One of the largest single ranch deals
closed up in Montana this year was
put through by Austin w. War; this
week when he sold to Dudley N. HART,
Boston capitalist, the we'll known
Godfrey ranch of $4,000 acres, situated
near Two Dot. Mr.. HART will con-
duct the property as sheep ranch,
and associated with him will be Otis
Godfrey, who will have direct charge
of the enterprise. The price paid by
the Boston man for the ranch is not
made public, but it was, of course, a
very large sum, as the property is a
desirable one. Other real estate deals

MARKED GAIN in
BANK DEPOSITS
Increase of $4OO, 900 as Compared With Last Year
Changes at Bank of Fergus County.-Im-
mense Ranch is Sold Business Notes.

According to close estimates, the
combined deposits in the two banks
of Lewistown now aggregate about
$1,S00.00O, which is a gain of approx
imately 100000 over last year. This
is one Of the many indications of bus
mess conditions in this county, and it
may be said that all lines of business
and industry are prospering. The in
duence of the railway building now
going on in Fergus county has scarce
ly been felt as yet, because the opera
tions are just getting out of the pre-
liminary stages, but next year this will
prove an important factor in stimu-
lating general development. and 1902
ought to be record breaker for Lew
istown and the entire county.
Bank Of Fergus County Changes.
A change of considerable interest
went into effect at the Bank of Fergus
County Monday morning, when Austin
w. War; succeeded Frank e. Wright
as cashier, and the latter took the
place of vice president, left vacant by
the retirement of l.. w. Eldridge. Mr.
Wright has not been enjoying good
health for some time and over year
ago he spent some months in south
ern California, returning home much
improved. The oner0ns and conflning
duties Of cashier told upon him, how
ever, and he decided to retire from
that position. He has been with the
Bank Of Fergus County since it was
first organized, having been a mem
ber of the original board of directors.
He succeeded Mr.. Erickson as assist
ant cashier many years ago, and on
the death of j. H. Moe took the lat
ter's place as cashier. Mr.. Wright is
one of the best known men in Fergus,
and has contributed as much to the
upbuilding of the county as any man
in it. His friends all over this Sec
tion hope that with the relaxation he
will enjoy from business cares he will
soon be fully restored to health.
Austin w. War;, the new cashier
will not find any of the duties new to
him. He became connected with the
Bank Of Fergus County in the spring
of 1898, and has been continuously
with the institution until a few months
ago. For many years he has been as
sistant cashier, and during the alb
sence of Mr. Wright in California was
acting cashier. Recently he resigned
his old position and became associat-
ed with some Montana and Seattle
capitalists in plan to establish a
Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1906-09-14

bank at Seattle. The difficulty ex-
perienced in securing a suitable site
delayed the plan and discouraged the
promoters somewhat, and when Mr..
War; was selected last Saturday to fill
the place left vacant by the retirement
of Mr.. Wright he concluded to accept.
Mr.. War; is business man and finan-
cier without q peer in the state, and
his ability is widely recognized.

launching In Congress.

Visitors in Washington nearly always
call upon the congressman from their
district, and the latter, If of hospitable
turn, frequently invites them to lunch
con In the congress restaurant, a
privilege highly priced by the average
visitor. Once number of women call
ed upon a wealthy congressman and
were duly invited to have luncheon
with him, which they promptly and
gladly accepted, and when seated pro-
ceeded to order a luncheon substantial
enough for day laborers. When the
check for the luncheon was handed to
the congressman and he handed a bill
for the amount to the waiter, one of the
women remarked that she thought con-
gressmen did not have to pay for their
meals there or she would not have or
dered so much. The congressman, says
the narrator, explained that paying for
luncheons was one of the pleasant priv
ileges which were still permitted to the
congressman by an indulgent govern
ment and that it was one which they
especially enjoyed. "And visitors hel
Us enjoy it, too" he added.-BaltimoI

SHUTTING OUT THE SEA.
The Massive Sea Wall That Stretches
Around Galveston.


Stretching around the eastern limits
and continuing entirely along the south
ern side of Galveston is its massive
sea wall, standing as an impregnable
defense and an insurmOuntable barrier
against even the greatest storm ever
known to have occurred in the gulf,
says q writer in Marine Review. This
wall symbolizes in its firm construc-
xion on q solid foundation not only the
absolute future safety Of the city, but
ilso that unwavering confidence and
mistaken belief of Galvestonians in
this location as the supreme harbor Of
the star empire and the gateway for
the vast and limitless resources Of the
great southwest. The city sea wall was
begun Oct. 81, 1902, and the work was
completed July %, 1904, having been
carried to Il successful conclusion in
three months less than the contracted
time, which, considering the magnitude
of the undertaking, is noteworthy. AS
an extension Of the sea wall around the
city Of Galveston, the United States
government appropriated 1901 600 to
build about one mile more of wall
along the beach in front of Fort Crock
EFT and the federal reserve adjoining
the city on the west. The total length
of the sea wall is about four and half
miles. 1t is sixteen feet wide at base
curving to five feet in width at the
top, being seventeen feet above mean
low tide and one foot higher than in
the 1900 storm.

the execution Of Former Lieutenant
