have too much
regard for the day, and too much
~self-respect, to spend the day con-
sorting with "beer guzzlers," haunt
ing saloons, or in playing cards..
p. C..
Now who has been charging the
pious old Christian (?) editor Of the
Register with d~esecrating the Sab,
bath? Perish the thought! AS
there is nothing political connected
with the statement, and therefore
does not in the remotest way jeopar-
disc q single Republican vote, we &C
cept his simple denial without the
expense of an affidavit. Had he been
elected Justice of the Peace of the
Republican Township of Jefferson,
we certainly would have demanded
an affidavit.

"Eree Whisky and No SUNDAY"


sFree Whisky and No Sunday"
The following extracts were taken
from an address of Henry Mulhau-
ser, a Hamilton county Republican,
before the late Brewers Convention
at Cincinnati:
"Last year the persons who we're
active in the management of the
Cleveland Republican Convention
gave US their solemn promise that if
the support heretofore extended to
the party should be continued to
Governor Foster and his friends on
the ticket throughthe then approach
ing campaign, nc laws in~juriously
affecting our interests should be
passed. \ II
"In violation of this solemn COM
pact, however, the Pond and Smith
laws were forced through the Legis-
lature and coupled with provisions
rendering the Pond Law especially
tyrannical and odious to every hon
orable man in any way interested in
this business"
In view ofthe foregoing, amt Eos
ter and his crowd nice specimens to
talk about the Democratic party as
being the party of "free whisky and
no Sunday?" They took the money
of the brewers and distillers and
used it to carry Ohio, under a sol.
emn compact that the liquor and
brewing interests should not be in.
terfered with; and after the brewers
aad distillers had complied with
their part of the solemn compact,
they found themselves betrayed in
the house of their friends.
This is no Democratic party quar-.
rel, but one solely between the Re,
publican party and its late allies.
