Unknown interests are quietly buying
up the land in Minneapolis from Second

tween Second street and the alley be-
tween Second street and Washington ave-
nue., and it is generally supposed that the
same people are interested in the land
that is now being acquired. 1t Is rumored
that the 500 intends to build tracks of
Its cwn all the way into the city parallel
to the Northern Pacific tracks and
that it intends to eventually run clear
down to Bridge square and erect there
handsome passenger terminal.

and the throngs of people upon their
way to midnight mass. This service is
of course the same the world over but
the splendOr and magniticence of the
affairs, the grandeur and beauty of the
mural decorations, the glorious and
solemn music from 200 male voices, ac-
companied by an orchestra of SO pieces,
surpassed any service I had ever at
tended, and it was truly an edifying
sight to witness these deVout souls
humbly kneeling for hours upon the
stone floor, praising and clarifying God.
II was not without it's amusing features,
too. So strong is the spirit of chance
imbued in the Filipino character that
it is a common sight at all services
and even at this solemn hour to see the
native children and years of age in
one corner of the church gambling for
snails which they pick from their shells
and devour with great relish.
THE New Year is even more honored
than Christ's natal day, and l doubt
but for the foreigners and the German
French and English merchants, who
decree that their places of business be
closed from Christmas eve till the day
following, whether any observance
would be made of our chief holiday.

Great Falls Dec. 1.-THE following
spent by the Montana regiment in the
Philippines a year ago is written for
the Standard by DR.. F. j. Adams of
Great Falls, late major of the regi-
ment:
Upon Christmas morning, 1898, the
list Montana regiment was aroused
from it's sleep--not by the usual pierc-
ing bugle call, but by the softer tones
of the band as it played a hymn of
praise to God, calling all men of good
will to arise and glorify His holy name
We We're in peaceful possession of fair
ly comfortable quarters in the district
of San Miguel, Binondo, or New Ma
Mia, as the commercial city is called
to distinguish it from it's now famous
and celebrated namesake, the Walled
City, which is the home of the civil and
military government. There was moth
ing in the climatic condition to indi-
cate that the time of this great festi-
val had arrived, nothing that could sug-
gest even a green Christmas in Mon
tana to the home-longing boys. The
streets were deserted, the shop VIM
dows unadorned and the natives ap-
parently Indifferent. For with them
Christmas is much the same as any
other church festival, of which there
are many during the year.
I'VE would not have observed that
it differed from any other day, had it
not been for the parading of bands Of
reed instruments upon Christmas eve

found also that the most practicable
point of egress from the valley was lne
southwestern corner. Further again
they found that almost straight route
through the valley We're possible ana
advisable. So they made their report
to headquarters that the road should
cross the Flathead river east Of Bad
Rock canyon, and pass through the val
lev by a direct route, over the hlShcf
ground four or five miles north OF
where Kalispell now is. tbs PROPOSE
ton, however, was later abandoned,
and the road clung to the lower levels.
Therefore it might have been that Kal-
spell instead of heing where it now is,
would have been some miles further
north.
The people of Demcrsville heard Of
the conclusions of the engineers, and
at once set to work to induce the Great
Northern to adopt a route which would
include Demersville They pointed out
to the railroad company that instead OF
bridging the Flathead east of Bad Rock
canyon, a more practicable crossing
could be had at a point about half
mile above DemersVile. Everything
that could be done was done to bring
the railroad people to a realization of
the advantages which would accrue
from keeping to the south side of the
river; but it was not to be.
So the city of Kalispell was plated,
and then, in 1892, began the procession
from Demersville to the new F'lathead
metropolis. two and a half miles away.
Houses were put on wheels and hauled
bodily to Kalispell, where they stand
to-day.
Some days" said gentleman OF
kalispell recently. you could see as
many as half a dozen buildings on the
road. 1t didn't take long to move old

| Some people in Kalispell who former
ly lived at Demersville say that there

! are others who say that thGse VINO
owned the ground at DemersVille that
the railroad wanted for yards ana sta-
| ton purposes held it at unfeasonap PIE
| figures Again, there are others WAo
say that the real reason why the fal-
/ road didn't go via DemersViile was pc
cause Mr. Hill was afraid oil competl-

| At any rate the railroad didn't go

ground for regret that it is as it is.
