steadily advanced. Yet, q few people
were wont to ask, what is there
here to make a town." A very fool
ish question, indeed.
Lewistown il in the centre of one
of the greatest stock and agricultural
regions in the world, and its mines,
though in the infancy of their devel-
Opment, contribute nc small share to
it's growth. Fergus county has more
sheep than any other county i'm the
United States, and it contains more
than a great many states. Itscattle
Craze on al thousand hills and in as
many valleys and but few counties
can boast of a larger number. The
soil is Is productive as any beneath
the sun, and no effort has been made
to test it's capabilities to the utmost.
The county is as large in square
miles as Massachusetts, Connecticut
and Rhode Island combined, and
though sparcely settled in some
sections, there are but few acres that
do not contribute to some extent to
our mAter1aI Welfare.
9 With such resources no one should
doubt the futureof Lewistown. The
only danger possible and which has
frightened some OF our people and
prevented them from building. is that
u railroad may be constructed
through the county without touch
ing Lewistown. We believe this will
come under the head of borrowed
trouble. If the present growth of
the place continues it will be of suffi-
Gent Importance to command recog-
milton before railroad graders are
visible. In any event it will have
attained such a growth that with
the county seat, central location,
water power. and proximity to the
mines, that it would require more
than the failure to secure a railroad
to seriously cripple the town.
The inauguration of new enter
prises should be given cordial well
come and support; that is the way a
town is built up. They bring more
people and consequently more con-
sumers. Old firms and institutions
hold their ground, new men and new
business houses draw trade from a
greater distance and tend to con-
and increase the volume, the
benefits being equally distributed.
We believe Lewistown is destined
to have a great future and without
some unforeseen obstacle settles i'm it's
pathway it will De among the half
dozen largest cities in the state twenty
years hence. 1t has generous. pub
lic-spirited business men, and they
pull together for the com
mon good.

able speciality, "A Yankee Sleigh

show, and from the repeated encores
we Judge the audience was entirely
willing to keep him before the foot
lights. Miss Nellie Johnson sang

ming many compliments. Mr.. Her

entertaining the audience with the
calls of song birds, admirably done.
He has rare talent in this direction.

that among the provisions for the

have no vote, but otherwise the same
privileges as other territorial repre-
~sentatives. The governor and some
higher territorial officers will be ap-
pointed by the president.

Since the letting of the contract for
the new high school building in May

cred a great deal of trouble, and to-
morrow the time for the completion
of the building will have expired.
However, the walls of the building
are only built to the height of the
windows in the first story, and the

The Growth of LeMiStOWn.

There is no question but Lewistown
is one of the best towns of it's size in
Montana. or in the northwest, for
that matter. While its growth has
not been as rapid as some Others 1T
has been gradual and safe, every year
showing evidences of Improvement.
Fifteen years ago the place was so
insignificant that the postoffice de-
partment took the responsibility OF
naming the burg. regardless OF the
wishes of it's citiZens-the depart
ment insisted upon the last syllable
being town instead of ton to
avoid confusion with lewiston,
Idaho, presumably. But this was
immaterial. "a rose by any other
name would smell as sweet" The
people here had faith in the town.
It's location was splendid and its re-
sources then and those prospective,
gave every assurance of a populous
and thriving city at no distant day.
The optomists have not been disap-
pointed. without any effort at
booming, without even an organiza-
ton to promote its growth orinduce
capital to invest here, the town has
