PROSPECTS FRIGHTENING.

Cpon the approach Of Spring ant
pleasant weather business is looking

cheerful and blight. The recent ad

As VIC have repeatedly said in these
columns, Montana has seen its worst
days, and from this time on, her march
to prosperity and abundance will bs
steadily onward. The various projects
inauguratcd to open mp the country
east of lis viii tend to open our doors
to emigration, and population and
capital will come in regularly and rap
idly. The Yellowstone Expedition
fitted out from this place is attracting
attention in all parts Of the Onion,
and it has been the means of adver-
Using that rich region, and thousands
will flock there from the East so soon
as travel begins on the Northern Pa
cific to Bismarck and the Missouri
river. The arrangement made by the
Northern Pacific with the Diamond r
Company has secured almost the en-
tire fieights this season to Montana,
and that road means to put passage
on their line SO low that emigrants can
reach Montana without exhausting
their means as heretofore. Montana
is point that the Northern Pacific
wants to reach at the earliest perioJ
with their l1au, ana they indulge the
hope that they will be able to nego-
tate for the means to build this year
two hundred and five miles OF the road
from Bismarck to Yellowstone Cross
ing. Contracts were let last fall for
this work and the Company is fully
determined to put it through if posi-.
bic. We sincerely trust they may sue
coed, for so soon as the road is finished
to Yellowstone Crossing, all the bust
ness OF Montana in freighting and
travel will so by that route. The Nor
them Pacific people are fully aware Of
that, and will strain every nerve to
secure SO great an advantage. At
present, freighting goods from Muscle
shell is a big thing for the I, rritory.
Freighters will get all their supplies
in Montana. When freighting was
done from Corinne the supplies needed
by freigltefs were procured in Utah.
Many Mormon teams hauled goods to
Montana, and brought their grub with
them and never spent dollar for any
thing in Montana. Now, freighters to
Muscleshell purchase all they need
here, and the money remains at home. |
Added to this is the cheap rates offered |
by the Diamond r for the shipment of
ores to Chicago and other points East.
Thousands Of dollars will he saved
now over former rates, and greatly in
creased quantities Of ore will be ship
ped. The Northern Pacific Railroad
is Offering great inducements for ship
ping this description of freight, and
the Diamond II gives all the ail and
encouragement to induce large ship
ments of the rich minerals of Montana.
The business Of freighting ores and
other products will not be done alto
gether by the Diamond r Company.
Others will engage in it, and the bust
ness Wien fairly inaugurated will af-
ford employment for all the spare
teams in the Territory. Thus large
business will be created in that line.
In this work the people of Helena !
AXE lively interest, ard have made q
arrangements with the Diamond r to Z
ship all their goods by the Muscleshell s
quite, and by doing SO they get freights !
It lower rates than ever before, there. ,
~ enabling them to sell to consumers I
much cheaper. Of course, when the ,
Northern Pacific completes their road I,
o Yellowstone Crossing shipping to Z
will cease, but until this s
S done, the present arrangement will Z
rove highly beneficial to all points Of u
he Territory. b
In view Of all these considerations. G
re think the people of Montana ought y
o feel increased confidence in the flu Q
ure prosperity Of all the interests of n
he Territory, and go to work to de- s
elop all of our resources. We feel n
that the prospects in Mon a
ana are better than almost any other d
ountry, and that there is q sure re- {
Tard for enterprise and labor. To us t
be future looks bright and encourag- Q
az, and with faith and industry this /
will become a great, rich and a
prosperous commonwealth, teeming n
nth a population Hat will develop all t
f its boundless wealth.
