The Branch Line to the Yellowstone National
Park has its terminal point here, and all the i'm
Iasnse travel to that famous resort is compelled
to stop here from few hours 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 1OOG men. Pine timber is
plenty IN the surrounding country, and various
saW1nllls In the immediate vicinity Of the town
furnish work for hosts OF employees. The valleys
Oh the Yellowstone, Shields and 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 b.
luminous coal, which can be cooked for ~ cents.
Per ton; also rlch iron mines are within two tc.
tour miles from town, aod are being worked.
The gold placer mines of Eznigrant GuIch, Bea5s
Crevlce, ELL Creek, and Eight-AIils Creek, are.
all in the Yellowstone Valley lust south of Liy-
ingston, directly tributary 70 it, and are beinc
actively worked. That wonderfully rich quartz
country, silver and gold, known as the Clark,s
Fork DlstE2f, is south of town, and Livingston
is the headquarters and Quitting point. m
mense depcsits of limestone, sandstone, clay and
fine brick clay, are but tao miles distant, and the
manufacture of lime is already an important in
dustry this being the fist point after leaving D
luth on the east, 1,000 miles, where lime rock is
found. There are soz2e 200 buildings in osarse
Of construction. The Park Addition on which
the new ST, 0C0 school house is expected to be
built is tie most desirable residence property in
town, while the Palace Addition contains the
cheapest business property offered for sala-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 smelt
ing and reduction company is also IN process OF
formation, to be located here. The-s are many
chances for business enterprises Of various kinds.
Like all new countries, the opportunities for
profitable employment are very coed and work
men es well as men of capital will find plenty of
chances il and around the town. Livingston ID
less than year old yet it is probably thu second
largest city in Montana: It is not surprising
when one considers that agriculture alone has
made Fargo; the Northern Pacific company's rail-
road shops, Brainerd; summer visitors, Saratoga;
lumber, Eau Claire; silver and gold mines, Den
YER; cattle Kansas City; iron and coal, Pittsburg;
that combination of sill Of these factors as Is
found here should, within the next five years
make this point city of 81 least 81, QUO people.
The prediction may seem wild one, bat We have
yet to see or kROw anyone Who, a few years ago,
was accused of being wild then In their predic-
tons, who predicted one-Aalf of what has actual
~ occurred in the Northern Pacific country. We
sold lots in Fargo few years ago fer 500 each
that would sell to-day for $40 GOO; acres at James
town for SIS per acre (cost 48 Cents) that today
sell for $1,000, and are built on. We have acres
to-day in Fargo which cost 4S15 cents that are
now in town lots selling at the rate of 81 per
acre. So lots at Livingston which we now offer
at from s25 to $3.50 WILL inside of years, sell at
from $500 to 900 apiece. They have done 30
at all good points on the road in the past, and
they Will in the future-particularly at an szaep-
tionally good point like this. We ad Sanc0 price
