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 a few hours time to q number
OF days. The principal shops of the railroad
company between Breinerd 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 varions
saWInllis II the Immediate vicinity of the town
Iurnlsn work for hosts OF employs. The VALLEY {
OF the Yellowstone, Shields and Smith rivers ar
vast and very rich in agricultural resources, and
are well settled. Their trade is entirely tribut ~
to Livingston, while magnificent cattle ranches
abound LII every direction; vast mines of true b.
luminous coal, which can be cooked for IL cents
per ton; also rich iron mines are within two 10
TOUR miles from town. ID are being worked.
The gold placer mines of EmigFant Gulch, Be-
Crev1ce, Mill Creek, and Eight-Mile Creek, sra
all IN the Yellowstone Valley Just south of Liz
Ingston, directly tributary to it, and are being
actively worked. That wonderfully rich quart
country, silver and gold, known as the Clark
Fork District, is south of town, and Livingston
is the headquarters and Quitting point. I'M
mense deposits of limestone, sandstone, clay and
hne brick clay, are but two miles distant, and the
manufacture OF lime is already an important in
dustry. this being the first point after leaving Du-
luth on the east, 1000 miles, where lime rock is
found. There are some 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 for sale-the
tendency of business and business improvements
being largely In that direction. There are two
banks, the First National and private bank: two
newspapers, one daily and one weekly A smeir

Like all new countries, the portunitiee for

that combination of all Of these factors as h
found here should, within the next five years
make this point city of at least $1,000 peopie.
The prediction may seem wild one, but we have
yet to see or know anyone who, few years ago,
was accused of being wild then IN their predic-
tons, who predicted one-half Of what has actual
