Governor Toole showed good sense
in refusing to extend executive Glenn

in Missoula, last Friday. An appeal
was made to him in behalf OF the
Indians by residents of Missoula, a
number being ladies, but the governor
could see no grounds for interfer ence.
The Indians were cold-blooded mur.

mistake about their guilt. 1t is all

THE GROWTH OF LEwIsrowN

Elsewhere will he found an rticls
which VIII interest il not surprise our
citizens. Ii is a showing of the build
ing and improvements which have
taken place in Iewistown in the past
seven months. Fully sixty thousand
dollars have been expended in n few
months, and some fifty new buildings
erected. This is certainly a gratifying
exhibit, particularly as there has been
no effort made to boom the place. 1t
Is natural, healthful growth.
The growth OF Lewistown in the past
seven years has been slow but con
slant. Without any mines close at
hand employing labor, without mills
or manufacturing establishments. il
was thought by some that Lewistown
could not amount to anything. We
never held this opinion. The most
prosperous and substantial towns in
the world are those surrounded by
rich agricultural lands. Iewistown j.
centrally located in the county. ON
one OF the finest streams in the state. /
and surrounded by rich grazing and
agricultural country.
We predict that there will be nearly
rs much building next season a. dur
rlng the present. a number of gentle
men have declared their intention of
residences, while two or three
business houses will be added 10 the
present number.
