A SINGLE YEARS PROGRESS.

We do not hazard much in the asser-
that no resident Of Great Falls who has
not given the matter special attention has
or can form any conception of the amount
OF building and other improvements
made in this city and its environs during
the season just past. Our city site is so
expansive that many houses might be in
process Of erection at the same time with
out attracting particular notice. These
improvements have been pushed steadily,
vigorously and quietly from early spring
until the present time, without cessation
or interruption. Our citizens have scarce
" heard the noise of the mason's trowel
or the carpenters handsaw or hammer;
and yet the number and extent of public
and private structures that have reared
their stately proportions around us, when
catalogued, will stagger even some Of our
best-advised people.
To people abroad, who gaze upon the
map and cursorily pass over the oblong
subdivision thereon denominated Mon
tana and think Of it only as forlorn, in
hospitable cline, the exhibit Of q single
years building at Great Falls, published
in todays LEADER, will be something
incredible. They will look, and look
and look again. They will say, peradven-
ture there may be some mistake in this.
The dates may be wrong. The exhibit
must include more than the improvements
of a single year. Look again, friends.
We have made no mistake. This is an
actual and truthful statement, so far as
obtainable, Of the extent, character and
cost of the building done here during the
year 1883. Nor does this include all the
work Of an entire year, but only that done
since about the first of May last. Should
the opening of the spring Of 1889 be
as favorable as now anticipated,
a considerable addition will proba-
bly, be made as properly be-
longing within the details Of full
years Improvements. We ourselves con-
fess that the bare assertion that since the
spring Of the present year there had been
improvements made in and around our
city to the value of one million of dollars,
would have shaken our credulity. But
when the figures were shown lis repre-
senting this vast amount, we could no
longer doubt. Figures do not lie. They
tell the cold facts. They declare to the
country that here, in the "wild west,' y
upon the eastern slope of the Rocky
Mountains, is city of but two years
growth with population of at least $500
souls, whose real estate improvements for
single season have actually exceeded a
a million of dollars! Our published
estimate, it should be borne in mind,
does not include the value of the lots or
land upon which the buildings have been
erected. Nor does this estimate include
any outlay for fencing, tree-planting,
well-boring, and thousand other items
that might also be classed in the list of
substantial outlay for Improvements,
which would swell the actual investment
and disbursement of moneys here for the
season Of 1888 to nearly II quarter of a
million more. If there is another city in
the Union of our age and population that
can make such showing we should like
to learn of it,
The Great Falls leader. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1888-1900, 1889-01-01

equaled, in any portion of the United
States. Where, within the limits of the
continent, outside of Montana, are oats
raised averaging from forty-ive to fifty
pounds to the bushel? Where, beyond
the confines Of Montana, does the earth 80
yield in her strength the vegetable tubers
and succulents, the potato, the cabbage
species, or the turnip? Ifpotatoes weigh
ing eight to ten pounds each and turnips
three to four feet in circumference have
been raised elsewhere in America, we
have never heard of it. That Northern
Montana has even exceeded these pro-
portions is capable of ocular demonstra-
ton. Nor is the quality of our cereals or
vegetables excelled. The No. Montana
hard wheat stands at the head with the
miller. The Sand Coulee or Belt Creek
potato, grown to perfection without irri-
CATION, is by all connoisseurs of the vege-
table kingdom, pronounced the best in
America; and that is good enough, for
America today leads the world in agri-
culture, arts and manufactures.
Not more central is Montana among
the grandest Gordon of territories in the
Union, than is Great Falls among the
beautiful and prosperous cities of Mon
tana. With the heManitoba-Pacific running
its daily through trains from Duluth, on
Lake Superior, to Seattle, or any other
point on Puget Sound, which is but a
question of a very brief time; and with
the Canadian and Union Pacific connect
ed by northerly and southerly line OF
railway, also an assured occurrence of the
near future; is there any other point be-
tween the eastern and western terminii
Of the great Manitoba system, more eligi.
BILE than Great Falls for a distributing
centre, both north and south, as we'll ae
east and west? Alberta and Assiniboia
provinces Of the Dominion of Canada
bound lis on the north, and these are
| regions abounding in herds and focks
coal measures, agricultural and grazing
lands. They must also become tributary
to the wealth and importance Of Great
Falls, the future industrial emporium o1
Montana.
Our citizens are preparing for the in
eyitable and will receive and welcome
the advance of empire and prowess with :
becoming grace.

EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
BY REV. r. A. R1aG1N.

The Methodist Episcopal church Of
Great Falls has had remarkable growth.
Rev. Jacob Mills, p. f., preached the first
sermon ever delivered in Great Falls,
when stationed at Ft. Benton and circuit
extended to Sun River. This was four
years ago. Rev. Joel Vigus succeeded
Mr.. Mills at Fl. Benton, and preached
occasionally at Great Falls.
In August, 1881, the present pastors,
Rev. F. A. Riggin and W. W. Van Arsdel,
were assigned to the work embracing Ft.
Benton, Great Falls and the vicinities.
To reach the field It required a stage ride
of 225 miles from our conference. Tho
st. Paul, NJ. q NJ. railroad was approach
ing, but had not reached this section. To
inaugurate the work 1t required stage
ride forty-three miles every trip we made
and the attending EXPENSE Sometimes
it was on horseback or in buggy.
When we began the work there was
not member of the church In town,
nor place Of worship for us except the
school house. A subscription was taken
In March, 1883, which increased from
time to time to $2,500, including the aid
received from the Board OF Church Ex-
tension. In June last ground was broken
and the foundation Of the church laid
and by October u neat beautiful brick
church was so far completed as to be
ready for temporary occupancy> Since
that time, on various occasions, the church
has been filed by an interesting and ap-
preciative audience.
October 14th, 1883, Sunday school
was organized when nine were present.
It has steadily increased until the attend
ance reached sixty-six.
A Young Peoples Society Of Christian
Endeavor was organized in November,
numbering thirty, which hold an interest
ing meeting every Sabbath evening at
p. nj,
The memership of the church has in
creased to Is and gradually enlarging.
An interesting revival has been going on
In the church for three weeks which has
been very helpful and promises great
good. A very efficient and excellent La
dies Aid Society has contributed very
greatly to the success Of the church work
I and from present indications one Of the
most delightful Of Methodist churches is
being planted in Great Falls. The Great
Falls Water Power and Townsite Co.
have been very kind to us, donating two
of the best lots In Great Falls to us and
otherwise aiding us greatly, for which We
are thankful. We also appreciate the
kind aid Of the people Of Great Falls gen
orally and especially the business men
for their constant and liberal aid. Notwith-
standing our experience runs back to 1879
In the work in the Rocky Mountains, we
know of no more hopeful and pleasant
church work inaugurated in all Of this
region. The glory belongs to God, who
has given to our people such kind and
excellent spirit.
Our contiguous work at Fl. Benton,
Highwood, Belt, Otter Creek and Sand
Co,llee has correspondingly grown. From
two Sunday schools we now have five and
more than three times the attendance.
Our combined congregations will number
500. The kindness and interest of the
people all over the work have greatly en-
deared them to us and give promise Of
permanence and growth exceedingly en-
couraging.

arc no donbt many persons In this city
who are conversant with the extraordin-

be lively times in the real estate business
next spring in the Cataract city. That's

BEGINNING to See the Point.

Mr.. 7. V. Powderly, the leader of the
Knights Of Labor. made a statement in one
of his speeches in the convention Of that or
ganization in Atlanta a day or two ago,
that will command good deal of attention
from workingmel in all parts Of the
country. He said substantially that the
! high protective tariff is good thing for the
manufacturer, but is burdensome to the
wage Garner. The effect of a high pro-
tective tariff is he said, to make the rich
richer and the poor poorer.
1t has not been very long since Mr. Pow
DERBY was protectionist, and believed that
protection insured good wages to working
men, Careful observation Of the workings
of the tariff laws and thorough consider
alton OF the tariff question have convinced
him that he was wrong. He sees that the
manufacturers are making vast fortunes,
but he does not see any improvem ent in the
wages of workingmen. He declares that
the struggle of the workingmen for exist
ence is becoming yearly harder.
1t is source of satisfaction that Mr..
Powderly has told the Knights of Labor
the change that has taken place in his views
on the tariff, because they will be Influenced
by what he has said 70 give the tariff more
thought than they have heretofore. The
workingmen have been always so much
nder the influence Of the manufacturers
that they have never given the tariff issue
much thought. They have accepted to a
great extent the view their employers
took of it, and, in doing 80. supposed that
they were serving their own interests. Mr..
Powderly's change Of front will, doubtless,
open their eyes to the extraordinary bur
dens which the protective tariff imposes
upon them, and at the next national election
they may show by their votes that won
derful change has taken place in their views
with respect to the tariff issue.
The last national campaign was an edu-
cational one, so far as the tariff was con-
cerned. Mr.. Cleveland's tariff message to
congress started the people to thinking
about the tariff. 1t the campaign had
been little longer the chances are that
Cleveland and tariff reform would have
triumphed. The educational campaign
which Mr.. Cleveland inaugurated, how
ever, is producing good results. Two great
republican states virtually approved tariff
reform in the elections this month, and the
tariff reform leaven is beginning to have a
marked effect among workingmen.
