EMIGRATION.

Tie world is moving-no question abou
the fact that emigration has set in for til
West. Thousands have started this yea
and the tide will continue from year t
year. Heretofore emigration poured il
from the Old World. Now 1t comes from
the old American States, and is pushing
its way TO- the extreme Western State!
and Territories. 1t is a source of regre
that in Montana no Board of Emf
grafton existed, by which We could have
secured this season a large portion Of the
immense numbers that are passing over
the railroads from Omaha 10 California.
Had we properly advertised the advantages
of our Territory. and had competent
agent In New York, thousands would
have been added to our population this
year OF 1875. What is wanted here is
population. There are millions of acres of
rich lands laying idle, that can be obtained
cheaper than anywhere else. Added to
this, Montana is second to no country in
the possession of rich minerals, that pay
we'll when properly developed. In tho
Gal!atin valley there are thousands Of
acres OF highly productive land that only
wants the hands of industry to yield in
abundance. Persons hunting homes can
not do better than to take up ranches here
We learn that portion of the immense
emigration Of this spring Is leaving the
railroad at Coriune and coming TO Mon
tans. They will be cordially welcomed.
and will fad the land rich and productive
and one of the healih,cst climates IN tbel
world. WeshOuld secure heavy portion
of the emigration coming West, and trust
means will be used promptly 10 properly
advertise our advantages. We have neg
lected this important matter, and we hope
the next Legislature will take steps to In
an emigration system, SO that
emigrsnts shall be properly informed in
regard to Montana and its abundant re-

The cavalry regiment that accompanied

is not probable that the expedition will

made on quartz lende, and when quick re-
turns can be had from the ores. These
men. accuetomed to lead mining AND
