The Branch Line to the Yellowstone Nations.'
Park has its terminal point here, and eA the i'm
mense travel to that famous resort ia compelled
to stop here from few hours timoto number
of days. The principal shops of the railroad
company between Brainerd and the Pacific Ocean
are now being built here. They VIII give en-
ployment to probably 1000 men. Pine timer is
plenty In the surrounding country, sdsd VARIOUS
sewmllls In 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 RIGA IN agricultural resources, end
are well settled. Their trade is entirely tributary
to Livingston, whi3e magnificent cattle ranches
abound IN every erection; vast mines OF true b.

The gssd placer miTss OF Mzsigrant Guloh,z Bear

all in TIE Yellowstone Valley just south o. Liv

actively worked. That wonderfully rich qnsrtg

Fork District, is southof town, and Livingston
is the headquarters and outftting point. I'm

fine brick clay, but ttso miles distant and The
manufacture of lime is already an important ~

less than year old, yet it is probably the second
largest city in lzontana 1t is not surprising
when one considers that agriculture alone has
made Fargo; the Northern Pacific company y rail
road shops, Brain3rd; summer visssoss, Saratoga;
lumber, Eau CLARA: silver and geld mines, Dem
YER; cattle Kansas City; iron and coal, P1ttsburg;
that a combination of all of these factors as
found here should; within the rest Eve years
make this point city of at least 50, GOO people.
The prediction may seem wild one, but we have
yet TO see or know anyone who, a fsW years ago,
was accused of being wild then in their predic-
tsons, who predicted one-half of what has actual
ly occurred in the Northern Pacific country. We
sold lot in Fargo few years ago Ter 300 each
that would sell to-day for $40 0O0; set James
town for SIS per aero (cest 48 cents that to-day
sell for 81 500, and are built on. VS. Lave acres
