80. one Of its principle commercial feeders
says tho Marysville Mountsineer. Then a
= natural sequence anything which direotl,
or indirectly helps Marysvilie must pes
force benefit Helena and add to her COM
meicial Importance. In view Of this thu
people OF Helena a. individuals and ~

extending to the north and west Of Ma rs
vile that ia each year being settled upor
by miners and ranchers, and while theii
trade comes directly to Marysville it indi'
yectly benefits Helena, and will gradually
but surely make her the metropolis Of
Montana. Then, gentlemen Of Helena
remember that when you are helping Ma
rysviile you are directly benetitinR your
selves.
