The laws Of Montana are especIalIy in Enc
interest OF wage workers. They give them
performance and make their wages a lien
Tor all sums earned sixty days prior to any
assignments to the extent OF 5000. The
same preference is given to claims for
wages against the estates oil deceased per
sons, coming in first after the expenses OF
the funeral, the last sickness and OF ad
lstration and legal allowance to the widow
and infant children. Also in case of execu-
lions, attachments and writs of a similar
nature issued against any person, orpora-
ton, association, c~O-partnership or chart
cred company, upon the claimant making
affidavit to his Or her claim. and filing the
same with the sheriff or other executive
officer charged with the execution OF such a
writ.
The constitution of Montana, just adopt
ed by the people by an almost unanimous
vote, contains the following article in the
interest OF labor: "The legislative body
may provide a bureau of agriculture. labor
and industry, to be located at the capital
and be under the controlof a commissioner
appointed by the governor. subject to the
approval OF the senate. 1t shall be unlaw-
fol for the warden or other officer OF any
state penitentiary or i~eformatory institu-
ton in the state of Montana, or for any
state officer to let by contract to any per-
son or persons or corporation, the labor
OF any convict within eaid institutions"
For the reason that the provisions OF law
above quoted are in force, and hat the
mining and other Industries of Montana
are as profitable as anywhere in the world,
we have NJ scarcity OF laborers. They are
well paid and are happy and contented. If
q mechanic or laberer has worked here for
five years, and has not squandered his
earnings, it Is almost the rare exception if
he does not own his own house or lot.

Public Buildings.

The only public building in the territory
the property Of the United States, OF any
Importance is the United States assay
office in Helena. This with it's well kept
grounds is in perfect order and is well cared
for.
The pe%nitentiary at Deer Lodge is also
the property of the government at present
but under the provisions of the enabling
act admitting Montana as a state in the
union, it will loon become the property oil

and o herwise improved in order hat il
may meet the wants of the community. II

No census OF the population OF the terri
tory having been taken since 1880, it car
only lie estimated from such sources OF in.
formation as are usually relied upon in
such cases. The census OF 1880 show wed the
population OF the territory to be 80, 159;
since that year there has been a constant
influx OF immigration; and while the coun
ties OF Silver Bow, Lewis and Clarke, Deer
Lodge and Missoula show the most pro.
nounced increase, yet every portion OF the
territory has p~erceptibly FELT it's influence.
Thetotal vote OF the territory for delegate to
congress in November, 1888, was 40, OLA;
basing an estimate OF the total population
upon this vote, and allowing one vote for
every four inhabitants, would give vi q to-
tai population Of 100000. 10 this should
DO added the Indian population of the ter.
ritory which is estimated at $4,000, and
also the emigration into the, territory for
t year 1889. which is officially given by
t Q railroad companies at 10, $50, making
a total Of 1S5,306 on the both day OF
J ne, 1889. This in my opinion is q very
conservative figure and 1 am fully con-
WINGED that the census OF 1890 will show a
OF considerably more than
two hundred thousand souls.

T ASSESSMENT

In connection with this statement it must
be remembered that property is not taxed
at over so per cent. OF it's true value, and
that our mines, which constitute the larg'
sst productive industry and represents
millions of dollars of market value, only
pay a tax on their net output and surface
value at government price, and the value
Of mills and other improvements erected
thereon.
Taking this into consideration and plac
ing other property at its true value, the
total wealth OF Montana today may safely
be placed at the magnificent figure OF $3.50,
900, 00O-a showing that cannot be equaled
by the same number OF people elsewhere on
the face OF the globe. As hereinafter re-
ferred to, the territory has no indebted
ness whatsoever. The aggregate indebt.
peso OF her sixteen counties is ST. 00, 900,
mostly incurred in the erection OF court
houses and other buildings and in con
struggling roads and bridges. Only one
county in the territory has ever made de
FAULT in payment OF interest on It's bonded
debt and that county is now numbered
among the most prosperous in the terri
tory, amply able and promptly meeting al
it's Tia bilities and it's financial standing is az
coed as any county in the territory.
