dence in the northwest, given out in
an interview at Helena, when he
said
Montana presents wonderful
field for development along agricul-
tural lines, and once federal aid to
irrigation has been secured there will
pc a growth in this state that will
astonish the country"
After telling of the number of
homeseekers his road had brought
into the northwest from Illinois, Ohio
and Iowa, he said of the immigrants:
1T may not be generally known, but
the northwest is getting the best
class of the people who are seeking
some spot in the land of the setting
sun where they may settle. Very
many of them have money enough
to set themselves up in their new
homes, and the state that gets them
is going to profit greatly by their
coming.
THE majority of the immigrants
come from Iowa. Montana will get
a goodly number of the homeseekers,
but of course not nearly so many as
will Washington and North Dakota.
This fact is due to the other fact that
arabic land as the immigrant can find
in the other states. Here you have
plenty of water and plenty of land
the only trouble being that they are
not yet properly connected. Once
this is done, there will be an thrush
country. AS it is now this country
is pouring water into ST. Louis, which
prefers beer, and the liquid might
better be used for contributing to the
making of butter and milk. sin
cerely hope that congress will pass
the law that is now under considera-
ton. Nothing will help Montana so
much as getting her water onto her
land.
II am firmly of the belief that the
northwest is to become one of the
greatest sections of the United
States. 1t is natural law that the
people will gravitate to the place
where they can make living east
est, They want a place to eat and
sleep, where they can work under the
best conditions and where they can
find tree out of which to construct
a house. Here you have all these
things, and the time is not far away
when the people in the older states
will take advantage of them. They
are just beginning to realize what
there is out this way If the railroads
think they are doing great business
now I wonder what they will think
when the movement takes on full
life"

The Good Hotel Movement.

~ 0SNA hACN$h Nt0HGiuEHls
In many of the prosperous small
cities of the west local capitalists are
interesting themselves in the estab-
lishment of good hotels, believing
them to be advantageous to a city
in an advertising way and profitable
withal.
In one town merchants have taken
stock to the amount of $4,000 in a
company organized to erect a fine
hotel, in another $4,000 has been
subscribed and reports from several
points indicate a similar movement.
1t has been observed that a good
hotel like a good newspaper, accur-
ately reflects the enterprise and COM
mercial Importance of town and the
converse is equally true that such an
Institution brings business
Towns offering first rate accommo-
dations attract the conventions and
excursions of the tributary country
are favorite places for travelling men
to spend their Sundays, and the COM
mercial travellers friendship is a val
liable asset to small city-or a
fairly large one either, for that mat
ter
The hotel movement will be gen
orally applauded, for it promises an
Improvement for which there is much
room in this country. The weary
traveller always has good word for
the town in which he finds comfort

Mcdonald in sarcastic terms The
letter was published in eastern news

In the circular which is being sent
broadcast throughout the east under
the auspices of the union through Mr.
Mcdonald, the assertion is made that
all stories of Montana having any
lands which can be settled upon are
straight lies and that those who
come to Montana in search of homes
are coming to starvation and general
ruin. Further, Mr.. Mcdonald states
that the railroad people who are en-
couraging immigration ought to be
put in the state penitentiary. Mon

BILE and people are warned against
coming to the state. The communica-
ton has been sent to every union in
the east and does not coincide with
the letters sent out by the Great Falls
Business Mems association by con

which is the same as published in

are small and tender, they take the

The memorial which the expert COM
mission proposes was presented simply
as a suggestion; but the Washington
