SAM JONES, REVIVALIST, DEAD.
Famous Fighting Preacher Who Was
/ Feared by Liquor Rings.

Little Rock, Ark.-When porter
went to a berth occupied by the Rev.
Sam Jones, the revivalist, in the
sleeper of train running to Memphis
on the Oklahoma, Choctaw and Gulf
Line, to awaken him. he found the
famous preacher dead. A physician
said the reyivalist probably died
about 4 o'clock in the morning. II
so, the first day Of Jones siXtierh
year was his last. He was fifty-nine
years old. The evangelist's health
long had been so poor that almost
any severe attack of heart or stomach
trouble would be likely to carry him
off suddenly. Friends in this city
took charge of the body temporarily,
pending instructions from the preach
er's home in Gainesville, Ga.

sed at that place. They are also count
ing on substantial future benefits.
The Tribune, in a recent issue, takes
the following hopeful view of it:
1.-THE road itself will open up to
quick settlement a large amount OF
land of the first quality between this
city and the Judith basin that up to
this time has been idle or only slight
" productive as pasture land. Much
of this land has been proved to be
capable of producing great crops OF
grain. What this land can do Is prov
ed by the record of experienced grain
farmers in the Judith who have TAX
en- similar land and made it produc-
tive and valuable. In the last few
years this land doubled several times
in value. There is much of this land
yet in the hands Of the government
and open to settlement, and there Is
more of the choicest of it that has
been acquired by private parties. Ev-
en- that fact will not retard for long
it's settlement. for it will increase in
value to such an extent that it can
not be economically used by it's own
ers, except by dividing the large
tracts they own into small holdings
to be disposed of to farmers who will
cultivate every acre of it and Incl
dentally make citizen home builders.
The new road giving Great
Falls an outlet to the south will add
verify largely to the stretch OF coun-
try within the sphere Of Great Falls
commercial grasp. Our wide-awake
business men should be quick to
seize the golden opportunities pre-
sented."
When the Great Northern is com
pleted Great Falls will be the near
est city of importance to the Judith
basin. and the time is not far dis
tant when there will be lively COM
petition for the business of this reg
ion on the part of the railroads. The
advantages W lHe HoilH, CID. ""o
west will be about equally divided
on freight and passenger business
The larger portion of the travel to
the state capital and western points
will be via Great Falls unless oul
present facilities for travel are great
ly improved. which they undoubtedly
will be under the control of the Mil
waukee & St. Paul.
| The citizens of Great Falls can wei
feel elated over the outlook ahead fOl
their city, which has met with somt
discouragements in the past few years

MINNESOTA RAILROAD COMMITS.
SION GETS BUSY.

We believe that the most of the
states have railroad commission.
The fact that they are not always
busily employed in jumping on to the
railroads does not prove that their
presence and power to act is not
serving good purpose. The mere
existence of such commission will
tend to serve as a check against ex.
tortionate rates.
Minnesota has railroad commits.

; ing the requirements Of the law.
The Minnesota commission is now
engaged in adjusting rates on merch-
andise within the state and the protest
made by an official of the Great Nor
thern road leads to some comments
by the Minneapolis Journal which will
be of interest to Montana shippers.
Mr. X. |. Harrington testified that the
railroad commissions schedule would
make the rate from Minneapolis to
East Grand Forks lower. according
to the distance. than the rate is from
Minneapolis to points in Montana.
Taking up this contention, the Jour-
nal says:
This was adduced as an argument
to show that the proposed schedule is
too low. Doesn't it indicate, rather,
that the rates to Montana points are
too high? The rates in question are
on business that does not need any
fostering. The merchandise that is
shipped to Montana has to go, no mat.
ter what the rate is. The rate is any.
thing the railroads conclude to ask.
since there is no competition for the
business anywhere along the line

LEWISTOWN, MONT, April 10, 1906
THE MEETING TONIGHT.

The meeting called for this evening
at the court house to consider the
question of city improvement should
be largely attended. A number OF,
cities in the state have organized civ
ic clubs of various and significant
names for the purpose of improving
and beautifying the homes and the
public streets and the securing OF
better sanitary conditions.
There is great need of something
being done along these lines in Lew
istown. Doubtless it is a little early
TO commence general cleaning OF
the city. but the work should be in
augurated as soon as the frost is out
of the ground. The streets and al
legs, particularly the latter are in
frightful condition and will need ear
ly attention. And the ordinance
should be strictly and impartially en-
forced upon all. The city marshal has
plenty of leisure time to see that the
work is done properly.
While great deal can be done in
the way OF improving the streets and
alleys at public expense. too much
should not be attempted or expected
at this time in bOulevarding, and in
beautifying residence property, as a
good many would be unable to meet
the outlay of money that would be
required. But all would be willing to
do a little something and the aggre
gate would count for much in the
better appearance of the city as a
whole
What is needed in I.ewistown is an
enroused public interest in the mat
ter Of sanitation and cleanliness
something like that which culminat
ed in a general clean up in Spokane
a few days since. March 31st beins
designated as arbOr day by the may
