Bodies of Iron Ore.

Cleveland, O., Feb est is stated

Grafton, a deal by which the immense
ly valuable ore properties of James J..
Hill on the Mesaba range are to pass

So Holds.
the COMING ROADS WILL hELP
Building of the Milwaukee Into This
State Will Cause Movement in
This Direction.

P. H. Scanlan, Of Butte, commercial
agent for the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul Railway company, is in the
city, having arrived last evening, and
was a pleasant caller at the Democrat
office this morning. Mr.. Scanlan has
visited this city several times before
this, and says that he always observes
a material change for the better every
trip into the Judith basin. He spoke
entertainingly of the coming develop
ment of Lewistown and the surround
ing country.
Mr.. Scanlan was asked as to the lat
est news concerning the plans of the
Milwaukee Railway company, with
reference to building through Montana,
but stated that he was not in posi-
tion to give out anything definite. The
company is making all preparations to
build up through the state the coming
spring and summer, but the location Of
the road is yet very indefinite. He ex-
pressed it as his opinion, however, that
Lewistown will be connected with the
main line in some manner.

utterly unaware that they were pass
ing through about the best land be-
tween the two oceans. But a change
t.. i,, sd ,,r
summer will see hundreds of new set
tiers coming into Montana, and the
number will double and treble in the
coming years.
I'VE have here everything vast
mines of all sorts which have scarcely
been scratched, great herds and focks
worth millions, and millions of acres
Of as fine agricultural lands as can be
found anywhere in the world. The
few Of us who are here have struggled
along and developed these resources
to the best of our ability, but not un-
til the tens of thousands which are
being crowded out of the eastern
states commence to settle down here
and give us their assistance will we
commence to grow and develop as con-
ditions warrant. The Milwaukee rail-
road company has fair idea of the
possibilities of Montana, and from this
time on will be a very material factor
in the growth and prosperity of the
state.
"Of all the different counties of the
state, Fergus stands right UP at the
head in the matter of natural re-
sources. This fact is just now being
brought to the attention of the world,
and you may expect to see a large
number of settlers and investors COM
ing in here during the next few years.
Your mining, stockgrowing and ranch
ing industries will each be given an
impetus which will make this county
in truth the INLAND Empire of which
you now boast"
Mr.. Scanlan, while here, will visit
the Cumberland mine, near Maiden,
in which eastern friends of his are in
terested.

notions as with individuals, there is a
constant warfare.
And then, again, we have a war;
rare within us-our moral and physi-
cal natures-two opposing principles.
between which there can be no neutral
ground; truth and falseness, right and
wrong, good and evil are continually
at war within US. OF these three con-
filcts, the last is the all important
warfare, that strength Of manhood
which compels us to do what is right
instead Of what is wrong.
Knowing these warfares existed and
exists today, some two score years ago.
a few men of character organized
themselves together in order to op-
pose the wrong side of these conflicts
and this was the beginning of our be-
loved order, whose principles are
friendship, charity and benevolence, an
order that teaches us to Stop our mad
nSht Tor money, to turn aside from the
Iasclnatlons of society, from the peace
and charm of our own fireside, to visit
the homes OF poverty, the abode Of af-
Hlctlon, the chamber of hidden grief:
1t takes us to the bedside of the sick
and dying, to win them back to life or
soothe their passage to the grave. 1t

to assure her by word and by deed
that

phan and shields the fatherless from
the evils and ills of an unfriendlv
world. 1t summons us to the place
where sorrow appears, or the blow of
misfortune has fallen to console the
grief or bind up the wound, and we
honor our late brother in that he had
the character to enroll his name i'm an
organization that is seeking to uplift
mankind. Many brother here assem-
bled could tell of deeds of kindness
bledemanating from the generous
hands of our late brother, Harry
Lemon. We all know where he has
done good" although suffering 70,
years from the dreadful disease, asth-
ma, he was always cheerful, kind
hearted, and never was he knoyn to
refuse needy, Way-worn traveller as
sistance. His life has taught us that
Ihe drying up a single tear has more
or honest fame than shedding seas or
gore'
Therefore, in the true Pythian spir-
1t, let us this day take renewed cour-
age and assist each other in living an
upright and Cody life, full of joy and
generous acts"

PASADENA, Sept. 9-Contractor
Andrew Holloway has everything ready

His asphalt plant finally arrived last
evening after a VeXatious delay, and
will be set up at once on the vacant lot

Property owners along South Fair

asphalt pavement to the south city
limits, and Contractor Holloway will
probably do the work, the whole MAX
ing one of the most important pieces
of street work undertaken this season.
The contractor plans to complete the
west side of the street first in order not
to interfere with traffic only so much
as is necessary as well as to provide a
channel for the storm water should the
rainy season set in before the task is
completed.
A force of men and teams will begin

WILL SETTLE THE QUESTION
Crown City Presbyterians Meet We'd
nesday to Consider Sunday
School Addition
Special to The Heralf.

Special to The Heral1.
PASADENA, Sept. 9.-On Wednesday
evening of the present week some de-
cision will probably be reached by the
First Presbyterian church as to the
contemplated Sunday school addition to
the new church. now building at the
corner of Madison avenue and East
Colorado street.
According to the designs submitted
and upon which bids were asked for
and received the desired addition will
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000. This
amount was so largely in excess of the
money set aside for this work that no
contract for the work was at that time
awarded and the main body of the
church edifice is going up without it.
At the meeting this week a decision
will be reached as to whether the plans
shall be modified and brought down to
the cost counted on from the first or
whether an attempt will be made to
raise the additional funds. Meanwhile
work goes steadily forward on the main
body of the church, for which Mat
thew Slavin has the contract.
BY the terms of the contract the
edifice was to be completed by the first
of next April and on that date the
congregation must surrender the old
church to its new owners, but it is
stated that the building will not be
finished by that day. This will neces-
state the securing of temporary quar-
ters for a short time or the renting
of the old church.

OAT BAGS MARKED "S1OO"
Burglars Rob Bankers Barn and Get
Several Quarts of Grain
in SWag

Special to The Herald.
WINSTED, Conn, Sept. 9.-Jeremiah
Hoven, a Winsted banker, discovered
that burglars had recently robbed his
barn, and somes bags marked as con-
tanning $1,000 each, were carried away.
The bags contained three quarts of oats
each.
Hoven figured out the cause of the
robbery today. He has a summer home
at Highland Lake, and drives back and
forth. He secured a number of old
money bags discarded by local bank,
to carry feed for his horse. The bags
are marked in glittering red letters,
500, $500 and $1,000. He has a dozen
bags. Saturday he drove up to the
Lake. He met two strangers on the
road whose eyes seemed glued on the
glittering dollar marks on his well-filled
sacks of oats. HoVen did not think
anything of it at the time. Now he is
glad they waited until Sunday night to
rob him of the bags in the barn instead
of holding him up for his supposed gold
on the road. He began carrying oats
in gunny sacks today.

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, Sept. 9.-Captain j.
A. Paschall, owner of the fishing boat,
Eagle, has had a second unpleasant en-
counter with a member Of the sunfish
tribe.
A few months ago, while the Eagle
was poking her nose along toward
Whites point. above San Pedro, the
skipper saw a huge sunfish lying near
the surface of the water, close by.
Throwing the gasoliner out of gear,
he slipped quietly alongside.
Selling long spear he had, at the
"crtter." Just then the great fish,
which was fully as large across as the
top of the Eagles cabin swished it's
tail around, striking the spear with
such ferocity that Paschall's wrist was
severely wrenched.
Saturday, while near the same spot,
the fisherman saw another fish, almost
as large.
Again he crept at Brer Sunfish, the
animal shook itself and instead of
hitting squarely the pole struck the
fish's sleek side.
That end of the pole was thrown out
so that the other end swung up against
Captain Paschall's nose, just below
his left eye.
The resulting wound bled profusely
and the skipper's physioghomy is still
swell affair.
Hotel del Coronado rates reasonable.
