The commission empowered to treat
with the Flatheads for passage of the
Northern Pacific over the reservation,
after a three days session, completed
their labors by agreeing to pay the sun
of $780, 0 for the right-ofway, and to re-
imburse all Indian farmers for damages
upon their property. The right-ofway
treaty does not sell to the road the land
over which it passes; it simply allows
the construction Of the railroad over the
same, and the reserve is justa as much the
Indians home now as heretofore. No
white MAJ is allowed to settle upon it,
or to trade upon it, only the railway can
construct such buildings as are neces-
sary for the operation of their line over
the reserve MissouIi0n.

MAX WATERMAN was nominated by
reclamation for district attorney at Butte
Wednesday. The position was unsought
for by Mr.. Waterman, and in fact that
evening he had not made up his mind
that he would accept it, and is for that
reason all the more 9 compliment. Mr..
Waterman is one Of the prominent mem
bers Of the Benton bar, and is full
worthy Of the honor bestowed upon him
by the convention. Although the dis
trict is supposed to have a large demo
cratic majority he will make q strong
race, and if the electors pay any heed to
the merits of the respective candidates
Mr.. Waterman will be elected. Benton
is rightly entitled to this office, As Hell
ena has always hogged everything, and
Choteau county should give him q big
ma GRITTY.

THE SILENT VOTE.

There are indications ON every hand
that the silent vote in Choteau county
this election will be unusually large. By
the silent vote we mean the quiet, un-
ObtrusiVe vote. east for the best men, re
gardless Of politics, and without any
blow or buster in the premises. Thi5is
the vote that frequently sets at naught
the calculations Of party leaders n
often arnazes them; it is the vote that
over-rides q party majority and puts
good men in office; it is the vote that de-
feats rings and cliques organized to con-
troll the Offices, and hence it is q vote
dreaded by all who go before the electors
upon some other pretense than their
merits.
The person who circulates among the
voters and gets their opinion as regard
the issues pending, and the candidates
presented by either party, will not be
long in learning that the silent vote this
year in Choteau county will be no in
significant matter, rendering exceeding
~ doubtful the chances ofany particular
candidate.
Unquestionally it is for the best inter-
est of all concerned that there is a dis
position manifested to vote for the best
men. It will result in the selection of
officers more satisfactory to the public
and in a better administration of the
the affairs of the county. Because A is
a democrat is no reason that he should
be elected over B, if the latter is more
deserving and would prove a better
officer. We believe that this fact is now
generally recognized and will be acted
upon largely at the ensuing election.

ALEX. c.

The general opinion among the repub-
licans of Benton is that the convention
at Butte made an excellent selection OF
their standard-bearer in this campaign.
Alex. G.. Botkin is one of the most pop

the same time one of the ablest. For a
number of years he has held the position
of United States marshal for the district
of Mon AM, snl has performed the
duties O. tlat osition in an eminently
satisfactory manner. As an orator he
has perhaps no equal in the territory,
and we are assured by those who know
him we'll that his canvass will be a
thorough and brilliant Marshal
Bodkin has commanding abilities, and

as the most accomplished western ban
dit could have done it. The following
is the sequel: 1.-The recent highway
robbery at Bal Harbor, Maine, turns out
to have been a practical joke. At q

THE distance from Billings to st. Paul
is 90 miles, and the time by rail about
fifty hours, or little more than two
DAYS. If there was 3 daily fast coach
from Benton to Billings, or some nearer
point on the railroad, the time from
Benton to St. Paul would be less than
four days. After the Benton branch is
completed the time from Benton to st.
Paul will be reduced TO about two days
and a half!
