This is getting the matter into practical
shape. The Governor of Montana is tho
proper head Of the Association. and the
present incumbent has manifested an ener.
getic interest in this subject worthy of com.
mendation. The Constitution of the Asso.
citation is comprehensive and good. Tho
officers, We have no doubt, will give intelli-
gent and faithful attention to- their duties.
Now is the time for Deer Lodge county to
organize an Association, prepare statistics
concerning the county, and collect material
energy requisite to publishing it abroad.
Many hands make light work, and pull oil
together is strong pull Let US have or.
ganization. What is to be done this year
must be done quickly. The Capital Times,
Herald and NEW NORTH West have united
on the propriety of publishing information
of Montana in the principal papers of cities
central to the localities in which we draw
and look to for our immigrants. Its effect
will he more immediate than other that can
be devised. One man who says II WILL"
and does it, is worth a thousand saying
somebody ought to-" and fold their hands

lie spirit. The practical advantages of this
purpose are known. More laborers is vcri.
table necessity recognized all over the coun-
try, and the sentiment in favor of effort to
secure them only requires to be given di.
rection. Shall we let the opportunity pass!

ing has been signed. We anticipate full
