The military authorities have aban>
doned the idea Of constructing a mill
tary telegraph line between Terry's
Landing and Fort Maginnis, Mont,
which was intended to take the place
of the line now in use via Camp Poplar
River. The reason for this decision is
the probability of the abandonment of
Fort Maginnis at no distant day on ac-
count Of the great cost Of maintaining
it and the fact that the region around it
is settling up 81 fast that the necessity
for keeping it up will soon no longer ex-
list. Such repairs as are absolutely nee
essary will be made on the Poplar river
line, and it is thought that, although
very poor, it will answer all purposes
for the present. -

AS a train slowed up at a station, says
the Rockland Courier, a commercial
looking man, who had been noticed in
earnest conversation with another party
of the same general appearance, was
heard to remark:
"Smart? He is just the smartest
drummer you eyer met anywhere.
Why, he's smart enough to sell suspen-
ders to a dog"
The other commercial looking man
nodded his head at this very happy
illustration, and everybody thought the
conversation was ended. when a lone
some looking individual on the oppo-
site side of the car remarked
ut doesn't take a very smart man to

Helena q Fort Benton road with an ex-
lenSlVe narrow gauge system, including
not only the Utah & Northern. but the
Denver d Rio Grande and its numerous
connections.
Ii this work can be ACCOMPLISHED
as easily as it has been claimed. and
the enterprise will be pushed through
to completion speedily. we are not GER
tain but that it is the better plan. A
narroW-gauge 0 will meet the de-
mands of the carrying business of north
ern Montana for some time and it can
be built at less than one-half the cost of
a gauge, and after it is built
can be operated much more cheaply.
II the Helena incorporates can con-
vince our people that their scheme is
practicable and that it can be consum-
mated within a reasonable time, they
can count on full and hearty support
from this end of the line. What
is wanted here is a railroad. and
the scheme that is most practicable
and that will bring it quickest will meet
approval here. Helena has disapproved of
the scheme and proposition put forward
by our people, and now let her offer
something better. If the citizens Of the
capital are in earnest in this matter we
would like to see them a little more
active in the premises. They can't get
q railroad by sending out ~s'circulars,n
and neither will cheap talk do it. A
little solid work is needed, and now is
the time to do it.

Barker News.

From Mr.. M. D. Scott, who arrived
from Barker Thursday, we learn that
the smelter closed down for a short time
on Saturday last, having u entirely
out of coal. They will start up again
Just as soon as there is a sufficient sup
ply Of coal to warrant it, probably next
week.
The run just closed, although a short
one, was very successful, as they turned
out a big pile ofbullion. making as high
as 27O bars in twenty-fonr hours.
This bullion is said to be higher grade
than that of the former run, which is a
very satisfactory phase of the situation.
The mine the Silver Belle) continues
to look well, and is yielding large guam
titles of ore daily.

From Thursdays Daily:
A Delegate to Chicago.

A meeting of the executive commit
tee Of the Montana Wool Growers as
ISOLATION, and other members who
CHANGED to be in the city, was held yes
terday at the Bank of Northern Mon
tana. Among other matters of import
ance considered was that of sending a
delegate to the national wool growers
convention which meets at Chicago on
the 10Th inst. 1t was decided that Mon
tana, and particularly the great wool
region, northern Montana, ought to be
represented in that body, and Mr.. L.
w. Peck was delegated to represent the
association and the wool interests Of
Montana, which he will do with credit
to himself and the territory. Mr.. Peck
will leave for Chicago about the 18th,
and will probably stay over to take in
the national republican convention, in
which event he will, represent the RIVER
PRESS in that distinguished body.

The Railroad Project.

There was a good deal Of comment
about town Thursday in regard to Heie-
mas refusal of the proposition made by
Fort Benton, and some seemed to THINK
that it puts a quietus Oh the enterprise
for the present. Such, however, is not
the case. The proposition made was
not favorably received by the citizens OF
Helena because it does not coincide with
their ideas as to the manner in which
the road should be built. They be-
lieve that it ought to be built and
controlled by a home company, ana
that the money which It is
proposed to give to Mr.. Hill would ac-
complish this result. It is estimated,
we believe, that 81, 100000 will build a
narrow gauge road from Helena to
Fort Benton, AID If half of this sum
is taken in stock the remainder can be
easily raised by mortgaging or bonding,
and at the same time retaining the con-
troll of the corporation in the hands o.
the home company.
Another part of the scheme is to ex-
tend the road to Butte, connecting witt
the Utah 4 Northern, thus linking the

of the River Press:

Editors of the River Press:
/ noticed a short article in your paper
of the 10th inst. to which [ wish to call
the attention of your many readers.
Some one made the statement that I
had been a preacher or exhorter, but
was never a very great success in that
line. Allow me to state that it is not
the truth, as [ never tried to preach or
exhort in my life, and the person who
wrote that article is a liar and a thief, as
he tells that which is not truth and
steals my good name. I have had the
benefit Of every conceivable lie that
could be thought of, and I must suffer
on account OF it; and / do think that it
would be just to give nae the benefit of
the truth the few months that I have to
stay here, as the truth / don't fear, and
never did. Had the truth been strictly
adhered to on the stand / would have
been a free mar to-day, but alas! it was
SO and / am left to suffer. But the
innocent must suffer for the guilty.

GENERAL MANUEL GONZALES.
President of Mexico.

The unsettled condition of Mexican
notifies lust now, a revolution being
threatened on account chiefly of the
axactions made by the government,
makes a sketch of the President, to
whom his enemies ascribe the difficulty,
onnortune. Mexico is short of money
for the use of the government, and is
ranorted to be anxious to borrow $40
000, 900 at the present time. Two years
ago, under similar pressure, congress
nassed a law granting the president
extraordinary powers. In pursuance
of this law President Gonzales recently
issued a stamp decree, thereby creating
the present complications, which is
more disastrous TO business than the
nrevious financial stringency.
General Gonzales has beer president
of Mexico since December ], 1880. He
was born about fifty years ago at Mata-
moras. state of Tamaulipas, Mexico.
Preferring u military life. he joined the
army as "a private soldier, and rose rap
idIy in his profession. He served with
distinction against the French in 1853
Ga, as colonel Of a regiment, and lost
an arm while defending the fortress Of
San Marca against the invaders. In
1876 he was created a major-general,
and held office as secretary of war
during the administration of President
Diaz, whom he succeeded as the result
OF a revolution.
Under President Gonzales admins
tration Mexico has made rapid advance
in material prosperity and civilization.
He mas a fine presence, is not tall in
stature, but well built and of sturdy
physique. Estimates Of his character
vary greatly.

Meeting of the ShonkIn Stock Association

-- 4
The regular annual meeting of the
Shonkin Stock association was held at
, the office of the county treasurer Tues
day and Wednesday, there being a full
attendance of members of the a%ssocia-
tion-some twenty in all. :
Vice-President Kingsbury presided.
G.. G.. Fish, who was elected secretary
at the last meeting, offered his resigna-
ton, claiming that he is absent most of
the time, and could not perform the
duties properly. 1t was accepted, and
Mr.. M. L. Miner, against his protests,
was elected in his stead. Nj. NJ. Was
the first secretary Of the association,
and considering the way he has advan-
ced the interests of the same, they
should make his term for life this time.
All the bills against the association
were audited.
1T was decided that this year the cap
tain in charge of the roundup should
have full power to discharge any mem
Der Of the party who failed to properly
perform his duty, whether he is a cattle
owner or a hired man, aud employ an
other in his stead. The captain was.
also instructed to see to it that the men
do not abuse the horses, as is too often
the case in the roundup.
All card playing, gambling and bring
ing whisky on the roundup is strictly
forbidden. %8# M.@
1t was the sense of the meeting that
$40 a month is the proper compensation
for men on the roundup.
The report of the. executive committee
was read and approved. It was a
lengthy document and dealt with the
Improvements made upon the range,
the action of the association in regard
to the murder of Jones, and the effort
put forth to punish cattle thieves.
Several applications for range privi-
leges-the right to drive cattle upon the
range and work with the association
were presented and the same refused by
the association. The members express
ed themselves reluctant to reject the ap-
plicants, but considering the danger OF
overstocking the range they deemed it
best to adhere to the bylaw adopted
some time since, and debar all.
Tom Martin was elected captain OF
the round up.
The round up was appointed to rem
devious at Lone Tree corral on the 18TH
inst. On the 10Th work will commence,
the party going to some point on the
Judith and working this way, until
their task is completed.

Two more fearful disasters are
 added to the long list of calamities
 of the year, namely, the Cincinnati riot and the wreck of the steamship Steinman, in each of which in stances there nave been many lives lost and immense quantities of property destroyed. In the wreck of the Sieinman, on the northeastern coast of Nova Scotia, but nine lives are known to have been saved out of crew and passenger list of eighty six souls At Cincinnati the num- ber of dead and injured is not yet automatically reported. but news paper estimates make It in the neighborhood of 150. The steam> ship disaster seems to have been the result of extensive fogs, and evi> dentiy bad reckoning. The Cincin- nati disaster, nguratively speaking, was occasined by similar conditions ot the legal and moral atmosphere of the Queen of the West" The storms of outraged justice toss not less terrible aud destructive pillows than the storms of the angry seas.
