THE U. p, AND MONTANA.
There is no doubt that the Union Paci~

summer from Sidney, toward, if not to,
the Black Hills; and it $s quite probable
that the Denver road will be extended in
the same direction early next spring. if
not sooner.
Considering that Montana has always
such small population, it is

getic and 90 ahead sort of people. and
that eventually they are destined to make
themselves known aud felt. 10 greater
