In OUR FOURTH YEAR.

With this issue the RIVER PRESS en-
tiers upon the fourth year of its existence.
and, we are glad to be able TO say, with
even brighter prospects than ever before.
After passing safely through the many
vicissitudes common to all new papers,
it is now firmly established, not only
financially but, we have every reason TO
believe. in the good opinion Of its read
ers. The present prosperity of the paper
is in a great measure due to the liberal
patronage bestowed upon it by the bust
ness men of Fort Benton and the sur
rounding country, for which we take
this opportunity Of returning thanks.
AS for our subscription list, we would
say that we believe we have the most
prompt paying subscribers of any jour-
nal in Montana. The list may not be
quite as large as those Of two or three Of
the old established papers in the thicker
settled center of the territory, but, what
is better, our patrons are all good, and
it is very seldom we lose a dollar u
us on subscription, which is something
few papers can truthfully say, and espe-
cially those published in a country like
Montana, where the population is so
scattered and moving. We appreciate
this good faith on the part of our sub
scribers, while we feel that we have done
our best, by square treatment, to deserve
it, and we hope, in the future, to retain
all our old friends and secure many new
ones. AS heretofore, we will aim to
give our readers all the local news of in
terest, together with all the latest tele-
graphic news Of consequence from the
outside world; to give opportunities for
the discussion through our columns OF
matters of moment to our people, and
while working for what we consider the
best int rests Of Choteau county, will
strive to make the RIVER PRESS a vel
come weekly visitor in the homes OF
northern Montana and the entire terri.

The recent decision of the supreme
court, of the United States that the we'll
known Civil Rights Billn unconstitu-
tional and therefore void, as far as the
states are concerned, has created intense
concern and indignation among the
prominent colored men of the east.
Frederick Douglass says hat it again
puts the colored men outside the pale OF
the law, placing them at the mercy OF
any ruffian on a steamboat or railroad
Ex-senator Bruce, register of the treas
ury, thinks the effect will be to carry
the country back fifteen years at least.
| Richard T. Greener, the well known
| colored lawyer, saysi it is the worst start.

THERE is now on exhibition at the
American exposition an Boston a patent
l~ife-saving mattress, which is said to be
as perfect a thing in it's way as could pos
sibly be designed. On the third Of this
month one of the mattresses was thrown
into the whirlpool at Niagara Falls, at
the point where the late Captain Webb
met his death. A large number of peo-
pie were present. The mattress remain
ed in the whirlpool just one hour, in
plain sight. It was not sucked down,
turned over or out of sight during the
whole hour. Suddenly it shot out OF
the whirlpool, and commenced to rapid,
II float down the river. When secured
it was found to be intact, save a slight
| discoloration of the ticking.

1 OUR special from Helena shows that
T. C.Power was yesterday unanimously
nominated by the republican district
convention as delegate at large-to the
constitutional convention. In the CON
Fest between Coz. Sanders and Commo-
dore Power it was Choteau's vote which
decided the matter. The abilities Of
both candidates are fully recognized, and
we all knew that either would do credit
to the district SO we had no fear of the
result whichever got the nomination.
| While we are well pleased with the
| choice, we cannot but regret that both
agentlemen could not have been mem
Ilbers Of the convention which is to frame
IMontana's constitution.

THE postmaster general has been sued
for $780, 900 by the national bank OF
New Orleans. On account Of the banks

intended for the purchase of tickets IN

The Livingston Enterprise thinks
we are mistaken in %supposing that the
Bull mountain railroad is only the first

Probably we are. The Enterprise is

are sure Henry will consult the editor
of the aforesaid paper before extending
his road to Benton.

BOSTON is reminded by the London
Times that she is not the only city to
suffer a downfall from intellectual SUI
premacy. Edinburg, has been deposed
from a rank more exalted, Weimar has
sunk to a petty residence town, Geneva
has gone into trade and politics, Flor.
ence is no longer a literary circle, and
Oxford and Cambridge retain no dicta'
torship in letters.

The new Occur d'Alene gold mines
are found to be only twenty miles from
the Northern Pacific at Heron Siding,
$50 miles west of Missoula. A contract
has been let for cutting a trail from
the railroad to the new mining camp,
Eagle city. AS this is reported to be a
good winter trail it will probably take a
good many into the camp this winter.

THE Glendive Times has the follow

that point to Fort Benton: IF the mo-

Glendive to Benton, the branch to that

here. The easy grade and the millions
of arabic land, would at once commend

WE are glad to see that Captain Mills,
