the advanced spirit OF the times, comes
out in this issue of the RIVER Press
with a most attractive advertisement of
his popular house, the Pacific hotel.
This is a bran new brick structure, fine
" furnished, and well kept, and isn't
going to be left behind in the rush of
business which will strike Benton this
year. We can cheerfully recommend
this house to ali who visit the river me-
tropolis.
George Richards, formerly Of Helena
and Marysyille, is about to establish a
store at Old Agency, and is now en-
gagged in putting up his buildings. The
upper Teton valley is settling up so rap
idly with q consequent growth OF bust
ness that a second store is almost a nee
essity and several parties from that sec
| ton with whom we c0nyersed give it us
their opinion that Mr.. Richards will do
we'll. He IS reported to be- good bust
ness man and Almost pleasant gentleman.
We believe he will have q hotel and
other accommodations III connection
with the store.
MI. E. Ballou, Receiver Of the Helena
and office, was at sun River on the 18th
inst. to bear the proof III several cases of
final entry Of land, and also receive fl
ings of which not q few We're made, the
interested parties being principally
from the upper Teto1i. It was q great
favor on the receivers part TO meet these
people more than half way, and one that
was duly appreciated. 4 trip to either
Benton or Helena with their witnesses
would have occasioned them q consider
able outlay which was divided by Mr..
Ballou's Willingness to accommodate
them, although at the time he was over
run with work at the office.
