Tire Milwaukee as a Colonizer (From the Helena Record.) Judge George R. MilDurn II Rattling Good booster J UDGE GEORGE R. MILBltlN, one of Custer county’s distinguished citizens, formerly Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Mon tana, was invited up to Billings to deliver the address at the com mencement exercises of their High school. His subject was “ What Is Success?\ and he certainh gave the Billings young folks some good sensi ble talk. “ Wealth,\ he said, \is nothingby which a man or woman’s worth to a community can be justly measured. I have known o f the wealthiest men in a community being the ones who were of the least benefit to it. It is not the man who has the finest house nor he who has the greatest fortune of money, it is the individual who best uses his influence and means in advanc ing the condition of those about him as well as himself. A man who has ac cumulated a fortune is not nescessarily the successful man. My own personal opinion of a successful man is the one who chooses the right girt for his wife as early as possible and builds up a bright and happy home. “ No person,” he continued, \however good and honest can ever perfprm a deed that is not done without a certain degree of selfishness. Even the poor mother with her child who is lost in the storm, suffering from hunger and cold, wraps her cloak about the little one and sacrifices her life which is so important to the child in order to be relieved of her sufferings displays selfish- , ness. A story is told of that man of spotless character—Thomas Jefferson— who while once driving out in the country came upon a sow and her little pigs in a muddy hollow, saw* that she had neglectfully left one of them in a \place where it could not extricate itself. > Quickly alighting from his carriage, he waded into the mud and brought the squealing little beast to the dry road. After re-entering his carriage covered with mud and having reached his home, he was asked why he went to such unnecessary trouble, he said that if he had not done so he could not have slept a w-ink at nights It was an un selfish dq^d and one of the many little things that the president did to make him beloved by a whole nation.’’ And Judge Milburn not only said things to the High school students—he F THE building of the Milwaukee railroad through Montana did not mean '\any ipore £o the state than the more rapid settling up of the country ; along the line of the road, it would be of inestimable value.

He talked of the good times in his home town at Miles City and of Custer county in general. “ Miles City is going ahead at a rapid rate,” he said “ and while I don’t think that it will ever catch up with Billings in the matter of size, I firmly believe that it will be in time one of the leading cities in the state. Much building is being done there this spring, many residences apd one or two large business blocks have been completed, j The Milwaukee railroadLis goingto begin building operations im mediately on as fine a depot as there is any place on the road. . Th?re is a a sash and door factory- at present turning out home made products and con struction of several other manufacturing plants is contemplated in Miles City. “ But the’biggest asset that we have in Miles City is the number ofbright, energetic young meh that are there. They are just the people to push the town and they are certainly doing It. Many of them are engineers, some are lawyers, .and other follow professional vocations making them the most de sirable kind o f citizens. “ Not only is Miles City getting ahead rapidly, • but the surrounding country as well.
