HIS FAITH
IS JUSTIFIED
Henry D. Moore. One of Builders of
Montana Railroad, Pays Visit to
Lewistown.
PRAISES Judith BASIN
Big Philadelphia Financier Pro-
nounces This One of the Worlds
Garden Spots.

Accompanied by Richard A. Harlow.
Henry d. Moore, OF Philadelphia, paid
Lewistown a delightful visit the mid
die OF last week. Mr.. Moore is the
man who, together with Mr.. Harlow.
provided the funds for the construc-
ton OF the Montana Railroad. When
not another financier in the country
was found who would take hold OF the
project, this far-sighted Pennsylvania
came to the aid of the intrepid young
Montana railroad builder and put up
hundreds of thousands of dollars for
the completion of the road from Har-
lowton into Lewistown.
His Faith Fully Justified.
Like Mr.. Harlow, Mr.. Moore be.
lieved that .the day was not far dis
tant when the Judith Basin would
come into her own as great agri-
cultural region. A station in the
center of some of the richest country
traversed by the new road was named
tor him. The eastern capitalist came
back last week to see the town named
tor him grown into prosperous.
thriving city of one thousand people
and the county of Fergus more than
justifying his predictions of seven
years ago.
81 always felt that the Judith
Basin would, some day, come into her
own as the finest section of This great
state" said Mr.. Moore to the editor
of the Democrat, "and I am naturally
gratifed to see my judgment so quick
ly vindicated. Naturally, too, I am
somewhat partial to the pretty little
city of Moore out there on the bench
but must say that I never saw a city
the size OF Lewistown more substan-
TALLY built nor one with a brighter
future"
The Democrat is reliably informed
that while here, Mr.. Moore became
interested with R. A. Harlow in the
purchase of fifteen hundred acres of
land comprising a portion of the
Branger tract acquired about a year
ago by the HilRer Loan & Realty
Company.

Grand Lodge Sessions. :.
Both orders were busy in grand
lodge sessions Tuesday and Wednes-
day. Reports read show that both
orders are in hourishing condition.
Two Pythian lodges have been or

Roundup and the other at Whitefsh.
The order has shown a steady growth
in membership and is in splendid con-
dition, financially, in this state.

Marriage at Court House,

A more or less notable wedding
ceremony was performed this after
noon by Judge Cheadle in his office
at the court house, when the hands,
hearts and fortunes fair of Owen J.,
better known as "Whisker" Davis,
and Miss Alexina M. Kelsey, both
distinguished residents of the popu-
lous city of Roy, were joined for bet
ter or worse, fair whether Or foul,
forever and eye-maybe. A large and
enthusiastic concourse, crowd, bunch,
or gang of friends witnessed the cere-
mony which will be remembered as
the most popular society event wit
messed at the new court house since
that building was dedicated. John B.
Ritch and Ed Martin, who work about
the place, wanted to draw lots to de-
termine which of them should first
salute the bride in the usual oscula-
tory manner but the groom decided
that he himself would take care of
that particular part of the ceremony.
Following the wedding, Frank Ste
phens took the happy wedding party
for an automobile ride through the
city. A new and novel wrinkle-that
is feature-in connection with this
honeymoon trip was the sudden and
prearranged appearance of gang of
gentlemen friends who followed the
auto and literally sprinkled them with
rice. Frank Stephens arranged this
feature and as he is known to be fond
OF rice and as his automobile was half
filed with the Oriental dainty, it is
surmised that he had an uheriar OBJ
ject on making such arrangements.
Mr.. and Mrs. Davis. will make their
home at Roy. Requescant in pace.

BURIED YESTERDAY
WELL KNOWN YOUNG MAN
PASSES AWAY AFTER LONG
ILLNESS.

Micky O'Braun, one of the best
known young men of this city, died
at his home in the northern part OF
the city Saturday morning at
o'clock. Death resulted from a long
attack of typhoid fever and was not
unexpected by his family and friends
as he had been very low for several
days prior to passing away.
Buried Yesterday Morning.
The decedent was buried yesterday
morning in the Catholic cemetery, the
funeral services having been held from
the Catholic church. A large number
of members of the Eagles lodge, of
which the decedent was formerly a
member, and friends followed the re-
mains to their last resting place.
Biographical Sketch.

Nebraska, March l, 1882, being u
years of age at the time of his death.
When 10 years of age he left home
and spent a year in the western part
OF Nebraska, after which he moved to
Wyoming where he spent few years.
He came to Fergus county six years
ago and for nearly four years, rode
the range for the N-Bar and Ste
phens outfits. He moved to Lewis
town two and a half years ago and
this city continued to be his home

WILL GET BUSY
With CEMENT WALKS

AS result of the vigorous protests
of citizens and the members of the
city administration. including Engi-
ner Wasmansdorff, it is understood
that Green & Smith, the contractors
who have the contract for the cement
walk work in the court house inn
provement district. will get busy at
once and provide temporary walks un-
til they can secure the material nee
essary to go ahead with the walk con-
struction. The situation is one which
certainly demands some sort of
action on the part of somebody.

In 1903, Erickson, Dane. headed an

Cooks Message.

New York. Sept Successful.
Well. Address Copenhagen.
tSigned) FIRED"
Full of meaning If "successful' is
interpreted to indicate that he reached
the North Pole the foregoing cable
cable message. exasperatipg in it's
briefness was received in New York
today from Dr. Frederick A. Cook, the
American explorer, whom the latest
cable advices tonight credit with hav-
ing accomplished what no man ever
did before The message was sent not
to any scientific society nor to any of
his associates interested in his expe5i-
ton. but to his wife, who has been
counting the days and hours and pray
ing for his safety since his departure
from this city July 4. 1907.
But, by chance, Mrs. Cook was not
at her Brooklyn home, but spending
the summer at Harpswell. Me SO the
dispatch was received by DIR. r. r.
Davidson, a friend of the explorer, who
made its contents known, and then
flashed the good news on to Mrs. Cook
Brief as it was, it is the first news
that she has had from her intrepid
husband since March II, 1908, when he
wrote from Cape Hubbard, on the edge
of the Polar ice sea on the northwest
side of Ellcsmore land. At that time
he instructed his companion, Rudolph
FRANKIE, then stationed at Etah. Green
land, with supplies, to wait there until
June Fer his return, but in the event
of DR.. Cooks failure, to proceed to
America. FRANKIE waited as directed but
as DR. Cook failed to come back, he
caught the Peary auxiliary ship and
reached New York last fall. Since that
time DR.. Cooks whereabouts have been
a mystery. although members of the
Arctic Club in the city, viewing the
situation enthusiastically, We're inclined
to think that he had reached the pole
despite his long silence.

And Built by the Famous Bath

Average Of Five Top Speed Runs
Figures 32.7.

RoclSland, Me-, Sept. IA record of
three knots faster than that of any
ship in the United States navy was
scored today by the Bath-built tor
pcdo boat destroyer Flusser in a
standardization trial, the first of her
official acceptance trials on the Rock
land mile course. Her fastest mile
was made at the rate of 1877 knots an
hour, while another was at the rate
of 1874 knots. The average of her five
top speed runs was 1921 knots.
The British destroyer Swift has q
record of nearly 81 knots, but she was
designed for that speed and is an 1900
ton ship, while the Flusser has a dis
placement of only 200 tons and was
built only for a 2S-knot speed
President John S. Hyde of the Bath
Iron Works, the contractors, said he
was very proud of the result and feels
that his firm has set mark that will
not soon be eQualled by any other yard.
The Bath Iron Works also have credit
for the fastest battleship, the Georgia,
whose mark is 1925 knots, and the
fastest scout cruiser, the Chester,
whose record is 1852 knots.
AS fog set in so thick they could not
see the marks, the Goth run was omit
