was in town yesterday. Mr. McNajr was
so interested in the Tribune's account Of
the growth Of Great Falls that he came

expectations have been more than realiz-
ed and it is probable that he will invest
before leaving.

packed themselves away in the car re-

though the preparatory arrangements are
being made for the removal of the rail-
road buildings from the other side. Fnnr
tracks have already been constructed in
the vicinity Of the wool warehouse and
three more will be built, making seven in
all. The facilities for handling FREIGHT
will thus be perfect. The round honse
and other buildings will be located inst
above the warehouse. 'N''
