D)unn's hall was filled Saturday with enthusiastic members of the Gibson club and friends of Mr. Gibson. J.H.lBridgee presided and opened the meeting in a neat speech. .lames IDonovan was called upon and made ia masterly effort. His talk was plain and he enalt iI facts. He drew a beautiful picture of the state of Montana, her magnificent area, her for ests, plains, rivers and wonderful re sources. He depicted her growth and the development of some of these resour. es under the guiding hand and unerring judgment of Mr. Gibson, and then made a strong plea to ail men to use their votes to place in the state senate a man who has already shown wonderful ability and untiring devotion to the interests of this county to help frame legislation for the advancement of our interests. On the other hand he asked whether Will Hanks was a republican or democrat. He said: "In the democratic convention at Fort Benton in 1884 the tallest and loudest democrat in the house was Will Hanks of Bun River." He also showed that Mr. Hanks is not worthy to be compared to Mr. Gibson In any manner whatever. Mr. Donovan was frequently interrupted witn hearty applause.

He referred to a report circulated that he is opposed to the laboring men, In reply he stated that foryears he has employed men at different tines and he challenged anyone to cite a single in stance In which the relations were not satisfactory. "The labor interest is the foundation on which any great city is built," he said, "and I have always fav ored the payment of liberal wages and the advancement of laboring men." tHe Invited the investigation of his relations with men in his employ here in Great Falls and in conclusion said: "As I love Great Falls, as I desi e to see her become a great and prosperous city, so do I de sire to see the laboring men prosper and builtd up fur themselves happy homes." At the conclusion of Mr. Gibson's speech a large number enrolled them selves as members of the Gibson club. REAL ESTATE REVIEW. Priesr of Beatty Firmer Than Ever Bfore. Brsinel Men Report Trade Excellent, The past week has been one of the most active in the history of Great Falls. The great activity in building, the public improvements going on, street grading, sewer building, water extensions-hare kept every man busy who wanted to work. Besides a large number of freight ers outtits have added to the bustling street scene. From every line of busi ness the reports are good and a strong feeling of confidence prevails. The real estate market is strong, al though many sales have not been report ed. The real estate men claim that own ers are very confident and do not want to sell. It has been harder to find a man who wants to sell than to find a buyer. The feeling has been strengthened by rumors of the building of two more smelters and thecompietion of the rall road to Neihart and Barker. These ru mors are n-,t based on sure authority, but the movements of prominent men the past week have been closely noticed and the establishment of these industries is among the possibilities. Whether the conclusion be true or false it has percep trbly stiffened the real estate market. Real estate men report that inquiries for acreage property have greatly increas ed and anything within two or three miles of town is considered good prop erty.
