priated for the Improvement 81 rivers

duck creeks and frog ponds, which are
alleged to be navigable waters. The
fact that the Missouri river from Eionx
City to Fort Benton, the nostimportant
portion Of that great stream, gets but
100000 is well calculated to show that
the money has not been j~udiciousiy APP
prppriated. The disposition throughout
the session has been TO spend money
freely, while the important reforms asked
by the people have been discussed by the
month-only that and nothing more.
The majority have certainly furnished
the democrats plenty of capital for the

to tell in the congressional elections.

A o o FOR MAGINNIs.


The Hus6dndman has the following on
the delegate question, fayoring the cleo
ton Of Major Maginnis for another
term. It might be a little rough On the
other fellows who have an abolition in
that direction, but the interests Of the
territory would not suffer in the least If
Mr.. Maginnis were given another term:
"It is generally understood that Delegate
Maginnis desires to retire from the office;
that he, like many others, thinks he has
held the office long enough, and ought,
out Of courtesy to his political friends, to
step down and out, and give so1ne other
aspirant a show. This Is very good
reasoning from 3 political standpoint,
but it is not exactly business. Now, we
do not believe in lifetime officers, but
there is one thing quite sure, no dele
gate from Montana has ever represented
the people so well as Major Maginnis,
and there is no man in the territory who
is now SO well qualified for the position
as he. Nor do we believe there's q man
liz GlG LEAl1LCly W1iU11 LILAC IAeJOiAOJ VI
the people would rather see occupy the
office. Although o partisan, he has lain
party preiudices aside and worked for
the good of the whole country and the
whole people, whether republicans or
democrats, and his laboGs have been
crowned with success. There are plenty
ofmen in the territory who would make
good delegates, but without experience,
we cannot hope that any will achieve as
much rs Major Maginnis could. Be
sides we have taken the chances Of
getting q man owned by some railroad
corporation, which would be disastrous,
and since Maginnis is an unbiased repre-
sentative of the people, and not bound
to any corporation, we believe it would
be the part Of wisdom to return him
again, If indeed he could be induced to
acceptthe pOsition.fi

TEE WORK or CONGRESS.

If congress has not already adjourned
it will soon. and perhaps ii would have
been as well if the members had gone to
their homes long ago. It has been the
most ~extravagant congress that yermet,
and while it was lavish in the way of
making appropriations, but little has
been done to relieve the burdens Of the
people. The passage of the Chinese bill,
ever in its limited form, was an act O..
justice to the west, and the legislation
intended to suppress ~polygamy in Utah
was well timed-bnt there are few adj
ditional measures adopted by the present
congress that can be referred to with
any great degree Of pride. The internal
revenue bill, calculated to lessen the
general burden Of taxation, was killed
i'm the senate. The only effort to secure
tariff reform was the appointment OF o
commission favorable to high protection
which will meet at some pleasant water
ing place and adopt o report that will
have but very little weight in shaping

THERE is general dissatisfaction among
The democrats Of Benton in reference to
the place of holding the territorial CON
vention. Butte is not centrally located,
and it will work a hardship upon the
delegates from this county, as well as
others, TO attend the convention. Helena
is the central point, and could be reached
more easily by u large majority OF the
delegates, for which reason it is believed
by the democrats of Choteau county the
convention, as a matter Of rightand JUS
tice, should have been called to meet at
the capital. There is no prejudice
against Butte with the exception that it
is not the most accessible point. The
"fne Italian handV of Sam Word is
plainly visible throughout the proceed
ings Of the central committee.

Rakar is now

now adorn the town. Mr.. Baker is
more convinced than ever that Benton
i the coming metropolis Of the north
west, and his house, as in the past, will
do its full share towards advancing her
interests.
But Mr.. Baker was not long IN this
fertile field Of traffic until a competitor
worthy Of his steel, SO TO speak, came
along in the person Of Mr.. r. c. Power.
1t was in 1867 that Mr.. Power landed IN
Benton, one d after I. G. Baker Il Bro.
began business here for themselves. Mr..
Power possessed the energyand business
tact to succeed III any country, and he
soon became q "power' in influence as
well as name in this section. His BUSH
ness ventures were invariably successful
from the start, and after a few years he
points about Benton, supplied from the
parent house, and, like the parent house,
they prospered. Mr.. Power has justly
earned his title OF Commodore being
the chief promoter OF the steamboat
business on the upper Missouri, and in
consequence one of Benton's greatest
benefactors. Eight years ago he put his
first boat, the Benton" on the river,
and is now the principal owner of four
Of the best boats that pillow the waters of
the upper Big Muddy. When he first
embarked in this enterprise a good
many thought he had suddenly lost his
business sagacity, but the faet was Mr..
Power could see at longer range than any
Of them, and what seemed to others q
doubtful venture was clearly presented
TO him as the crowniRg success of all his
investments, even though ct first he
should be hampered and embarrassed by
adverse circumstances. With a regular
line of boats on the upper river. bringing
freight at comparatively low figures and
rendering Benton the entrepot Of Mon
tana and the Northwest territory-there
could no longer be any doubt of the
building upof a great commercial center
at this point. The result has justified
Mr.. Powers belief and to his endeavors
in a great part Benton must ascribe her
rapid growth,
It is years since these founders OF the
river metropolis have met on their old
stamping ground together, and it's meet
that Benton Should doff her hat to them.
The RIVER PRESS trusts that visits from
both of them will be more numerous in
the future.

TIE territorial democratic convention
has. been called to meet at Butte on Mon
day, September 4, for the purpose OF
n~ominatinga candidate for delegate to
congress and the transaction of other
business. The apportionment is one
delegate for every fifty votes and fraction
of fifty over twenty-five, giving to the
different counties the following repre-
sentation in the convention: Beaver
head, Il; Choteau, 10; Custer, IA; Deer
Lodge, 10; Gallatin, II; Jefferson, IL;
Lewis and Clark, q; Madison, 13;
Meagher, Il; Missoula, II; Silver Bow,
%; total 156. The result is as predicted
by q prominent democrat Of Benton, viz:
that the convention would be held at
Butte and the superintendent as it is,
rather than one delegate for every fifty
votes and one for q fraction of fifty. The
plans are doubtless laid to secure the
nomination of q Butte man, doubtless
Mr.. Samuel Word himself. There will
be, however, some vigorous .skicking''
against the arrangement.

TWO OLD TIMERS.

[. G.. Baker and r. C.. Power are in
Benton, both at once. There are ne
other two men living whose lives and
history are more closely identified with
this town than the gentlemen named,
and although both now reside elsewhere
the first at St. Louis and the other at
Helena-drawn there by extensive BUSH
ness interests, neither has lost a particle
of his love for Benton, and in the case Of
both their varied interests at this place
are growing in magnitude every suc
cessive year.
Leaving out Of the case the American
Fur company, Mr.. Baker enjoys the
distinction of being the first merchant
of Benton. He was at first connected
with the fur company, OF which he was
o member, and in 1856 established at
Fort Benton the house Of I. G.. Baker &
Bro, which afterwards became {. G..
Baker g. Co, q nar1e that Is now a house,
hold word throughout Northern Mon
tana and the northwest territories.
When Mr.. Baker commenced business
here there but few white people in
Northern Montana, perhaps twenty-five
would be an overestinlate. His trade
was with the Indians, and doubtless it
proved profitable enough, and at the
same time as hazardous as the teuses t
heart could wish. Before Mr.. Baker
returned to ST. Louis, his present home,
% considerable change caTne owe the
scene, and besides the Indian trade,
diminished to ON extent, O different
class Of goods were required to meet the
wants OF the hardy hunters, trappers
and others who headquartered at Ben
ton. The navigation of the Missouri
had also commenced, and with Benton
st the head Of navigation the transition
from Indian trading pure and staple, to
ordinary commercial transactions was
| rapid, and before Mr.. Baker left the ter
ritory Benton's future WAS assured, and
no one was more firmly convinced OF
| the fact than himself. 1T is four years
since Mr.. Baker has been in Benton be

changes have taken place-eyen the fine

BiUY Observation-Disclosures


The city Of Portland appears now 70
great advantage. Business never was
more brisk, nor the times more easy,
nor money more plenty. The place is
full Of people, and il growing rapidly.
Il i also growing magni6cently. The
money spent upon the streets during the
last three years must approximate a
million dollars, which is an enormous
expenditure for town of from fifteen
to twenty-five thousand inhabitants.
There must be a thousand residences in
the city built at cost Of above $3.50
each, and probably one hundred built at
. cost of $4,000 each. Many Of these
residences are very elegant. and are
adorned with charming grounds. The
business houses of the city are also ex-
sremsly creditabls, some of them being
structures that would average well in
sise, cost and finish with business houses
in cities five times Portland's popula-
ton. The public buildings of the
town are very fine. The centsring of
railroad and shipping interests there,
By Mr.. Willard and those with him, has
given the place great impetus. which
must b considerably accelerated dur
ing the coming year. The roads enter
ing and about to enter the city are
bringing it an immense new traffic.
They are also quickening every line Of
old traffic-wholesale and retail mer-
chandisina, manufacturing, real estate,
immigration, etc. The railroad people
are now spending several million dollars
in tine immediate vicinity Of the city.
A part Of the expenditure will cover the
road now building down the Columbia;
part the immense depot TO be built,
the estimated cost of which is 81 ,5OO,-
600; third part the dry dock, now
In course Of construction, intended TO
accommodate ships as large as any now
now aAoat on the Pacific ocean: fourth
part the great dock of 260O feet in length,
work on which has already begun.
Portland, to use a wsll-worn. but trite
simily, il like the man in the Jail, whose
lawyer told him they could not put him
in Jail for any such alleged cause, but
Who retortsd that he was there all the
same. People on the coast Of Oregon,
all through Washington and in Califor-
mia, have for twenty years been loudly
sxslaiming, and proving beyond dispute,
that Portland never could be a seaport,
and never could be large city, and yet
all the time the place has been a seaport
and has been city increasing visibly
svsry year in wealth. population and i'm
