The people Of Cofinne are exhibiting
much genuine spirit over railroad project
from that pla,e to Helena. Several enthusi-
astic meetings have been held and consider
able money subscribed for stock. The en-
terprise is heartily endorsed BY the press Of
California, and it is fair to presume that San
Francisco, already having large CONNER
cisl trade from Montana, which would be
considerably augmented and more securely
established by the early construction Of this
n I'D, will invest heavily to assist in forward
ing it through our Territory. The advent Of
the North Pacific, with cheap rates for
freighfs and direct connection with the lead
ing commercial cities of the East, viii Sc
cure the entire trade Of Montana, which is
now controlled to considerable extent BY
San Francisco and Sacramento, unless this
road is bHilt. California cannot expect to
compete with Ihe East for the trade Of Mon
tana, after the Northern Pacific strikes us,
with the present transportation facilities and
her gold basis. although California goods
will always command better prices than
similar articles imported from the East. It
therefore stands her in hand to strike Willie

The solid business men of Helena are also
displaying their usual enterprise in further

The burnt district is being rapidly built up
