Possible From Both Ends and

E. w. McKenna, second vice presi-
dent of the Milwaukee road, contra
diets the rumor that his company is
buying control of the Kansas City
Southern. OF the western construc-
ton Of the Milwaukee road he said:
"The construction of the road will
be pushed with the greatest vigor
from now on. 1t will go on at several
points right through the winter. We
will build from both ends and from
the middle in both directions, and the
work will be so arranged that the var
ious sections will all be finished rbouf
the same time. Our present eaIcu1a-
tion Is to have the road completed
throughout it's entire length in three
years from this fall. The cost of con-
struction will be about 1000 a mile,
and as 1,5O0 miles are to be built. the
total cost will be $6O0OO, 900 approxi-
mately.
The route has not been definitely
located. So | cannot describe it par
tcularly. Speaking generally, we will
build west from Chamberlain and
from EVarts. S. d. Construction work
is gong on now and in the state of
Washington will be pushed along

There is no question about it, that
this will be one of the brightest, best,
and cleanest entertainments and pos
sibly the most laughable, being full Of
mirth from beginning to end, that has
ever been pulled off locally. The pro-

r. f Warren, Formerly With the
Bank of Fergus County, Goes
Fast After the Fixtures.
START IN EARLY SPRING
Institution Will Have Capitalization
Of $5O,OO0--Well Known Men
Are Interested.

It Is now practically assured that
Gilt Edge will have a bank. 1t has
been known for several weeks that a
movement was on foot for the organ
ization of a banking institution in the
camp but it was not until last week
that all arrangements were made for
the new bank.
r. F. Warren stopped in this city
last week to attend the big gun club
shoot by the Lewistown Rod and Gun
club and left Thursday for the east to
purchase the fixtures for the new
bank. To the Democrat he stated that
bank with a capitalization of $50.
600 has practically been organized, a
large block of the stock having been
subscribed. During Mr. Warren's al
sence in the east, Mr.. p. !. Weydert,
who will be heavily interestd in the
entrprise, will complete all other pre-
liminary arrangements.
Mr.. Warren expects to return to
Gilt Edge about the 18th of March and
it is expected that all of the fixtures
will have been installed by that time
and the new institution made ready to
open it's doors. The bank will be To-
Gated on the corner recently owned by
Vincent Caraway which, being in the
center Of the town, is we'll adapted for
the purpose of the bank.
Mr.. Warren, who has been lagel..
instrumental in getting the organiza-
tion of the bank started and so far
along toward completion, is we'll
known in Lewistown having held re-
sponsible position with the Bank of
Fergus County for several months.
Latterly he has held the position of
bookkeeper for the Gold Reef Mining
company. He is a wide awake young
business man and as he has associated
with him number of most RESPONSE
BILE men of the county, living in and
around Gilt Edge, it certainly looks
as If the venture will prove an entire
success from the start

Magnificent tditiCe Which Has Cost
Many Thousands of Dollars Is
Now Practically Paid For.
WORK OF LOYAL CONGREGATION
Open Hearted Generosity Seldom
tquaIlnd In Small Town, Mani
tested Sunday and Monday.

Thanks to the open hearted generos-
ity such as is seldom seen in a small
city, the elegant new M. E. church Of
this city is now practically free Of
debt. A two days service, Sunday and
Monday, during which the pastor, the
Rev. w. A. Winters, most ably assist
ed by the Revs. w. w. Van Orsdel,
DR.. T. c. Iliff. Krieger. Rosen, Sheldon
and Craven, worked without ceasing.
was held and at Its conclusion last
night, the last dollar Of the Indebted
ness had been taken care OF and a
task which, at first appeared almost
impossible of accomplishment had
been completed.
Actual construction work on the nj.
p. church was begun about two years
ago. The plans were drawn on lib
eral scale and some rather doubted
the ability of the congregation to err
ect such a structure, but others, more
confident in their faith of the ultimate
out as 1t should In the long run.
AS completed and furnished, the
church cost over $4,000 and many
ministers have declared 1t the finest
church building in the state of Mon
tana. At times work had rather drag
ged on the building but there was
one workman who was always busy
either outside or in the building That
man is the Rev. Winters who preach
ed on Sunday and used the carpen-
ter's hammer during the week days.
He insistently, out of season and in
season, urged new and larger contri
buttons for the building committee
and himself contributed every spare
cent that he could take from his sal
airy toward achieving this, the am
bition of his soul Every member of
the congregation assisted him to the
extent of their means and many who
affiliate with other churches gave ma
terial assistance in the great work.
It was indeed a happy moment in
the life of the devoted pastor of the
church when, between the hours Of
eleven and twelve o'clock last even
ing, the last dollar necessary to pay
the debt was pledged. By such men as
he are great things accomplished in
this world and he is deserving of the
fond appreciation in which he is held
by the people Of this city.

GREAT FALLS
EDUCATOR HERE
Superintendent S. D. Larbent Of the
City Schools Spends a Day in
eWjStOwn.

Prof. S. D. Largent, for the past
fourteen years superintendent of the
Great Falls public schools and one of
the best known educators in the west,
spent last Friday in Lewistown, the
Guest of w. S. Smith, the popular at
torney. Mr.. Largent and Mr.. Smith
are old friends and it was chiefly for
the purpose of seeing his Lewistown
friend that the Great Falls educator
came to the city.
Will he is wrapped up in his school
work, Mr.. Largent has kept in close
touch with Fergus county affairs and
spoke most entertainingly of his i'm
pressions of the Judith Basin to the
editor of the Democrat.
IT have long had great desire to
see this great inland commonwealth, :"
said Mr.. Largent, and as l was in
Helena, I could not resist the tempta-
ton to run over to pay a visit to my
friend Smith and at the same time see
a country about which there is now
probably as much comment through
out the state as any other place in
Montana.
I'VE of Great Falls have a most
neighborly feeling for Lewistown. The
fact that nothing but a stage line has
connected the two towns has undoubt-
edly prevented the intimacy of busi-
ness and social relations that both de-
sire. But it now begins to look as if
the long desired railroad connection
Is about to be realized, after which I
am sure we will know and appreciate
each other better.
The people of Great Falls are
banking strongly on the coming of at
least one and perhaps two great
transcontinental roads which will
pass through this wonderfully fertile
and resourceful country There is no
doubt in our minds that there will be
road through here within year
ana the chances are now bright for
more than one road.
Great Falls is. very good just now.
Our great enterprise, the smelter, is
running at its fullest capacity and we
nave grown to feel that it is now a
permanent thing with very remote
chahces of any disastrous shut downs
Fergus County Democrat. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1904-1919, 1905-12-05

But what is most gratifying to all
who live there is the rapid deyelop-
ment of the agricultural resources Of
tne country contiguous to the Falls.
rms, we realize, is what we must
eventually depend upon to make our
town grow and prosper steadily"
Mr.. Largent left Saturday morning
for Helena where he attended a meet
ing of the state board of education af-
ter which he returned to his home
