proyal of Gov. J. E.. Rickards, the

able citizens.
The citizens of the 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 made to advor-
tise the advantages and resources Of this
%ocality to the capitalists of the east or the
citizens Of the old world, but compnra-
lively few outside of our own territorial
limitations are adequately impressed with
our Importance.
II is now thought advisable to make a
united effort to call the attention of capital
to the advantages to be derived from III
yestments III Montana properties.
MANY of the states of the union have
erected, within the confines of Jackson
park, Chicago, a state building as head
quarters for their citizens. Most OF these
buildings nre small in size. and under favor
able circumstance would attract but little
attention, and when placed in the imme-
date neighborhood Of those magnificent
architectural piles which go to make up the
buildings of the World's Colum blan eXposl-
ton, and which are the wonder and admirs-
ton of all who have seen them. they Will
pass unnoticed.
1t is probably understood by all that each
of these state buildings is within the grounds
of the World'S Columbian exposition, and
that admission to them is to be obtained
only after payment of the regular entrance
fee.
