? EMIGRATION TO MONTANA.
II We feel convinced that there will
; q very fair amount Of emigration [
the Territory this year. In fact, it
our deliberate opinion that 1874 wi
be the beginning of real emigratio
to Montana to he followed each yea
with continuous stream that wi
never cease so long as time lasts. TIL
Territory has seen its worst days, an
they can never return as our resource
are inexhaustible. A bright future
before us, and those who have obtaine
good foot -olls either in soil or minel
ais are the fortunate ones. We hav
!. unbounded faith in Montana, and 8
have thousands Of others in our mids,
Let all have faith, and do their dut,
to the advantages which they possess
80 soon as the front doors of Montan,
are opened by an Eastcrw connectio,
Montana will overflow with persons
seeking fertile ranches and rich mines
More than quarter of million o
emigrants came over the waters to ouI
shores last year seeking homes. Every
succeeding year will see stilflarge1
numbers coming from the Old World
With proper steps vey large portion
Of this emf Dation can Be brought to
Montana. Then there are thousands
in the States anxious to come here
when increased facilities are secured
for cheap travel. The prospect before
rs in that respect is very encouraging.
Col. A. H. Beattie, Councilman from
Lewis and Clarke, has introduced a
bill in the Legislature ITO create the
Office Of Territorial Commissioner Of
Immigration which should pass.
Other States and Territories haua like
Commissioners and have derived great
advantages. If the duty is well per
formed the Territory will he repaid ten
fold for the expenditure. We want
population and any measure hooking
to an increase should be adopted with
ont hesitation, and we hope the Legis-
lature will not adjourn without pass
ing bill providing for . Commissioner
Of Immigration" The bill presented
BY Col. Beattie provides as follows:
