BY r. X. PHommedieu

One of the largest automobile real
estate deals which has taken place in
this country for some time was con-
summated recently. when papers were
signed by ]. n. WHY'S. president OF the
Overland automobile company OF IN
dianapolis. and Colonel Albert Pope.
president OF the Pope manufacturing
company of Hartford. Conn. for the
purchase of the mammoth Pope-ToledO
manufacturing plant at Toledo. D.

to be one OF the largest and best
equipped automobile manufacturing
plants in the United States 1t com
prises "a buildings of modern con-
struction. having floor space OF 100000
square feet and covering L acres
With its present factories at In
dianapolis. and the new Pope-ToledO
plant, the Overland automobile COM
pany bids fair TO be one of the largest
manufacturers of motor cars in the
United States. The output of the Over
land concern will be practically un-
limited and the 1910 product viii be
broadened with large range or models
and prices.
In speaking of the new deal. WHY'S
said: The growth OF the Overland
company has been so rapid that we
were forced TO look for larger quarters.
While for many reasons We would have
liked TO have increased our manufac-
turing facilities in Indianapolis, the
Pope Toledo location is the only one
in the market which meets our re-
quirements. When we secured control
OF the Overland automobile company
we Knew that the concern would grow,
but did not expect that IL would en-
large with such rapidity in such a
during the experimental days of the
Overland. ESQ cars were sold During
1908 more than 500 OverIands were
built and delivered. With only three
months of 1909 passed. 1850 cars have
been delivered and today we are 1.500
orders behind. The success OF the
Overland has swept US off our feet and
we were simply forced TO secure larger
quarters The headquarters OF the
concern will remain at Indianapolis

h[W (huR(H DEDICATED
New Congregational Church Dedi.
Gated Sunday With Appro-
pirate Services.

The Dedication services of the new
Congregational church were held on
Sunday last and were attended by
large and interested audiences.
The singing at each of the services
by the large choir under the leader
ship Of Mrs. Dralle was especially
inspiring and greatly appreciated.
The morning sermon was
preached by the Rev. G. J. Powell,
the state superintendent of Home
Mission, aud at the close Sacrament
service was celebrated when
beautiful individual communion
service which was presented to the
church by Mr.. Y. Woodland Of OF
tawa, Ontario, was used for the
first time.
In the afternoon a large audience
was present to hear the dedicatory
serman by the Rev. E. E. Flint Of
Great Falls who preached eloquent
ly from the words, Come with US
and we will do thee good.''
The evening services was crowded
and was important from the stand
point of eloquence and enthusiasm.
Rev. Flint again thrilled the audi
ence with a stirring address and the
Offering for the day was brought to
head with the substantial sum of
$3.50, given and subscribed. Spec
ial praise is due to all who have
helped in the enterprise either by
subscriptions before, or during the
dedication service.
The building committee which
consists OF A. Shaw, G.. r. Cheney,
L. NJ. Law and G. H. Tyler have
done yeoman service and it is thru
their untiring effort that the under
taking has been brought thus far
successfully. The church extends
its thanks to these men and all who
have given of their money and in
terested to make the building possi-
BILE. The contractors, Messrs, Grant
& Hardin, deserve the appreciation
that has been given them for the
thorough and faithful way in which
they have carried out their part in
the work.

JOHNSTON RANCH Is SOLD
J. P. Mayer Of Billings Purchases
1,000.Acre Ranch on Parrot
Creek for $4,000.

Mrs. Kate Edmiston last week
disposed Of her ranch to J. P. Mayer,
a prominent real estate man from
Billings. The ranch which COM
prises 1000 acres, is located on
Parrot Creek about ten miles east
Of here, running up that stream
from where it joins the Musselshell
and including some of the river
bottoms. The consideration was
$15, 100000.
Altho real estate man, Mr..
Mayer, the new owner of this splen-
did ranch, says he has not purchas-
ed the property merely on specula-
tion, but to make it his home. He
will bring his family here from Yak
ina, Wash, where they now reside,
next spring and then make his per-
manent home on the ranch. He is
already planning on stocking the
ranch with thorobred cattle and
horses, to the raising of which he
will devote his main efforts. Mr..
Mayer is highly pleased with his
purchase, and to The Record man
said, that after seeing the property
it took him only fraction of
minute to make up his mind to buy.
Before leaving here last Saturday,
he placed VIM. Thomas in charge
of the ranch for the winter.
Mr.. Mayer is the gentleman who
organized the Washington company
to purchase the old 70 ranch last
spring, in which syndicate he is
still heavily interested. During the
past summer he has been engaged
in retailing parcels OF this tract to
eastern buyers in which he has been
very successful.
Speaking of our city Mr.. Mayer
said that most people, strangers and
even residents, do not grasp the
agricultural possibilities of this
country and the relation this bears
to the future Of Roundup. The set
tlemcnt and development of our
farming lands means much, ii not
more, to Roundup than do its mines.
With both of these industries in
fourishing condition, Mr.. Mayer
said Roundup will be hummer.

|F|Rt DESTROYS WASH H0U5[ATh0.) }
Surface Workings of Roundup Coal
Mining Co. Endangered by Fire
Tuesday Evening.

Fire destroyed the miners wash
house at the Roundup Coal Mining
Co.'s mine here Tuesday evening.
The fire started about 7:45 and
burned for two hours during which
time the entire surface workings Of
the mine were endangered.
The cause Of the fire is unknown
altho it is believed that it was pure
ly accidental.
The wash house was located be-
tween the barn and tipple, and had
there been heavy wind blowing,
it is almost certain that most of the
surface workings and miners cot
tages would have been destroyed.
The evening was calm, however,
and thru the efforts Of citizens and
with the aid Of hose attached to
the mine pump, the fire was kept
under control until it burned itself
out. The destroyed building will
be replaced by new one.
The power plant, which furnishes
Roundup with electric light, shut
down several times during the
evening plunging the city in dark
ness. These shut downs were not
caused by the fire, however, but
were made to allow repairs on the
big Corliss engine.
Thirty-four of the persons who
took examinations under the state
board Of medical examiners passed
and seventeen failed

@. COMMISSIONERS VISIT Us
Will Do Some Work on Roads in
This Section-Melstone to
Have Bridge.

Julius Peterson, chairman Of the
board Of county commissioners, and
Commissioner w. T. Neill, We're in
town Tuesday, having stopped off
here on their way to Melstone where
they are to meet the commissioners
of Yellowstone county to look into
The matter Of building a bridge
across the Musselshell at that place.
While here the opportunity was i'm
proved by the business men to bring
before them the need of better
roads in this section Of the county,
practically nothing having been
done the past year with the view Of
bettering their condition. Altho
several petitions had been sent in
from here nothing was done in the
matter until it seemed that this
section was simply travelling in hard
luck and had to be satisfied with
things the way they came. The
commissioners, however, have pro-
mised to do something, having seen
with their own eyes the imperative
heed, and will no doubt start things
going soon. Among the first things
they will do will be the fixing of the
road between here and the bridge
lat Old Roundup, the widening of
the lane between the Steen and
callahan tracts just north OF the city
and the reducing of the hill at the
head of this lane.
The commissioners left for Mel
{stone Tuesday evening where they
met the Yellowstone county board
Wednesday. The location OF the
Lbrldge at Melstone is very much in
doubt, as three petitions have been
|sent in to the boards Of the coun-
tiles interested asking for as many
different locations. One petition
tasks that the bridge be built at
Milestone, another one asks that
it be located several m e S
&below Milestone at Hoods crossing,
land another wants it at Japan at
the head of Carpenter creek where
several coal mines are being opened,
The commissioners are in guam
diary over the matter and have de-
,ided to investigate thoroly before
going ahead with the building of
THE bridge.

Newspaper Man Says They Want Our
Grain and Agricultural Products
Will Exploit State.

The letter given below received
by The Record from w. S. Jones,
business manager Of the Minneapolis
Journal, one Of the most influential
and enterprising daily papers in the
great northwest, is self-explanatory.
1t is the desire Of The Journal to
take an active part in the settle
ment and development of Montana
which is well within the CONNER
cial zone Of the Twin Cities, and
which will soon bear the same re-
lation to them as that now main
tanned by North and South Dakota.
Montana has already developed to
the point where it is to be seen that
4 grain production beyond the con-
ception Of anyone a few years ago
is near at hand. From this fer
tile country the Minneapolis mills
will draw millions of bushels of
grain.

Dear SIR
The writer accompanied the job
bers' excursion from Minneapolis

pal agricultural sections along the
lines of the Milwaukee and Northern
Pacific Railroad in Montana.
have just returned from the Dry
Farming Congress at Billings, and
| wish to say frankly that ! am
much impressed with the wonder
ful resources of your State. | can,
in a measurs, understand how your
development is retarded by the
part of the Government in opening
up for settlement, lands both sur
veyed and unsurveyed, and how
you are handicapped on account
of the failure of the reclamation
service to complete within a reason
able time irrigation projects con-
templated.
Closer trade relations are much
desired by the jobbers and manu-
facturers of Minneapolis because
we want your grain, fruits and other
agricultural products, and you need
our merchandise. The Journal be.
Iieves that It can take no other more
important subject of interest to
both, than the development of the
State. We have planned to pub
lish articles regarding the resources
of Montana, and the opportunity
offered for settlement and develop
ment. We shall send you regularly
proofs OF these articles as they
appear, and you are at liberty to
make such reference to them as you
think best. We shall be glad to
receive information and suggestions
at any time which will serve as a
base for these articles.
Yours truly,
