Inc legislature made an appropria

new maps to the number of 10000
COPIES. 1t was believed that an at
tractive, up to date map Of Montana
would 40 almost as much good in the
hands OF prospective settlers, in the
way OF advertising the state. as many
OF the prospectuses and pamphlets
past years. ~
The entire issue of the new man is
now In Mr.. Calderhead's hands. and
ne Is having no trouble in disposine
of them. He only fears that the de.
mand will exceed the supply, but will
make an effort to send them only
where there is proper demand for
them, ana where they will do some
good to the state and its citizens,
The map is gem of it's kind, print
ed In artistically blended colors and
enclosed in a neat folder, which
makes it convenient for CARRYING In
the pocket. The lithographtng and
printing was done in Baltimore, Nd.
Each map bears the following proof
OF lis official nature, signed In fac
smile, by Mr.. Calderhead as state
auditor:
Il hereby certify that l have exam
ined the above map and founl It in
accordance with the provisions OF
house bill No. 1873, passed by the sew.
enth legislature of Montana, and 1
hereby approve the same"
The map is up to date in every
and shows all the surveyed
townships, mountains, land Offices,
railroads, Indian. forest and military
reservations, and all the cities, towns
and postoff1ces established up to the
time OF publication.
1t will be interesting to the resi-
dents of the two new counties OF
Powell and Rosebud to learn from this
map where they are at" The new
county lines established by the last
legislature are clearly and accurately
shown. and these lately carved coun-
lies assume published Typographical
existence for the first time.
The work Of preparation of the
map, to insure accuracy ami complete
ness, was carefully carried out h
Messrs. Hubbard and Van Hook. In
order to make sure of having every
postoffice in the state appear on the
map. the postal guide, published by
the United States government, was
carefully consulted. The postal de.
partment also furnished the map
makers all the slips of new postof-
fees established up to July I, when
the receipt of new data had to be
discontinued In order to get the &C
tual work started.
The general Offices of all railroads
operating in Montana offered the con
tractors every facility in their power
ana as result all recent railroad ex-
tensions are shown, together with all
changes in trackage of any import
anCe. Some OF the new thi..gs in
this line are the changes made at
Portage and Boulder, the new lines
built by James j. Hill down the Flat
head lake, and the extensions of the
Montana railroad into Fergus coun-
ty.
One interesting point in the map ia
the fact that it shows. the location
of all the copper camps on the Big
Blackfoot river, the data being fur
nishad by John Biggerstein, who
made extensive prospects AMI ex.
plorations in that region.
The new map locates many towns
that did not appear on the last off.
cial map of the state. It would be
almost infinite labor to name all OF
these. Some of the cd postoffices
were simply ranch houses. The gov.
eminent would change a mail route
and the offices be changed or abol-
tshed entirely. But on the new map
every town, reported up to July /,
large enough to possess q postoffice,
appears on this new perspective oil
the broad area of the Treasure
state.
The size of the map proper is 34x
% inches, and the scale Is eighteen
miles to the inch. The map is
printed in six harmonious colors,
representing the various divisions as
follows: All names and lines of di.
vision in black, streams in blue,
mountains in sienna, military reser-
vatiOns in red, Indian reservations in
yellow, and forest reservations and
National park in green.
