HAIL TO MONTANA!
MON rANA

Montana IL now u state In the Union
and represents bright star in the blue
field Of the flag, Montana is pregnant
with possibilities excelled BY none Of the
the other new states. She stands at the
head Of the precious metal producing
states. Her output last year exceeded
*33, ,O0O, 900 as against $28, ,OO0, 900 for Col
orado, $12,OO0,0O0 for California aud 49,
100000 for Nevada. Despite this enor-
nous output, the great new common
wealth Of the north has scarcely been
prospected. Il is rich in coal and the
baser metals are as bountiful as the pre-
cious. 1t has immense agricultural pos
sibIlities, the soil being fertile and water
abundant. Her mountains and valleys
are covered with dense forests and her
natural water power is beyond computa-
tion in value. In agricultural and manu-
featuring industries Montana rivals Penn
sylvania in her possibilities and has her
gold, silver, copper and lead besides.
The climate Is better than that Of the
Keystone state the year around, though
some cold waves are encountered oocas-
sionally in the winter months. It Is safe
to predict that Montana will grow In pop
ulation and develop In manufacturing
more rapidly than any other of the four
new states. She has great natural advan-
tages ana . pushing, forceful people who
have framed for themselves and adopted
most enlightened constitution upon
which they will build wise and progress

season of the year. Bands Of antelope
and some deer are still found on the
prairies and among the foothills. In
more remote districts game is still plenti-
full. Prairie chickens, grouse, bear, coy
otes, deer, beaver, otter and mountain cat
are still found by the hunter and trapper.
The Missouri river and its tributary
creeks, as we'll as many rivers, are cover
ed in season with water fowl, including
ducks, geese, swans and other varieties
These birds remain in the streams about
six Or eight weeks during each Of their
annual migrations. @ .."
In addition t., these sources Of enjoy
ment is the Valeria library, which is
we'll provided with new publications.
Private hospitality is generous and
and warm. 1t retains the heartiness of
early times in Montana, when the right
hand of fellowship was extended to every
.'pilgrlm" who came, In good faith, to aid
in establishing the new commonwealth.

HOW TO MAKE MONEY.

The leading question In eastern and
mid-western homes is: "How can we
make more money!" It is not greed that
inspires this inquiry, but desire to
enjoy what Burns calls .'the glorious
privilege Of being independent" With
ont going into detail we will give some
"pointers" for busy readers, with the
view of showing them how to make
money in Montana.
/. Land-Money has been made by
rauchmen or farmers in north Montana.
Most of them came here. without money
at time when the population was sparse
and there were no railroads. They took
up claims-that is tracts of 100 acres-of
the public land and by raising hay, wheat.
potatoes and other farm produce were
able to live in comfort themselves and
put some money by for a rainy day. The
opportunities are now better than ever.
There is plenty OF good public land with
in moderate distance of railroads. A
great deal of land can be had along the
line of railroad, Farm and dairy produce
sells at good prices. The home market
is large and is increasing constantly. The
copper emelter will in itself provide a
home market for much farm produce,
for the thousands of workmen employed
there will be steady consumers. Horses,
farm implements, furniture are cheaper

PUBLIC ADJUSTMENTS.

its warming influences in winter.
PUBLIC ADJUSTMENTS.
The proverbial results Of all work and
no play make people desirous for infor-
nation about public amusements as well
as about the soil and climate of new re-
gions.
The pleasure loving people Of Great
Falls have wide opportunities to spend
we'll their leisure moments. The Town.
site company have provided beautiful
parks which are thickly set with vigor-
Gus young trees. These parks front the
river for more than mile and will in a
short time be the pride Of the city. This
gift to the city is only one example of
the liberality of the Townsite company.
Just west Of the city tile river broadens
until it is over 600 yards in width. The
dam furnishing power for the Cataract
mill, obstructs the river just here, form
ing above it, a beautiful bay or luke
through which flows the entire volume Of
the Missouri. This beautiful sheet Of
water extends up the river for several
miles and forms IN ideal boating ground.
Advantage is taken Of this beautiful
body of water by the Great Falls boat
club, which has as fine lot If pleasure
boats and canoes rs will lie found in the
east. Boats are also kept on hire for
those who desire to participate in the
pleasure. At times during the winter
this bay affords fine sknting ground, but
this wlnte: some of the public spirited
citizens provided I'M artificial skating
rink in the town. Here during the VIM
ter evenings groups of old and young. may
be seen gliding rapidly over the CLASSY
surface and enjoying themselves as only
the merry skaters know how.
In all directions the roads are excellent
for drivin while from any neighboring
hill top the observer may look with ad
miration across boundless grassy plains
upon the snowy heads of four ranges of
mountains. Excellent roads lead to the
falls and other objects Of interest. Hence
driving and sight seeing ARE favorite pas
times. In summer picnica are common.
The various churches give sociables,
concerts and evening entertainments 1t
frequent intervals, thus ahording the
newcomer good opportunities to meet
the best people Of the town. At these
> soctables the stranger is not allowed to
sit in corner alone, but is taken in hand
aud soon made to feel that the people are
interested in his success, welfare and en-
tertainment.
The Park theatre, commodious and
comfortable building, is the pioneer
amusement house in Grea. Falls.
Germ & Davenport, the managers, are
specialists and have secured the services
Of a number Of Hrst-clasa artists. The
house receives good patronage. 1t has
an efficient bras band.
Lovers Of terpsichorean art also find
ample opportunity for amusement. The
Gibson Light Guards and the fire depart
ment give popular balls, which ars noeed
for the large attendance and sayety. The.

Many men now own ranches or
farms who began life us laborers.
They made enough money at their trades
to support them them while they lived on
their claims until it was time to prove up.
The prospects for industrious, temperate
men were never better in Montana.
When any particular trade becomes over.
crowded it is easy for workmen to find
employment in other localities which IRE
readily accessible.

Edison foresees great future for
electricity. In reply to an inquirer he
says: .'You ask me about the future Of
electricity. 1t Is the coming motive
power. It will be used ON all railroads
some day, but the point is to get an econ
omical engine. My theory is to have im-
mense dynamos located all along the line
Of the road and have the electricity con.
veyed from these stationary engines to
the locomotives by wires through the
rails. For example, ! would put two big
engines between New York and Fhila-
delphia, and enough power would be
furnished to whisk the limited ut the rate
of 100 miles per hour" At Great Falls
electricity will find full scope when the
mighty water power Of the Missouri pro-
duces II in almost llmitless quantity.
