The executive committee have entered
upon their duties fully impressed with
the heavy responsibilities which the
board OF trade has placed upon them and
they seek the hearty CO operation of all
the business men Of this city in the
work which they have undertaken. They
are the servants of the board of trade
and are anxious at all times to have su@-
gestions from all sources, and the full
and hearty sympathy of the entire public.

into a common channel for a common

the board of trade is concerned each and
every member should feel that the pub

Personal ends and private profit should

The future prospects of Great Falls
depend in no slight degree upon the
courage, the faith, the wisdom. and the
untiring emery with which this board
of trade undertakes and prosecutes this
year, without faltcring. even in the face
of the greatest obstacles. the work wait
ing to be done. Great Falls possesses
natural advantages and resources which
should make it the most prominent city
in the west-the center to which capital
and labor should flow from all parts
of the world. The time is
rIpe for energetic work up
on the part of the board of trade to bring
this about, and it can only be brought
about by energetic, united, intelligent
work. There are
so MANY RICH RESOURCES
undeveloped which may be made to aid
in the building Of this city on broad
foundations, that the forces at the com
nand Of the Great Falls board Of trade
could profitably be exerted in the line of
almost any of them. But the executive
committee is profoundly impressed with |

and families which come here to make |
