The citizens of the state of Montana are
aware Of the fact,that its progress and de-
velopment for the past fifteen years has
bsen 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 mRdo to adver-
tise the advantages end resources OF this
ocality to the capitalists of the east or the
citizens of the old wot Id. but compata-
lively few outside of our own territoria l
limitations are adequately impressed with
our Importance.

| united effort to call the attention Of capital

vestments in Montana properties.
Manv 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 are small in size. and under favor
able circumstance would attract but little
attention., and when placed in the imme-
diate neighborhood of those magnificent
architectural piles which 90 to make up the
buildings of the Worlds Columbian exposi-
tion. and which are the wonder and admira-
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 Worlds Columbian exposition, and
that admission to them is to be obtained
only after Payment of the regular entrance
fee.
1t ia the design of the Montana State
Headquarters club to provide q COD
venient location where may be made
a suitable display of the minerals
and other resources of our state, and from
which may be distributed advertising mat

various business enterprises, which ndver-
