The Branch Line to the Yellowstone National
Park has Its terminal point here, and all the i'm
menee travel TO that famous resort ia compelled
to stop here from few hours time to number
or Gays. 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 ie
plenty N the surrounding country, and various
saTn1ils In the immediate vicinity Of the to1n
furnish work for hosts Of employees. The valleys
OF the Yellowstone, Shields anG Smith rivers are
vast and very rich IN agricultural rssourcea, and
ere well settled Their trade is entirely tributary
TO Livingston, while magnificent cattle ranches
aSolnd IN every direction; vast mines OF true 81
luminous coal, which can be cooked for y cents
per ton; also rich iron mines ere within two 10
four miles from town. ard ere being worked.
che gold placer mines of Enigrant Guloh, Bear
Creyice, Mill Creek, ard Bight-8Lilo Creek, are
eli in tie 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 Ciarl's
/ Fork District, Is south of town, and Livingston
IS the headquarters and Quitting point. I'm
mense deposits OF limestone, sandstone, clay and
fine brick clay. ere but two miles distant and tha
manufacture OF lime is already an important in
dustry. this being the first point after leaving Du-
luth on the east, l,OOJ miles. Ihel5 lime rock Is
found. There are some zGO buildings IL course
| OF construction. The Park Addition on which
the new ST., 00G school house il expected to be
built is the most desirable residence property IN
town, while the Palace Addition contains the
cheapest business property offered for sale--the
tendency Of business and business improvements
being largely III that direction. There are 5go
banks, the First National and private bank; two
| newspapers, one daily end one weekly. smelt
| ing and reduction mpsny Is also In procesB Of
| formation, to be located here. There are many
chances for business enterprises Of various kinds.
Hike all new countries, the o portunities for
| proftabLe employment are very good and work
men as well men of capital viii ind plenty o.
chances III and around the town. Livingston Ie
less than year old, yet it is probably the second
| largest city il Montana; Il ia not surprising
when one considers that agriculture alone has
| mode Fargo; the Northern Pacific coInpany'e raj
| road shops. Brainerd; summer visitors, Saratoga
lumber. Ecu Claire; silver and gold mines, Den-
v3T; cattle Kansas City; iron and coal, Pitts5urg
! That combination CT all of these factors as Is
found here should, within the next FIVE years
make this point city Of at least $4,000 people.
| The prediction may seen wild one, but we have
| yet to see or know anyone who, few years age,
was accused OF being wild then in their pTedic-
5ions, who predicted one-half of what has actual
| " occurred in the Northern Pacific country. We
| sold lot IN Fargo g few years ago for 500 each
that would sell to-day for $40 900; at James
town for SIS per acre (cost IS cents) that to-day
sell for 81 800, and are built on. We have acres
uo-osy In Fargo when cost 1914 Genus thst are
now in town lots selling at the rate of Sl,25O PEI
acre. So lots at Livingston which we now ofel
at from 1875 to $3.50 WILL inside of years, sell al
from $500 to 500 apiece. They have done &c
at all good points on tbs road in the past, and
they will in the future-particularly at an excep
tonally good point like this. We ALLIANCE price
