The decree was granted upon the trial Of the

CoNsrirurIoyAL CONVENTION.

In Little less than three months, an
elsstpn will be held for delegates to the
Constitutional Convention to be held at
Helena Ihe capital of the Territory on
the second Monday in January 1884 for
the purpose of framingsa constitution for
the government of the people of the state
of Montana, when that distinguished
shenor shalt fey -upoa our shoulders.
While wstlought at the time and still
think Sdch legislation was in advance Of
our needs; now that the resolution
calling the convention is a law Of the
land, we should make our arrangements
to meets it's requirements, and to do 80,
it is time we were casting about to find
men suited by education, interest, asso-
citation and Identification with our Terri
tory, who would be able to draft q consti-
tuition commensurate with the greatness
which Montana will assume in the sister
hood of States. We have abundant
I1haterisi sndswe trust that those who
shah Be deemed best fitted for that pur-
pose, win not decline their services.
either for want of time or the insuffici.
ency of the pay. None but officers will
receive any pay, except mileage going to
and from the capital, but we have no
doubt that future legislature will pro-
vide compensation. Aperson must be q
citizen of the United States and shall
have been a bona fide resident and tax
payer of the county that he is elected to
represent, at least one year Immediately
preceding such election. The election of
deoegates zAsll be held on the first Tues
day after the first Monday in November
1883, and Is declared to be general
election and governed by the same laws.
The convention is to lie composed of
forty-five delegates, OF which number
Gallatin is entitled to five. The consti-
tuition which they adopt will be submit
ted to the qualified electors at the general
election in November 1884 for ratifca-
ton or rejection. We trust that the peo-
pie of Gallatin county will send good
representative men Of sound sense, clear
Judgment and those conversant with
the present wants and advancing needs
of a prosperous and growing county. We
hope this may be done throughout the
Territory and our wisest and ablest men
be present in that body, as much depends
upon it. We have nothing to base
hope that statehood would Immediately
follow, but we can prepare for it, as it will
come sooner or later.

a REVIEW.
Twelve years ago when 1came to Boze-
man l brought all my worldly wealth
Qess than two thousand collars with me
and c;,st my lot with the pioneers Of civ
ilation hereabouts, with an expectation
to make home and live among the ad-
vance guard. Since that time my bust
ness has increased from five thousand
dollars the first year to twenty thousand
dollars the last year, and ! am proud
of the record 1 have made, and feel a
just pride in my customers, who have
enabled me to achieve such a success. A
year ago, the march of improvement
caused me to vacate the log house corner
of Main and Bozeman streets, at which
time 1 commenced the building Of o
more spacious and comfortable building
to accommodate my increasing trade. AZ
ter two removals and one fire, am at
last settled in my new quarters,
. OSBORN'S NEW BRICK BLOCK,
where hope to see all my old friends
and customers, and the public generally,
whether they wish to purchase or not. l
hope they will come in aud take a look
around and compare the old with the
new.
You will find a larger and better sele t.
ed stock of goods in the drug line than
was ever before brought to Bozeman
consisting in part of
Drugs proper, patent medicines, toilet
and fancy goods, perfumeries, Sponges,
fine pocket cutlery, gold and steel pens,
pencils, stationery, brushes-all kinds,
toilet soaps, paints and oils, window
glass, lamps and chandeliers, lamp trim
mings, trusses, supporters, braces, can
dies, pure liquors for medical use, and
the best goods generally that can be
bought for money.

We understand there is party on the
ground with q view of erecting foundry
in Boseman. This will gil long needed
want and we trust the parties interested
will meet with sufficient encouragement
to at once commence the erection of tho
necessary buildings. Now that there are
90 many agricultural implements in use,
. foundry can always supply needed
pieces, as well as castiags for any and all
purposes, and this would be but the
beginning of othex- panYfa curing indus

phere saluDrlous, the proJcctIon To
property ample.
The next week brought other letters
ofadvice. Some came from the sunny
South and others from the fertile
West. The former showed all the adj
vantages and none Of the disadvanta-
ges of engaging i'll farming in re-
gion where land was cheap, the win
tiers mild, and nearly all the inhabi-
tants native born. The profits of
raising tobacco, hemp, cotton, sugar
cane, and semi-tropical fruit were
presented. The published statements
in relation to the unreliability of Ia
Dor, the unsettled state OF society, the
unhealthy climate, and the oppressive
taxation in the South were pro-
nounced to be utterly false. 1t was
admitted that capital was greatly
needle there, but it was shown that
it would pay large dividends if in
vested in farming.
The advice to go west and grow up
with the country" came from nearly
every state and territory beyond the
Mississippi and from lew states ON
this side OF it. The profits and plea
sures Of farming on the broad prai-
ries were set forth in glorious terms.
The seeker after light and knowledge
in respect to place OF settlement
was informed that money invested in
western farming lands would double
III four years, AMI that the profits of
capital employed III farming were not
less than twenty-five per cent. per an
mum. Little labor was required to
produce crops which were simply
enormous. Tie soil was so rich that
it required 10 fertilizers. Farmers
had abundant leisure, and there was
literally no end to facilities for enjoy
ing life.
The publication of all these letters
of advice will doubtless be Of consid-
cradle advantage to others than the
person who asked for them.

The Best Farming Region.

Early lastspring gentleman wrote
to an eastern agricultural paper for
advice in relation to the best location
for establishing himself as a farmer.
He stated that he had $50, 1000 in cash
which he wished to invest in the bus
mess which he desired to pursue
chiefly for profit and partly for plea
sure. This letter was published in
the paper without note or comment.
His first installmcnts of advice
came from localities in the vicinity of
the city where the paper is pub
lished. He was informed by different
persons that the best place in which
to engage in farming was Long Island,
New Jersey, the Mohawk valley in
New York, the western slope Of the
Green mountains in Vermont, the
northern portion of Maine, and the
eastern part of Massachusetts. The
authors of the various cOmmuuica-
tions disagreed in most things, but
they all united in solemnly warning
the seeker after advice not to 90 to
any portion of the sickly, heated,
tax-ridden, abor-convulsed, and i'm
poverished South. They also united
in stating thas the wild, "untrodden
West" offered no attractions to gen.
tleman Of means who desired to OBJ
tain pleasure as we'll as profit from
his avocations. The old settled por-
tions of the East combined every
thing he desired.
The capitalist, who desired to turn
farmer, was informed that the pro-
ductive capacity of soils in the West
was grea thy overestimated, and that
the cost Of sending crops to market
was enormous; that the charges on
railroads were extortionate, and that
the earth roads were virtually impas-
sable during considerable portion of
the year; that the society was poor,
the means of enjoyment few, the eli
mate variable, the water bad, the at
mosphere charged with malaria, the
protection to property inadequate, and
the criminal classes numerous. In the
East, however, the reverse of all these
things were found. There was home
market for everything farmer had to
sell, the roads were in first-class con-
dition, the society excellent, the
means of enjoyment many, the climate
healthy the water pure. the atmos-
