The RAINBOW club is considering the
proposition of establishing new quarters

has returned to Great Falls to permanent

found the interest in Montana so great
that he yielded to a request and delivered

mission fee of 25 cents, the lecture room
vas crowded, and as the fruit of Mr..
Jones' talks, a number of the sturdy

trious, honest Welchmen. Mr.. Jones is

Lawer T. E. Brady appeared before the
county commissioners yesterday in be-
half Of the registry agents of this county
for the election last fall. The registry

allowed. At the December meeting of the
commissioners warrants were issued to
the registry agents at the rate of 1920 pei

From present indications it is manifest
that Great Falls will this year experience
a degree of prosperous activity unpreced
ented in her history. The Townsite com
pany propose to build the great dam
themselves, and are already making ex
tensive preparations to that end. The
contract for building the branch railroads
to connect the Great Northern with the
Boston u Montana smelter has been let
the work to be done in six weeks. The
public spirit and enterprise of the citi'
zens of Great Falls Is well worthy the
emulation of her sister towns in the coun'
ty. 1t is only through push and enter
prise that great cities are built, and surely
Great Falls, having these necessary ele'
ments, will in time become the wholesale
center for the northern portion of Mon
tana.-Rising Sun.
