will be more generally brought to the at
tention Of the people Of the United States
this year than ever before. Principal
among the agents that will aid in this work
are the three conventions that will meet
here this summer. The A. 0. u. w. execu-
tive committee several months ago sent to
the 4,7O0 subordinate lodges of the order in
the United States a circular relating to the
convention to be held in June. a~ndsrequest-
ing that as far as possible the circular be
published in the local papers. Supreme
Master Workman kinsley says sha5 al
ready he has received 1900 papers contain
ing the notice. in l.early all OF when there
is a complimenting notice of Helena ana
the state in general. Now the leading rail-
roads of the country are issuing handsome
folders. describing Helena, Butte, Great
Falls. Missoula, Bozeman, and Livingston,
the various hot springs and pleasure re-
sorts, and telling of the resources of me
state. Altogether not less than 100000 OF
these folders will he issued, ana every
travelling passenger agent ls to-day dls-
tributing them over the country.
Secretary b. Brown, OF the executive
committee Of the National Mining con
oress. which meets in Helena in July, Will
sand ont 81, 1000 circulars Of various kinds
relating to the congress-, and all Of them
will give some information about she re-
sources Of the state. For this convention
the railroads will also issue folders after
the same style as those for the 4. Y. ". w.
The Sons Of Veterans annual enoamp-
ment in August will be almost II not qu'te
as we'll advertised BY the railroads, ana tne
local posts all over the Uniten States Will
aid in the good work.
The Northern Pacific railroad has issued
so. 600 handsome folders on Helena and the
Broadwater hotel, that are now being put
into the hands of tourists and capitalists IN
the United States and Europe. Tn Union
Pacific is now getting up q folder also de-
voted to Helena and Butte, and $4,000 OF
these will be distributed. This Is In add
ton to that roads most complete desorlp-
tive pamphlet on Montana, 100000 OF which
will be Gil culated this ssring and summer.
The Great Northern ID going to issue a
folder devoted to Helena, and it also Will
be given a wide circulation. Besides, every
month that line issues a bulletin, in which
Montana occupies a prominent position,
and OF which thousands OF copies are
issued. ,
Another factor We may count on this
wear to bring Montana to the notice Of the
country, is Kings Handbook Of the United
States.n This is a book Of nearly q thou
sand pages, brought down TO the end OF
1891, containing a correct map OF every
state in the union, and with just the 1n1or-
nation about each commonwealth that
hnsineas men. investors and settlers desire.
It is sold for $3.50 q copy, and has already
attained a circulation of over 100000
copies. The article on Montana makes
twelve full pages, and is complete and cor
rect in overy detail. 1t gives its history, a
description OF the physical features. mono
TENS, scenic attractions, pleasure resorts
and mineral springs. The article on Helena
is particularly good, saying in part: 1T IS
no longer the old mining camp, but
ranks among the brightest and most hope
full and enterprising OF western c!sies, ana
size in the world. It has a dry and invie..
Grating atmosphere, with Over 25O days OF
sunshine in a year. 1t is a healthy climate,
free from consumption, malaria or hay
fever" Referring to the products of the
state. the article places their valus Ct sou
600, 900, 'or nearly $500 for each inhabl-
tant. man. woman and child. 1t is claimed
that no other country in the world can show
an equal product for it's population Ihe
book, which is published by the Matthew'S
Northrup COMPANY, of Buffalo, ls a stahd-
ard AUTHORITY, and will do a great deal for
the state as q whole and Helena in %partlcu-
lar.
Another thing that will bring Montana
to the attention, more particularly, of cap
~italists in the east, is the establishment OF
Montana headquarters on Wall street. New
York, by r. A. Harlow and f. r. Wallace.
This is in no sense q partnership arrange
ment. but Helena and Montana will reap
whatever advantage may 1nure to the
work OF these gentlemen in the east. The
proposition is to have in the Wall street
office reliable information, in printed form
when possible, showing the mineral. agrl-
cultural, stock growing and other resources.
Also the extent to which irrigation enter
prises have been or may be carried, railway
building probabilities, the past growth Of the
cities Of the state, their situation, city and
county indebtedness, rate of taxation, as
sessable wealth and other information de-
sired by the capitalist before he invests. At
the same time either Mr.. Harlow or Mr..
Wallace will take up ana bring to the at
tention of men of means any enterprise
brought to them that needs only capital tc
develop and make profitable. These gentle
men will"reach a class scarcely touched by
the first named methods OF advertising,
who now know very little about Montana,
but who, if favorablv impressed, will do a
great deal toward building it up.
