The weekly tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1891-1894, 1891-11-21

whether any town in Montana Of twice
the population can boast of such a re
cord for n year. A careful estimate
furnished by a gentleman in a position
to know whereof he speaks places the
amount OF lumber used for building pur-
poses this year at one million feet. lie
also estimates that over one hundred
7 Thousand dollars were expended in
building, and 1t is expected that amount
will be surpassed another year. Now
that Neihart has become an ircurror-
atcd city it is but reasonable to suppose
his expectations for tn" ensuing
year are nunc too sanguine. The class
of buildings erected would DO Justice To-
an old and established city and speak
volumes Tor the faith Of the local ana
outside capitalists in the future Of N-i-
hart.
There are scoros Of private residences
s%umptuously furnished that are a great
credit 10 the city, ana, as a rule. are
owned and occupied by those who
helped TO make Nclhart what il is today.
The men who bravcd udyersity in IA
thousand shapes. faced the storms Of
the mountains, battica against financial
difficulties, dctied the various vicissi-
tudcs of a prospcctOr's life. and cvcntu-
ally came out victorious. No house can
be too finely finished or furnished
for The genuine %prOspector 81 the hard
working miner who has passed through
the various mutations of life consequent
upon such a calling. They are pioneers
in every sense of the word and deserve
the homage Of all.
When the golden spike was driven
several years ago III the Northern Pacific
at Gold Creek. Montana, there were
present a host Of wealthy and prominent
men from both continents. There was
speaking. poetry and song from the lips
of men and women of worldwide rCputa-
ton. But for all that something seemed
wanting. When the program Of en-
~erciscs for the day had been finished and
the vast asscmblage was on the point of
leaving some in the crowd
called on General Grant, who was Of the
Willard party, for a speech. The eX-
president responded in his grim, concise
way n Il name that touched the heart
of every old-timc Montanian present and
furnished a lifting finale to a day that
become historic. lie said he had lis
tened 20 all that had been said about
the greatness of the mcn who had built
the road. what a benefit the Northern
Pacific would be to the county through
which 1t passed, and so N. but no one
had mentioned anything about the pio-
ncers, the men who made it possible to
construct that great transcontinental
route. He warned the audience not to
forget that hardy race of men who had
/, braved hostile Indians. starvation and
like dangers. blazing the way for rail
roads and other Influences of civilization.
The speech electrified the crowd who had
grown weary listening to drcary plati-
tudes about Jay Cook and Henry Willard.
1t furnished that which had been want
ing in the previous exercises of the day,
as it was full Of truth. So. while cele-
hrating the completion of the road into
, Neihart today, don't forget the old time
prOspcctors who did So much to make a
F., railroad IA possibility and "A necessity.
