HE'S STILL THEIR PASTOR
First Presbyterian Church Won't
Let Rev. d. Gwynne Resign.
THE FACTS IN THE CASE
There Have Been Some Misleading and
Unauthorized Statements, Which
Members of the Session Take
Pains to Correct.

Great Falls. Jan. 1.-The following
statement has been issued by the plem-
bers of the First Presbyterian church
regarding the numerous reports of the
resignation of their pastor. DIR.
Gwynne:
The undersigned. members of the
session Of the Presbyterian church. de-
sire 10 state that the articles appearing
IN recent papers. in regard To our
church. We're wholly unauthorized and
entirely misleading and were made
without the knowledge of any or either
OF us. The synodical home mission
committee asked DR.. Gwynne to assume
temporarily the duties of superintend-
ent of missions, during DR.. Baird's i'll
ness, ana at a meeting of the session DIR.
GWynne rendered his resignation sas
pastor of the church, but the session,
not accepting his resignation, granted
MN leave of absence To fill the position
made vacant through the illness of DR.
Baird; DR. Gwynne agreeing, at the
same time, to see the pulpit supplied
during his absence or until other de-
Nelopments required further action.
Therefore DR.. Gwynne is still oui. pas
tor and we are not under the neces-
sity of seeking another pastor at the
present time.

MONTANA IS The STATE
Others Are All Right in Their
Way, But Stick to Montana,
Mr.. STANTON IN SPOKANE
That City Is Going Right Ahead, But
Great Falls Has All the Re sources
She Has and Many More-The
Edmonton Route.

Great Falls, Jan. 2.-Cfeorge II, Stan
ton, who has just returned to this city
from business trip to Spokane, called
at the Standard Office socially this afs-
efnoon. He was asked a number of
questions in regard to Spokane, and in
reply he said:
Business seems to be rushing there.
Buildings are going up all over the
city, and among them are a number of
residences which will cost anywhere
from $4,000 to $4,000 each, and some
OF them will cost even more MIR. Blake
OF the firm of Blake & Post. ATTORNEYS
is erecting home which will cost the
latter sum when completed and il is
only one OF many. Business blocks
seem to be keeping pace with the resi-
dences, and in general things look like
olo Tunes. outside property which four
years or even as late as a year ago
could not be sold for the encumbrances
on 1t, the owners now refuse to sell at
all or at prices five times as great.
Yes, a ripple of the Klondyke wave
seems TO have struck Spokane. All the
people there talk of is the Spokane
route to Dawson City and they are
pushing it for all it is worth 1t is not
to be compared with the Edmonton
line. but it has enterprise behind it and
is likely to draw a large number of
people just on that account | read the
articles in the Standard on the Edmon-
ton route while / was in Spokane. and I
believe that it is to our interest and to
that of the state to investigate it and
see II we cannot open it up. 1t will do
US no harm and will not cost any
amount of money and may do us ines
Unable good Something should be
done right here and at once
Great Falls is going to be the place

but we have the resources which thew
have and hundred times more and in
the end this place will discount Spo-
kane. In fact. Montana as a state is
way ahead of her sister states, and time
will show it,"
