PROSPECTS OF A HEAVY IMMIGRATION.
Great Falls Will be a Great Manufac-
turing Center Unless the Mis-
souri, River Runs
Dry.
Almost a Collision on the Teton
Grade, East Of Benton, Last
Monday.

d. r. McGinnis, the immigration agent
of the Great Northern, arrived in Great
Falls yesterday on No. 8, after an absence
OF several months from the state. In the
meantime he has been travelling extern
sively through the east Ill the interest of
| Montana immigration. Asked about the
prospects for an influx of people and cap
ital next year, he said:
at could not we'll be brighter. Kansas
and Nebraska, tue natural dumping
ground for the surplus population and
wealth OF the eastern states, are both
practically bankrupt and are not receiv-
ing an immigrant, while the whilom Ok
lahoma has proven a FOOLS paradise and
is being depopulated. The fame OF Mon
tana has gone abroad and its even pros
perity and steady advancement even un-
der the somewhat unfavorable conditions
of the past two years has attracted atten-
ton throughout the east. First we had
the Kansas boom, then the Southern Cal
ifornia boom and lastly the Washington
boom. At present no n state is receiv-
ing a heavy immigration and surplus cap.
ital and population are gathering rapidly
in the east to break forth, l believe, in
this direction If the proper measures are
taken to lay our advantages before the
country"
"Are any other states making a strong
effort to attract attention in the east?"
"Yes, the southern states with one &C.
cord are supplicatlng for northern capt.
tai and northern energy to develop our
undeveloped resources and Texas in
particular has dozens Of paid agents
travelling constantly through Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio aud other states trying to
turn the tide to the southwest"
"Wha measures should we take to
make our advantages known?"
"There are many ways to effect such a
purpose. Glittering generalties in the
case Of Great Falls may be superseded
by statements OF concrete facts, so COM
plete and we'll rounded are your resour-
ces. Nature has done everything for
your city and your citizens have display
ed energy and perseverance in utilizing
these resources, but the comparative youth
Of Great Falls has made it impossible to
make its advantages so we'll known as
such places as older Denver and Seattle,
which have had years of free advertising
through the columns of the eastern
press"
"What do you think OF the future of
Great Falls?'' ,
"Just this: The only thing that can
keep you from having a great manufac-
turing center would be for the Missouri
river to run dry and subterranean fires to
devour the coal under the Sand Coulee
bench lands. With either of these your
future Is assured. With both, combined
with your precious and base metals, your
grazing and timber areas, he who runs
mayrread that here is the coming seat of
industrial empire for the northern Rocky
mountains region"
We are glad 10 learn that immigration
Agent McGinnis will spend the winter in
Montana and will take an important part
in advertising the resources of this great
| state.

crowded. then decided to aid memory
by writing, and address you from notes
and manuscript.
Thus far have gone: the subject is
too prolific to do it justice on this occa-
sion. The early pioneers were stall
wart body of men, all engaged III the

The panorama of the early history Of
st. Paul and Ramsey county is crowded
with the likeness and memory of such
early settlers as the following, whom

ernor of the territory of Minnesota;
moderate in counsel. bland and court

Alexander Wilkin, the courteous sec
rotary of the territory, the ladies' favor

the late Rebellion, a martyr to the Union
cause

THE MARTIAL SPIRIT.
Three Military Companies Before
the Civil War.

In calling your attention to the early
military organizations of st. Paul, per-
nit ME to say that the reference is made
in no spirit of egotism or boast, but
simply to do justice to those military OF
CARNATIONS, comprising citizens of
every occupation in life, who were
our country. and guard and protect the
lives of their fellOw-cltiZens. How we'll
those duties were performed | must
leave history to record. Being one of
them, [ can truthfully say they were
ever ready for duty when called upon,
and always responded with alacrity to
the bugle cali for active service; and,
Notwithstanding the carping criticisms
of the stay-at-homes of that period,
/ am confident those OrganiZa-
tons of the citizen soldiery
were the chief instruments in
protecting the lives and property of the
frontier settlers, creating confidence in
the government, and teaching the noble
red man (?) such lesson in many local
tiles as ever after to respect the right of
the white man, thus aiding to settle up
our vast domain in peace and quiet, and
guaranteeing the future settler the per
manent and quiet enjoyment OF his

The companies to whom [ refer and

further statement on its behalf, other
than to say we tried to do our duty.
Whether we succeeded or not history
must answer for US.
The aforementioned three military
companies were the only citizen sol
diers of this city, and l commend the
memory of their good deeds to the
Junior Pioneers, not forgetting that
many of the members OF those three
companies, when Minnesota was APP
pealed to by President Lincoln for its
quota of men to aid in depressing the
late Southern rebellion, stepped at once
| to the front and became conspicuous on
many a hard-fought battle field, an
honor to ST. Paul and Ramsey county;
| and the memory of the fallen ones must
sacredIy attach itself to the Junior
| Pioneer association by the holy ties of
consanguinity. blood and friendship.
They fought and died that you might
live. Cherish their memory and, if
ever called upon by your country, emu
late their patriotism.

known as the business man Of the nine

that his investment is good one in

the past few years what the next an

ward, and putting a ticket in
his right hand; he was thus escorted
to the polls, battering-ram fashion,
his escort crying out make way, gem
tlemen. and permit an intelligent citizen
to cast free and independent ballot"
His ballot was thus received by the
judges of election, the voter permitted
to resume his normal footing, and he
was quickly led away by some of the
crowd to go and see man; at least that
was the invitation extended to this free
and independent voter.
Another picture of the other extreme.
incidental to election times, was when
a large crowd were assembled in what
was known as Calder'S saloon, on Third
street, between Jackson and Robert,
celebrating an election victory. Men
of all nationalitieS were there drinking
and carOuSing; among the number
was a Col. Brock and brother.
Kentuckians by birth. A good
natured hiShman named Simon
Dalton was with the BreckS III the
crowd. The best Of feeling seemed to
prevail between the BreckS and Dalton;
when on sudden poor Dalton was
heard to cry out, IL am stabbed" which
proved to be- too true. Some one had
stabbed him in the abdomen, causing
his death: but none saw the dastardly
coward do the deed; the crowd was so
thick that the assassin took advantage
of that condition of things and took the
life of poor Dalton, The excitement
was intense, for a more c0ld-blO0dcd
murder was never committed. Poor
Dalton now sleeps in one Of our grave
yards, but his murderer escaped. His
killing was charged to the brother OF
Col. Breek, who left the town shortly
aftar. to be followed by the colonel at an
early day. No cause has ever been as
signed for this terrible crime other than
the supposed animoslty existing at the
time between the native and foreign
born citizens. The Brecks we're accused
OF being Native Anne ricanS. or Know
NOthings, while Dalton was an adopted
citizen. And about this time the
organization known as "KnOW Moth
ingS'' was trying to establish itself
as one of the political parties of the day.
Happily it did not succeed, and shortly
after the murder of Dalton, you could
not lind Know Nothing III the town.

so deep in oblivion'S grave that no power
