"Our troubles the rocks in narrow'd stream.
Whereat we fret and chafe, and strive and weep;
But heaven sends riab, our stream grows wide

The rocks lie hid, forgotten as dream"

The Fort Benton Bridge.


This structure is now about completed
and teams will be crossing today as we
learn from Benton people. The River
Press says:
The swing span or 'draw' is 225 feet
in length and weighs nearly 125 tons with
the floor laid and everything complete.
The great span is so nicely balanced on
it's pivot on the large center pier that one
person can stand on either end, when it
is swinging, and play see-saw with it as
children do with hoard balanced on Il
plank fence.
The business men have built it without
a dollar of outside capital or assistance of
any kind, if we may except the conces-
sions in freight rates on the large amount
of material hauled by the Manitoba rail
road. President Hill and the officials,
realizing that the bridge would be Of
great benefit to their line in this way. ma
terially assisted the enterprise, all of
which is duly appreciated.
The opening of the bridge will be Il
glad day for our city. as well as all the
tributary country.

A BRUTAL ASSAULT.
An Attempted Rape Upon the Person Of
One of Great Falls Highly
Respected Ladies.

About 8 o'clock last night Miss Shultz,
a popular and highly respected young
lady, started from the New York Cash
Bazaar to the home of Mr.. Hunt and
family, residing on Fifth avenue South.
IN the vicinity of the school house she
was accosted by man who grabbed her
about the waist and attempted to throw
her down. She struggled with all her
might and finally succeeded in breaking
loose from the villain, and hastened to
the home of Mr.. Hunt, where she fell
upon the floor. 1t is time something was
done to rid Great Falls of these dangerous
and despicable characters. When women
are unsafe upon our streets it is time that
strenuous efforts should be made to
catch and make examples of such vii
famous wretches. 1t is hoped the author
ttles will do their utmost to bring the
perpetrator of this dastardly deed to
Justice.

effect result from being moved his re-
covery will be more rapid hereafter NO

CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.
The Matter of Fire Protection rors,aa,,..,
System of Water Works ON Tapis.
Application for Franchise,

Pursuant to adjournment the CITY
Council met last evening in the Council
Chamber.
The roll was called, and all members
were present.
The minutes of the preceding meet
ing were read and approved.
The committee on ordinances submit
ted an ordinance fixing the fire limits of
the city as follows: First avenue North
to Second avenue South and Park drive
to Seventh street. The ordinance was
passed.
A communication was received by the
Board asking that committee be ap-
pointed to confer with the Water-works
Company regarding franchise for oper-
ating system of water-works, and Aid.
Wegner, Fairfield and Matthews were
appointed.
The Committee ON Fire Department
recommended that the city purchase a
steam fire engine and enough hose for
the protection of the city, and establish
cfsterns throughout the city.
Aid. Wegner said that he visited
Helena and made inquiries regarding fire
extinguishing apparatus. The steamer
is recommended very highly by Helena
parties. They say that they would not
do without tho steam fire engine under
any circumstances.
Mayor Gibson said that it is probable
a first-class system of water works will be
established in this city, and he recon-
mends that the matter of purchasing an
engine and constructing cisterns be
thoroughly considered before definite
steps are taken.
1t was understood that the purchase of
a fire engine and the construction of
cisterns would incur considerable ex-
pense, and the establishment of a good
water works system might make the cis-
erns and fire engine more or less useless.
Upon motion of Aid. Beachley the
matter was laid over for consideration at
the next meeting.
The Committee on Auditing Accounts
reported bills for labor on ditch and
sewer, aggregating $248.
Upon motion of Aid. Fairfield the re-
port as read by the Chairman of the Aud
iting Committee was accepted.

garbage and dump ground reported that
a point on the river bank near the bridge
on the smelter branch had been selected
and the report was accepted.
The report on salaries laid over at the
last meeting was called up.
It was moved by Aid. Fairfield that the
report should be read by sections.
The salaries were finally fixed as fol
lows:
City Treasurer $35 per month.
Police Magistrate $50 per month.
City Marshal 800.
Police officers 1856.
City Attorney $75 per month and per.
