The Tribune's special edition produced
| quite sensation on Saturday. Extra
numbers were in demand all the after
noon and evening. The demand contin-
ued brisk and double the number of this
large edition might readily be sold.
People are sending the paper in great
number to friends who have made in
quiry about the city. They are also send
ing 1t to people who have money to in
vest in order that such may learn to
put it where it will do the most
good. The illustrations of the business
houses meet the popular fancy and are
deemed of great utility. In no other way
could the solid business establishments.
hotels and mills of Great Falls be made
known SO clearly to people elsewhere.
Such illustrations tell better than the
statistics the growing importance of
this city iii the retail and wholesale
trade. The people Of Great Falls feel
proud that the city admitted of such
grand display and henceforth they will
feel more confidence than ever in the com
ing greatness Of the Cataract city The
map showing the resources of the terri
| tory tributary to Great Falls came in for
special attention. Many copies of this
valuable paper will be preserved Merch-
| ants will use it in order to learn the great
resources of this northern region which
shows, according to the map, a wonder
full combination of agricultural lands"
"coal lands," and 'gold, silver and COP
per- regions. Never before have the
varied products Of northern Montana
been grouped so successfully. This map
is absolutely accurate. Prof. Morrison,
the well-known mining and typographical
engineer who drew it has been over ev.
cry league of the ground and has been
able to record many streams which will
not be found in any other maps. Among
the Sc is the north fork of the Sun river
which is traced to its source in the Rocky
mountains and shows a continuous river
from that rich mineral region to the
doors of Great Falls. The map covers
the ground from the Sweet Grass hills to
Butte and from the NAN range of the
Rocky mountains to the Milk river coun-
country and the fertile valleys of the Ju-
dith country. mu
Public attention was also given to the
splendid building record of the city last
year, and the admirable list of "facts
about Great Falls" contained in the adver-
isement of the Townsite Company which
gives so tersely mass of practical infor-
nation about the swater power" "tributary
mining fields" "coal, " "iron" and "agri-
culture" The busy business man will
find in these brief but comprehensive
statements enough to rivet his attention.
and he will seek in the special articles
for further information on each point that |
interests him. Secretary Webster thus
displays his good judgment and knowl-
edge OF investors ways in Minneapolis |
Kansas city and others places, whose
growth he has studied by personal obser-
vation. The remarkable "building record"
OF the city, fortified as it is by ample de-
tails, is regarded with general satisfaction
as striking evidence Of the city's growth,
"Cascade county" likewise Interested the
public who are proud Of the young local
government which sprung into existence
by the fiat of the public will.
The miners were specially interested
in the able letter OF General Manager
Shelby who, speaking from experience,
points out the important part which the
Sand Coulee coal will play in the mining
and general industrial development Of
Montana. They also found good reading
in the articles on the reduction works
the great mining regions of Yogo, Nei-
hart and Barker, as well as in the article
descriptive of the Sand Coulee coal fields.
Railroad men, merchants and business
men generally were much interested in
the map showing the position of Great
Falls in relation to the rest of the country,
This map, combined with the official
statements made by the Manitoba and
Central relative to this, consti-
tute mighty interesting reading.

stock-raising, tillage and kindred topics

7iding a full answer to inquiries on these G
subjects. (
