tons, Of large industries and d wonderful
degree of enterprise. The surface Of the
surrounding country is a high rolling
prairie. surrounded on three sides by
mountains covered with timber"
1.-THE soil is the same as that of the Red
River valley in Dakota, dark sandy
loan, from foot to three feet in depth,
underlaid with clay. Its wild grasses
produce an unlimited supply Of food for
stock, and when cultivated it yields Won
derfully. We were told of 100 bushels Of
oats to the acre and of so bushels OF
wheat. The climate, modified by the Pa
cific coast winds, is so mild that blowing
is done every month Of the year. They
do not irrigate in this section; the rains
which occur in the spring months and
until July have proved sufficient. Stock
runs out all winter and does we'll. As a
dairy country it must be about perfect"
"Great Falls will furnish home mar
ket to the farmers of Cascade county, in
which the town is located, and Of the sur
rounding country; and then the railroad
connects this section directly with mar
kets. The Montana Smelling company, q
very rich corporation, composed Of few
eastern capitalists, are erecting the largest
smelling works in the world, at cost Of
$2,000000; and capital for various pur.
poses is rapidly flowing into the place.
These advantages can not fail to develop
a large town, but more favorable perhaps
than all is the fact that the town is i'm
mediately backed by solid millions Of
capital that has staked its future upon
the growth Of Great Falls. There is no
boom in connection with the place, but
it is growing because of its natural advan-
tages and according to the conservative
dictations Of capital, and while we found
some Jealousy Of prosperity Of Great
Falls on the part of some other commun-
tiles, it is the result Of misconception.
If today Great Falls were as large as
Chicago, every town within two hundred
miles Of it would feel the beneficial eff
fects. The growth of Great Falls or any
other town in Montana is part of the
growth Of the entire territory. The peo-
pie of Great Falls know how to entertain
strangers. Those desiring to know more
of this wonderful place can address the
secretary Of the Town company, Great
Falls, Mont"
These sentiments do credit to D. W
Wood, whose eloquent speech at the re-
ception prepared us for broad, liberal
estimate of Montana's peerless resources.
We trust that he may revisit the region
soon and give more such information for
the benefit Of the entire American peo-
Pile.

MANITOBA PROGRESS.

The Manitoba railroad is doing nearly
as much work this year as last, although
it is not 30 striking or important. 1t will
complete this year the branch from Wa
tertown to Huron, Dakota, which may be
extended in time to the Missouri and the
reservation that is to be opened soon. It
will also complete the branch, 100 miles
long, from Wilmar to Sioux Falls. This
branch may be extended to Yankton,
Dakota, and thence into Nebraska. In
due time it may be the trunk line which
Duluth has so long desired to the broad
plans of southern Nebraska and the city
of Denver, where it would meet the nu-
merous lines that concentrate there. In
addition to these lines the Manitoba will
complete this season the road from Hinck-
ley to West Superior and Duluth, which
will give it a short, direct line of its own
to Lake Superior, where the Northern
Light and the company's other steamers
will be at hand to carry grain to Buffalo
As usual, the advance Of the Manitoba
is initiating other projects. There is talk
of railroad from Omaha or Council
Bluffs along the river to meet the Mani
toba there. Sioux City, Iowa, which is a
growing place, wants road to Marshall,
Minnesota, where it would meet the
. Manitoba and thus obtain easy access to
st. Paul or more directly to Duluth.
This road would be 80 miles long.
1t may be seen from these details that
the Manitoba continues to hold the first
rank as progressive northwestern sYkss-
longer dependent on the grain traffic for
the bulk Of its fall business, It is be-,
coming national in its aims and is ia II
fair way to be powerful agency IN the
development of the northwest as we'll as

pretext to European powers for that in

Minneapolis, which grinds flour for the

the city the use of steam power for in
dustrial purposes is also large. 1t is used
in saw mills, barrel factories and print

tlcally that when steam power is used
here at the smelter or elsewhere it is in,
tended to supplement the use of water
power, and not as a substitute for it.
