GREAT GROWTH DUE TO CHEAP

By cheap transportation IL meant a

American war there was no necessity
for a general call for volunteers ex-
cept from the state guarlsmen, and
they responded nobly.
1t was the performance of the young
men from the state naval militia dur
ing that short conflict that directed
particular attention to citizen sailors,
and while national recognition has
been slow, yet since 1898 the govern
ment has been particularly liberal to
that branch of militia. Now it is
proposed to tax the service directly
under the wing of the navy depart
ment and to give to the young men
every opportunity and facility to make
themselves more valuable to the ma
ton.

known of the naval militia as it now
exists, there are 23 states which main

secure a most successful future is to
call attention to what nature has done,

country has to offer and a personal
inspection on the part of the pros

Montana has him cinched. The build

SO much land tributary to it requires
time. 1t requires patience. But, if

merchants and business men have
shown themselves eager and anxious
to do everything in their power for
the bctterment of the city. But they
cannot accomplish this by themselves.

home industry, who will? The mer-
chants of his city have worked hard

to coast patrol. True. the coast pa

In command OF some of these coast
