The Great Falls leader. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1888-1900, 1889-04-12

OF money will be spent by the democrats
at the coming election in order to bring
in this Territory as a democratic State.
Already Hauser and other democratic
leaders have made application to the
democratic national central committee
for money. By carrying Montana and
Washington Territory they hope to offset
the Dakotas, but the wisdom of the re-
publican legislature has placed a great
stumbling block in the way of the old
democratic methods of carrying elections
in this Territory. The registration law
and the Australian system of voting will
tend to insure fair vote, such vote as
has seldom been had in the Territory of
Montana. Money will have less influence
over the next election than ever before
and with fair vote and good work on the
part of the republicans we may expect to
see the republican majority of last fall
increased at least 5000 votes. There
should be no dissensions, and the repub-
licans should commence their work now.
The survey of the grounds about the
smelter has been made for the location
of other portions of the works. The
smelling company will hereafter endeav-
or to get as many men as possible who
have families They will employ about
$50 men soon and when the works are
completed they will hire about thou
sand men. A thousand families are
equivalent to population of about 600
people. The townsite company will set
apart forty acres of ground upon which
comfortable residences will be erected
for these people. The townsite company
itself will probably erect the buildings
and rent them at reasonable prices to the
employees. The grounds will be supplied
with water-works and every effort will he
made to make them attractive and beau
tiful. No liquors will be allowed to be
sold upon the ground. The benefits re-
sulting from the smelling works are in
calculable; they will cause the develop
ment of the rich mining camps of Barker
and Neihart, which will indirectly aid in
building up large city at this point.
A farmer LIVING in Sun River valley
said to lis yesterday that the building of
Great Falls was one of the greatest bles-
sings to Sun River valley that was ever
conferred upon it. Until the town was
started there was no market whatever
for produce Of any kind. Within the last
two. years he has sold over $1,50O.OO
worth of eggs to one of the merchants in
Great Falls, to say nothing of the hay
and vegetables he disposed of here, and
yet, he said, there are some of his neigh
bors who are receiving the same benefits
from this city, and are so blinded by
prejudice that they are continually run
ming down the town, although all the
time it has been the making of them H.
nancially.
