That "F1re Tax

That a ''fire taxi has been imposed
upon the tax payers OF Choteau county,
We are both willing and able to prove 10
the perfect satisfaction OF any one, and
can produce twenty-five receipts to show
that it has been paid. For what pur-
pose the money SO collected was expend-
ed we have no means OF knowing, eX-
cept we take the statement made hy the
RIVER PRESS some months ago, 10 the
effect that Benton was practically with
out fire fighting facilities, and also the
statement of the chief of the fire de-
partment. who stated that the fire appa-
ratus was in such a condition as to place
Benton at the mercy o. the devourlng
element, and urging the proper author
tiles to take some immediate action in
the matter.-Sun.
Nothing can surpass the tenaclty with
which this unblushing falsehood is ad-
hered to. As we haYe said before, no
fire tax has ever been levied in this
county, and there is no law that allows
it, outside of towns and cities. IF there
is any man at Sun River or elsewhere
in the county who has paid fire taxi
it is illegal and unWarranted. and he
has only to present the matter TO the
proper officers to get his money back.
We have examined the records and find
that no such tax was eyer levied by the
commissioners, and of course has never
been collected.
IF the Sun knew anything about Cho.
teau county affairs, which it does not,
and very little about anything else, il
would know that Fort Benton is an in
corporated city; that our fire apparatus
has been purchased and paid for by the
city that the county never paid q dol
lar for it and has no more TO do with il
than the emperor of China.
IF anybody outside of the city of Fort
Benton has paid fire taxi we would
like to know it, and If satisfactory proof
is adduced the RIVER PRESS promises
to make it decidedly warm for the re-
sponsibIe officer or officers. Now, show
up or shut up.

1t is estimated that the loss has been
far less this winter than since Montana
has been proved stock country. There
are more deals in cattle talked Of but

Nearly verybody talks of driving

Wolf Creek w a1fs.

STANFORD, March 90, 1885.
Editors of the River Press:
Hurrah for the Little Rockies! Nine
of the young men from Wolf creek left
for that camp this week, with still more
to follow.
Mr. Alex. Tuttle has bought Edmis-
toms ranch-considera $500. This
gives Mr. Tuttle 800 acres in one body,
and, by the way, one of the best ranches
on the creek.
Mr.. Geo. Falligan has taken up and
fenced almost across the bench, which
makes it very inconyenient for people
hauling timber, who have to go around.
r. Spellman, who has been riding at
Rocky ridge for a week reports cattle
doing well in that part Of the range. He
now takes all his force to drive out cat
tie from the bad lands.
Messrs. Ben Phillips and James Ross
left for Helena by private conveyance
this week.
There is talk Of horse roundup be-
tween the Judith river and Wolf creek.
Hope they will, as your correspondent
is out four head. COWBOY.
The river press. [volume] (Fort Benton, Mont.) 1880-current, 1885-03-25

estimate is from three to five per cent.
The winter was the most severe eyer
known in Texas, and the drifting of
cattle very great. 1T is estimated that
fully 10000 cattle drifted southwark
and are now in the vicinity of Devils
Run. and in the Pecos river country.
Round-u parties have already started
for that vicinity, but owing to the poor
condition of the cattle, it will require
much time and careful driving to bring
them back.
The closing of the old trail to the
north will compel owners to throw
much Of their surplus stock on the mar
ket this season, which will no doubt de-
question that the Texas ranges are over
stocked and the ranchmen will be
obliged to get rid Of a large number Of
cows, o-year-olds. and even yearlings
to relieve the burden, and these will
to mainly 90 on the market. Wyoming
and the northwest will receive the cattle
which come there by trail, but not
otherwise, and the closing of the trail
will close this outlet for Texas cattle.
Last year at this time over a million
dollars worth of contracts were held by
ranchmen, but this year not dollar.
Mr.. Atwater thinks the day Of free
grazing in Texas about over. In the
near future stock raisers will have to
pasture their herds on their own lands
and cultivate the ground enough for
fodder to carry their cattle through the
winter

BIRCH CREEK, March Il, 1873!

BIRCH CREEK, March II, 1885.
Editors of the River Press:
about the first of the month business
sent your correspondent and compan-
ion to Fort Conrad, on the Marias, and
I cannot refrain from giving a descrip-
ton of this beautiful and fertile spot
poor and inadequate though this descrip-
ticn may be.
We had taken the road across the
green prairie, and fifty mile ride
through the mud probably augmented
our pleasure at sight Of the valley and
its prospect of good cheer and rest. Be
this as it may, coming suddenly to the
edge of the high cliff which borders the
valley, one of the prettiest sights | have
seen met my gaze. Reached by q road
winding down the hillside, lay beauti-
ful valley, through which the Marias,
now covered with ice, wends its way,
along the wooded banks to the great
Missouri. The maximum width of the
valley is about mile, and on either
side high cliff-like banks hem it in,
while at the lower end another high
bank seems to run at right angles with
the others, thus apparently entirely
closing in this beautiful bottom. Every
where the ground is clothed in the dry
brown vesture of autumn, or early
spring, except here and there where
few patches of snow remain, as if to re-
mind one that the dreary days of winter
have passed and spring will soon change
the earth's present sombre hue to one of
bright green and freshness,
To the left of the valley, looking from
the hill, the river forms perfect horse
shoe, which, fringed with brush, greatly
adds to the beauty of the scene, while
the old fort buildings, still standing, but
showing the marks Of age and decay,
recall to the Observers mind the days Of
the buffalo hunt, and in fancy he dots
the valley with lodges and camp fires
of the Indians, but the new frame build
ings erected by Mr.. Jos. Kipp, insensi-
bly, draws the mind back from its dream
ings of the past to the possibilities and
probabilities of the future.
Descending the hill we soon come to
| the store and were cordially welcomed
by Mr.. McGonigle, the gentleman in
charge of the place, and had the pleas
ure of stabIing our horses in one of the
best barns in the country, large, roomy
frame building with board floor and
well made stalls. Mr. NJ. informed us
that there has been very little snow
there this winter, and the weather has
been comparatively mild. Stock of all
kinds has done finely, especially horses,
nor am [ surprised if to-day is any cri-
terion, for at this moment the sun is
almost uncomfortably warm. I wish [
could find words to express my delight
on first beholding this beautiful valley.
I can oaly say that, coming from the
dreary waste Of prairie land, it seemed
to me like one of the garden spots of
this earth-so calm and peaceful did it
appear, basking in the afternoon sun Of
a lovely spring day, with its old fort
buildings recalling the romances of the
past and the EeW buildings opening,
like the budding rose, bright hopes for
its future. kANAPSA.
