GREAT FALLS ALL RIGHT.

1t MAY have been and probably
was a misguided conception which
led II local Free Coinage Associa-
ton to resolve as it did in reference
to the Great Falls Board of Trade.
The editor ofkhis paper, obeying or
ders as secretary of said association,
reported the matter to the Great
Falls papers, and received from the
manager of the Great Falls Leader
the following prompt reply:
Ct. Falls, Mont. July 10.
Il. X. ABBOTT,
Neihart,
There are no gold bugs in Great Falls.
The Board of Trade elected delegates to
the silver convention and requested them
to have proper resolutions passed by the
convention. Some one has deceived you.
Great Falls is for Neihart and Barker
and silver, now and forever.
II. p. RoLFE.
BY this encouraging word from
Mr.. Rolfe, we see that the people of
Great Falls are thoroughly awake to
the situation, and that they appreci-
ate the material resources of the Lit
tie Belt Mountains, in valuable con-
nection with their own marvellous
progress. 1t is cheering to read this
response as it settles to the eminent
satisfaction of our citizens that the
rulers of destiny in Northern Mon
tana are one in mind and purpose,
possessed of that harmony of action
without which nothing can be done.
We congratulate the leaders of
thought in our sister town upon their
enthusiasm in the advocacy of right
and justice.

TnouGH in straights bordering
on dependency our citizens are
holding on peaceful and con-
tented. There have been no house
breakings or hold-ups as are reported
from neighboring towns, and this is
made more surprising by the fact
that our streets are as dark as Egypt
by the electric lights having been
turned off. A better or more law
abiding class Of citizens is not
found outside of a grave yard.
The Neihart herald. [volume] (Neihart, Mont.) 1890-1901, 1893-07-22

We need only wait short time
till all who have left Neihart will be
o filing back to their old homes
and asking us for the small pittance
with which tosbuysa meal. We will
fire the kitcheH stove, grease the
gr'ddle and fry them some of the
same kind of cakes we have lived on
for a season and think of the old
adage ''Chickens may range the pas
lures through the day, but they al
ways come home to roost.
The Neihart herald. [volume] (Neihart, Mont.) 1890-1901, 1893-07-22

IT is amusing, at the same time RI
diculous, to see the democratic press
in the west, crying apologetic
of the action Of the great
standard bearer and his financial
policy. The aforesaid cry
contains a mixture of that humble
faith which exclaims, although he
Stay me, yet will l trust in him."

delinquent wages. Verify the way

and the amendments thereto and the
agreements made by and in behalf
of the. Neihart Water Company,

Water Company in &C.
