tor at first as more men seem to fear Il
ability OF said road TO pay the first In ere
than that arcruing after the road is con
pI' ted further. Let us make few talc,
la'ions 10 show he ADVANTAGE which Il
f,rmer and stock raiser Will receive whe
railroad is built
Each voter will. I suppose bring I
this Territory in sugar. coffee, sal
apples. peaches, beans. implements. dr
good and clothing st least 500 pounds, an
will save at least one dofIar per hundred
making $500 each or "a her saving it.
any voter will take the trouble to exam,n
the prices current, published al St. Lo"ls
Chicago, or New York with those pull
lisfei at any point in Montana he Wi
satisfy himself that he can get them a
least low enough there TO save one dolla
on the hundred over and above fright
so that he can save another IS 90. max
ing $40 90 to earh voter. Then take
man who has Thousand sheep and ship
400 pounds If wool and saves one cent
pound in his freight bill-.qual to $40 90
Auy person can make tue calculations fo
greater numbers, and it is not impossible
thar 100000 sheep will be owned an.
grazing in this Territory at no distan
day.
Suppose man has 100 beet steers tha
net gv1 punnds, said steers will bring here
if they can, or could I've sod. 3 cents l,e
per pound equal 10 $24 90 each. 1t III
road was built to Shields Riyer he coult
pay $50 90 per head freight. and VIII. n b.
got them to the Eastern market the!
would bring at least $50 10 per head
thereby clearing $1,000 90 on one hundred
Istcers.
The above calculations appear TO b
made in the bounds of reason and mod
Grafton and to be sufficient to illustrate IN,
position. / would not 1.te for said propo
s,tion if I thought we would have 70 psy
