Last week Bob She'll was u,doubt-
eily the happiest man in Montana.
His dream of years Of Greater
Garneill, the moving Of the old town
that had served to meet the needs OF
the cowboy and The sheep men before
the advent Of the railroads, down near
er the deDot Of the Milwaukee, road,
and the regeneration Of the town. has
at last been realized.
The lIilger Loan Il Realty COM
pany, has taken over the townsites Of
Garneill, Straw and Moore. The
first sale Of lots at public auction was
that OF the new townsite of Garneill
last Saturday afternoon. Some of
the best boosters Of I.ewistown are
interested in the new tOWnsitp COM
pany. and they were present in large
numbers. and they were very enthui-
astic over the result of the sale OF
lots.
The new toWnsite is located Just
east OF the depot. and is certainly
beautiful site. The old buildings on
the hill will be moved down on the
new lots. She'll Il Erickson will
have good hotel and saloon: the
Montana Lumber company selected a
half block for a lumber yard: w. +.
Dooers will build two business
houses: Gray 4 Mckay will have
livery barn, and other buildings are
contemplated
With the energetic gentlemen who
now own and are pushing New Gar
nei'l. the new town stands a good
show Of taking on new life and cut
ting a wide swatll in the development
OF this section Of the country.
One thing is sure-the event of last
Saturday has put new life and hope
into Bob SHETLAND that:is worth all
the efforts put forth by his legion Of
friends to make the affair the yranl
success it was.
But hear what Bob has to say
about it:
Ganeill, March 3l.-Editor Judith
Gap. Journal: AS Judith Gap and
Gacneiil are situated 80 close togetll-
er, that in a few years they will be
known as the twin cities, we lon't
feel we are asking too muc', to be
represented III your valuable paper.
We noticed your genial countenance
at the sale of town lots in our new
toWnsite last Saturday, and we are
sure you will verify our statement
that New Garneill is destined to be
one of the best towns in the Judith
Basin.
The Hilger Loan X Realty company
sold rs lots on that date. These lots
were sold to Fergus county people,
which shows the faith they have in
Garneill property. When such enter
prising firms us the Montana Hard
ware Co., Power Mercantile Co.
Judith Hardware Co., slough 4 Get
chell OF Stanford invest their none py
in Il toWnsite, it is Il foregona con
clusion that the success Of the toNn
is an assured fact.
The business men and capitalists
OF LeWistoWn have always had IL
warm spot in their hearts for Gar
neill, and the time has now come
when they will back their Judgment
in IL substantial manner.
Now is the time for anyone com
templating going into business to get
bnsy-get in on the ground floor, in
one OF the best towns in the state.
BE it remembered. that Garneill is
surrounded by one of the best farm
! ing and stock countries in the north
west. There are several fine farms To
lease or sell--gralnl opportunities for
the new and enterprsing settler
One of the essentials in making Il
! good town is Il good school. and we
can truthfully say Garneill has one
of the best in the county. We also
boast OF fine church, aud Il splendid
parsonage for the use of our popular
minister and family.
The assessed valuation Of District
i. which is Garneill district, is 5000,
600, and this section is merely in it's
infancy. What will the valuation be
in few yea rs form now.
Now, Mr.. Editor, we don't want to
impose OH you too mucl, to start with
we might want to come back again,
therefore we will conclude by saying:
1t is our conscientious belief there is
no better opportunity for investment
than in Garneill property, or farms
in this district. Newcomers will
make no mistake in visiting Garneill,
and if they are not acquainted when
arriving at the depot, ask for the pro-
prietors of the Garneill hotel. They
are old timers, and we vouch they
