skeptics who have no faith in this
district should visit McKee's ranch
near the Little Belts. He has over a

Write to your friends in the east to
come out and help swell the popula

to the fact that Montana is the best
agriculture state in the Union, and
to be a pioneer among this new i'm
migration will be worth something as
the years roll by.
