A Good Invention.

from the ceiling to which the chalk is
attached by nickle-plated clamp. This
hangs within reach Of the players, who
pull it down and chalk their cues, and
the moment the chalk is released it is
drawn up again to its place by an orna-

cord. This does away with the old

STANFORD, January Is, 1885.
Editors of the River Press:
The citizens Of Stanford and vicinity
met to-day at T. f. Morgan & Co. Is
store. The meeting was called to order
by L. f. Morgan. John Thomas was
chosen chairman and 7. f. Morgan sec
retary. Quite number of speeches
were made, the chief feature of which
was the grand display Of wit and hu-
NOR. They were so lengthy and num-
erous that we cannot here report them.
The final results of the meeting were
that this portion of the country be or
ganized as a school district. T.. G.
SWingley, Robert Shelton and William
Shelton were elected trustees, and Z. f.
Morgan clerk. These officers are to pro-
ceed at once to have suitable school
building erected and have school taught
IN the same as soon as possible. The
meeting was then adjourned, after which
q motion was carried by acclamation
that the chairman and secretary lead the
way to Charles Mix s and furnish the
material for all the boys to 'lubricate"
with. The said officers declined the
honor, whether through religious scru-
pies or want Of funds we know not, but
do know we did not 'lubricateu st their
request.

for eight days carried off all the snow,
since which we have had another fall

The Pre-empt1on, Desert Land, and TIM
Der Culture Acts Repealed.

WASHINGTON, January 13.-The
house bill to repeal the pre-emption,
desert land and timber culture laws,
passed the senate. The first section
provides for the repeal of the pre-emp-
ticn law. This repeal, however, is not
to affect the rights of any person which
are accruing on the passage of this act.
1t further provides that any person who
has not heretofore had the benefit of
the pre-emption law, who has failed
from any cause to perfect the title of
land heretofore entered by him under
the homestead laws, may take second
homestead entry in lieu of the pre-emp-
ton privilege which is repealed. Section
two repeals the timber culture law, with
the provision that it shall not interfere
with existing rights
Section three amends the revised sta
tutes, SO that persons that have availed
themselves Of the homestead laws may
pay the minimum price of the lands
after eighteen months from the date Of
entry; provided they file preliminary
notice six months before.
Section four repeals the desert land
act, except as to claims which exist at
the date Of the passage of the act.
Section five provides that no public
lands, except abandoned military or
other reservations, mineral lands and
other lands'o on sale, which have been
authoized by special act of congress,
shall be sold at public auction or by
special private entry. All offered public
lands are withdrawn from the market,
and shall be disposed of as unofered
public lands.

We are inclined to the belief that the
Western Union Telegraph company
would extend its lines to Fort Benton II
the matter could be placed before Super
intendent McMichael at Minneapolis.
The accidents which are constantly oc-
curing to the military line make it al
most necessary that improved telegraph
ic service should be obtained if possible.
The government is not seeking CONNER
clal business, and as rule cares nothing
for it. The present line was established
for the convenience of the government,
and not for the general public, and any
commercial business which is transacted
is for accommodation. Should the
Western Union be induced to come to
Fort Benton, we could rest assured that
the line would be in working order 365
days in the year. They keep an army
