Rates on immigrants moveables are agreed
upon as follows: From Chicago to Bismarck,
$40 a car or $1.471 per cwt. in small lots;
from Chicago to Glendive, $40 a car or
81. 9611 per cwt. in small lots; from Chicago
to Miles City 1851 per Car or So. 10 per cwt,
in small lots.
The Chicago, Milwaukee and 81. Paul
company have issued circulars giving special
rates on freight from st. Paul to Benton, ar
irving at Bismarck on or before July 10th,
to wit: All four classes, $40 per cwt.;
powder in iron magazines, $3.50 per 100
pounds; furniture released, So 70 per 100
pounds. They also agree to carry cattle
from Bismarck to Benton in Car lots $15;
fancy stock $25.
By adding the rates from Chicago to st.
Paul $50 cents) to the agreed rates from the
latter point to Benton ($1.40) give through
rates from the former city to Benton first
CLASSY only $l.90 a 100 pounds, which is not
so bad. Our heavy shippers, under special
contract, however, will get there freight laid
down at the Benton levee for $1.40 per 100
pounds, or probably less.
By looking over the figures given above it
will be seen that Benton fares quite as well
in the matter Of freight rates as tue railroad
towns of the Yellowstone. 1t freight car
now be laid down here as cheaply as al
Miles City, it is evident that Benton will con.
tinue to be a better market than Coulson,
Bozeman and Helena when the railroad is
completed to those points. The favorable
location of Benton at the head of navigation
on the Missouri is an advantage that railroads
can not give.

Mr.. Thomas Worthington, a we'll known
lawyer and journalist of Chill cothe, Ohio,
was in Benton a few days last week, and on
Sunday left for the Shonkin, where he will
remain some time, the guest Of Mr.. George
Patterson. Mr.. w. comes to Montana for
the benefit of his health, and we trust our re-
freshing mountain air will have the proper
effect.
Mr.. Ed. Maclay has purchased an inter
est in the general firm of Murphy, Neel &
Co., thus adding another and thoroughly
proficient business man to the membership
of this we'll known firm. There will be,
however, no change in the management Of
the Benton house as all concerned are too
we'll satisfied with the good work being &C.
complished by Col. j. 81. Rice.
Mr.. W. F. Budin, Winnipeg, is in the
city, a guest a; the Overland. He has just
driven through from Coulson to Benton, and
reports the former Town booming, there be-
ing not less than twenty saloons in full
blast in the burg. Mr.. B.. sage that every
body at Coulson, including the contractors,
are of he opinion that the Benton branch
of the Northern Pacific will be built this
summer. 1t is probable that the surveying
party is now at work on the route. MIR. Bu-
din will drive from Benton to Fort Edmund
son, nearly 700 miles north of here.

Freight Rates.

The Chicago, Milwaukee 6 St. Paul, Chi
cago q Northwestern and Northern Pacific
railroads have pooled their issues and estab-
lished freight rates to st. Paul and the North
west that will net them a very handsome
profit, but they are by no means so agreea-
BILE for the shipper, being a considerable ae-
vance on last years rates. From a joint Cir
cular issued by these ''soulless corporations
we extract the following specified rates
which will be of general interest to our read
ere:
From Chicago to st. Paul when for Bis
marck or Mandan, first class, 60 cents; sec
ond class, 45 cents; third class 30 cents;
fourth class, 25 cents; class A, 20 cents;
class B, 90 cents; class G, III cents; class D,
Is cents. Between the same points Chicago
and St. Paul) when freight is for towns west
Of Bismarck or points up the Missouri from
| that city the rates are: first class, 30 cents;
second class, 40 cents; third class, 80 cents;
fourth class, 20, cents; class A, % cents;
| class B, 20 cents; class G, III cents; class D,
| Is cents. We are not enlightened, however,
as to the distinction in the different classes.
The rates from st. Paul to Bismarck, Man
dan, Glendiye and Miles City are given be-
low, the first column being the rates or
freight without qualifications, per 100 lbs.
the second column the rate on flour, feec
grain and lime; the third rates on agriculture
implements, wagons, machinery, furniture
etc,

In the Black Forest .

Friuges of pines displayed themselves
in the Immediate neighborhOod, each one
distinct and detached from the other !:
but beyond, and far away as the eve
could follow, the black mountains accu-
INFLATED in dense dark masses and out
lines. Stretches of yelvety fields and
slopes here and there relieved the gloom.
White roads twisted snake-like, about
the vast scene. To the right stretched
great uninteresting plains, the flowing
Rhine, a conspicuous object, but here
not more romantic than the tamest
rivers. in the distance rose the long
chain of the Vosges Mountains, with
their soft, wavy, graceful undulations.
though too far off to be very conspicuous
or interesting. Small streams ran their
course and villages dotted the plain,
their red roofs rising in contrast with
the somber pines. The wind swept
great white clouds across the sky, bring
ing out the blue beyond in deep relief.
while they cast huge shadows upon the
plain that chased each other and dissolved
as the clouds died out in space. One
tree, one stream, one field, one hill, may
resemble another, but a thousand times
multiplied, and thousand times seen.
the last look is as fresh and beautiful to
the mind, as invigorating to the spirit as
the first The only sad spot was the
ruin itself, which spoke so loudly of an
age and generation when other eyes were
gazing upon these scenes, as, in turn,
other eyes again will gaze, when these
days have long passed into history.
