MONTANA AND RAIL.
ROADS.

During the heated controversy last fall
over the proposition to loan the aid O
this II rrltory to the Northern Pscii,
Railroad. there was no voice raised agaiLs
the practical benefit TO Montana tina
would be derived from the completion Of
said road to a convenient poin: within 1T
borders. The people were scared will
imaginary evils and false calculations
Newspapers must live, and that canvas.
should convince discerning men of thai
fact from The course pursued by q large
majority Of the Montana press. The
proposition of loaning our credit to this
corporation was defeated by small ma
jority, which majority wss m;sled by
these false arguments and paid ne~ SNAPPER
paragraphs. Now. as then, the Northern
Pacific is live corporation, healed by
wealthy aud honorable gentlemen; AID.
Notwithstanding the I"d'an troubl.s, the
road will be pushed forward from both
ends of Its line this season.
THIS ROAD Is M0NTANA's WAY OUT OF HER
FINANCIAL DEPRESSION,
and can we, the people. aid in its co.,
struction? The answer must be yes! and
no man, save he who is influenced by the
money of corporations which would be
injured by the completion of this national
thorou2hfare, will gainsay the proposition.
The Helena newspapers, are now advo-
eating the subsidiz.ng Of a company to
build narr0w-gauge railroad from that
point to Fort Benton, on the Missouri
river. which will involve the county of
Lewis and Clarke 10 an Indebtedness of
ct least
THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS.
It is claimed by the Helena press that
the whole Territory IS interested in this
enterprise, and the claim is true to the
letter; for Lewis and Clarke county rep
resents Urge proportion of the taxable
wealth of Montana. Involve this county
with this unbearsble debt, snd the whole
Territory will suffer without ad. Quate
compensation; and, although the coun-
ties of jefferson. Meaxher and GallaliD
may reap temporary advantage by the
yemovsl of taxable property from Lewis
and Clarke TO their boundaries, but the|
final result would be disastrous to thel
Territory at large; for the Territorial
credit, with this county SO heavily In
volved, could not I've loaned at any figure.
Which ROAD will benefit the business in
terests most. the through route from ocean
TO ocean or local road which can be !
utilized for, at most, five months in the
year? We do not, in this article, plead
for our own section but for Montsna! We
ask the business men of Lewis and Clarke
county, and of Helena in particular, to
pause and weigh we'll the future results of
their action in this matter. They clxim
to be the metropolis of Montana and seek
the trade of the whole Territory; will you
''selI Your birth-right for mess of pot
lage?" Montana awaits your answer.
The question has resolved itself down
10 this: A local road from Helena to
Benton, a trading post on the Missouri.
