The Great Falls leader. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1888-1900, 1889-02-24


day on the Eastern train and is visiting
his brother, E. r. Clingan, the we'll
known merchant of Belt. DR.. Clingan
was here about two years ago and is
greatly surprised at the marked change
that has taken place in Great Falls since
his last visit
The Rocky Mountain Husbandman
has got it bad. In stating that if the
railroad from Great Falls to Neihart is
not built this season, the great smelter
at the Falls will lie idle, it is way off. If
it could see the carloads of ore running
down to the smelter every day from the
Cour d'Alene and Red Mountain districts,
it would surmise that there would be
plenty of ore even without that from the
Neihart and Barker. We hope to have
the railroad just the same.
Miss Mabel Martin on Thursday even
ing last gave a progressive euchre party
to the young people of Great Falls in
honor Of Miss Atkinson, of Helena, sister
Of Mr.. Frank P. Atkinson of the firm of
Hanks s. Atkinson, of this city. Many
handsome prizes were awarded to the
best players. After the distribution Of
prizes the guests were invited to partake
Of a delicious wine supper, prepared with
all the elegance and bounteousness char
acteristlc Of the hospitality of Mr. and
Mrs. Martin.
The New Northwest, in stating that
the passage Of the admission bill involves
Montana in three elections-one to vote
for delegates on the adoption of the old
constitution, one on the ratification of the
old constitution as amended to con-
form to this act,and one for the election of
legislature, member of Congress and all
the state, county, district, township and
other officers, says this is a pretty hard
deal on the officers who were elected last
November, as it will cut their term of
| office to one year or less.

Territories may thus be brought together
to participate in a jollificatton the joy of
which we can imagine but not depict.
