ADVERTISING MONTANA.

There is a healthy and growing sen.
timent in all parts of the state in fav.
or OF united and intelligent efforts to
make Montana's great and varied re.
sources known in a way to encourage
new settlers. 1t is q most wholesome
change from a spirit of petty riv alries
between communities and industries
which cannot fail to give an impetus
to development and an increase to the
wealth of the state. The state orgaui.
cation OF enterprizing citizens recently
perfected at Billings is a reflection of
the purpose which is being manifested
in nearly.every center of population
In Montana.
There has been too much advertis.
ing Of IN undesirable sort in the past.
Montana is more widely known than
we'll known. The material advantages
have been neglected and sational
aft airs have been exploited. A snow
storm on top OF the mountains July 4th
has secured space in the press of the
whole country, while more wonderful
and more profitable products of ma.
lures workings In the fertile valleys
have passed unnoticed at home and
abroad. The u%nrivaled wealth in min
eral has given Butte a certain fame
throughout the civilized world, and
has dwarfed the opportunities for
protitab BILE mining more abund ant over
wider range Of mountains than may
be found in any other state of the
union. The magnitude of the live
stock interests here make the possibili-
ties in modest dairy enterprise look
mean and small even to those familiar
with them by sheer force Of compare.

600 pounds of wool regularly and

the desire for novelty and sensation
has prompted the use OF Indian relics
largely manufactured in Chicago
aud stories of adventure in place of
the matter.of.fact knowledge of the
surprising excellence OF schools and
libraries and modern couvcuieuces
and comforts of life in the young state.
Plainly speaking the people of Mon.
taua have been giving themselves the
worst of it in the way of reuown, busy
meanwhile in skimming the crean
from the varied riches and leaving the

The Infallible Hands.

A lady. who had been three or four
years away from her childhood's home
and settled in one of her own, was
taken seriously i'll. Her mother. with
all n mothers sOlicitude, was anxious
to be with her daughter at once, and
FASTENED TO her bedside. She found
skilful physicians in attendance and n
trained nurse in charge; there was
really nothing for her TO do-nothing
that she could be permitted to do. Day
after day she made brief, silent visits
10 the sick room, even her presence
could not be allowed long. and went
away powerless TO aid. The minister
ing was in wiser, more efficient hands
than hers, and she could not be trusted
with it-would not have dared TO trust
herself with il.
But il seems strange" she said
sadly one day, that even |, her mother,
can only stand aside ind do nothing.
There never before was time when
mother wasn't the one to help and
comfort it seems as II il ought to be so
still. and yet ! would be afraid 10 do
anything but keep hands off and trust
TO knowledge and strength that is
greater than my own"
1t is the same in many a spiritual
crisis through which we see our dear
ones pass. We long to shift the bur.
den, TO tighten the trials, TO bestow the
coveted gift: but the Great Physician
holds the precious soul in His hands,
the hands that will make no mistake,
and we can only stand aside and trust
Him.

BILE move is studied for ITS effect on the

Of an agricultural community. Rail
roads strive 10 build dp all these so
that each may have an equal chance In
the sharp competition OF business. So
sensitive 10 this rivalry are the rail
roads that In order 20 build Up business
along their lines they frequently allow
the shipper 10 practically dictate rates.
Rate making has been a matter OF de-
velopment: OF mutual concessions FOR
mutual benefit. That "a why the rail-
roads OF the United States have volun-
tarily made freight rates so much lower
in this country than they are on the
government-owned and operated rail-
ways Of Europe aud Australia that
they are now the lowest transportation
rates in the world.

They signal to the skies
And up above the angels read
How We have helped the sorer need.
