FACTS!
BY
F. V. SMALLEY,
-OF-
ST. PAUL, MINI.
-BN-
F. V. SMALLEY,

Missoula has now at least A.
500 people, and is growing at a
rate that will bring it up to Io,-
600 by the end of 1891. New
and important developments have
taken place in the railway situa-
ton in Western Montana. They
are making of NIissoula a great
transportation center, and are
going soon to give it the control
of the trade of large regions of
country which have heretofore
been cut off from it by formidable
mountain barriers.
AT Missoula the Hell Gate
river is formed by the Bitter
Root, which forms one of the
most beautiful and fertile of all
the valleys in the Rocky Noun
tains-a valley 100 miles long,
with a width of from two to seven
miles, and with large resources
in its irrigated farms, its silver
mines and its forests Of pine and
spruce.
The Bitter Root is the only
fruit-growing valley in all Mon
tana.
NIissoula is the county seat OF a
county that embraces the whole
of Northwestern Montana, with
an area of 1000 square miles.
1t is larger than the state of
Massachusetts,.
Missoula occupies one of the
most beautiful sites ever prepared
by nature for the uses of a large
town. 1t is called the Garden
City from its gardens, orchards
and towns.
Missoula is becoming one OF
the most important points on the
Northern Pacific system.
The Bitter Root Valley branch
diverges here and runs up the
valley fifty miles TO Grantsdale.
1t will soon be extended about
forty miles further, to the head of
the valley. The new cutoff line
to the Cnur d'Alene mining
towns, also leaves the main line
at Missoula. This road already
partly finished will effect saving
of sixty-fve miles in distance over
the present route, and will as a
consequence become the route of
the through trains TO the Pacific
coast. The Northern Pacific has
projected a line through the Flat
head valley to the fine agricul-
tural region and the coal fields
north of Flathead Lake. This
road will be about / 50 miles long,
and there is no question as to
its early construction. The Wash
ington and Idaho line, already
completed as far east as Mullan,
has been located to Missoula.
The Great Northern has deter
mined to start this year for the
Pacific Coast. One survey, and
the easiest for crossing the Rock
les, takes the road up to the Dear
born river, through Cadets Pass,
and down the Big Blackfoot to
Missoula. Should a northern
route be selected the development
of farms and mines and lumber
industries in the northern part ol
Missoula county that would fol-
low, could not fail 10 be of great
benefit to the city.
During the past year the out
put of lumber from the Missoula
district amounted to So,ooo,ooo
feet, and the industry employed
nearly 1000 men.
The best coal yet discovered
in western Montana is found in
the upper valley of the Flathead
river, north of Missoula.
Petroleum has been discovered
north of Flathead Lake.

SOUTH DAKOTA RETURNS
Mellette and the Entire Republican
Ticket Probably Elected by
Small MajOrities.
Bulletins Received at Pierre Indicate
Their Victory For the Capital.
Huron Still Has Hopes.

PIERRE, S. D., Nov. 5.-There was the
most intense excitement in Pierre
Tuesday night, and the attempt to pic
ture it would be impossible. Bulletins
from every quarter of the state were
coming fast, and every one indicated
Pierre's large and increasing majority
for the permanent capital of South
Dakota. Conservative estimates placed
it at 900 out of 10000 votes cast. The
multitude who thronged every street
were crazy with joy, and bands, cannon,
bells, bontires and everything magma
BILE were brought out to add zest to the
scene. Parades were formed and
marched through every street, and
there was no let up until morning. All
thought of politics was forgotten, and
no one knows how the vote of the
city on anything but the capital went,
and no one cares. It is the most intense
jubilation in the history of Pierre, and
the scene pictured here was rarely ever
seen. No definite returns can yet be
had,
