The political contest in Penn.
sylyania cannot be considered, strick-
ly speaking, as struggle for a party
supremacy. 1t has more of the
character of a war al'entrance of the
honest people against the corrupt
bosses. The gallant and successful
stand made BY the citizens of Penn
sylvanis against the ring, which has
SO long imposed its arbitrary rule
upon them, conveys 10 as a useful
lesson. 1t demonstrates what can
be accomplished by earnestness of
purpose and unity of action. 1t
shows that the powers ofan outraged
people are invincible when they are
reused to exert them. AS the stu
atoms in Pennsylvania and Louisiana
are, in many respects identically
the same, let us profit, by the good
example set US.

BADEN BADEN-Thousands of Am
orleans seek health during the sum
mer months by quaffing the crystal
waters Of some fashionable springs,
while just as many sufferers remain
Mt home through sheer necessity.
The Baden Baden Springs, of Ger
many, are perhaps the most noted in
the world. The water of these
springs is Aperient, acting pleasantly
and gently upon the stomach, bowels
and kidneys. The active principles
of these celebrated spripgs:have been
combined, forming a beautiful white
salt, which has been bottled up for
family use, and Is now oIered the
American people under the name of
Bailey's Saline Aperient at so cents
per bottle. The salt possesses all
the qualities of Baden Baden water,
is very pleasant. effervescent and
sparkling, relieving constipation,
sick headache, sour stomach, etc., at
once.

The river press. [volume] (Fort Benton, Mont.) 1880-current, 1882-06-14

There is not a residence or q business
is impossible even to secure a sleeping
room, as a gentleman who made an I'M
successful search i'm this direction the
other day, informs us. Strangers who
come to our town to locate find it II of
the greatest drawbacks that no tenement
houses can be had. AS a consequence
rents are high, in fact, out of all proper
ton with other values. What is needed
here more than anything else, as shown
by this demand, are houses that can be
rented at moderate prices. If several
such were erected, Benton's population
would increase materially, and the boom
that has struck the river metropolis this
year swell in proportions. But while
the erection of buildings of this char
acter would be a good thing for the town,
would it not also bring big returns to the
owners Of the same? What better in
vestment for capital is there in en-
ton to-day? We do not believe a gen
tleman with 'cattle Oh a thousand
hills" or sheep in a dozen coulees would
in the end of the year realize a bigger
per cent. on the investment than the
proprietors OF neat, rentable residencesin
Benton. We trust that as o as ma
terial arrives, and it will be plenty in a
short time, our capitalists will turn their
attention to this subject and supply the
long felt want. The Building Associa-
ton is doing a good work but it is not
eval to the emergency. Private capital
must come to the rescue to supply the
demand.

LOCAL POLITICS..

There has been a dearth of interest the
past few weeks in the coming "cam-
paign,n but the time is near at hand
when the battle will be waged in earn
est. We have already heard some anx-
ious inquiries as to when the conventions
will be called, and doubtless in the very
near future the leaders will begin getting
their lines in readiness for the fray.
There will be, of course, an interesting
contest for the various territorial posi-
tons at the gift of the people, and it be-
hooves the electors to call the best men
to the front; but with the people of Cho-
teau county the principal interest should
center in the local contest. 1t m
nearer home. The taxpayer is more in
terested in seeing that the county COM
missioners are progressive, enterprising
men, whose judgment may be relied up
on; that the treasurer is honest and capa-
BILE; that the sheriff ID a man who will
perform the duties of the office well and
faithfully and at the least expense, and
SO on through the entire catalogue-they
are interested in these officers and offices
much more than in the Delegate to con-
gress or any other. # they are not, at
least they should be.
Politics should not be permitted to en-
ter as a factor in selecting men to fill
these places. Because you are a demo
CT t you should not vote for a democrat
for a county office when you know he is
not worthy, and that his competitor; al
though of opposing politics, would per-
form the duties required more accepta-

THE RIVER PRESS
THE RIVER PRESS.

It ought not be considered vain to say
something about ourselves in this con-
nection. The RIVER. PRESS is but a
year and a half old, but during the
short period Of its existence it has made
some rapid strides in the way of pro-
gress. 1t is rarely that a paper is COM
menced under more embarrassing cir
cumstances, and its patronage at first
Was necessarily limited. But month by
month its influence has extended and it's
support has become more generous, III
til now, we think, w can justly claim
a larger advertising patronage (omitting
legal work. than any other paper in the
Territory. The circulation of the RIVER
PRESS has been constantly increasing,
as has, we feel safe in saying, the num-
Der of it's friends.
Last Tuesday morning the first num-
Der Of the Daily was issued, and SO we'll
has it been received by the good people
Of Benton that we are now, at the end of
the first week, compelled to enlarge to a
five column folio in order to meet the
demands OF our advertising space, and
furnish such a paper as the patronage
awarded merits.
We have also put on a new dress COM
plete, and added some forty fonts of job
and advertising type to the office-at a
total outlay Of over $500. Hereafter we
will be enabled to present our readers a
paper as neat in typographical appear
nee as any in Montana, and no new
country can boast of better papers as a
class.
Our Weekly will hereafter contain a
much larger amount Of reading matter,
and will be essentially a local paper, con-
tanning all the news of Benton and the
country tributary. The price of the
Daily will remain the same-twenty-five
cents a week-and we hope to make it a
welcome visitor in every home in Ben
ton.

bly,. 1t is sheer nonsense to give your
suffrages to a person that you know is
not worthy, and for the simple and only
reason that he belongs to the same party.
Such action has foisted many an incom-
petent man upon local governments, re-
are not certain but that Choteau county
has suffered some from the same cause,
and trust the error will not be repeated
this fall. If your party does not make
good nominations, teach the leaders a
lesson by defeating the men put up.
1t is time to- give this subject consider
alton. The place to begin selecting good
men is in the conventions, and if it is
not done there, the people should take
the work in hand and make the proper
choice at the polls, withouta any reference
to party brand.
Choteau county is now at that peculiar
stage when it is essential that her officers
should be men entirely competent, and
worthy Of the fullest trust. We want
no "rings" or persons who seek official
places for the sake of undue gain. There
are plenty of men possessing the Jeffer
sonian qualities who will take the places,
and the voters should see to it that only
such are chosen. It doesn't make so
much difference about party-what is
needed is honest, competent, worthy
men to fill the nlaceS. Let uS make I'M
our minds now to select none other.

There was but 8 feet six inches of water

The Tax Commission.


 The new tax commission will consist of three members, two of whom are appointed, Alexander Troup on the part of the city, and Hobart L. Hotchkiss appointed by the Selectmen to represent the town,-the addi- ton of member from the Board of Educa- ton completing the number.
 The powers and duties of the commission which was authorized and created by the last Legislature for the town school district and city of New Haven-are defined in the appended sections taken from the private act creating it. The act says:
 It shall be the duty of said committee to make rec concentrations in reference to the settlement con- promise of any claim due said city, town school district the time of the passage Of this act for h assessments, on such terms may seem just and
 No recommendation of said committee shall have any effect unless unanimously made and signed by each member of the committee.
 Said recommendation, when 20 made, ehau be pre- sented to each said bo rds and if said recommen- tion shall be concurrsd in by vote of each of said board, shall be the duty of the tax collector to compromise and settle such claim in accordance with such recomme ndation.
 The committees meetings will be adver- tised in the papers, and they will meet once a month at least, while the meetings will be at tended by the corporation counsel on the par. of the city and the Town Agent or other SC lectman in the interest of the town. The object of having the commission was to clear the books of all arrearages of taxes, whether direct taxes or assessments for city inn provements, such as sewers, pave ments, streets, sidewalks, etc. On the first of February last there was due the town in uncollected taxes the sum of $62. GOO, the city $1O6 GOO, and the school district $21,- GOO. Since then the total has been reduced by the payment of about $2O,0OO of the ar rearages Part of this sum is made up, however, by subsequent liens, To the citys arrears of direct taxes, however, there must be added about $32 900 from assessment liens, put on by reason of public improve ments, so that the city is interested in the work of the commission to the amount ot nearly $14O.OOO.
