A. o. U. W., initiated thirty two mem.
bers, a larger number than was ever
known to be- taken into any lodge with
in the Jurisdiction, including Della
ware, Maryland and New Jersey, at
any single meeting. A year ago the
lodge numbered 113 members, and 1t
now numbers 204. The latter number
entities the lodge to two Representatives
to the Grand Lodge, which will meet
this spring in Baltimore. The credit
for this great increase in membership
L. due to the untiring energy of W. N.
Mccormick. Charles Fl. Davis and
William g. Farra, though many others
contributed largely to its success.
In recognition of the services OF
Messrs. Mccormick and Farra, they
were each presented last night with
beautiful gold badges on d ground work
of purple velvet. j. w. Dtefendor
presented the badge to Mr.. Mccormick
and Henry G. Downward put Mr.. Farrs
through.
Both gentlemen were completely
TAX en- by surprise. Mr.. Nc ormick knew
nothing Of either, but Mr.. Farra knew
only OF MI. McCormick's, aud 4alcipa
ted considerable pleasure at thatlgentle
mans surprise, not knowing that light

Central Avenue.

All the lots ON Central avenue between
the Park hotel and 4th street, with the
exception Of three, have been sold, and all
of them for business purposes. A large
number of foundations have already been
laid for buildings to be erected early in
the spring. The contracts under which
these lots have been sold require the cree
ton Of buildings upon them of brick or
stone before the list of next August. This
will insure the erection of about forty
buildings in which will be represented
all the different branches of trade. Among
them some of the very heaviest mercantile
firms in the northwest. These substan-
tial improvements guarantee the perman-
eney of Central Ave. as the principal bust
ness street Of Great Falls, lined with build
ings, substantial, ornamental and practical
ly ire-proof.
A good investment for coming year
would be to send % for the TRIBUNE.

Coulee to Belt creek and to Highwood
creek, and also from the Highwood to
Fort Benton, cannot fail to become great
grain-producing sections. For immediate
settlement, those lands lying within a
convenient distance Of the Sand Coulee
and Belt creek coal districts are especially
desirable, cheap and abundant fuel being
always an important factor in successful
agriculture. Farmers who take up and
occupy these lands can not only raise large
crops of grain and vegetables, but they
can, from the unlimited summer and win
ter pasturage, make stock growing an i'm
portant branch of their business. These
valuable lands can now be taken under
Presumption and Homestead acts, some of
the choicest tracts being within five or ten
miles of Great Falls, the coming milling
center of Montana.
Colonies of settlers looking for homes
in the New Northwest would do
well to send agents to carefully examine
unoccupied lands. 1t will be but
a short time before railroads will enter
country, attracted by the great coal
fields and the rich mining districts of the
Belt mountains. There will never again
be as favorable a time as the present for
securing these choice lands of Northern
Montana.
