! Fargo Argus: John Germ was elected
alderman at Great Falls for the two years
I term with eight candidates in the field
John is rustler and awfully we'll liked
in Montana. BY the way, Great Falls
expects the Northern Pacific in there this
fall by q branch from Billings. The
Northere Pacific has bought the old town
site below the falls. Fargo boys generally
doing well here.
There is a general feeling that thu
!; Northern Pacific will build into this sec
ton in short time. Three routes ar
already under consideration by them; on
from Billings would pass not far from
Maiden mines, those OF Dry Wolf, Barke
and Neihart, thence down Otter creek t.
Belt creek and on to Great Falls; anothe
would come up from Livingston VI
= Shields river to White Sulphur Springs
thence down Smith river near Houn
:, creek, thence to Great Falls. Anothe
line under consideration is from Helen
direct to Great Falls. The Northern Pa
ciic is now carrying large quantities Q
ore for the Great Falls smelter, and tn
transportation of ore would be great in
ducement to that road.
