LIST YOUR LAND . wns t i Freseman & Moody Farm Loan Co., GEYSER CASCADE COUNTY MONTANA O 0 0 0 0 0=0 Towns That Grow. In every county and in every state can be found towns that are continu- ally forging ahead, while others re- main practically at a stand still and ac- complish nothing in the way of ad- vancement. In every case the fault can be found to rest, not with the town. ;but the people themselves. An ex- change has been thinking pretty seri- ously alone this line and it presents its conclusions in this way: The reason why some towns grow is because they have men in them with push and energy who are not afraid to spend their time, energy and money in anything that will boom and benefit the town. They have confindence enough in their town to erect substan- tial and modern buildings and residen- ces and work for public improvements in the same order. They organize companies and es- tablish factories, induce industrial en- terprise to locate and use every means to further the best interests of the towns Their work is never consid- ered finished and the accomplishmentl of one thing is only an incentive of ! another. \On the other hand, the town that does not get ahead will be found to be dominated by either a set of men who ; are perfectly satisfied with their sur- roundings or who are afraid some- body else will be benefited in the event something is started; consequently no effort of any kind is made by this class for these two reasons. \If some men or set of men en- deavor to start something they are met by opposition and discouragement and it is uphill work all the way and very often failure. \Every town, however, has a cer- tain progressive element which hopes for a turn of the tide when the town will go forward by leaps and bounds and occupy a position of importance and obtain numerous advantages which go to make a good town in every sense. But this stage cannot be accom- plished by mere wishes or supposi- tions. It can only come from har- mony in purpose and action and the eternal vigilence of its citizens. \The town with these things will continue to grow and improve, but the town without them can be expected to remain in a state of lethargy indefinitely without affording its residents anything but a mere existence. \It is all true.\ An Important Notice.

S. Henley, Geyser. Mont. I mile north of Mer- ino. 6-7 Cemetery Located. Last Tuesday morning a number of business men and citizens met at the office of Freseman & Moody's and definitely , selected a cemetery for Geyser. The acres selected are on the Brill farm and about a half mile west of town and is a very prettily laid out tract. The Geyser Cemetery Asso- ciation, which is composed of most every citizen in Geyser have shown good judgement in the selection of this tract, for it is convenient and in time can be made a - most beautiful spot. There were several other locations offered and any one could have been made attractive. Telephone Assured. Last Saturday evening there was it large gathering of men at the Merri- mack ranch who had gathered there to discuss a telephone proposition. The matter of cost and construction was discussed and it was definitely decided that a telephone was a necessity and that this bunch of men would build a line between Geyser and Knerville a distance of sixteen and three-fourth miles. A telephone meeting will be held in Geyser on next week Saturday when a few remaining details of the construction will be finished and work I will commence for the first telephone system in this vicinity. Stock Yards for Geyser. Traveling Agent Cook, representing the Great Northern railway was in Geyser last Tuesday and looked riser the grounds with a view of putting in a large stock yard. For several years the Great Northern has had a petition from this place to have a yard of this kind located here, and they have.just I woke up to the fact that this point . had developed to such an extent that it was an absolute necessity and Mr. Cook spoke very encouragingly of the pro- ject. The railway map at this place will have to be somewhat changed to accommodate as large a yard as would he necessary. Mr. Cook ex - aimed that a new and much longer siiSe track would have to be put in and siveral other changes be made. If anything is done in the stock yard line O s season work will commence in the ndar future. Parents Illourn Loss of Child. and Mrs. J. A.

Taking a 5th Avenue electric from the Belknap cement -block works, we arrive at Market Square, three blocks south of the first site of the NI issouri River Lumber Co's yards. Follow- ing a diagonal cement walk across this busy mart past a giant fountain fed by an artesian well two thousand feet deep, we enter the City Administra- ton Building. The interior is truly palacial—imitat ion mosaic floor. marble columns and great leather covered settees. Over a great arched door- way we read \Mas or's (Mice.\ Wondering if the chief official might be an acquaintance of early days, we enter the large waiting room. A pretty office girl takes our card and returns immediately saying that the mayor has just cancelled an important engage- ment in order to give hearty welcome to an old friend. As we enter the pri- vate office we at once recognize the congenial face of our afore -time friend —\The Sage of Geyser.\ Michael Byrne. Years have dealt gently with him, only the hair under his hat -band has greyed slightly—the crown has not changed at all. The same ease and genuine courtesy of former days mark S his every move. In the few minutes. allotted us we learn that he held his Forty until the city had built entirely round him, selling thirty acres for a fabulous price he had erected a beauti- ful residence upon his ten -acre estate. His youngest daughter and her hus- band are keeping house for him, and his son Archie, who is now captain of the High-school foot -ball team and the• pride of his 'heart is still with him. Realizing the value of his time we re- luctantly withdraw. These words of Browning involuntarily rising to our lips: \Grow old along with me!
