page of The INDEPENDENT. The stmatt
armory, Turner hall, and many mammoth
warehouses and buildings of industrdy ear
the Northern Pacific railroad woul have to
be included, besides hundreds of dwellings
north of the depot. The Northern Pacific
ties at a cost OF $4,000. This company has
thirty miles of track IN its Helena yard.
The realty transactions of the two years
run into the millions, and property has in
creased in value SO per cent. Two years ago
Helena had five banking houses. Now it
has eight. with combined capital of ST.
225,OOO. The assessed valuation of the city
is $2A, OoO. OO0. and the tax levy only FIVE and
one-half mills. The population is 1900,
thus leaving the per capita wealth greater
than of any city i'll the world.
In the matter of hotels there is probably
no city in the country that has better IA
cilities for the accommodation of visitors.
the word implies. with combined capacity
of $50 rooms. These have all been acquired
in the past year, and represent a combined
investment of more than half a million dol
lars.
From all this it will be readily observed
that Helena occupies grand position. 1t
is the unparalleled region which lies around
prominence she holds. Helena is
point, the home of the capitalist. the
center of social life and enjoyment, the
busy focus Of railway traffic, the money
mart and the one natural distributing
medium for all that is needed to foster and
build up the ever increasing and numerous
sources of industry and trade that encircle
her for distance of 200 miles. With such
wonderfully rich and productive territory
as this, it is no marvel that Helena has
made such progress. Helena is the home
as we'll as the market for an army of con-
sumers, which next year will double in
number and proportional!y add to the city g
greatness. Probably few figures would
best illustrate what has been done in
Helena within two years in the way of per-
manent improvements and few items are
here presented:

Where Helena People Have Been Shod 70 r
Many Years.
The Big Boot which has looked down
upon SO many happy Christmases in Helena
is still in its old place over John r. Drew's
Main street shoe store, and will be this year
as it has many previous ones. Hundreds
pass under it during the merry Christmas
time, into the store over which it keeps
watch and ward. If that old Boot could
only talk. how many things it could tell of
other Christmas seasons in Helena. The
matron who will pass under it this week,
with little one by her side the Big Boot
will remember as the child. whose father or
mother now passed away. brought it to the
same store for Christmas pair of Shoes
among the throng who go to Drew's
in the number. There will be the Young
lady with the dainty foot. who wears an
equally dainty boot to cover it. Then will
come the matrOn who wants something
solid and substantial, and with plenty of
room. There will be also the young man
who wants handsome shoe and his father.
who Will only have one two sizes too large.
and who cares more for comfort than for
looks. Along towards the latter part of the
week the miner and the ranchman will care

the Big Boot will recognize old friends.
The Big Boot has seen the house over
which it stands guard grow and prosper
each year and its fame extend farther and
farther. This year it should be particularly
pleased, because Mr.. Drew has one of the
largest and finest stocks of goods ever
shown in Montana. for all sorts and condi-
lions OF people He is going to make a spe-
cial discount on heavy goods for somo
days to come. and the Big Boots old
friends will have an opportunity to gain
thereby. Then the ladies, who always look
at the Big Boot when they go down town.

CoTToN SHIrMENT.-A few weeks ago we gave the number of bales of cotton shipped from Prescott and Hope, when we were ahead. The Hope Gazette made light of our fig ures at the time though they were of- iicial, from railroad agent here. In the last issue of the Gazette were figures showing that place to be ahead, and we might become "breezy' and make fun of his figures and town, as he always docs toward us and Prescott, but as it is no argu- ment, we refrain. We make it a rule to write nothing but what can be substantiatcd, and refrain from exaggeration. Hope may be ahead of us now in number of bales cotton shipped, but twas not so q few weeks since. Another thing, Pres colt has shipped over 500 bales to the compress at Hope, so our agent in- forms us. and, as it had to be re- shipped, was doubtless counted by the Gazette, this would still put us way ahead.

THE DI-TY on TIN PLATES.

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir; Your CORE spondent, Joseph Byrne, Is sahiS

never made I'm this country, and that duty OF 80
cents per pound will not insure their manuia'."rc
here This IS not true, nor is it true that rom
" COO 600 10 100000 people use tin plate as raw
material, Tin plates are the finest finished pr"luctS

Tin plates " like paper have become common
necessity, but their production In the Chlted states
must and will be made possible only by adequate
protective rates Of duty. Sensible Americans prefer
to have their common necessities supplied By home

The assertion that the only argument for the liz
creased duties is that a employ for l3,OOO

At an average Of 800 per capita, this new INDUSTRY IN
the United States would mean support for 10000
people. The average net profits are far below per

incidental consumption of the products OF other IN
dustries. .
Your able editorials have given your readers the
