There Is an excellent opportunity in

meet Jan. Is at Helena for the purpose
of making the selection. 1t is now in
| order for the young ladies to put on
their best bib and tucker and sweetest
smiles and go to a photographers have
their pictures taken and send them to
w. II. Sutherlin. Helena. The following
letter Will explain itself, and the young
ladies of Montana are requested to read
it. 1t is addressed to q member of the
committee:
My Dear Sir-The managers of the
Transmississippi and International ex-
position. which convenes at Omaha June
next, having decided to issue a souye-
mir medal of gold, silver and bronze.

profile view of a woman's head in bas
relief, / have been asked to assist in Sc
curing photographs OF two of the most
beautiful young women in Montana.
from which competent artist will
model the design.
Il hesitated somewhat in publishing
call To the ladies for their photo
graphs, fearing there might be no re-
sponse but the notice has had a fair
circulation already, and it is gratifying
TO state that the photographs are COM
ing in as rapidly as the mails can bring
them.
AS there are so many beautiful
young ladies in our state all apparently
deserving of the honor TO be conferred,
the task of selecting the two most beau
tiful will indeed be the most difficult
that has fallen to my lot, and l have
therefore decided to call to my assist
ance a committee of the generous editors
of the state, whose names are as fol-

1t is believed that a large number Of
photographs will be sent from this city,
as it is Anaconda's boosted pride that
there are more pretty girls here to the
square acre than in any other city in
the Northwest. To have ones face on a
souvenir attached to a mans watch
charm or made into cuff buttons or
scarf pins is an ambition worthy of the
prettiest girl in Christendom. Let the
Anaconda girls be heard from.
