Making Beautiful City Park.

The Democrat is informed by N. J.
Littlejohn, one of the owners of Park
addition to the city of Lewistown,
that a contract has been let to Bert
Melchert for the grading of some
streets, excavating for lake and
making other improvements in that
beautiful addition to the city.
The lake will occupy about two

i'll a piece of land, comprising some
seventeen acres all told, which it is
hoped will ultimately become a pub
lie park for the enjoyment of the peo-
pie of Lewistown. Irrespective OF
any future dealings with the city, the
owners are going to lay out the park,
make the lake, around which will be
built pretty drive, and otherwise
make Improvements which will add to
the general appearance of the addi-
ton as we'll as afford place OF recrea-
ton for the people of the city.
During the present summer, it is
also contemplated that Fifth avenue
will be graded up, graveled and ex-
tended on through the addition to the
railroad track. Cement sidewalks will
be then put in and the general boule-
varding plan of the Fifth avenue dis

Unprecedented Rush of People Seek
ing New Homes in Treasure
State Is Reported.
BREAKS ALL RECORDS
Railroad Officials Amazed at Crowds
of Emigrants From the Eastern
States to Montana.

Advices from Twin City railroad
officials confirm the statements made
by Lewistown real estate men that
this is to be the banner year so far
as the number of new settlers for
Montana is concerned. Gentlemen
from this section of the state who
have had occasion during the past few
weeks to visit middle western centers
of population, have brought back
word that train loads of new settlers
will be pouring into Montana
throughout the spring, summer and
autumn. They also state that the Ju-
dith Basin will probably get more of
these new settlers than any other sec
ton of Montana.
Coming by Train Loads.
The following article, which ap-
peared in the state press last week,
indicates the rush of new home-seek-
ers to the Treasure state:
More home-seekers are coming to
Montana at the present time than to
any other state or locality in the
Union. This is the information re-
ceived yesterday by Matt c. Ives, local
agent Of the Great Northern railroad,
from the immigration department Of
his road. Not only is this state un-
dergoing unprecedented settlement,
but on the Great Northern road yes
terday all records were broken and
even greater traffic is anticipated to-
day. There were sufficient extra cars
on yesterdays westbound passenger
trains out Of the twin cities, bearing
home-seekers to Montana, to consti-
tute in themselves special train.
A telegram received by Mr.. Ives
from J. T. McCaughey assistant gen
eral freight and passenger agent, with
headquarters in Helena, in which he
| transmits message from the head OF
the immigration department and gives
hint of the settlement that is going
on. The telegram says: Number OF
! home seekers and colonists heavier
this year than that for corresponding
period last year. Total number oi
extra cars handled on westbound
trains today sufficient to constitute q
