The Kansas City Visitors Are Taking In
the Sights Of tho National
Park.
Unlike some Of her western sisters. Hell
ena has no surplus population-evsry man
able and willing to work can find employ
ment at good wages. The fact that Lewis
and Clarke county, including Helena, with
a population of 5000, has at present less
than twenty paupers on it, county farm,
speaks volumes for the general prosperity
of our people.
A number Of the leading retail business
men have been interviewed this week and
their views obtained upon the general out
look. The common opinion of these men ID
that the volume of business has largely in
creased during the past six months and
that the merchants of Helena are more
than holding their own in the markets of
the territory tributary to this city.
The outlook for the continuance of build
ing operations for some weeks to come is
very favorable. A member of leading
firm of architects expressed himself as be-
ing we'll satisfied with the season. He was
also of the opinion that the present good
weather would continue during October, in
which event number of buildings now in
course of construction will be completed
before the cold weather sets in. This view
is also shared by number of others who
have broken ground and have excavations
for foundations we'll under way.
The visitors from Kansas City who were
received by the real estate men of Helena
were very favorably impressed with the
capital city and its surroundings. During
the week they we're taken to the Broad
water where they were rendered banquet.
They were also guests of the Montana CLUB
at reception rendered them shortly after
their arrival. The party were also taken to
Marysyille where they were the guests of
Mr.. and Mrs. r. 7. Bayliss, of the Drum
Lummon mine. This famous wealth pro
Queer was inspected by the visitors, and the
workings of the large stamp mills were also
explained to the party. At present most OF
the Kansas City people are on trip to the
city. Those who are in natures wonder
land will return this week and will make
some further Investigations as to the IN
ducements offered here for the investment
of capital.
The transactions among local dealers
have been much better the past week. the
tone of the market being very encouraging
at this period of the year.
Wallace g. Thornburgh report crafty
ing increase in volume OF business during
the past week. There has been good de-
mand for all the classes of property dealt
in by this firm. Three houses have been
sold, besides numerous lois ana one acre
amount of building that has been done
this summer it is hard to find houses to
rent east of Rodney street. If this scarcity
be any criterion, our population must be
growing rapidly:
