commissioner of immigration, and that no
concerted action has been mado to advsr-
tise the advantages and resources OF this
o~cality to the capitalists of the east or the
citizens OF the old void. but compa'a-
lively few outside Of our own territorial

vestments in Montana properties.

quarters for their citizens. Most of these
buildings are mall in size, and under favor

attention, and when placed in the imme-
diato neiGhborhood of those magnificent

buildings of the Worlds Columbian EXPOSE
ton. and which are the wonder and admira-
ton of all who have seen them. they will
pass unnotlced.
