Messrs. Hershfield and Davidson, of
Helena, two Of the clear-headed, sue
cessful business men of the capital, both
| of whom are interested in this city, hold
a very favorable opinion Of Fort Benton
and believe that our boom, which is to
be a big one, is near at hand. They rec
ognize the fact that several railroads are
looking this way, and that it can not be

invested in Benton dirt. We feel conf
dent in saying that this boom period is
not very far off.
