The Canadian Pacific Finds R0uts

~ Ohio Plans-N0tes.

There passed through Helena yesterday
on the Northern Pacific a party Of twenty
eight settlers from Ohio, bound tor WASH
ington state. Seattle is their objective
point, and from there they will scatter to
various parts of the state in search Of new
homes. This is the fourth party Of home
seekers which the Northern Pacific has car
ried through Helena in a very short time.
Ono party came from Kansas and Missouri,
another from the southern part of Minnesota
and one from further east. There is no
question but that IL the owners of some Of
the irrigating canals in Montana could go
to work systematically, they could induce
quite a large number Of substantial farm
ora fromithS east am south to settls in this
state. SfaIking with aa advance agent Of a
big party " prospective settlers the other
day, he told the writer that before he came
to Montana he had a n idea that all We did
here was to mine and raise cattle and sheep.
He had the barest sort Of knowledge OF the
advantages Of irrigation for ensuring crops,
and when he was told what a great home
market there ia in Montana, Of the pro-
ductiveness of the soil, and tho good prices
farmers receive for their grain and vegeta-
bles, he was much astonished. There is a
big field in this direction for legitimate en-
terprise, and the railroads will be found
quite willing to do their part if the canal
owners will do theirs.
Montana Union Cutting Down Its Force
