been provided. The new road is not re-
markable for Its length. as there Is a
scant four miles OF track at an outside
estimate. but there are several features
10 the line which, IL is declared, will ap-
peal to street car travellers. One Of them
IS the heavy roadbed and .he substantial

The Great Falls camp meeting which
Southern Methodists in this vicinity have
been conducting for several weeks will
end this evening. There are over sixty

two weeks. Seventy-five preachers have
officiated at the camp at one time or
another. forty OF whom were permanent
campers.
Five regular services have been held
each day, making a grand total of seven
