HOUSE WRECKING
Says Cities Are Benefited,

Construction of modern homes to
rent and to sell at moderate prices is
becoming more and more a feature of
the real estate business in nearly every
city of the country, according to the
National Real Estate Journal This
feature of the business" 1t says, "is
Of the investment nature, and Ameri-
can cities generally are vastly benefited
by the real estate firms which construct
such homes.
The real estate business thus becomes
a component part of the work of de-
veloping the whole city. The homes
constructed by real estate firms in
many cities range from one-story
dwellings with four rooms and bath
upward. The building methods and
materials used in the construction of
these homes are. in the majority Of
instances, of the best"

tives, and every thoughtful man of

tween ourselves and our neighbors, in
the interest of all America north and
south. Our concern for the indepen
dence and prosperity of the states of
Central and South America is not al.
tered. We retain unabated the spirit
that has inspired us throughout the
whole life of our government and
which was so frankly put into words
by President Monroe. We still mean
always to make common cause of
national independence and of political
liberty in America. But that purpose
is now better understood so far as Il
concerns ourselves. II Is known not
to be a selfish purpose 1t is known
to have in it no thought Of taking ad
vantage Of any government in this
hemisphere or playing its political for
tunes for our own benefit All the
governments of America stand, so far
as we are concerned, upon footing
OF genuine equality and unquestioned Il
independence.
Put to the Test in Case of Mexico.
We have been put to the test in the
case OF Mexico, and we have stood
the test. Whether we have benefited
Mexico by the course we have pur
sued remains to be seen. Her for
tunes are in her own hands. But we
have at least proved that we will not
take advantage Of her in her distress
and undertake to impose upon her an
order and government of our own
choosing. Liberty is often fierce
and intractable thing, to which no
bounds can be set, and to which no
bounds of few mems choosing ought
ever to be set. Every American who
has drunk at the true fountains of
principle and tradition must subscribe
without reservation to the high doe
trine of the Virginia Bill of Rights,
which in the great days in which our
government was set up was every
where amongst us accepted as the
creed Of free men. That doctrine is,

ELECTRIC ENGINES
ARE GREAT SUCCESS
TRIAL ON FIRST UNIT OF
ElECTRlFiCATlON LINE.

BUTTE, Dec. S.-Final tests were
made on the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul railroad today in connection
with the electrical transportation of
trains over the heavy grades of the
Rocky mountains. Today's trial was
a pulling contest on the Piedmont
grade east of Butte and was conduct
ed in the presence of a half-hundred
persons, including A. J. Earling, presi-
dent Of the company and his directors,
officials Of the Anaconda Copper com
pany, several New York 1financiers
and large delegation of Butte busi-
ness men. In the presence of the di-
rectors, trailing train load of 2,2OO
tons was pulled by three of the heav-
lest freight locomotives of the Mallet
type in the service of the st. Paul
system; then a trailing load of 5000
tons was drawn over the same grade
by two of the large electric freight
locomotives. The increased ease with
which the electric locomotives pulled
the heavier load, stopping on the
grades and then picking up their
speed, called forth much satisfactions
from the observers. The electric loco
motives apparently were not extended
and. according to the engineers, easily
could have hauled much heavier
load. The steam locomotives fairly
labored up the grade, groaning and
putting under their load.
The electrification of the first unit
of the electrification district of the
st. Paul system, from Three Forks,
Montana, to Butte, distance of 113
miles, is now completed. The cleo
trificatiOn work will be continued
until Avery, Idaho, distance from
Three Forks of $40 main line miles
is reached. Around 100 miles of line
will be electrified year.
Directors accompanying President
Earling were John d. Ryan, Percy
Rockefeller and l.. j. Petit.

words the spirit OF the occasion and
It's true lesson to all Elks. In his

much that was encouraging and 1t was
all most creditable.
Mr.. AIderson's Grafton.
A. M. Anderson, secretary of state,
delivered the memorial address. In 1t
he introduced number of thoughts
new to such an occasion, and he also
presented the old ones in way that
was new. He said:
Brother Exalted Ruler, Brother Elks,
Ladies and Gentlemen:
mo person may become an Elk un-
less he processes a belief In the Su-
preme Being. No member of this or
der expects annihilation. We join in
this observance in the confident belief
that those who have died upon earth
yet live in those ethereal realms be-
yond the human limit of conception.
These are solemn. but not mournful.
ceremonies. They are solemn because
we feel that we here stand in the
very presence of the Giver of Life
and Death. They are solemn because
by faith we are convinced that our
brothers, whose presence in the flesh
we no longer can enjoy, from mysteri-
Gus heights observe our devotion to
their memory. It may. perhaps, be
given not to some to have their faith
transcend the veil, to know and feel
the personal presence of departed
friends. but such blessed privilege
is vouchsafed to many and is within
the reach of all Standing, then, as
we do here. in the presence Of the
Fergus County Democrat. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1904-1919, 1915-12-09

The annual memorial services OF
the Elks Sunday afternoon were
even more interesting than usual
which is saying good deal, be
cause these exercises are always
of IA very n teres Ing character
The exercises were held at the Pres
byterian church, which was filled, and
under the direction of Exalted Ruler
a. II. Stephenson, the program moved
along smoothly from beginning to end
The altar was beautifully decorated
with flowers, plants and the Elk colors
Directly in frcnt of the pulpit stood
the new bronze memorial tablet, on
which is inscribed the names of the
departed brothers. On the pulpit
were the candles. which were lighted
and extinguished, one by one, as the
names of the absent ones were called
by Secretary Leopold Beck.
Music Is Fine.
The musical program Sunday was
fine. The orchestra, com.
posed of Mrs. Emil w. Saxl. violin /;

the Elks filed in. The angels Ser.
enade" was exquisitely done and the
final number was also fine. Mrs. G
c. Appleton was the vocalist and gave
two numbers, first Bartlett's ooh,
Lord, Be Merciful" and Crossing the
Bar" A large number who had never
heard her before were surprised that
there was such a soprano in the city
Both her numbers were beautifully
given.
The invocation was offered by Rev.
w n. Stevenson, while the benedic-
ton was pronounced by Rev. George
Hirst.

eulogy, naming the ten departed
brothers, three of whom, S. w. Tin.
