Constitutional Convention Man
Says Farmers Would Be
for Measure.
Special to The Tribune.

Billings, Nov. 4.-"If the 71framers
of Montana's constitution were to have
the same important task to do over
again, they doubtless would make pro-
visions for the changes needed in coun-
ty government similar to those now EN-
bodied in the proposed constitutional
IN endment."
That is the way that Col. G.. F. God
dard, one Of the remaining members of
the group of pioneer leaders comprising
the state constitutional convention of
August, 1889, commented on the pend
ing amendment to Article is of the on
stitution relating to county government

the 10 members of that convention only
"a of MS survive he declared. Many
of the living have left the state but / am
sure that every one would back this
measure. Prominent leaders of all par
ties have given it approval. In my
opinion il is Montana's real hope for at
least u partial return to sane, efficient
and economical administration of coin-
ty, city and town government"
Constitution Foundation
In 1859, when the constitutional
| convention met in Helena to draft the
constitution which is now our organic
law. it was our idea to give Montana q
foundation for a stable. economical
| government and I believe we did. But

! at that time look forward to anything
approaching present extravagant ad-
mi1istrative coITIitions@ and the re-
| styfgant exorbitant taxation" Colonel
| Goddard said.
"Since that time many state and To-
cal regimes have, through their own
efforts. maintained minimum forces
and minimum taxes was the result.
On the other hand, however, other ad-
! ministrations have employed unncces-

the voter and taxpayer is at the break

reduce their burdens materially" he
declared.

Thank YOU

The management of the harvest fest
ival wish to thank every one who con
tributed in any way to the success OF
the event. Judging from comments not
few, it met the appreciation adver-
tised-bigger and better than ever.
There is no reason why it should not
every succeeding year be an improve
ment over what it was the year previ.
Gus
| One OF the most encouraging feat
ures to those who had the responsible
| ity of making the festival a credit to
the public spirit of the citizens os this
| community, was the addition to our
force of the services of two mighty good
men, who worked hard both days, SER
wing willingly, eheerfully, and without
pay. These men are A. E. Lawrence
and Charley Symes. They relieved the
others on the force greatly and are to
be commended for the fine spirit shown
in lending their services so unsparing-
ly to promote movement purely for
the good of the community, with no
thought of money return. There is
some satisfaction in living in a live
town and such men will help to keep
one moving forward.
Mr.. Hallman, our new teacher of
Agriculture, showed considerable cap
acity for work and management in ev-
cry department his services were need
ed. He not only worked without limit
but seemed to find pleasure in coming
among us and being part of our big
community effort.
Messers, Schaenzer, Kopecky, and
Schuster are old stand-bys, who side
track their farm work for about a week
and give their services to the festival,
without pay.
People, we can have just as good a
harvest FESTIVAL every year as we want
sufficiently to be willing to help make
it high class. The degree of it's success
is fine indication of the percentage of
the public spirited citizens in our midst.
AS long as the great majority are
boosters for the event, just SO long the
harvest festival will be growing in
StltutlOn.
We want to thank the management
of the Mills, the Ideal Theatre, the
Restaurants, and the Owner of the hall
where the dances were held, for their
cooperation which added so materially
to the success of the fair.
1t is not out of order for every one
interested in having better festival
to plan, plant and work tor it in due
season.

Harvest Festival
A Big Success

Wabeno's Harvest Festival, held last
Friday and Saturday was very succ-
essful affair. In point of exhibits and
attendance it was better than any pre-
vious year.
The stalls and hitching rails for hors-
es, cattle, calves, sheep and pigs were
filled and some fine animals were
shown The poultry exhibit was much
larger than at any previous fair and
some fine birds were shown.
The exhibits from the field, garden
and orchard were of excellent quality
and gave evidence of the fertile soil of
the surrounding community. The ex-
hibit of apples was an agreeable sur
prise to every one. The exhibit con-
tanned nearly every variety and all
were of good size an excellent quality
There is no doubt but what Wabeno is
well ada pted to the raising of good
apples.
The exhibits by the high school de-
partment of agriculture and domestic
science were very good and showed the
interest and progress that is being
made in those lines in our school.
The addresses by Messr Gehrand and
Robbins were timely and instructive to
all and some good suggestions for i'm
provement along agricultural lines were
given.
The Wabeno band furnished excell-
ent music both days. The free attract
ions of the Engfords were of high Or
der and much enjoyed.
The base ball games between Long
Lake and Mountain were both won by
the former.
The dances Thursday and Friday eve-
nings and the movie shows were well
patronized and much enjoyed by all.
The Festival was we'll managed and
the cooperation of the people was
splendid.
Much credit for the succuess of the
Festival is due Principal Switzer and
Agriculture instructor Hallman for their
untiring efforts. They worked early
and late for several weeks to make the
Festival bigger and better than ever

blocked with snow for four or five
months of that winter.
The extension to Lewistown justi-
fled the enterprise for from the time
We began to operate that line our
receipts we're ample to meet expenses
and to maintain the very expensive
line that lay between Lombard and
the Castle mountains.
Great credit should be given to A.
G. Lombard, the first chief engineer
of the road, after whom the town
of Lombard was named.
Were it not for his ability, optim-
ism and tact the enterprise would
have surely died in 16 Mile canyon.
He did not know the meaning of the
word fail. He did not know when
he was knocked down. He knew
only one thing and that was tt be
up and doing.
F. T. Robertson took charge of the
road after we reached Harlowton.
He was an engineer and a traffic
man. He ran he line from Lewisown
o Harlowon and the proof of his
skill lies in the fact that the same
line is being operated by the Milwau-
kee road today, Notwithstanding that
company had unlimited funds to
it when it bought the prop
erty.

ABOUT THE "JAwB0ME'' RAILROAD AND
HOW ITS CONSTRUCTION WAS FINANCED

It was in November, 1903, that the
first railroad train was run into Lew
istown and back of that event was a
story of achievement seldom equaled
in the annals of railroad construc-
ton. Richard A. Harlow, then of
Helena, who now operates a large
stock ranch in the Moore country,
spending his winters in Washington,
D. c., originated the project of build
ing from Lombard, on the Northern
Pacific, to Lewistown and was presi-
dent of the Montana Railroad COM
pany, with f. T. Robinson as chief
engineer. Some years later, as all
know, this line, called throughout
Montana, "The Jawbone," was taken
over by the Milwaukee, rebuilt, con-
Meeting with the main line at Har-
lowton and continuing IN.
Some time ago an account of the
building of the famous "~Jawbone"
was given in a Harlowton paper and
now the Milwaukee Employees Maya
zine has given the story, with ar in
PRODUCTION by Carpenter Kendall, the
editor of the magazine. The whole
story relating to this interesting and
important development in Lewis
towns history follows:
That portion of the Milwaukee's
transcontinental line that ~traverses
Sixteen Mile Canyon, and is n of
the strong picturesque attractions of
that picturesque route, together with

was to build on, so / began to delve
into the problem of extending to Mar
tinsdale, "a miles.
Built to Martinsdale
The Northern Pacific began to take
an interest in us when it's officers
learned that we were thinking about
an extension because they were in
terested in getting the Judith Basin
traffic. / got a little, but a very lit
tie help, from the Northern Pacific
and managed by some means to get
to Martinsdale. 1t was a struggle
to the death but we finally got the
track laid with less outlay to the mile
l daresay than any other road in this
country can boast of, and then we
began to feel a little new blood ting
ling in our veins.
A small but steady stream of traf-
fic came our way and helped in a
pitiful way to meet our payroll. Up
to that time we had never received
enough money during any one month
to pay expenses nor anything like it.
When we reached Martinsdale, Mr..
Whitney was forced to throw up his
hands. He had gotten to the end of
his purse strings and could go nc fur
Their. 1t was then that Henry d.
Moore of H%addonfield, N. j., a prince
among men, came into the enterprise
with his money and his generosity,
confidence and faith.
He, however, vas by no means
ready or willing to advance money
to build extensions, and the extern
sion to Harlowton had become absol-
utely necessary. But he made it pos
sible for me to make another con-
with the Northern Pacific by
which that company co~nditionally
guaranteed our bonds, which enabled
me to build the extension.
The advance to Harlowton put real
life into the road but ever then our
receipts over a large part of the year
were not sufficient to pay expenses
and the onward call began again to
ring in our ears and then came the
Lewistown extension, begun in 1902
and finished in the fall of 1903, and

l conceived the idea of building
the railroad which developed into the
Montana railroad, commonly known
as the ~"Jawbone" in the summer OF
1890. I was living in Helena. There
was great excitement all owe the
state in those days in mining circles.
Silver and lead were high and in
great demand, and copper was begin
ming to come into its own.
Everybody in Helena felt rich.
Real estate was exchanging hands at
a lively rate and new enterprises, OF
any kind, were received with favor.
Someone had discovered silver and
lead in the Castle mountains in the
late eighties and there was great ex-
element in that district in 1890.
The Cumberland mine had a small
smelter in which it had reduced ton
of silver-lead bullion. The coke for
the smelter was hauled in wagons
from Livingston and the bullion haul
ed back.
There were Is steam hoists in the
district and one other smelter besides
the Cumberland company's and every
inch of the mountains had been To-
Gated and innumerable prospects
were being worked.
The ore was of too low grade how
ever to justify the long haul to he
Northern Pacific and a cry arose from
the two thousand men who got their
mail at Castle for a railroad.
Helena was wide awake and heard
