A Observation-Disclosures complain loudly
of the condition of Commonwealth avenue.
That is the pretentious cognomen of an
alley running from I to L street and thence
southerly between Front and Second. They
say that between J and K streets the alley is
made the receptacle for all kinds of filth,
ashes, slops, dead cats, refuse matter, decay
ing vegetation, etc. That at points in that
block the surface is so worn away that the
trucks now run literally on the arch of the
6-foot brick sewer, and they expect almost
any day to see truck cave into the sewer
when the city will have bill to pay and
sewer to repair. Where the sewer is not ex-
posed the dirt and filth is thick and offensive.
All in all, the truckmen who are compelled
to draw loads through the alley daily are
very much exasperated about the condition
of the alley.

nished by James A. Barwick, of the Signal
Service: Rainfall for storm of yesterday

Death of III. w. smith.

Almost everybody in Benton knew r. ".
Smith, but few were aware Of bis serious
illness. and the announcement Of his death
came as a shock to his friends. Will Smith
was formerly in the employ Of Murphy, Mel
u Co, IN this city, and last summer went out
to live on his ran b near town. He went
East last winter, where he was married, aud
left his bride there while he returned to pre-
pare her home. He was Ill an the boat, and
since his arrival here. May IN. has been con-
fined to his room at the Centennial, where he
expired early last Saturday morning. The
funeral took place Sunday afternoon from
the Episcopal church. Mr.. Smith was q
young man Of promise, and had many warm
friends in Benton. Our sympathy goes forth
to hi. ~sorrowing relatives, and parlicularlyto
the young wife whose sun Of happiness has
been so early darkened by the hand Of death.

Word has been received at Benton that on
or about the first day of June an old man
named Howard, an old time freighter in Ne
vada and Montana, was shot dead at house,
fifteen miles from Fort Maginnis. by a neigh
Dor nnmed Boyle. The difficulty grew out
OF u small whisky bill which the latter owed
the former. Doyle was passing Towards
house when he was accosted by the latter
and asked to liquid te the bill. This he re-
fused TO do, and Howard started for bis
cabin as if to get his gun, saying he would
make him pay, or words TO that effect. Be
fore he had got TO his cabin, hoWever, boy lie
drew his weapon and shot him, the wound
proving fatal in a few hours. Doyle after
wards went to Maiden and gave himself up,
but was not held under arrest. These are the
facts as we have learned them, though they
NAV not be correct in detail. Howard and
DOYLE were ranchmen and neighbors ana
have always, We understand, been on friend
lvterms. The deceased was about sixty
years of age and came to this section from
Nevada last year with a bull team, which be
sold 70 Ed. Smith. Doyle is q pilgrim, Wfo
has heretofore been a ptaceable man, but il
seems that he was an apt scholar il
picking UP the ways ofthe frontier. If the
facts are as stated we can sec no j~ustifca-
ton Of the act.

Editors OF The River Press
Accepting an invitation of Mr.. r. :. Ellis
your correspondent visited the sawmill on
Lions creek, near the Prickly Pear Canyon.
On arriving there | was agreeably surprised
to find the mill in . place which nature seems
to have intended for just such an enterprise.
Perfect water power, an inexhaustible sup
ply of splendid timber, good grazing for the
stock used in moving lumber and logs are
only q few Of the many advantages which
and manager of this mill, is one Of those
genial, kind spirited and enterprising men
we are always glad to meet, and is q first
class mechanic. He has made many i'm
provements on the machinery which is used
in his mill. and stated with pride that he
could furnish clear lumber, shingles, lath
and planks, OF all sizes. inferior to none in
the Territory and the statement is fully sub
stantisted by the many nicely assorted stacks
of lumber, ETC., to be found in the vicinity of
the mill.
With a waterfall of "a feet, u "a inch
wheel, and a saw 81 inches in diameter, the
the mill, when worked to its full capacity,
can turn out from ten to twelve thousand
feet of lumber, and from eight TO ten thous
and shingles and lath per day. For the bet
ter convenience OF customers Mr.. Ellis has
established u lumber yard in the Canyon,
seven miles south of Wolf Greek and * III
miles north of MitchelI's ranch, Immediately
on the Helena and Benton road, where be
will be able to supply any order on short TO-
tise. Mr.. Thomas Swi,zer will be in charge
Of this yard, and is ready to attend TO any or
der at all times.
This lumber yard will be a convenient a
place to haul from, taking everything into
consideration, as teams can DO turned GU,
and wagons loaded without any loss Of time,
and the grazing throughout the Canyon is
excellent. Mr.. Ellis assured me that salts.
factory barga rs can always be secured.
We wish him abundant success, and
many thanks f,r the kind attention he has
shown, yours truly, CLAYTON.
