CONTRACT is LET.
Utah Company Will Grade Fergus
County Railroad.

Richard A. Harlow, vice president
of the Montana railway, announced
this afternoon that contracts had been
let for the construction Of the grade
of the proposed Lewistown extension
and also for the steel required for the
read, says the Helena Herald.
The Utah Construction company of
Ogden will do the grading. w. H.
Watts, vice president of the Utah
company, has gone to Ogden to super
intend the loading of teams and grad
ing outfits, fer it is the intention of
the Company to push work Immediate
ly. The company is under contract to
complete the grade by July 1.
4 Mr.. Harlow stated this afternoon
that the company expected to have
the road completed next July. The
contract for rails has been let to the
United States Steel company, and the
steel will be delivered as required.
There will be about 5000 tons of rails
alone. The grading company has
agreed not to Interfere with the rail
LAYING, which will be pushed about as
rapidly as the grade is extended.
The extension of the Montana road
from Harlowton to Lewistown will be
e3 miles long. 1t traverses a portion
of country that offers no unusual OBJ
stacies, and for that reason the COM
pany that has the contract for the
grading expects to push the work very
rapidly. The company is a large con-
Germ and has a full equipment, which
will be shipped to Montana at once.

ARE REVIEWED BY DEWEY

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE sunshine
which ushered in the opening of the
G. A. r. encampment yesterday was
succeeded today by cloudy weather.
But the change had no effect on the
spirits of the vast crowds which ear
ly swarmed into the banner decked
streets and hurried to Pennsylvania
avenue to take their places for the
big naval parade which was to be
the chief event of the morning. 1t
was estimated that over 100, 900 Wis
tiers were in the city.
The parade was under the command
of General Haywood, commandant of
the marine corps, as marshal of the
day, and consisted OF all the regular
troops located in and about Wash
ington; marines and jackies from the
warships, the District OF Columbia
national guard, the Spanish war vet
Grams, Sons Of Veterans, high school
cadets and the Association of ex-Pris-
oners of War, acting as escorts for
the naval veterans.
The column started at 10 O'clock
and marched through the densely
packed streets to the accompaniment
Of almost continuous cheering, to the
reviewing stand opposite the white
house, where the escorting bodies
halted and formed to review the naval
veterans. About As naval veterans
associations took part. Even while
the parade was in progress the reun-
ions of some of the army corps were
taking place in the tented city on
the white house lot.
The parade was reviewed from the
stand in front Of the white house by
Admiral Dewey and Commander Tor
rance. With them were Secretaries
Moody and Root, Admiral Taylor and
most of the members of the diplo-
matte corps now in the city. Admir-
al Dewey was in full uniform. 7
The afternoon was devoted almost
entirely to reunions and receptions.
From 8 to 5 p. M. Commissioner OF
Pensions Ware held a reception at
the pension Office. Tonight the big
"dog watch" of the naval veterans
and other reunions will be held at
Camp Roosevelt.

The Presidents Greeting.

At its conclusion President Roosevelt
stepped to the front of the platform and ex-
tended a generous welcome to the French
guests.
The President spoke as follows:
Mr.. Ambassador and you, the represen-
tatives Of the mighty republic of France:
Il extend to you on behalf of the people
of the United States the warmest and most
cordial greeting We appreciate to the full
all that is implied in this embassy, COM
posed of such men as those who have been
sent over here by President Loubet to COM
memorate the unveiling of the statue of
the great marshal who with the soldiers
and sailors of France, struck the decisive
blow in the war which started this country
on the path of independence among the
nations of the earth (Applause) / am
sure that l give utterance to the sent inents
of every citizen of the United States of
every American to whom the honor and the
glory Of our republic in the past as in the
present, are dear, when 1 say that we prize
this fresh proof of the friendship Of the
French people, not only because it is neces-
sarily pleasing to US to have the friendship
of a nation so mighty in war and so mighty
in peace as France has ever shown herself
to be, but because it is peculiarly pleasant
to feel that, after a century and quarter
of independent existence as a nation the
French republic should feel that in that
century and a quarter We have justified
the sacrifices France made on our behalf.
Applause)
Il am sure, my fellow citizens, that YOU
welcome the chance which brings it about
that this embassy of the French people
should come to our shores at the very time
when we, in our turn, have done our part
in starting on the path of independence
sister republic-the republic of Cuba (Ap-
plause.)
Mr.. Ambassador, the American people,
peculiarly because they are the American
people, and because the history of the
! United States. has been SO interviewer with
what France has done for us; also because
they are proud of the whole world which
acknowledges and must ever acknowledge
in peculiar degree the headship of France
along so many lines in the march of pro-
gress and civliZation-the American people
through me, extend their thanks to you
and in their name l beg to express my ac-
acknowledgements to the embassy that has
come here and to President Loubet and all
of the French nation, both for the deed
and for the magnanimous spirit that laid
behind the doing of the deed and thank
you" cloud applause)
