Parties wishing a nice office should apply to Mr. Cummings ert without delay as office room is at premium cal It is about time that the residents of lol Bentoti interested themselves in procuring iln some kind of an apparatus for extinguish- ce ing fires. The class of buildings that have E ,een going up for some years past are eer- so IJ tainly vatlu1 ie ehol!ogh li make this ,sub-) s ej ect worthy If 01erious thoughit. If solme f thing is not done shiortly ihe insurance n people will be i1stitled ii believing that the residlnts of Benton are not andxious to I"protect their buildings from lire. WVife beating is something that this com rmeniiy never would tolerate even when the Sictim !- happened to be a belligerent i squaw,and it is quite certain that no white woman need fto a moment sulunit to be pounded by ; brute of a husband.

It was certainly a pleasing sight to see Ssome of our most prominent eitizens in dulgi"ig themselves in the harmless sport of sending ip A paper balloons yesterday af ternoon. The idea originated with one of our well iknown ranch men -hose original ity of mindi and speech :are certainly more than ordiiurIy. As a friend of ours once remarked, their occulpation certainly be t'ayed idleness, if nothing more, but their success as balloonists was of the fihst order, and the only drawback to the complete sat isfaction of mind which always foilows a successfui venture was the failure of one of their number to provide the ice cream promised. Verily, we are but children of a larger growth. The RECORD has for years tried hard enough to have Belt creek properly bridged, but no one who knows anytilng about the matter will question the the point that the imlprovemenslt or removal of Ar'row creek hill is of nuliiih more ilportanc e to the business interests of Benton than the hridJ ing of a streaam that i:s easily ford' able for about two-third; of the year. We a-re in favor of bridging lhe creek if the cost of it should double tie county debt, but not until the Arrow tcreek hill has been im proved either by subscription or at the ex pense. of the county. The time has arrived for the business residents of .Benron to in terest themselves in this matter, and if they fail to attend to it this sea:son they will rue it before they are another year-:o older. r F~om AfonIdIy'es da!y.

Power & Bro., and will a go down the river on one of the boats now at the levee for a visit to his old home in Nebraska. Mr. Horr reports everything I quiet at the Old Agency. We have been informed by a gentleman just in from the southeastern part of our - county that a number of cattle belonging i to Meagher county stockmen. are on the ranges in that section, and that these cat tle have heretofore escaped taxation on the Ii plea that they belonged to Meagher coun ty. The statute on what property is taxa ble in counties is very explicit and the own- a ers should be made to pay taxes on these cattle. Our assessor should look to it. Mr. W. B. Shanks, well 'known in this locality, brought into the office this morn Ing some specimens of coal from the ie- I eently discovered vein five miles below Eagle creek on the south side of the Mis souri about 1,- miles from the river'. The d 1specimens sh,,wn were taken fiora a depth of niot over ten feet. The coal is hght, free from slate and resembles the Whoop Up va'iety. It is unquestionably good coal, and Il1 Mr. Shanks and his partner Jim Wells, of Claggett, has to do is to bring the fuel into town and sell it. Mr. Saanks informs us that the vein is over two feet thick and there is every indica :io- of al inesxhausti le supply. The dliy is hot. two steamboats at the *, ,'~i streets full of mule and bull teams. piles of freight on thle levee and an air of bustle in the business houses indicatesplen ty of irade. This will continue, gentleman, if you will onhly look after your roads a lit tle closer, and bridge the streams between Lus and the ranchmni. that are anxious to comeN here and trade. Now is the time do it bef.re the the trade slips away from you and you will tind it a great deal harder to get the trade back after it is once gone than to keep) it now by the exercise of a little bridgement. --~ --II Itr' Froim Tuesday's DailyJ tt v i ilver inlaii Half Breed Bits at Sullivan a& Goss'. .e Call at the Fountain and look at the m0 Nobby IaH rness. of M r.
