Here are the reasons:
Because they have nothing else to
do or anywhere else to go.
Because it is fashionable in the COM

Because pressure is brought 10 bear

Because they are attracted by the

"Montana is without question an

"Last year the agricultural pro-

&c, 1O7, 900 aud the mineral products
at s66, $50, 600. Montana from now on
must be classed as an agricultural
state. The hay produced last year
