The Branch Line to the Yellowstone National
Park has its terminal point here, and ali the im-
isuse travel to that famous resort is compelled
to stop here from few hours time to number
OF days. The principal shops of the railroad
company between Brainerd and the Pacific Ocean
are now being built here. They will give en-
ployment to probably 1000 men. Pine timber is
plenty in the surrounding country, and various
sawmills ia the immediate vicinity Of the town
furnish work for hosts of employees. The valleys
OF the Yellowstone, Shields and Smith rivers are
vast and very rich In agricultural resources, and
are well settled. Their trade is entirely tributary
to Livingston, while magnificent cattle ranches
abound in every direction; vast mines of true BIZ
luminous coal, which can be cooked for X cents
per ton; also rich iron mines are within two to
four miles from town, s-d ere being worked.
The gold placer mines of Emigrant Guloh, Bear
Crevice, Mill Creek, and Eight-Mile Creek, are
all in the Yellowstone Valley just south OF Liv-
ingston, directly tributary to 1t, and are being
actively worked. That wonderfully rich quartz
country, silver and gold, known as the CIsrk's
Fork District, is south OF town, and Livingston
is the headquarters gnd Quitting point. I'M.
rnense deposits OF limestone, sandstone, clay and
fine brick clay, are but two miles distant, and tie
manufacture of lime is already an important in
dustry. this being the first point after leaving Du-
luth the east, 1000 miles, where line rock is
found. There are some 2G0 buildings in course
of construction. Tho Park Addition on which
the new ST, 900 school house is expected to be
built IL the most desirable Iesidsnce property il
town, while the Palace Addition contains tbs
cheapest business property offered for sale-the
tendency OF business and business Improvements
being largely in that direction. There are two
banks, the First National and q private bank: two
newspapers, one daily and one weekly. A smeit
ing and reduction company is also Ii process Of
formation, to be located here. There are many
chances for business enterprises of various kinds.
lii coll ff,r
profitable employment are very good and work
men as well as men of capital Will find plenty Of
chances in and around the town. Livingston Is
less than year old yet it is probably the second
largest city in Montana: It Is not surprising
when one considers that agriculture alone has
made Fargo; the Northern Pacific company rail
road shops, Brainerd; summer visitors, Saratoga;
lumber, Eau Claire; silver and gold mines, Dem
ver cattle Kansas City; iron and coal. Pittsburg;
that a combination of eli of these factors as is
found here should, within the next Eve yeara
make this point city Of at least $1,000 people.
The prediction may seem wild one, but We have
yet to see or know anyone whs, few years ago,
was accused of being wild then in their predic-
tons, who predicted one-half of what has actual
IL occurred in the Northern Pacific country. We
sold lots II Fargo few years ago fer 500 each
that would sell to-day for 80 900; acres at James
town for Sl5 per acre (cost g cents) that to-day
sell for 81, 500, and are built on. ne have acres
To-Day In Fargo which cost 1914 Genus thsU are
now in town lots selling at the rate OF 81 $50 per
acre. So lots at Livingston which we now tffer
st from S25 to S25o viii, inside Of years. sail at
from $500 to si0,0 apiece. They have done 80
st all good points On the road in the past, and
they viii in the future-particularly at an ezcsp-
tionally good point like this. We gd--.ance price
