The Branch Line to the Yellowstone National
Park has It's terminal point here, and all the i'm
mense travel to that famous resort is compelled
to stop here from few no rs time to number
of days. The principal shops Of the railroad
company between Brainerd and the Pacific Ocean
are being built here. They will give en-
ployment to probably 1880 men. Pine timber is
plenty IN the surrounding country, ard various
saWmills in the immediate vicinity of the town
furnish work for hosts of employ s. The valleys
OF the Yellowstone. Shields AMI Smith rivers are
vast and very rich in agricultural resources, and
well settled their trade is entirely tribut ~
to Livingston, while magnificent cattle ranches
abound IN every direction: vast mines of true bi-
| luminous coal, Whlcn can De cOked for = 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 GulCh, Bear
Crevice, Mill Creek. and Eiebt-AIile Creek, are
all in the Yellowstone Valley Just south of Liv-
lngstOn, directly tributary to it, and are being
| actively worked. That wonderfully rich quartz
county, silver and gold, known as the Clark'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 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 the east, l,U00 miles. where lime rock is
found. There are some 200 buildings n coarse
of construction. The Park Addition on which
the new 81, 600 school house is expected Ito be
built is the most desirable residence property in
town, while the Palace Addi ion contains the
cheapest business property offered for sa.e-the
tendency of business and business improvements
being largely In that direction. There are two
banks, the First National and Drivate hank
newspapers, one daily and one weekly. i sncI1-
ing and reduction mpany is also IL n3oce-- OF
formation, to be located here. There = + .aauy
chances for business enterprises OF .;:,iuj.a Kinds
Like all new countries, the o portuliii',- for
profitable employment very GO 49,. 7-orE-
men as well of capital viii in! :,.i;- Of
chances in and around the town. Livingston is
less than year old, yet it is probably the second
largest city in Montana. 1t is not surprising
when one considers that agriculture alone has
made Fargo; the Northsrn Pacific company rail
road shops, Brainerd: summer visitors, Ssratoga
lumber, Eau Claire; silver and gold mines, Den
yer; cattle Kansas City; iron and coal, Pittsburg
that combination of all of these factors as is
found here should, within the next five years
make this point city of at least 90, 900 people.
The prediction may seem q wild one, but we have
yet to see or know anyone VINO, lew years age,
was accused of being wild then in their predic-
tons, who predicted one-half of what has actual
ly occurred in the Northern Pacific country. We
sold lot IL Fargo few years ago for 500 each
that would sell to-day for $40 0GU; acres at James
town for SIS per acre cost 48 cents) hat to-day
sell or 81, 800, and are built or. We nave acres
to-day in Fargo which cost 49, cents that are
in town lots selling at the rate of 81 $50 per
acre. So lots at Livingston which we now fer
al from SO to $3.50 will, insiue OF yeTs, sci ~
from $500 TO 0,000 apiece. They have done So
at all good points on the road in the past, and
they will in the future particularly at an excep
tionally good poi, like this We advance prices
