Missoula has now at least a.
500 people, and is growing at a
ate that will bring it up to Io,-
300 by the end of 1891. New
md important developments have
aiken place in the railway situa-
ion 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 He'll 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.
Alissoula is the county seat Of
county that embraces the whole
of Northwestern Montana, with
an area OF 1900 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
ard towns.
Nisscua is becoming one OF
The most important points on the
Northern Pacific system.
The Bitter Root Valley branch
aivcrges here and runs up the
valley iifty miles to Grantsdale.
Ii will soon he extended about
forty miles further, to the head Of
The valley. The new cutoff line
to the Cuur d'Alcnc mining
towns, also leaves the main line
at Alissoula. This road already
partly finished will effect a saving
Of siXtv-iive 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 line through the Flat
head valley to the fine agricul-
tuial region and the coal fields
north of Flathcad Lake. This
road will be about $50 miles long,
and there is no question as to
It's 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
Paoiic 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 of
Missoula county that would fol-
low, could not fail to be of great
benefit 10 the city.
During the past year the out
put of lumber from the Missoula
district amounted TO $4,000, 900
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.
