PROSPEROUS MONTANA.
This State Has Been no Less Favored
Than Eastern Communities in the
March Of Prosperity.

While it is generally acknowledged
that the business situation in Mon
tana, says the River Press, Is much
more satisfactory than 1t was three
years ago, the extent of the improve
ment will be better appreciated by
comparing certain data bearing up
on the subject. The comparison
demonstrates that the people of
Montana have made remarkable
progress during the past three years,
and are now enjoying a degree of
prosperity that should be u source
OF pride to every patriotic citizen.
Convincing testimony in this con-
nection is furnished by the amount
of property returned for taxation
by the people OF Montana. In 1896.
property to the value Of S120. G97 ,S47
was listed with the assessors, while
this year the valuation promises to
exceed $40. 000, 600. A gain of some
tNtuty uiiiipH Noiiuln III the snoIt
space Of three years is a most excel
lent showing for a community OF
about 200, 900 people.
The residents of all parts of Mon
tana have participated in the i'm
proved conditions of the past three
years. In 1896 the live stock interests
of the state had a most discourage
ing experience. The beef market
ruled for the most part from 50 to
$3.50 for good Montana steers;
mutton wethcrs that netted 80 per
head brought what was then regard
ed az a good price, and Scent wool
was an average quotation in Mon
tana markets. When these figures
are placed beside the market values
of today, one realizes the difference
between the business conditions Of
three years ago and now.
The products of Montana ranchts
also find a better market than was
available in 1896, and the value of
ranch property itself has appreciated
to a remarkable degree. Thedemand
for ranch property the past two or
three years has given n handsome
value to locations tina; could not find
a purchaser in 1896 at any price. In
the mining industry, also, there has
been a record of steady progress dur
ing the past three years. Informa-
