Falls has thrown of the swaddling clothes
of infancy and reached that stage where
the shafts of envy are harmless.
tar-seeing eastern business men who
have been here lately looking the field
over have arrived at the conclusion that
this is beyond a doubt one of the best
points in the state for the establishment
OF big grocery house. They recognize
that the trade is here, and they propose to
have some of it regardless of all the town
at the head of Last Chance can do to-
ward poo hooing the enterprise. A WE'LL
known citizen, who recently returned
from the east, informed a STANDARD re-
porter that a company will shortly be or
ganized in St. Paul for the establishment
OF such n house here with at least a $780,
COO capital. The project has assumed
such shape that already an effort is being
made to secure a good location in the
central part of the city. If one cannot be
found in the very near future the COM
pany VIII engage temporary quarters
until substantial building can be
erected. The opening of such an estab-
lishment as is contemplated will mark tho
ilrst step toward making this the jobbing
center OF Northern and Eastern Montana.
1t Will prepare the way for wholesale con-
Germs dealing in other lines and undoubt-
eddy hasten the completion of the Bur-
lington into Great Falls.

list OF vice presidents was also elected.
the idea being 10 have one or two in each
oil the several states. David G.. Browne
o. Fort Benton and j. b. Collins of Miles
City were made vice presidents for this
state.
As might have been expected, the meet
ing did not declare for free silver. Mon.
tana was not represented, consequently
the white metal was not mentioned. Mr..
browne, who was here yesterday, said he
knew nothing of his appointment TO the
empty honor of n vice presidency until he
read an account of the meeting in the
eastern papers. He considers II a scheme
on the part of St. Paul and Minneapolis
TO corral the trade of the Northwest. As
silver was ignored, he does not anticipate
that the so-called Northwestern board of
trade will result in increasing trade from
Montana.
