dred thousand, will be but the seapor,
of the chief city of the continent,
Muchan, the celebrated English sta.
tistican, in a recent calculation, says
that in 1920 London will have a popu.
lation of eight millions and her sole
rival in the world will be the once in
significant village of the Illinois prai.
ries. Chicago, with a people number
ing seven and a half millions, while
New York will come trudging along
with her six millions. If this is true
the capital of the western continent
will be on the borders OF lake Michi-
gan. This is looking ahead only 25
years and opens up possibilities which
almost confound the belief. And yet
if we are to Judge from the past, it
must be a safe prediction. Within my
own memory and within the limits of
my own life in Chicago, | have seen the
city grow from a population Of sixty
FIVE thousand to more than a million
and a half. I have seen it as a cheaply
built wooden village of the west, once
utterly destroyed in a night by a fire
which swept off seventeen hundred
acres of buildings since rebuilt of
wood and stone and iron into a city of
beauty and strength which has no rival
on the continent. Great is Chicago
with one hundred and twenty-five
square miles of land for building pur-
poses: streets ten miles in length solid
built up from end to end business
structures twenty stories high; mag
niiicent hotels and private dwellings,:
thirty miles Of internal harbors: fifteen
hundred railroad trains arriving at
and leaving her depots every day.
There is the ceaseless sound of the
hammer OF the artizan: the smoke and
steam from ten thousand factories and
forges: the hum and hurry Of a mil
lion of men engaged in trade and traf-
TIC with all parts of the world.
This is but a faint picture of the
magnificent City of the Lakes destined
at no distant day not only to rival but
to oulstrip all the great cities of the
world.

THE GAYLORD D

The gentlemen who are back OF the big

6rst favor of the people OF Madison county

s%ioners. They want a bridge built across
the Jefferson river, at a point directly op.
posite the proposed Madison county site OF
the new town. This done, their represent
atlves, who were in town last week on
this mission, assured Us that the new
town will be in Madison county in it's en-
tirety.
Public sentiment Is strongly In favor OF
the building OF this bridge. In tact we
have not heard Il single objection. On no
question that has arisen III county affairs IN
years have the people been so united, and
it is a pleasure tor the M~ADIsoNIAN In en-
dorsing the proposition, to voice the sentl-
ments OF a liberal and united people.
The investments already made and con-
templated and the improvements now un-
der way and projected by this enterprising
concern, Will run INTO millions. 1t is safe
to assert that three years hence the Parrot
Company will have increased the assessed
valuation OF the county IN Its particular To-
salty, by SO Is per cent. to say nothing OF
vast indirect benefits, which we will re-
eeive. When the operations of the COM
pany are fairly under way 1t vii, pay tor

The deadlock in the city council

Interesting. -Four aldermen and the
mayor, constituting IL quorum of the
new council, met Tuesday evening and
organized. Two members were alb

Aessrs. Cole and Stark receiving two
votes each with Il m%onotonous regular
lty the mayor, according to local prcc-
edent, havlng'nO voice in such,matters.
The deadlock might have continued
indefinitely. but the aldermen got
tired, went into executive session and
ADJOURNED. At a subsequent meeting
the matter was deferred until the next
regular meeting--the first Tuesday in
March.
The present incumbent, Mr.. Stark,
will hold over until his successor is

In the meantime, the unsuccessful

they would have, had the result been
different.

CAPT. MENDENHALL'S DEATH.

The death of John S. Mendenhall, of
Bozeman, Saturday at his home, was a
strong reminder to those of the old
timers who are still living that there
are fewer members of their number re-
naming as the years go by, and that
the list is diminishing with greater
rapidity with the flight of time. Capt.
Jack Mendenhall was one of the
best known pioneers of the state, and
one OF the most likely to be remember
ed after he is gone. His fame is writ
ten on the tablets Of the memory Of
many a a who had no claim upon
him save of the brotherhood of man.
He was a friend in need to those he had
known n early days, and to those
whom he had not met until long after
he had blazed the trail by which they
were enabled to more easily make the
journey to the famed land of gold.
All OF the pioneers of Montana knew
Mendeuhall.
THE advent of Capt. Mendenhall
and the members OF the party with
which he came was practically the be-
ginning OF the settlement of the coun-
try said Col. w. #. Sanders yester-
day. lin the early DAYS he was quite
an active and quite an important fac
tor in the building up of the country.
He remembered his friends and endear-
ed himself to them by his liberality
under circumstances when it did the
most good. During the past few years
his health seemed to fail him, and he
gradually grew worse, so that his
death did not come as an entire sur
prise. He made considerable money.
and leaves his family we'll provided
for, think"
James Gourley knew him as long
ago as any of his associates of the early
days In the state. For 10 a Mr..
Gourley was with him in business in
the Gallatin valley. He first met him
at Bannack in 1862.
He has been identified with Montana
as much us any man in it,. " said he. "He
always had ample means, and he never
failed to help a mar along the road. l
do not think itis'an exaggeration to say
that he has preserved the little homes
OF more families than any man in the
state or territory. He did that By ju-
dicious extension of credits and unosten-
tatious deeds of kindness to all whom
he deemed worthy of assistance.
"Mendenhall came to Montana when
1t was unknown. That was in the fall
OF 1862. He and his party came in by
way OF the Salmon river. They met
some sort Of misfortune, and lost ev-
erything they had in the way of pro-
visions. They got a little wheat m
where along the line, and that, with
the fish and game they obtained along
the trail, was all they lived on for some
time. Up where Lump Gulch nox:is,
they met q half bred Indian named
