Today Great Falls has larger freigh'
tonnage than any other town in Mon
tana, and is the largest shipping and re
c%eiving point west Of st. Pau, and Min
neapolis. There are more switch en-
gines employed in the freight yards o
J this town than at any other town be-
tween Minneapolis and Seattle. Not
w~ithstanding the hard times the freight

The shipment Of two carloads of bak-
ers' flour yesterday from GreatiFalls to
Liverpool calls to mnu the statement
made by one of our citizens, two or three
years ago that the time would come before
many years when flour would be shipped
from Great Falls to Great Britain under
one bill of fading. This shipment yes
terday is a notable event as marking the
dawn of a business which in time will
assume enormous proportions. The val
leys and table lands of Montana will ere
long become one vast grain-growing
country. and here at Great Falls will be
built up the most important tiour-pro-
ducing center west of Duluth and Min
neapolis.
