ness Predicted.

To-day the most famous summer and
health resort in the norshwest. the Broad
water, will opsn for it, fifth season. II
will be under the management of A. w.
Campbell, whose record a. m~ansgeTsfor the
visitors from the city as we'll ~ tourists
will find the hotel equal to the best sum
msr resorts In the country. Mr.. Campbelrs
chief assistant in tho office will be G. s.
Tooduin, who Jones TO tho Broadwater
frsm the Baldwin. Of San Francisco. J. B.
Ferguson will be the night clerk. For all tho
various departments Manager Campbell has
e%ndeavored to secure the services Of those
who are thoroughly conversant with the
business. and who will have a care for the
comfort Of the guests. Everything about
tho house has been frightened up, and to-
day the visitor will find the B.oadwater as
fresh looking and inviting as when 1t first
opened. just now the lawns and shrubbery
are at their best. The constant attention
the spacious grounds have received for
the past four years shows this sea-
son to greater advantage than ever
before; the trees are leafnR out lu1uriantly
and the tourists this summer. when they
stop to rest for a few days at the Helena
summer resort will be led to believe that
they nave been waited into a fairy lind.
The flower beds have all been set out. and
in the course Of . few weeks the beautiful
green Of the vslvety lawn will be more
strongly brought out BY the contrast with
the bright-c olorod flowers. The 'lareess
plunge in the world" has been open for
several weeks, and Despite the unusually
cool weather has attracted large crowds.
This season Manager Campbell has decided
to keep the gallery open for the benefit of
those who simply 90 to look on and who
do not care to indulge in the luxury of q
swim In the medicinal waters. II
There is every reason to believe that the
Broadwater will do . larger business this
season than it ever has. Alreadyya num-
Der of tourist parties from across the water
are booked for accommodations, and hun
dreds of wealthy Americana, who usually
spend their summers abroad, will this year
do" western and northwestern America,
taking in the fair. tho Yellowstone. shs
Broadwater. the sound and Alaska. An
other factor in the situation il the fact
that there will DO an immense passenger
traffic from Pacific coast points TO Chicago.
The majority of these Worlds fair visitors
will go east via one route. returning via the
otner, ana either In going or coming will
travel largely By the Northern Pacific.
The railroad has advertised the Broadwater
as thoroughly on the Pacific coast'as il has
on the Atlantic and in Europe, and 90 this
advertising has been continuous for three
years. it will undoubtedly bear moro fruit
this year than IL has heretofore.
MANY people in Helena do not realize
what the BroadwateP 10 to the city a. .
means of attracting the attention Of men
OF wealth from all over the country. There
are two things that always interest tho
visitor or the nan who oontemplatss . visit
to Helena-the stories of the millions in
gold that have been taken out OF Last
Chance Rnloh, and the description of tho
Broadwater grounds and natstorium. The
Il st of these must bs taken largely ON faith
the second is capable of ocular demon
stration, and il always makes . lasting and
favorable i'm %Hsssion. The Broad water not
only deserves ths good will Of every Helena
mar and Of every A%ontanian, but also
their hearty support, and it IL the one thing
to which evsry Citizen of Helena 10 10y al.
and which has the best wishes of every
man, woman and child in tho city for not
only q prosperous season during 1893, but
for many, many years to como.
