Intelligent Gentleman Rccites
some of the Advantages of Il
Residence in Great Falls.
Possesses Every Advantage Other
cities Claim and a Great Many
That They DO Not.
,a.ons Why WOrkingmen Should
Cast Ballot for the City of
Great Falls for Capital.

commend me to a city where capital
M labor 60 hand in hand, where the
orchant. the manufacturer and the
I,ofessional man are in sympathy with
tp wage -earners; where the sentiment
uinst the exclusion of Chinese always
,s been and will continue to be upper
ost in the mind of every citizen;
here bond of common sympathy
mites the people, and where every sub
pct looking to its future is given careful
boupht by the residents" said Il con
lractor in Great Falls yesterday.
i am more than pleased that my lot
Ias been cast in this city. and feel that
Inv lines have fallen in pleasant places.
Bstore engaging in my present business,
and while at work at my trade. have
ris,ed and lived in every town of promi
uerce in the west. Early in the sixties
crossed the plains, and after few years
| in California | went to Omaha. Then
uben the Black Hills eycit ement broke
ort went there, from there to Lead
| rifle, then to Butte. Anaconda. Granite
and Helena and thence to Great Falls.
| and in all my varied experience | have
|hund no place to suit me so well. This
| cty will be the largest place between
|Nlnneapolis and San Francisco in ten
Years from today.
Il want to ask any intelligent man to
call to mind another place in Montana
that has the resources and advantages
which Great Falls has. Butte is the
rreatest mining camp on earth, Bozc-
man is situated in the midst of fertile
agricultural region. Helena has an adj
vantageous location and is the home of
men who own vast interests IN other
parts Of the state, Anaconda is the site
q one of the largest smelling plants in
the world. and Deer Lodge has the pret-
tsst location of any city IN the state, but
Great Falls has all the advantages the
cher places claim, but unlike them is
not dependent for its future upon any
single industry.
Contiguous we have the great mineral
deposits. and an idea Of their magnitude,
variety and wealth may be Cleaned from
the collection Professor Morrison now
has on exhibition in the Realty block.
We have the inexhaustible coal deposits
Of Sand Couee, the Belt mountains and
Milk river. We are surrounded by an
area of agricultural land which is fertile
beyond description, and the great water
power here will prove in itself factor
that will go to make a city. The variety
Of resources is only equalled by the faith
Of the promoters of the city. They
builded wisely. and the fruitiOn Of their
nope is not only near at hand. but their
most sanguine expectations will be sur
passed beyond description.
Il ran not understand why. when the
question of location of the permanent
seat of government Of this state is up
for consideration. anyone should hesitate
how TO vote. | realize that there are
mer living in other cities who have their
every interest there and who will nat
uHly make it their choice. But while
this is true those men can not deny that
Great Falls has superior claims t. the
home of their choice. Eastern ana
nOrthern Montana is being rapidly peO-
