as president Of the Merchants Nation
al bank Of Great Falls. He was also
vice president of the Cascade Nation
al bank. In 1888 he was elected chair
man Of the board OF county commits
sioners. Mr.. Hanks was treasurer Of
the Great Falls chapter No. 9. r. A.
NJ. His home was in the east end of
Great Falls. now known as Valera
way, where he owned 10 acres OF land.
William Hanks was born in Ohio in
1860 and came to Sun River by the
persuasion of John Largent, n Of the
first settlers in the valley. who thought
a newspaper Was needed TO help Sun
River progress. He vas a nan OF
pleasing personality, tall. of fair COM
plexion and had a smile for everyone.
His main fault seemed to be grasping
for that which was greater than he
could hope to finish TO a satisfactory
end. His wife, whose maiden name
was Miss Ink, was short and OF dark
complexion and we'll liked by her
friends. They had three children, all
boys, one of whom was Ill much of his
life and died at the age Of 6 years
and 2 months. He was buried in the
Sun River cemetery.

SUN RIVER sun
BECAME TRIBUNE
PAPER WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1884
BY w. H.. HANKS DURING
BOOM DAYS

The Sun River Sun, one of the
first newspapers to be published in
Montana, was first edited at Sun
River, at that time a prosperous and
fast growing town. Many people in
1885 argued that Great Falls would
eve attain any size as 1t was too
near to Sun River. How far their
prophecies have proved true is wit
messed by the progressive city of
Great Falls and the quiet town of
Sun River, which is many times
smaller than 1t was in 1885.
The Sun River Sun was at first a
28-column paper, published by the Sun
River Publishing company with w. H.
Hanks as manager and David B. Hall
as editor. Mr.. Hall has been a CORE
spondent of the Rocky Mountain Hus-
bandman for a number of years and
many of his articles have been ex-
tensively read and copied.
The first issue Of the Sun River Sun
vas published Feb. IA, 1884. Two copies
of this edition were printed on white
satin and are now in the possession Of
John Largent of Sun River and Lee
Ford OF Great Falls. The paper con-
tinued under the partnership until
February. 1885. when Mr.. Hall sold his
interest to Mr.. Hanks. Mr.. Hanks
edited the paper alone until the early
part of May, 1885. He then sold it to
David Lawrence and took his print
ing press with him to Great Falls and
established the Great Falls Tribune.
The first issue of the Tribune APP
peared May IA. 1885. 1t was a weekly
paper of four pages. April 3, 1886, the
Tribune Publishing company took over
the stock Of the Great Falls Tribune,
Will Hanks as president of the
company and business manager.
Some time in May. 1886, the Tribune
became a daily paper and printed two
semi-weekly editions. The paper was
sold in 1887 to Jerry Collins OF Fort
Benton, editor of the River Press.
Mr. Hanks held many important po-
and was a prominent figure in
the early days of Great Falls. After
selling the Tribune, he went into the
real estate business under the name Of
Hanks & Atkinson. the Office being in
the old Lapeyre drug store block. In

on a run when it became out of con-

Phee jumped to safety and escaped in

RAIN AT CUT BANK FILLS
WATER HOLES ON RANGE

A recent rain at Cut Bank totaled
SO inch and was .85 inch for that one
week. Earlier a heavy rain passed to
the west and north of Cut Bank and it
was reported by farmers from that
district that there was much more rain
fell there than in town.
Crops that have not been damaged
too badly by high winds are still in
good condition and the rain will assure
some crop to those who have land in
good condition.
In many places the rains were heavy
enough to give some temporary relief
to stockmen who could not use parts
of their range on account Of shortage
Of water. 1t will also help the ranges.
