PROSPEROUS BILLINGS.

For a city of 1000 population, the
showing of buildings erected last year
and improvements made in Billings is
most gratifying: the 5000, 900 expend-
ed in this line is a true index OF the
city s prosperity. No other city in the
state of the size of Billings can surpass
this record and some of the larger ones
will indeed be fortunate if they a
equal it. And the outlook for the pres
ent year is that the improvements for
1899 will be far more extensive; this
city, in fact, is on the verge of a boom.
The conditions certainly justify the
present activity. Real estate in Bill.
ings, at the values now placed upon it,
is sure to enhance within the next year
or two, but The Gazette would much
prefer to see the present steady gorwth
of the city continue. without any boom.
There is always the danger, when a
town is doomed, of OVERRIDING the
thing real estate speculation runs high
in western towns at times and is al
most sure to be followed by a period
of depression.
There is no necessity for anything of
the kind in Billings. All it needs is a
continuation of its present steady, heal
thy growth, at which rate it will dou-
BILE its population in five years. 1t is
now the best town of it's size in Mon
tana and with the single exception of
Butte we do not believe there is another
town in the state which is enjoying
more prosperity than Billings.
