This club has the endorsement and ap-
prevail OF Gov. J.. E. Richards, the

able citizens.
The citizens of tho state of Montana are
aware of the fact that its progress and de-
velopment for the past fifteen years has
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 cap italists of the east or the
citizens of the old wo.ld. but compare
lively few outside of our own territorial
limitations are adequately impressed with
our Importance.
It ia now thought advisable to make a
united effort to call the attention of capital
to the advantages TO be derived from in
vestments in Montana properties.
Many of the states of the union have
erected. within the confines of jackson
park, Chicago, Il state building as head-
quarters for their citizens. Most of these
buildings are small in size, and under favor
able circumstances we'd / attract but little
attention, and when ~aed in the imme-

architectural piles which 90 to make up the
buildings of the Worlds Columbian EXPOSE
tion. and which are the wonder and admirR-
tion of all who have seen them. they will
pass unnoticed.
1t ia probably understood by all that each
of these state buildings is within tho grounds

Headquarters club to provide a COD

various business enterprises, which adver-
