The scenes presented at the different
Christmas trees prepared by the churches
and various Sunday schools last evening,
was one we'll calculated to touch the
heart of the hardest anchorite. If the
many old bachelors of Great Falls could
have seen the smiling, expectant faces of
the children fairly beaming with pleas
ure as they received their presents they
would lose no time In surrounding them
selves with these blessings. Parents and
friends also shared in the Christmas te-
licitations.
AL AiAPSithuu LOa CDNdlC uCdl was COu'
summated Tuesdayevening by DR.. Crutch.
er. 1t was the disposal of 1850 acres in the
southwest quarter of section 10, township
20 north, range 4 east, a three-quarter in
terest OF which is owned by Mr.. w. p,
Wren, and DIR. Crutcher the remaining
fourth. 1t was sold to Amzie Dodd Of
Newark, N. j. for the sum of $4,000.
This sale is important, not alone because
of the large sum involved, but because it
e%xempliies anew the growing faith OF
conservative eastern investors in the
future of this city. Mr.. Dodd is presi-
dent of the Mutual Benefit Life associa-
ton, an institution representing $3.50, OOO, 0OO
of capital. 1t is safe to say that many
others of like financial standing will be
influenced to purchase here through this
sale. A large number of transfers. ag.
gregating many thousands of dollars, are
promised between this and New Years
1.-THE negotiations" said DR.. Crutcher
"are we'll nigh consummated and only
await a few ordinary formalities. You
may say that the inquiry for real estate
In and about Great Falls never was sc
active with prices all the while tending
upwards. I look confidently for all pro
Eerties to double in value within 81,
months"
