TO EIectrify Mountain Lines.

Denver, Dec. 1.-Vice-President
Brown, of the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad, on his return from New York
city yesterday announced that the
first steps in electrifying the Denver
& Rio Grande system are to be taken
at once. The first unit to be electri-
fed will be from Helper, Utah, to Salt
Lake City, Ia miles. The second unit
will be over Tennessee Pass, the great
continental divide in Colorado, and
will involve the electrification of the
line from Salida to Minturn, Colorado,
a distance of 81 miles.
The Utah work will be commenced
early in 1918, and it is hoped that 1t
will be completed by the time the
new two per cent detour line over
Soldier Summit is finished, in July of
that year.
The Utah utilities company is to
furnish the power for the Utah lines,
and the Central Colorado Power com.
pany will probably furnish the cleo
tricity for the Colorado lines.
The improvements to be undertaken
by the Denver & Rio Grande, the Cen.
trail colorado Power, and the Utah
Utilities company will aggregate be-
tween $40 0,0O0,000 and $25, ,000. 900, most
of which will be expended during 1913
and 1914.
Other units in addition to the two
mentioned will be added from time to

Speaks Well for Montana.

Washington, Nov. 28.-According to
a department of agriculture report,
the wage rate with board per month
in hiring by the year and season Of
farm laborers in Montana was $38.05
in 1909. and by the day was $1.68. The
farms In 1910 were classified: 6.5 per
cent of SO acres; 4.8 per cent of 100
acres; 72.1 per cent of 500 acres; 8
per cent of 1000 acres. and 7.6 per
cent of 1000 acres and over. The
value of implements and machinery In
1910 was $1O,539,653, or $1.402 per
farm. OF the farm laborers in 1909, 80
per cent were fit to become tenants
and all of them could save enough to
buy a farm that would support q
family, even with the help Of mort
gage. The farmers in only one other
state are able to do this, Connecticut.

FINE MUSICAL PROGRAM
Methodist Church Filled With Men,
bers Of Order and Others Interested
-Eulogy Delivered by c. J. Mar
shalI-Invocation by Rev. White
and 6enediction by Rev. Hlrst.

The annual memorial services of
the Lewistown Elks were held Sunday
afternoon at the Methodist church,
where an exceptionally fine program
was carried out.
The chancel was tastefully deco
rated in the Elks' colors and the
church was completely filled with
members of the order and others in
terested.
Following prelude by Mrs. T. r.
Haller, cello; Mrs. Emil Saxl. violin,
and T. P. Haller, piano, the opening
ceremonies were carried out by the
officers Of the lodge, J. G. Bebb, exalt-
ed ruler; A. ]. Baker, esteemed lead
ing knight; Richard Zahniser, es-
teemed lecturing knight; Frank Carle-
ton, esteemed loyal knight, and Joseph
Gamble, for the secretary. After the
roll call Of the honored dead, DR..
Frederick Treacy, William D. Deaton,
A. J. Stephens, Richard L. Stephens,
M. M. Hedges and John L. Bright,
Mrs. E. A. Long sang THE Day Is
Ended, with violin obligato.
The invocation was offered by Rev.
E. L. White, of the Methodist church,
after which Richard Baker sang with
beautiful effect ''Oh Dry Those Tears"
with cello obligato.
The Eulogy.
The eulogy was given by Charles J.
Marshall, who rendered tender and
fitting tribute to the brothers who
have passed on, the character and
work of each being summarized, while
the whole address was beautiful one
! The instrumental trio rendered
"Cavatina," and then followed the me-
mortal address.
Mr.. Anschutz's Address.
Rev. J. Philip Anschutz, of Billings
but member of the Lewistown lodge
was the orator, and his address was
splendid effort. Such an occasion
said Mr.. Anschutz, invited a discourse
on Immortality, and while that would
be appropriate, he did not intend tc
make any argument in support of it
because he felt that the lessons of ma
ture, the passion for immortality burn
ing in all souls, of savages and philoso
piers, were sufficient to convince al
that the soul was immortal. Speak
ing of the Elks, he outlined those
sentiments and principles on which
the order was built and said that II
he were to describe in one word the
ruling sentiment of Elkdom 1t would
be the word sympathy" AS the flow
of waters erased the records from the
sands, so there was in the order o.
Elks a constant flow of sympathy thai
washed away all save that which was
best. It promoted the virtues and
while not religious order, was al
aid to the church and stood back of it
It was fitting that such an organiza
tion should set apart one day in the
year in which to pay tribute to the
memory of departed brothers. Tht
first alter was the grave and then i
was strewn with material things, foot
and drink, but as Intelligence grew
these material things had been swep
away, to be replaced by the priceless.
