JOHN KELLY's followers in the New York
Legislature have united with the Republi-
cans against the regular Democrats and have
received their reward in the way Of chair
manships, etc. 1t is known that G ". Cornell
and other leading Republicans were instru-
mental in bringing about the barter and sale,
otherwise called n ''deal,' and it is not at all
crediiable to them. An alliance with Kelly
and Tammany will work di-astrously to the
Republican party of New York and the re
turns from the next election will prove it.

ZION and are certain to come when our prog
ress demands it; but it depends entirely on the
Individual IF ,rts of the citizens whether or
no the town is 10 he orn.mented with shade
trees, and we hope that each one will realize
the responsibility resting upon him.
A large number OF fruit trees, ~shrubbery,
etc. were ordered by our citizens last tall,
many times larger Than ever before, sho wing
that the importance of this matter OF tree
planting is to a great extent real zed. But Ia
addition 10 these there should be a large
number Of shaie trees planted. Cottonwood
and box elder trees of convenient size can
be obtained on the river banks near town
and at very small expense. They are indig-
/ enous 10 the soil and grow rapidly IS has
been shown by experience. The row of cot
| ,onw0od trees in front of the Overland hotel,
| the farthest advanced in town, were plant
ed out only five years ago. Suppose = thous-
and trees had been set out at that time and
| cared for what a beautiful, shady appear
| ance Benton would present this summer !
Then let everyone who has q lot see to il
that he does his share this spring to render
| the Benton Of five years hence . city of
| shaded streets and beautiful yards. This il
| the time to act. Let no one think OF pro-
| crastination in SO important q matter.
The river press. [volume] (Fort Benton, Mont.) 1880-current, 1882-03-08
PLANT TREES.

The time for tree planting will soon be at
hand and we sincerely trust the people of
Benton will not let it pass by unimprovcd.
There is no question but that trees of almost
any kind will grow here rapidly, and that
after a few years they will add largely to the
beauty and attractiveness of our town will be
readily admitted. If the Benton of five
years hence is to have it's numberless shade
and fruit trees, its promising young orchards,
its arbors and grassy plats-the first and easy
steps must be taken now. The sooner our
people realize the importance of tree plant
ing, and act accordingly, the sooner will this
desirable status of aft airs obtain.
It is only in the last two or three years
center has been apparent. Prior to that time
its future was not considered the most secure
and the few people who were here thought
little of permanent improvement, the build
ing up and adornmena of homes or of beauti-
flying the town. Had they imagined that
three years would bring about euch wonder
full changes, transforming an Indian trading
pos: into q prosperous and promising city,
there would be fifty trees in an advanced
stage of growth for every one now.
But at the present time there can be no
excuse whatever for negligence in this par
ticular. The future Of our Town is assured.
1t is destined to grow rapidly year by year as
the great tributary country is developed. If
there was q doubt on that score three OF four
years ago there can be none now. The rapid
growth Of the past two years and the sui :
stan,ial development Of the country surround
ing leave no room to doubt that Benton has
q bright future.
BY planting trees now property owners
not only subserve their own interest by max
ing attractive and more valuable their homes,
but they also take an important part in beau
tifying the Benton of the future. in the
course Of time our town will be incorporated
and sidewalks, streets, sewers, ETC., con
structed under municipal authority. These
improvements will be made by the corpora.

THE MONTANA RAILROADS.

THERE has been another change in the
programme of railroad building in Montana
and this time the indications point more
clearly to the fact that the Northern Pacific
and Utah 8 Northern companies have pooled
their issues and will use a three rail track for
days ago all work on the extension Of the
q. & N. to Helena ceased by orders from
headquarters and it is understood the line
will be pushed from Silver Bow to Deer
Lodge at once, the latter point to be reached
by June Is: of the present year. The NeW
North West, usually we'll posted concerning
the operations Of these roads, says the full
particulars of the pooling agreement can not
yet be obtained but that The following items
ere known TO be agreed upon:
(1). The graders On the u. s. N. Railway
from Dillon toward Helena have been Or
dered to and have stopped work;
(2) The immediate construction Of q rail
road from Silver Bow to Deer Lodge has
been ordered;
~. The work in the Silver Bow canyon
will be completed by April LIT and freight is
to be delivered in Deer Lodge by July Is.
for Helena, Missoula and intermediate points;
a.. The work is to be done under tbs
supervision of Engineer Blickensderfer of
q. s. N. Co.: the locating line adopted by
him will be the one used, and the first track
will be laid to narrow gauge; but the road
bed, ties and iron will be standard guage;
(5), There is already shipped for this
work iron sufficient o lay fifty miles of track
and it is o arriving at Silver Bow;
(t) il is confidently believed the road
will be constructed to Deer Lodge by June 1,
1882. and
~. We have very good reason to believe
the U. & N. will not be constructed further
north thar Deer Lodge this year, unless
other arrangements than those now made
are hereafter contaminated.
The new turn of aff airs, which will make
Deer Lodge The terminus of the road, for the
present season at least, is likely to throw 9
little lite Into that burg-to give it in fact
something in the nature of a big boom.
However, it is not best to count these railroad
chicks before they are hatched. the next
general order from the east may change the
face of affairs entirely.

little ON Ill subjects ct general interest. We
will tell everybody OF their faults, that they
may know them and improve them and profit
thereby. Our patrons are requested to learn
everybody's BUSINESS, ana if any family jars
occur record them for our paper. But We
must no, be personal. For instance: it you
| have q particular optic assisst John Smith,

Judge Burcher was considerably taken by
surprise and amused u few day. since. when
a burly fellow stepped into his Office with the
following verbal complaint:
II want to have some hogs arrested"
swell. what's the complaint" said the
Judge.
'lf you mean what grounds. Judge, they
have broken down my new picket fence and
rooted my stable door open, drove the horses
out of the stable and took possession of the
premises"
The Judge meditated . little too long for
| the complainant, who suddenly turned upon
| his heel and left the office, murmuring as he
went out that he would go home and fight it
out, and the probability was the hogs would
do the next complaining.
