WINTER VS.. SPRING,

The winter Of 1854, according to
the opinions Of the pioneers of Mon
tana, has been the most severe, in this
portion of the territory at least, for
twenty years past. Up to the latter
part of January Montana's usual
mild and exhilarating temperature pre-
vailed, but with the advent of February
the snow and banana belt" zephyrs
seemed to combine with a premedita-
ted intention of burying and freezing
the whole country at one and the same
time. Still we have the satisfaction of
knowing Gf such it a be called)
that our severest weather was but the
extreme western end of the terrible
Billiards that ragged through Dakota,
Minnesota and even the Central and
Southern States. In fact the past
winter has been the acme of severity
throughout the globe, and that its
equal will be reserved for the next
generation to enjoy is the unanimous
wish of all.
Apparently spring is with MS again,
and ere long the various Industries of
the territory-compelled to lie idle
through the winter months-will soon
be set in motion, and the close times
through which we have passed mate
rally alleviated. In fact the "rustling"
season is at hand, and it behooves every
mar in the territory to place his
shoulder to the wheel OF industry and
add, his mite toward assisting in the
development of our adopted home.
No matter what may be your vocation
in life, do what you can to attract the
attention of western home seekers to
the multiplicity of advantages this
territory, and particularly this portion,
offers to them for the lettering of THEN
condition, in any legitimate branch O
industry.
