GREAT FALLS, MONTANA .
GREAT FALLS is located at the Falls of the Missouri which furnish the greatest available water power on the Continent. Is within seven miles of the most extensive COAL
and IRON district in the West, immediately beyond which are rich GOLD, SILVER and COPPER districts. It lays tributary the best agricultural and grazing part of
the Territory, and the pineries of the Upper Missouri and tributaries. It is especially adapted by its natural resources and geographical position to become the leading:
MANUFACTURING CITY between Minneapolis and the Pacific, and the principal RAILROAD CENTER of Montana.
The trip to Great Falls will amply repay tourists by the beauty of the scenery on the way, and they will find here the most magnificent series of waterfalls in the world,
while the surrounding country is rich in picturesqe scenery. For further informatlon address H. O. CH OWE N, Agent.

A cemetery association should be organ- I
ised to improve the grounds set apart for i
that purpose. The tract comprises 820
acres well located, about four miles from
town, on high ground which commands a
grand view in every direction. At com
paratively little expense trees could be set
out and cared for, and they would add a
hundred per cent to the beauty of the
place.

The engineers of the Montana Central t
railroad yesterday run a preliminary line t

Silver Bow. They will also run a line by I
the Hump, which the engineers say is the c

adopted. After having completed the line 1
to Anaconda they will return to Butte and i
expect to leave to-morrow for Great Falls. I

CASUAL.
We cannot help being thankful for con
tinued pleasant weather. To be sure ice
is forming on the river, but it is time for
that to begin. In New York a foot of t
snow has fallen. Dakota rejoices in tem
perature ten degrees below zero, while we
scarcely need an overcoat except for long
drives.
I regret that the dog-faced-man discuss
ion has come to a close without the ques
tion being definitely settled. Let's hear
from old dog-face himself.
I am reminded by the "water" contro
versy at Helena, of what Bob Burdette
says of monopolies. He states that "mon
opoly" is from two Greek words, mono,
man, and pole, pole, meaning the man who
has the pole. A monopoly, he adds, is a
syndicate that I can't get into, when I do
get in it is a philanthropic institution for
the benefit of all mankind." In the Hel
ena fight, each faction calls the other a
"griading monopoly "-~"onspiracy" and
"fraud." At present Woolston seems to
be the mono who has the polo. Helena
certainly needs a good water-supply. They
need it to cook with. They can't use whis
key for everything.
Calgary was destroyed by fire a couple
of weeks ago. But with such lessons be
fore us every day our citizens cannot be
aroused from their lethargy.
I hope the people of Great Falls will
show their appreciation of Mr. Ehrhart's
enterprise in getting up a grand Thanks
giving dinner in the afternoon and ball in
the evening. The Park hotel cannot be
too highly commended. It is a great card
for Great Falls. Its reputation has already
gone abroad throughout the territory. It
has no superior in the west.
I am glad to see tha:t the business men
of Great Falls are progressive enough to
advertise well. The TInutB E certainly
appreciates the fact that its Gre.it Falls
patrons are generous in that regard.
While they are thius doing a good work
for the paper and the town they are ac
complishing still more for themselves.
Our business men take no stock in the old
fogy notion that money spent for adver
tising don't pay. No investment brings
larger returns. There is more truth than
fiction in the last sad request
of the dying editor who told his
family not to bury him by the
side of a brook, where babbling lovers
would wake him from his dreams, nor in
any grand cemetery, where sight-seers,
coming over epitaphs, might distract him;
but begged that he might be layed away
to take his last sleep under the counter of
some merchant who did not advertise in
the newspapers. There, he said, was to be
found peace, passing all understanding-a
depth of quiet slumber on which neither
the sound of the buoyant foot of youth nor
the weary shuffle of old age would ever
intrude.
Religious Notes.
Last Sunday the Rev. Clews, Episcopal
minister from Fort Benton, was to preach
in the morning, but owing to an unforseen
event could not get Into the school house.
It seems that the Wednesday evening pre
vious, Rev. John Reid after conducting
prayer-meeting, locked the building and
put the key in his pocket, saying that he
must leave it at Beachley's. He then in
company with Mr. Ross called on a friend
or two and forgetting all about the key
went home with it. Between that time
and last Sunday the choir met'at his house
and practiced particularly with a view to
help our Episcopal friend to make his ser
vice pleasant. But Sunday came and Rev.
John Reid went out to Sand Coulee a-foot
to conduct the services there and it was
not till after Sunday .school in the p. m.'
that the key*M o Iuod. It had slipp d
between the lining and his pocket. Rev.
John Reid ogized toUihe other minis
ter and offered him the evening service, S
but the offer was not accepted.
Rev. John Reid preached last Sunday
night on "Hope." His discourse was ex
cellent and full of an earnest christian
spirit. In speaking about petty jealousy
between individual churches and denom
inations he said that each must of necessity
have its own laws and opinions and said in
etfect that it did not become one church
to pick to pieces another or uphold its own
opinions as the only correct ones above all
others and he also said that it was not the
church that saved a man, anyhow, but
Jesus Christ. k
At the Sunday school last Sunday p. m.
there were 49 present.
Christmas is coming and the Sunday C
school scholars and friends are called upon

nesday at 6:30 p, m. to practice songs etc.

a good time generally at the end of the
year. Prayer meeting Weodnesday nights.
Let all come.
