The Branch Line to the Yellowstone National
Park has its terminal point here, and all the I'M
mense travel to that famous resort is compelled
to stop here from few hot rs time to a 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 employ g. The valleys
Oh the Yellowstone, Shields an 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 IA cents
per ton; also rich iron mines are within two to
four miles from town, a are being worked.
The gold placer mines of Emigrant Guloh, Bear
Crevice, Mill Creek, and Eight-hile Greek, are
all in the Yellowstone Valley Just south Of Liv-
ingsten, directly tributary to it, and are being
actively worked. That wonderfully rich quartz
county,, silver and gold, known the Clark's
Fork District, is south of town, and Livingston
is the headquarters and Quitting point. Inc
mense deposits of limestone, sandstone, clay and
fine brick clay, are but two Riles distant, and the
manufacture of lime is already an important in
dustry this being the first point after leaving Du-
luth on the east, 600 miles, where lime rock is
found. There aresons 200 buildings in course
OF construction. The Park Addition on which
the new SIT 600 school house is expected to be
built is the most desirable residence property IN
town, while the Palace Addition contains the
cheapest business property offered fer sale-tae
tendency of business and business Improvements
being largely in that direction. There two
banks, the First National and private bank: two
newspapers, one daily and one weekly. smelt

less lea. .Ssf old, Yet it is probably the second
largest ea* Montana. Il Is net surprising
whsl 0R. GEsii>;,i~rs that agriculture alone has
made Fargo; the Northern Pacific csmpeny's rail-
road shUps, Brainerd; summer visitors, Saratoga;
lumber, Eau Claire; silver and gold mines, Den
yer; cattle Kansas City: iren and coal, Pttsburg;
that combination OF all of these factors as Is
found here should, within the He1t Eve years
make this point city of at least sc, 600 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 predo-
tons, who predicted one-half Of what has actual
ly occurred In the Northern Pacific country. We
sold lot in Fargo few years age for 500 each
that would sell to day for $40 eco; acres at Jsmes
town for SIS per acre (cost 48 eents) that to-day
sell sor 81 500, and are built on. We have acres
to-day in Fargo which cost 1914 cents that ara
now in town lots selling at the rate Of 81 ESQ per
aero. So lots at Living, ten which we now fer
at from SIS to $3.50 WILL inside of years, sell at
from $500 to Sic, 0e6 apiece. They have done 80
at all good points on the road in the past, and
they will in the future-paricularly at an excep-
tionally good poilt like this. We al ssnce price
