has been built in which Is the finest opera
house in the state. and just across the
street from II stands THE Bozeman" a
magnificent four-story hotel building,
monument Of the generosity and enter
prise of the citizens Of Boseman. Along
Main street stands several large brick
business blocks which gracefully adorn
the lots wnere but year ago stood old
frame buildings decayed by time and
shattered by the elements. Along the
different streets and avenues neat cot
tages and handsome residences have
sprung up bcautifying and showing
life and activity where but a year
ago the eyes OF the observer galed
upon vacant lots.
Over four hundred thousand dollars
have been spent in improvements. The
beauties OF the city and opportunities for
profitable inv estments are now seen and
appreciated by people from abroad.
Thousands Of dollars have boen invested
in Bozeman real estate by outsiders. The
people at home are enthused with new
vigor and activity. New enterprises and
ventures are being entered into with zeal
and assurance. Aud with this general
increased business activity the moral,
educational and general welfare OF the
city is being cared for. The Boseman
academy Is prospering just before the
old year took its flight sufficient amount
was raised to start hospital. Upon
every hand signs OF progress are seen.
The old year threw the city into the
arms of the new fully equipped and robed
10 maintain and adorn that lofty position
in the rank of cities which she is destined
so soon 10 enjoy. She enters the care OF
this guardian year, full Of confidence, full
OF pride and full OF expectation. And no
wonder the hearts OF our people are glad
to-day. The jingle OF the bells, the crack
of the whips aud the pcals Of laughter,
the ! ests and jokes Of tho merry makers
are but expressions of quiet Joy which
peryades the whole city. Ii is true there
are instances where time cut down rela-
tIves and friends, and some hearts are
sore because of absent ones, but as clti-
zens all have cause 10 rejoice.
| OThe citizens of Butte, noticing the signs
Of the times, are investing heavily in
BoEeman real estate, and these energetic
real estate men are doing much 10 bring
10 light Bozeman' true worth, advantages
and possibilities. And besides any pecu-
MARY attachment which may exist be-
tween the two cities a friendship has
sprung up and Is being fostered by an in
terchange OF kindness and mutual benefit.
With this great mining camp as q sup
porter and friend the next New Year will
give BoIeman the state capital. Bozeman
is in the race 20 stay and will not bend
meath the bowling storm, but will press
on and win the fight.
The present year will be q continuation
Of past activity and enterprise, aud the
changes and Improvements which instill
this sense Of security and excite these
gaities arc but the beginning Of q series
OF improvements and advances, and are
light TO those OF year hence. when
Boreman will greet another new year with
greater improvements, larger area, more
densely populated streets, and brighter
robes. Sweetly she will fondle the presen,
year; gently she'll conjure the power tha,
makes cities great; wisely take advantage
Of opportunities, and diligently improve
the time. Let none obstruct the path 10
the goal she is striving TO reach, but en-
courage, stimulate and applaud her ef'
forts, and hasten her on in her bright
career.
