From all our sources Of information an
unprecedented emigration is moving
westward over the line Of the Northern
Pacific, principally to Northern Dacotah,
lured thither by it's agricultural re-
sources and the cheapness of both the
public and the railroad lands. A great
many are also destined for Montana, and
also many who are moving into Dacotah
will come still further west, and we may
confidently look for a great increase in
the population of Montana during the
year 1883. This increase in Dacotah is
due in a great measure to the railroad
and its advertisement ofthe country, and
its advent among us will have the same
effect. We see nothing in the signs of
the times but encouragement and hope.
We have been told repeatedly by those
already arrived that we have no concep-
ton of the number of people who are
coming or will soon come to Montana.
Look out for the boom.

main idle. Ifyou are poor in purse you
must not come expecting to live by your
wits alone; there are too many Of that
kind already and Montana does not want
that class. We want sober, intelligent,
industrious people to farm our lands; to
delve into our mines; to engage in the
various pursuits, where labor is required
and to such, an immense field is opened
up. Capital which is already seeking our
country, investing in our rich soil, open
ing up our mines and engaging in stock
raising is able to take care of ITSELF It
cannot make mistake by investing in
the many enterprises opened up to it, and
no where does it meet with such returns.
Come with q determination to carve out
your own destiny by application and in
dustry and you cannot fail in any under
taking, which may be suited to your cap
ital and capacity. Two railroads are now
in our country opening up and expand
ing it's resources. One of them (the
Northern Pacific will soon stretch its
iron bands clear across our Territory. 1t
offers extra inducements of transporta-
ton to settlers and will throw large
quantity Of land upon the market on easy
terms, both as to cash purchasers and to
those who from lack Of means will want
to buy on time. The people of Montana
are q generous, whole-souled people and
are not only willing but pleased to help
those who will show q disposition to help
themselves, but have no love or sympa-
thy with the idle and shiftless The po-
lice officers are the only ones who have
anything to do with that class and they
are not proverbially tender. To those
who desire to come with their families
we would say we have good schools, good
churches and people generous to main
tain and encourage both. You will not
be coming to desert or savage country
but can draw around you all the element
and comforts of a home. Our climate is
healthful and invigorating. Those who
have lived here q number of years form
an attachment to our mountain country,
which cannot be shaken off Many who
have gone to other parts have returned
better than ever satisfied that Montana
is the most delightful country to live in.
The cost of living is cheaper in proper
ton to the wages earned, than in the
east. No determined effort has ever
been made to induce people to come to
these mountains. It has grown and in
creased from its own natural and inner
ent qualities, and by individual represen-
tations Of citizens living here to friends
and relatives in the east, again we say:
If you have the right kind Of energy and
perseverance we invite you to come and
share in the. bounties Of our soil, our
mines and other natural resources.

In view of the fact that the grade Of
the streets will soon be established by
our City Council, we would suggest that
such grades be made with the idea in the
future that water be conducted along the
sidewalks, at least on the principal
thoroughfares. By 80 doing cleanliness
can be secured, and shade trees planted
and irrigated until they shall reach ma
turity. There is no reason why, with all
such natural advantages of location etc.,
that Bozehnan should not become as
beautiful as any city in the Union.

A REVIEW.

Twelve years ago when came to Boze-
man l brought all my worldly wealth
(less than two thousand Gollars) with me
and cast my lot with the pioneers of civ
ilation hereabouts, with an expectation
to make home and live among the adj
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 I am proud
Of the record l have made, and feel q
just pride in my customers, who have
enabled me to achieve such success. A
year ago, the march of improvement
caused me to vacate the log house corner
of Main and Bozeman streets, at which
time I commenced the building Of o
more spacious and comfortable building
to accommodate my increasing trade. At
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. I
hope they will come in aud take a look
around and compare the old with the
new.
You will find larger and better select
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,

TO EMIGRANTS.

Perhaps no country now opened up
furnishes better field for men of indus
try, pluck and perseverance than does
Montana. No country with such varied
resources as mining, agricultural, stock
raising and mechanical pursuits, to say
nothing Of manufactures. But to those
contemplating change of home we
would suggest that they come with at
least little money in their purse as they
must not expect to find remunerative
labor the moment they land on ur soil,
nor must they become discouraged that
they do not Immediately find employment
We suggest this as wise and prudent. At
the same time we assure them that those
who are willing to work will not long re-

President Arthur has reached home
much improved by his Florida trip. Has
had good health all the time, reports to
the contrary notwithstanding. The
health Of the President Of the United
States is being watched with a. much
solicitude as the life Of the Queen Of
England and the Car Of Russia, although
he is not threatened with dynamite and
other explosive compounds. The great
est interest is manifested by those whose
tenure of Office depends upon it. The

The Council has started out right on
the ordinance question and it should not
take the back track. The nuisance and
stock imponnding ordinances are neces-
stiles and should be rigidly enforced.
Now let the aldermen tackle the side
walk business and secure a series Of
walks, which the wayfarer may repoee
some confidence in. Bozeman is now in
the incipient stages Of corporate life and
should get up and shake itself Of village
ways. A survey of the city for drainage
purposes is one of the movements con-
templated and one which cannot be car
ried out too quickly. Main street is a
good initial point. A grade ought to be
established from Pease's premises to the
intersection of this street with Broadway
and down that thoroughfare to the
Northern Pacific station. Side street
grades may be established from the line
of this grade. Bozeman has better nat
ural drainage than any other city we
now call to mind and surface sewerage
system may be established at very slight
comparative cost and be made available
for some years yet. But the dumping Of
garbage in the city limits should be rig
idly prohibited. Another needed i'm
provement is the organization of q fire
department or the establishment of q fire
limit or what would be better, both.
This is an improvement from which the
citizens would reap an immediate benefit
in the reduction Of the insurance rated.
Ifa sufficient supply Of water could be &C.
cured, the Denver plan of having run
ming water through all the streets would
lend attractions to the city, rendering
the development of trees on the street
lines practicable. Then every citizen
could secure water for shrubbery and
gardens, combining usefulness with beau
tifying the landscape. None of these
improvements would be of costly char
acter and would almost double the value
of adjacent property and tend to attract
the very best class Of eastern emigration.

platforms banished beyond the ante

Though necessarily exclusive in its or
ganizationational policy the basial prin-
ciples of Odd Fellowship are Of the most
liberal, all-embracing character. Odd
Fellows are enjoined to unite with all
good men, it matters not at what affairs
they worship, to what governments they
pay their homage, whatever may improve
the living and do honor to the dead. 1t
is their special mission to bury the dead;
to stop the flow of the mourner's tears;
to care for the widow to educate the or
phan; and in every way to tighten the
burdens of all-especially by intoxicating
the lessons of virtue, temperance, indus
try and frugality. Allthe impressive rites
and beautiful ceremonies of Odd Fellow
ship point to these practical ends. If
these are the objects of all ministerial
teachings, then all ministers are auxil-
liaries ofOdd Fellowship-then for them
to oppose it is virtually to turn the bat
teries of their opposition against them
selves. Sincere religonists, of whatever
faith, who believe in working for the
moral elevation of the race, for the am
eloration of the individual, and the puri-
fication of the social conditions-can
meet and work with harmony under the
banner of Odd Fellowship. 1t is not a
PROSECUTING institution; it is not deform-
ed by the spirit of self-agrandizement !;
but it's doors are open to all who may be
found to be morally and otherwise quail
fed for admission. 1t stands upon its
merits-it is strong enough to charitably

INsTALMENT CONTRACTS.

1NSTALmENT CONTRACTS.
 It is the fashion nowadays to take rather
 an unfavorable view of those conditional
 sales upon instalments by virtue of which the
 title to the things sold remains in the vendor
 until the purchase price ia paid. This re- minds us of the tirade that occasionally
 breaks out against. the credit system as a l whole There are people still to be found
 who think credit an evil, and that the com
 mercial world could, and ought to, do cash I business Now somehow or other as civili-
 zation has advanced and trade become
 worldwide the e-sdit system has grown and
 expanded with it, until credit has become
 the rule and cash the exception. The fact is, | no medium of exchange has yet been de 1 vised by which the business of the world can be done without the assistance of credit The instalment contract is form of cred it, sort of mortgage, and no more op- pressive in it's terms than the ordinary mort gage of real estate. The mortgagor of real estate who, having paid part, fails to pay the balance, loses the property and with it what he has paid. The instalment contract is simply the ordinary mortgage applied to personal property. Mortgages possess great advantages, but people who lend their capital always will, and indeed must Busi- ness could scarcely exist without mortgages. Thousands of workingmen have been enabled by them to have homes of their own before they could save the money to pay for them. Indeed, the man is rather rare in these days who owns house without mort gage. The instalment contract though of recent origin has rapidly come into general use throughout the country. Not only sew ing machines, printing presses and musical instruments of all kinds, but furniture, stoves and even crockery are sold upon this plan. Not only people of moderate means, but the weH-to-do avail themselves of it. It's very wide use and the rapidity with which it has obtained it shows that this plan meets general want The laws of trade are laws of necessity. The survival of the fittest is the rule. Nothing lives in trade except what is needed Credit exists because it must.
 Families are enabled by the instalment contract to have the use of needed articles while they are saving tha money to pay for them. We see no more reason why mechanic should not buy sewing machine for his wife in instalments any more than why he should wait until he can pay cash for house before he has home. Thousands of ] poor music teachers and sewing women 1 have found in the instalment plan their op- 1 portunity. They would have had to do with 1 out pianos or machines if they had been l obliged to pay cash.
 The prejudice against the instalment con- tract is like the prejudice against credit. It is believed to furnish A tanantatinn to in.- E-..s IS very ancient and very absurd good thing must not be used because it may be abused. To be able to use and enjoy thing that you know you can pay for, but that you cannot pay for now, is, and will continue to be, che of the great advantages of civilized credit.
