Grim Transferred to Missoula.

D. A. Grim, who has so efficiently
served as the station agent for the
Milwaukee in this city for the last four
years, last week received orders to re-
port at Missoula to take charge of the
station at that place just as quickly
as he can close up his accounts here.
The change is in the nature of pro-
motion, carrying as it does nice ad-
vance in salary, but Mr.. Grim, never
theless, regrets leaving this city where
he has many friends and where he
hoped to establish his permanent
home. The business men of Lewis
town will also hear of the transfer of
Agent Grim with regret, as his unfail-
ing courtesy and ever obliging con-
duct of the affairs of the position have
won for him the high esteem of all
with whom he had any business deal
ings. 1t is likely that man from
Anaconda will succeed Mr.. Grim at
this place.

Donald Mcintosh Big Milwaukee Contractor, Makes Official
Through The Democrat of the Plans of His CopnyW Have Num-
Outfits Working Out of Great Falls Milestone and Two Ways
From Branch Line Into Kendall Country Will Be
Pushed-James J. Hill Tells of His Roads Intentions

as to the time which he has set for
ner in which his outfit is lining up
surely indicate that the work is to
be pushed ahead rapidly.
Outfit Begun to Arrive.
Up to the time of going to press,
eight carloads of graders and other
construction tools have arrived in the
city. A big warehouse is now being
constructed near the depot and before
the end of the week it will be full.
The first work will be just east of this
city while another outfit which is be-
ing assembled at Melstone will get
busy down that way very shortly.
Build to Kendall Country.
A big surveying party is now To-
Gated near Warm Springs Creek and
will, while out there, run line up
into the Kendall country. The Ken
dali line, it is we'll known, will be the
first completed, while work is being
done, at the same time, on the main
Milestone via Lewistown-Great Falls
line.
Hill Makes Announcement.
Developme have certainly been
coming thick and fast in local railroad
circles during the past week. Where
as, there was certain amount of
speculation one week ago as to
whether Lewistown is to get even one
railroad or not, it is now an absolute
certainty that this city will get two
main lines and at least one branch
line.
Last Saturday afternoon, in Helena,
James J. Hill, Of the Great Northern,
said:
The largest construction we have in
mind for the present year is the
building of line from Hauck's Siding
On the Billings-Northern to Mondak." i"
This line will pass through Lewis
Fergus County Democrat. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1904-1919, 1910-05-10

town. 4. bunch OF Great Northern
surveyors are now working within the
city limits and, last Thursday eve
ming, the Great Northern filed CON
demnation proceedings against large
number OF property owners in Lew
istown. The line from this city to
Hauck's siding has already been SUR
veyed, while several large surveying
parties are working this way from
Mondak.
Will Be the Main Line.
1t is now we'll known in railroad
circles that this is to be the main line
of the Great Northern. The line
northwest OF Great Falls, up through
the Sun River country, across the
Cadotte pass and on westward, has
already been surveyed. By coming
from Mondak, through Lewistown to
the Billings Northern at Haucks, over
the Billings Northern to Great Falls,
and thence through the Cadotte pass,
the Hill road will get one of the
shortest and best grades from the
Twin Cities to Seattle Without such
a line, they will be in no position to
compete with the Milwaukee which
will have almost an air line across
the western part of the continent
when their Milestone via Lewistown
road is completed.
May Be Race.
It looks now very much as if those
giants in the railroad world, the Mil
waukee and the Great Northern, will
have in this part of Montana one OF
the most sensational races in the his
tory of railroading. Lewistown, which
will be the trade center of the Judith
Basin, big country which will de-
velop an immense tonnage, is one OF
the prizes in this race. When the
race is finished, this little city will be
the greatest railway center in Mon

PARK ADDITION
LOTS FOR SALE
Purchasers of Frank Day Tract, at
Head of Fifth Avenue, Invite
Public to Invest
They Are GOING FAST
Scores of People DESTROYS of Getting
in On Coming Residence Section
of Lewistown.

The owners OF Park Addition to the
city Of Lewistown yesterday placed
their lots ON the market, and N. J.
Littlejohn, who is agent for the own
ers, has been busy with people who
are desirous OF getting III on what
promises to be one Of the finest resi-
dence sections Of Lcwistown.
Many Lots Spoken For.
A large number Of lots had been
spoken for before the addition even
was plated and since they were
placed on sale yesterday, this number
has been greatly increased. Work
will be started by Messrs. Lane, Lit
tlejohn and Beldcn right away on the
laying out and grading up of streets
and providing for numerous other inn
provements which shall add to the
attractveness Of their fine PROPOSE
ton. Fifth avenue will be extended
through the tract and side streets laid
out. Side walks will be put in and
trees planted.
Will Start On Park.
Work will also be started before
many days on the new and only city
park, which is to be laid out on a
pol llOIl III Liz lldSl. ANo CAPCASC WuA
be spared in making this park credit
to the city and pleasure to the resi-
dents of Lewistown.
No more beautiful tract of land can
be found anywhere than that COM
prised in Park Addition. 1t is so level
as to make it an easy and inexpensive
matter for the property owners to fix
up their premises in any way they de-
sire. There are certain restrictions
against the erection of cheap or un-
slightly buildings, the one aim of the
owners of the addition being to make
this the show part of the city At the
present rate, most of the lots will be
gone within a few months. It is
splendid opportunity to get in on the
ground floor in the prettiest residence
section of the best town in Montana.

Loosely Played Base Ball Contest at
Athletic Heights Captured by the
Lewistown Aggregation.
HAVE A Strong team
Game Sunday Shows That Metropolis
Has Material for Best Team in
History of the City.

In loosely played game, the Lew
istown base ball team last Sunday
afternoon secured ample revenge for
the beating given them at Moore on
the latters grounds the previous Sun
day. The score was IA to 8, but the
locals did some experimenting after
they had the game sewed up and
probably could have increased their
lead had they been pushed.
Errors Very Plentiful.
Errors were plantiful on both sides,
Moore excelling in that respect. AL
though they made few bobbles
which were responsible for some of
the scoring, the Lewistown team dis
played such form as to encourage the
fans in the belief that the metropolis
will, this season, be represented by the
best team ever organized in this city.
Every position is we'll taken care of
and as a whole, the team looks like
bunch of strong batters. They are
all better than the average on the
bases and will score many runs be-
fore the season is ended.
Try Out Three Pitchers.
Three pitchers were tried out, and
despite the fact that none of them
have had much work this year, all
showed enough to indicate that Lew
istown will not be weak in that inn
portant spot this year. Turzell, a
new man who recently arrived in
town, started and pitched four in
nings. He is southpaw and the local
team will be fortunate if he can be
kept here as he is man who has
played in fast company and knows
the game thoroughly.
"Smithy" threw the nexe four in
nings and had no trouble in holding
the Moore sluggers safe. Old reliable
Friedline went in the last inning and
showed that his arm is still there.
Moe behind the bat showed better
Fergus County Democrat. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1904-1919, 1910-05-10

than he did at any time last season,
and is set for good year. McKeen
is the same old standby at first, while
Friedline who was playing second
while Captain Shafer was giving his
"bum" hand a rest, put up a star
game. At short, Tommy Campbell,
the demon railroad builder, cavorted
around like he had never played any
where else, and Bill Slater showed
that the winter months have only put
him in just the right shape for a
grueling season. In fact, Bill never
fielded or batted better in his life
than Sunday
The locals have grabbed star in
Durig, who will hold down left field.
He is a great ground coverer and
showed a swell arm when he threw
out the speedy little Willard at the
plate in the fifth inning. thus turning
about the only noteworthy play OF the
game. He is also good at the bat and
a bear on the bases.
Tommy Baker and Jack Sweeney
held down the other garden positions
and are in fine shape. Sweeney was
hitting them better than he has for
years.
The hits were evenly distributed,
each side getting seven, but the Lew
istown bunch got their bingles more
timely and took advantage OF the
numerous bobbles made by the Moore

Northwest This fact is now ad-
mitted throughout this state, and as
never before, the eyes of all Mon
tana are on Lewistown.
The best town in Montana, located
in the center of the best country on
earth, is coming into her own.
Condemnation Proceedings.
While it is contended that the
Great Northern put one over" on the
Milwaukee by filing their right -of-way
through this city, the officials of the
Milwaukee do not appear to be un-
duly excited and say that they will
have no difficulty in getting the line
and grade they desire through this
city.

here last W 1nesday evening by l,

John Wilson has given up his posi-
ton at the Barnes-king and left for
his homestead on Wednesday, -.
B. +. Quaintance and son, Earl, left
on Thursday for their homesteads.
They drove over with their fine big
team, and went prepared to ranch in
earnest. They will build their houses
and fence at once.
Frank Knight and Tom Knight
drove to Lewistown Wednesday.
Frank continued his journey to his
ranch on Flatwillow, where he will
make his future home. Frank is justly
popular and will be greatly missed by
a large circle OF friends.
Once more the rumor OF a railroad
to Kendall is in the air and is the sole
topic of discussion in the gold camp
There seems to be little doubt that,
after many false alarms, Kendall will
be connected with the outside world
by rails at no very distant future time
It has been stated on reliable au-
thority that an extension Of the Mil
waukee from LcWistown to Kendall
will be built at once, and that actual
construction work will commence
within thirty days Certain it is that
Donald Mcintosh, the well-known
railroad contractor, is at present
supervising the survey for the new
line, and is campcd between Lewis
town and Kendall This looks like
business and means much to large
surrounding agricultural country. It
is within the memory Of all that, since
the Montana Railroad built into Lew
istown, the wheat lands along that
line, now the Milwaukee, have become
famous the country over. That all
the land in this section of the country
is as good and in many cases very
much better, than the land in the just
ly famous wheat belt, the significance
of railroad in this section cannot
be underestimate, for with a market
at our very doors the farmers in this
section will show what they can do in
a remarkably short time.
1t is noticeable fact that Kendall
is fast losing her population. Perhaps
greater number of people have left
town to go On their homesteads, dur
ing the past week, than ever before in
the same length of time. Almost
every person who had a homestead
right has used it, and now with the
pleasant weather houses are being
built and other Improvements made,
so that the family can go out to hold
down the homestead. With the re-
turn of winter, however, it is more
than probable that large number
will return to the burg, to give their
youngsters the advantages of Ken
dall's fine schools
Martin Guhrs, OF Deerheld, was in
town last week to have some dental
work done.
Reid Biggerstaf has purchased the
Pete Stuart house on the Barnes
King hill, and on Wednesday took
possession.
