A. M. CANNON, founder of Spokane
Falls, while in Great Falls in November,
1893: "If you but make use of q 1.-THE of
you will be the foremost city OF the inter-
mountain region"
NoEMAN J. CoLMAN, Reconnaissance
of agriculture: "You have the water
power here to turn a million spindles,
and transmute wool in the finest labrics.
Not only in that respect may you acquire
to be a great city, but you have mineral
wealth around you equal to any region
in the United States. Right here is the
central, the natural point for smelling
that gold and silver ore 90 as to produce
the metal in the degree of purity re-
auired for the worlds market, In addi-
ton to all this the copper, coal and lime
stone which are 90 near your town must
render this place the central city OF this
center Of the continent"
Coz. j. II. STEVENS OF Minneapolis,
speaking Of Paris Gibson: I'VE all re-
Qret that he left US, but we are gratited
that he has founded a city here, which
I an awfully afraid, will be greater than
Minneapolis"
Gro. w. HILL of st. Paul Farmer:
"Columns might be occupied descanting
on this wonderful site, destined, no
doubt, to be one of the great cities TO
<ba upiop at no distant day."
JUDGE HEDGES Of Helena, Mont:
.sGreat Falls has in it's vicinity enough
water power to move all the machinery
in the country and coal enough to du-
plicate this power"

the people Of your young city shall avail
themselves of the natural advantages
poured into its lap nothing can hinder

SAMUEL HILL, president of Montana
Central Railway: II answer them toat
there will be hree great cities built
one al Duluth, one at Great Falls, n
on the Pacific coast. at a point where
the ocean currents bring ships quickly
to Washington from China and Japan.
To find unlimited water power, coal
fields and u~nequalled mineral wealth in
close proximity, is a problemn in city
building which has resisted human Of
forts SO far.
E. V. SaALLEY, the journalist: "You
have a peculiarly attractive site for a
city, u fine climate and lots of natural
in the country around you.
You have besides unlimited water power,
good railway facilities aud an energetic
population"
Hon. J.. c. CAMPBELL Of illinois:
Taking into consideration it's beautiful
location, magnificent water power, un-
limited mineral u of gold, silver,
lead, iron, ard coal within easy reach in
the Belt mountains, it's matchless sur
rounding stock range already we'll filled
with bands OF horses, cattle, and sheep;
ius undeveloped but undoubtedly great
agricultural resources; its natural loca-
ton as a railroad center, and its great
good fortune in having for its promoters,
the men who build, equip, and operate
the railroads whose material interests
are to q great extent linked with the
growth and prosperity Of Great Falls
all these, it seems to me, render it alb
solutely certain that at no distant day
Great Falls will be a large and prosper
u city"
j. J.. GOODWIN of Brooklyn, N. ":
with your ineXhaustible mines OF coal,
iron, copper, silver, gold, marble OF the
finest quality, ready to be quarried, and
agricultural facilities your city is des-
tined to be the great commercial and
manufacturing center of the wonderful
northwest"
Hon. w. A. CLARK, Butte, Montana:
'Your proximity to the valuable mines
that are known to exist in the Neihart
district, and to the almost i~nexhaustible
coal fields of tho Sand Coulee is a val
liable feature and will add largely to
your wealth and provide you with advan-
tageous resources. But the most strik-
ing and valuable acquisition is the great
water power which lies near your place,
and which may be, and no doubt. will be
utilized in due time for mechanical and
metallurgical purposes.
81 know Of no place in the state where
electricity may be produced 80 cheaply,
and as this agent affords the most con
omical and efficient method for the sepa.
ration of copper from the precious
stalls, I expect that in the near future
ou will have most extensive plants for
his important branch OF metallurgy.
'We shall hope to see Great Falls be-
me a city Of great Importance which
be the pride Of the whole state"
