TRANSPORTATION NOTES.
A Statement of the Remarkable
Growth of Montana as a Cattle
Raising Country.
The Oregon Short Line Suffering from the
Worst Snow Blockade Ever known.
The TERRITORY of Montana.

Few people In the states have any appre-
citation of the rapid increase in wealth in the
territory of Montana in the last two or three
years, and when the figures are set forth and
read they are so large that they cause one to
doubt if he reads correctly. Governor Crosby
in making his report to the secretary of the
interior for 1888 gave the numler of cattle
in Montana as 5000. Now reliable esti-
mates, at the close of 1884, place the num-
bsr at $780, 900, with valuation of S29, $780,
900. The Increase of mineral products Of
that great territory is equally as striking. In
1888 the mineral products were less than
$40, 600, 900. In 1884 they were S23, $50, 900.
This shows the remarkable increase of 3d.
49, 600 that, is an increase OF $50 per cent.
in one single year.
A recent estimate of the mineral product
of Montana By counties shows the following
remarkable results:
