THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
CLIMATE As A DRAWING CARD.
FRIDAY. MAY 10. 1893.

Too little has been done in the line OF
making known tho advantages oil Mon
tana as a resort for persons in search OF
haalth. Referring to facts cited by
Julian Ralph in n of his articles IN
Harper's Magazine, the Helena lndepen-
dent says on this subject:
Thirty thousand people who went to
Colorado from the rigorous climate Oh
the east to cure weak lungs ana other
ailments, made Denver the pushing
thriving city that it is, said an DC resi-
dent of the mountain metropolis 10
Julian Ralph, Of llarper's Magazine
They have regained health and strength
and given of their energy N esource
to the upbuilding of the city. COLORADO
is largely what she is today ny reason OF
thoroughly advertising her superior Gu
mate in the east. Montana Is turther
north than Colorado, but her average al
titude is so much lower as to offset the
difference in latitude. Our skies are as
bright, our days as sunshlnv, our atmos-
phere as full Of ozone, and our lower al
titude is more favorable to persons sui
fering from nervous troubles or diseases
of the respiratory organs. lLght mere III
Montana is one of the best climates on
the round globe, yet we venture to say
that one hundred persons know ABOUT
the virtues of Colorado air to one who
has heard of Montana's glorious climate
Why don't we advertise 1t?
There is food for reflection in this, and
especially in the closing Interrogation
Colorado was advertised almost entirely
in the early days of the railroad compa-
MES that we're interested in having the
country settled. The railroads of Mon
tana have done little to make the state
known, and have laid no stress whatever
on the marvellous perfection OF the
climate.
Just now Grca. Falls has ascheme for
advertising in tlo North American Re-
view. The publishers of the Review
have made this proposition to the board
of trade:
For every o1e hundred subscribers we
get in your city, we agreeto publish, free
of charge, four hundred dollars worth Of
free advertising in the form Of a write
up Of Great Falls i'll our Review, to pre-
cede the display advertisements of the
publication. For any number of sub
scrlbers down to thirty a proportionate
amount Of space will be gwen. In no
case is a subscription due until the
write up shall appear.
For men and women of intelligence.
students, and all who desire to Geep
pace with higher contemporary thought
there is no better periodical than this
Review. Every person who subscribes
secures for himself distinct benefit, and
this offer to advertise Great Falls in
consideration for his subscription, should
be an additional incentive. We hope
that every person who can afford to take
the North American Review will do so,
and We propose that nine-tenths Of the
space given to the promised write up
shall refer to the climate. This would
include a table of temperatures over a
given period, rainfall, SNOW frost. wind,
etc, and the experiences Of invalids and
old settlers,

approach Montana for climate, and n
does not need to remain here more than
a year or two to find it out. Thousands
Of testimonials can be had from men and
women who were dying when they came
here, who are living in comparative
health and comfort owing to the life
giving properties of the Montana air.
Advertise the climate, and other things
will take care OF themselves.
