p. Rolfe, and will long be remembered
by the attorneys OF Great Falls.
Shortly after eight o'clock the invited
guests assembled in the spacious Masonic
rooms and soon repaired to the main
hall where the banquet was to be
held.
Around tables placed in the form OF
the letter Il the bright lights of the Cas-
cade county bar gathered and for an

Ii was nearly 10 o'clock when Judge
Kolfe raped for order and said that he
was sorry to noun that Messrs.
Leslie, Shores, Bishop, and q few others
OF the association were unavoidabiy alb
sent, He said too much praise could
not be awarded the aiFable gentleman
from the "BlucNGrass' region of Ken
! lucky who had assisted in the range
ment Of the program and had obtained
for the use of the bar association some
first class "Kcntucky buttermilk."
! President Rolfe then told how, twelve
years ago, he slept on Box Elder in a
little cabin, through which more or less
cold penetrated. How he fret saw the
| present site Of this city, when it was the
! home Of the rattlrsnake, the jack rabbit
and the coyote. He spoke Of the Won
derful transformation a few years had
witnessed. The haunts of the jack rab-
bit and the coyote had given way to
Il city with its phases of
human action and character.
The great waters OF the Missouri had
\ been chained until they had been forced
to do the bidding Of man and set in mo-
ton the forces destined to make this the
| Minneapolis Of Montana. Five years ago
the speaker had but two rivals IN the
legal field, today the bar association con-
sisted Of thirty-tive active members.
Thanking the gentlemen for the honor
they had shown him by being present
the speaker concluded with a brilliant
prophecy for the future Of the associa
ton and for Great Fails.
