Twohy Bros, formerly of st. Paul

cost about $1,OOO,OOO. They will be
the most up to date works and refners
of the kind in all the world. l was

Here, like Butte, the A. o. III. is the

magnificent brick block and hall, and
stores of all kinds contained therein
They hold fairs periodically to wipe off

and then sent to the Jesuit order for
a priest. Helena, like Great Falls,
Butte and Anaconda, is now III tile
throes of an eventful political battle.
Now comes Great Falls, and it is no
misnomer. This town is great in
everything, great in having some Of the
very best people l ever met, great in
having falls which are second only to
Niagara, great in having full control OF
the very best portion that have yet
seen of the mighty Missouri. Here is
situated one of the largest smelters in
all Montana, giving employment to
many men; and railroad shops and a
round house. l met John r. Hawley
here. He is one of the shrewdest Bur
lington officials to be found anywhere.
The farming lands or ranches are in
abundance for hundreds of miles about
Great Falls. John McAllister, form
crly of Minneapolis, who used to be in
the undertaking business with Mr..
Gleason, is engaged in the same bust

He is without doubt one of the most
popular men in the big city of Great
Falls, and one Of the finest gentlemen l

making money fast. He is now one Of
the solid men of the city. "Dick" Fitz-

Now comes the prosperous town Of

land this place at least twenty-five feet
higher than what it is. 1 struck Belt

has one Of the best coal mines in this
