prevail of Gov. j. E. Richards. the

The citizens Of the state of Montana are
aware of the fact that its progress and de-
velopment for the past fifteen years hns
been second to no state in the union. Ow-
ing to the fact that we have never had a
commissioner Of immigration, and that no
concerted action has been mado to adver-
tise the advantages and resources OF this
ocality to the capitalists of the east or the
citizens of the old void. but compaI a.
lively few outside of our own territorial
limitations are adequately impressed with
our im portance.

united effort to call the attention of capital
to the advantages to be derived from in
vestments in Montana properties.
Manv of the states of the union have
erectf d, within the confines of jackson
park, Chicago, a state building as head
quarters for their citizens. Most of these
buildings are small in size, and under favor

attention, and when placed in the imme-
date neighborhood of those magnificent
architectural piles which 90 to make up the
buildings of the Worlds Columbian exposi-
tion. and which are the wonder and admire
sion of all who have seen them. they will
pass unnoticed.
