The Neihart herald. [volume] (Neihart, Mont.) 1890-1901, 1891-11-20

Whom all should like and none should
hate;
He has stood by us up to date,
And money here invested. e
We thank all people far and near,
Who ever have invested here
We thank them for this proof OF
sand,
Their faith in Neihart, and its land;
Before our camp was tested.
And now Oh! Father, Lord and King,
Our heartfelt thanks to thee we bring
For health and strength thus given.
Oh! bless us, Lord, just as we stand;
Our mountain homes, this glorious land,
And all that's in it living.
May the brave men this state shall raise,
Thy laws revere, and sing Thy praise
For ever and for ever.
This was delivered in an intensely
interesting style and was received
with loud and long applause.
Next was introduced the
HON. E. d. WEED OF HELENA,
who delivered an Grafton, which for
excellent thought and we'll chosen
words, was such as he alone is able to
give. He begun by giving a glowing
eulogy upon the occasion, terming it
a most fitting day to celebrate. Es-
pecially as it is the early voice COM
ing from the most prominent min
ing section of this grand state; it
is the first great step in the develop
ment of a land of wealth and power.
The railroads coming means much
for the place. 1t means cheap fuel;
it means cheaper commodities, quick
transportation and a ready market.
1t means rapid development of a
country whose possibilities are CON-
paratively illimitable. His speech
was fraught with intense interest
and was clothed in language which
displayed great ability and force of
expression. He received loud and
repeated applause.
COL w. F. SANDERS OF HELENA,
we'll known to old timers, was called
upon next. His wit and freedom of
thought are too we'll known to call
comment. He willingly re-
ferred to the day as a notable we'd
ding in which the state, the BRIDE
groom comes to wed the virgin
camp, and finds the bride adorned in
jewels with all beauty and loveliness.
He said this is the only place in the
world where the pugilistic rule al
lowed "striking below the Belt"
He extended a beautiful tribute to our
c%nterprising town and spoke hearty
thanks to our people on behalf of
the state for their most hospitable
entertainment. He said that he re-
ioiced that the time was near when
we would have have but a few hours
ride to the capital of the state. 1--WE
suppose of course that he meant
Great Falls.) All honor to the men
of courage and strong will who have
persevered through h~ardships and
patient toll till their salvation should
appear. And may they live many
years to enjoy the fruits of their la
bors. The day is not far distan
when every home and freside i,
Montana shall be within the SCUM,
Of the locomotive whistle. Fast ant
marvellous has been the transfer
nation from the rude hamlet to tn
splendid town. Our hopes are TO
the women and children. VIVA
moral forces are to prevail in on
town for good? What will each in
dividual do for the enduring monu
ments of intelligence and powe'
What will the citizens do for tn
public schools, for the permanent e.
Enlistment of education and hig
moral training.
These thoughts and many othel
hastily taken from the speeches
these able men were considere
worthy of publication, and Il
HERALD will endeavor to secul
their entire speeches for future pull
LEGATION.
HON. i. L. COLLINS,
of Great Falls being in the audienc
was then called forward. Mr.. Co
Inns is president of the First Nation
bank at this place and has mar
financial interests here which ende
him to u people. He said: "(
