Our llluStriOlS Visitors

The recurring appearance at Great
Falls of President Hill and his associates
of the great st. Paul, Minneapolis and
Manitoba railway system, and Colonel
Broadwater, of the Montana Central, is
something that our citizens are disposed
to appreciate as Il promise Of good things
for us in the near future. That they
cherish Il sort of patcrnal interest in this
present western terminus of the road
They have invested millions in travers-
ing the vast extent Of territory lying be-
tween the settled sections of Minnesota
through the wide open prairics Of North
Dakota, over the undulating plains, basins
and tablelands of Northern Mon
tana, till recently nnsettlcdand unknown.
and the rolling Of their mighty engine,
is heard in our streets. The powerful in
tluence Of this almost sllperhuman aycn-
cy, in reclaiming the desert. building
town and cities and even in reducing the
mountain Businesses to the hnbitntion Of
civilized man, can scarcely be conceived
The ineNhaustible stores OF gold. silver,
and copperbearing lodges aud lead and
iron ores i'll the Belt Mountains will be
brought near. even to our doors. through
this agency. A road will soon be built
making it i pleasure excursion of but a
day or two to see Puget Sound and the
waters Of the Pacific ocean. These stu
pcndous works are part and portion Of
the programme to be enacted for our de
lectation, and all by the magnificent Sy@
TEN of which James j. Hill is the head
and master mind. We are, for these and
many other reasons, specially gratitiod
with the presence of these gentlemen in
our city from time to time. and the often
or. the more welcome.

Chris Dickinson, though only a butch
er, illustrated in flowery manner, the
growth of Great Falls, stating that when
he opened the first meat market here,
about four years ago one mutton per week
would supply the demand. Now it was
one thousand
There was no suggestion that ''it was a
long time between drinks for the flow
OF champagne, like that Of the souls par
taking it, was continuous.
The last toast was made by Ills Honor
the Mayor himself:
"Herc's champagne to our real friends.

Onr reporter having gone to sleep, we
regret that a more full exhibit of the
sayings and doings Of the official Unfair

''And when they all do meet again.
May we be there to see.'

Shaw, aged "a years.
Mr.. Shaw was native Of CANADA,
having been born in Oxford county,
Ontario, March 2Sth, 1924, but he
was a rugged branch of the hardy
old Scotch tree, and was as much a
Scotchman as though he had come
but yesterday from the land OF the
thistle. He came to this country
from his Canadian home in 1876,
purchased the farm on which he
died, and has lived here ever since,
a widely known, highly respected
gentleman and staunch christian,
having been reared, having lived
and died a member of the Presby-
terian church,
Mr.. Shaw has been ailing since
the first week of December, and
since the first of the new year he
has suffered severely up to within a
few hours of his death, when acute
pain ceased and he passed to the
death struggle in peaceful ease.
The deceased leaves a widow
and nine children, the latter being
John A. Shaw, Of Stayton, VIM.
