TIE COMMUNICATIONS 10 the Morn
ing News, signed "LiCense" sounds
very much like hoax. If the liquor
dealers have SIS. 900 to be applied to the
d feat of local option they would hard.
ly brag publicly about it. Besides, it
would show that they had very poor
idea Of the membeEs Of the legislature
to suppose that they coHld be bought
and sold like sheep. The disguise is
100 thin. Ii is a hoax, and not entitled
to ser GUS consideration.

The river press. [volume] (Fort Benton, Mont.) 1880-current, 1882-04-26

Mr.. George Ringwald, of Ringwald. Bros.
s. Co.,, Helena, jewelers. and brokers, was in
BentonHs few days the past week making
the necessary arrangements to establish q
branch house at this point. He has leased
the room adjoining the postoffice, at present
occupied by Neil Mcintyre as a shoe shop,
and will fit it up in fine style. The location
is in al respects an excellent one and we
have no doubt the new firm will do rustling
business. Ringwald Bros. s. Co. are we'll
known throughout the the Territory as enter
prising jewellers and Benton is to be cong-at-
ulated upon securing branch of this house.
We trust that their expectations will be fully
realized.

Our Assinab0ine Letter.

FoRT AssINABoINE, April Goth, 1882.
Editors of the River Press:
After payment our Indian scouts turned
out to be the most distinguished gentlemen at
the post They invested largely in boiled
shirts, stand-up collars, red neckties, jeWelry
ad 6bituan, also paper satchels, paper pocket
books, trumpets and other articles. About
tWenty-four hours after payment they were
the happy possessors Of $4 out OF about
$3.50. In view of this fact Messrs. Broad
water & Co. will doubtless have the white
troops dismissed or annihilated, and their
places filled with Gros Ventres Warriors, for
the latter prove more of bonanza to the
suffers.
Murray Nicholson, our celebrated scout,
has just returned from long trip in the Milk
river country He reports seeing plenty of
breeds and Indians, and another expedition
is in prospect.
G. A. Broadwater & Co. g trains are rolling
in wood at the post at the rate of 900 cords
per month.
Summer is comming in good earnest-the
post is full of mosquitoes.
When lovers say good night-but they
didn't. After another tremendous squeez, 1t
was ''good morning" FRED.

Benton, Montana, Wednesday, April 26 1882

build the road to Cohlson, even if heavy
rains should wash out the heavy roadbeds at
any or all of the different passes it would not
effect the onward progress of the construc-
ton. Even if blockade for months should
occur, which is altogether improbable, it
would not stop tracklaying at the front. In
addition to this, the grading to Coulson is
nearly completed, and much has been done
even beyond that point. There can be
but little doubt but that more miles of track
will be laid on the n P. in 1882 than in any
previous year since its commencement.
There is considerable excitement and talk,
especially East of here, regarding the
Cark's Fork mines, and it is not improbable
that a stampede of considerable proportions
may take place towards the camp in short
time. In our opinion there is no doubt as to
the richness of the mines there, but people
should remember that the discoveries so far
are at very high attitudes that snow is en-
countered not only at the mines, but on the
way there, until late in the spring that there
is no wagon road to the mines, and that
there are neither provisions nor tools for sale
in the camp. Until a road shall be construct
ed all supplies must be packed in, and this
cannot be done much, if any, before the first
of June. Persons going there must provide
themselves with pack animals with which to
take their supplies or they cannot reasonably
expect to accomplish anything. Located as
they are the development of the mines. no
matter how rich they may be, will require
considerable time and capital Bozemaa

Death OF JsshM GeOWeys

Many of our re- ders will be panied to learn
that Uncle John Geowey, 80 we'll and favor
ably known in Benton and throughout Mon
tana, died at Bozaman on the 18th inst after
an illness of but few hours duration. The
deceased was on his way to Benton and
contracted a severe cold which she tly after
his arrival at the latter place terminated in
an attack of congestion of the brain. With
out struggle or outward token of pain he
Ed. Lamme where everything that was pos
sible to do was done for his relief.
Mr. Gsowey was resident of Sioux City,
Iowa, and one of the leading men Of that en-
terprisiDg city, where. for more than quar-
Ter Of century he has been extensively en-
gagged in the hardware and robe and fur bus :
ness. He had also large business interests in
New York City and other points, being one
of the most extensive dealers IN robes and
furs in the country.
For perhaps fifteen years the deceased had
made annual visits to Benton looking after
his fur trade and he seemed almost like cili-
zen of our town. He knew all the old set
tiers well; had extensive business relations
with them and the many years of friendship
and business intercourse only strengthened
their love and respect for him. The annual
visit of "Uncle John" was always looked
forward to with pleasure, and during the
past week, while he lay in the cold embrace
of death, he was expected to arrive on every
coach and m my of his frien Is were anxious
ly awaiting his coming. Strange as it may
appear no intelligence of his death was re-
ceiyed here for week, or until the sad an
nouncement was read in the columns of the
Courier.
MIR. Geowey leaves a wife and three child
ren-one son and two daughters-to mourn
their great loss. Mrs. GeoWey and family
have frequently visited Benton and are inti-
mately acquainted with many of our citizens
with whom the RIVER PRESS unites in ex-
tending heartfelt sympathy TO the bereaved
family

How 1t Locks from Bismarck.

Sheriff Heay of Fort Benton, went into
the Milk river country to capture illicit
whisky traders, but what right had he to take
the buffalo robes belonging to the Indians
and half-breeds in that section? This is a
question that the Tribune has never seen in
the newspapers and it woud'sike 10 see an
answer. The whole thing looks like steal
ar this distance. .--Basna0rck Tribune.
The Tribune must have missed few
copies of the RIVER Press, else it would not
have cl lined this idea as an original one.

RIVER REPPLES

The Butte and General Terry passed Fort
Buford Monday.
The Josephine passed Fort Buford st
s turday morning.
VIM. Gould is Captain of the Josephine
likely to be the first boat at Benton, and Joe
Coulson is in the Office.
Major J. w. Patrick in company with ar
other large colony of Mssourians is en- route
to Benton. They will take the boat at Sioux
City.
The effort to secure mail service ON the
Missouri river between Bismarck and Benton
during the boating season ought to be sue
cessful.
The Josephine will probably put in an ap-
pearance at Benton next Tuesday or We'd
nesday, and the Butte and the Terry will fol-
low quickly after.
Passengers for up the river are arriving at
Bismarck every day. There are also several
head of stock at that point awaiting trans
portation to Benton.
The Peck boats, Gen. Meade, Nellie Peck
and the Peinah, we're left on dry land after
the break up, but the first two named sue
ceeded in getting into the water without in
Jury On the 18th the Peninah was still on
the shore.
W. S. Wetzel informed Bismarck Ir5b-
une reporter recently that the Coulson line
had received great many Helena contracts
for the season, among them the firms Of
Clark, Conrad & Curtin, A NJ Hotter &
Bro, NJ. Renike, A. E. Curtin and Char e5
Lehman.
Last winter was very favorable for wood
cutting. Labor was cheap and plenty, there
was no snow to bother, the Indians made less
trouble about reservation timber, and there
was no Likelihood O. high wa er frying off
the wood. Consequently wood for the boats
is expected to range low this year-Bismorck

Captain Joseph Fecto will have command
of the Helena this year. The Pioneer Press
says of him: Fecto is one of the best as
well as the most popular Captains in the
West, and rs long ago as 1848 plowed the
waters of the Big Muddy. He was on the
Emily when she passed the Key West No. 2,
il 1862, to~ed r cofnp4niea b at Shreve-
port, above Drowned Mans rapids, and
landed at Benton-the first steamer that ever
touched what was then point beyond the
ken of geographers.
A note from Mr. T. G. Power, written at
st. Paul on the 18th inst, informs US that the
Power Line have made arrangements to have
boat leave Bismarck for Benton every Sat-
uaday during the season, on the arrival of
the train from the East. He adds: ''The
steamer Butte of our line and the Josephine
of the Coulson line left Bismarck on the 18th.
We will send the Black Hills out tomorrow
night with instructions to beat the two boats
ahead to Benton and she will if no accidents
happen. The steamer Helena now lying at
Bismarck will be next Saturday boat ard the
next will be the old reliable Benton that let
Yankton Sunday evening, the 10Th. ALI our
boats are in good repair and our Captains ca
ger to hold them in the river. The Butte
and Benten are the freight carriers and the
Helena and Black Hills the runners. Look
out for them''
