MONTANA HAS A
GREAT FUTURE
STATE OFFERS GREAT oPPoRTu.
MITES.

Sam D. GOA, of Helena, is in the
city for a day or two and is stopping
at the Northern hotel.
Montana is yet In it's infancy and
the opportunities which it offers to
the farmer, the miner and business
IA are wonderful says Mr.. Coca,
who is a live booster. MANY fortunes
have been made here, hut l predict
that there are greater fortunes yet to
be made. It is in the same stage of
development that Colorado was 90
years ago, only Montana has more
farming territory and more water to
irrigate with.
Its mines are rich, and there are
many great camps yet undiscovered.
Its coal fields have only been
scratched and its farming is just de-
veloping.
The young man who engages in
business of any kind within the state
cannot make a failure, il he possesses
any business ability. In all my trav.

BIG HOLIDAY TRADE
Purchases Now Being Made Princi.

Fine Displays in all Stores.

The holiday rush is on at the Bill.
ings stores.
At the p~ostofice the holiday sea
sons business mas begun and the OK.
press Offices are commencing to re.
ceive their share Of the heavy pack
ages and some money order bust
ness.
The stores are %thronged daily with
purchasers and residents are sending
away presents to distant friends al
ready.
All Of the toy and department stores
are thronged each day with the little
folks, who are in their glory doing
their Christmas shopping and casting
wistfu1 eyes at the high priced toys,
which are beyond their limited means.
The merchants Of Billings are
pleased with the trade thus far and
express the opinion that this season
will be one of the biggest if not the
largest in the history of the city.
Packages for the post should be Sc
curely wrapped and packed so as to
be protected from breakage. The
safest way to send a package through
the mails is to register it. Mark the
address plainly and also the name OF
the sender. The p~ostoffice employees
will tell you the rest.
To those who are contemplating
sending away presents by express,
there are few facts Of general informa-
ton to the public.
Packages should be in the hands Of
the express company not later than
December 18. There is nothing quite
SO disappointing to the donor as the
delay Of a present after Christmas
day. It takes away the sweet senti-
ment embodied in these gifts, and
very greatly disappoints the receiver.
Express companies are furnishing
their patrons with labels reading, "Do
Not Open Until Christmas" which
may be pasted upon your packages.
Use wooden boxes for packing when
possible. This reduces the risk of loss
and prevents damage.
Write the address plainly with ink
or crayon, giving street number and
county. Write your name and address
on the package following the prefix
From" giving your street and num-
Der, and also enclose in the package
one of your cards.
Do not enclose money or jewelry in
packages Of merchandise. Such arti-
cles should be sent in a separate
package through the money depart
ment.
Insist upon a receipt and have the
value of your package placed thereon.
Mark the package paid" if so in
tended.
Write the word "perishable' on
your package, if it contains matter Of
a perishable nature.
