MoNTANA's F,FTIErH BIRTHDAY

1t is fifty years g Tuesday since
Montana became a territory. On May
Is, 1864, by far the greater part OF
Montana was an absolute wilderness.
The population, such as it was, was
almost exclusively confined to what
are now Beaverhead and Madison
counties. Great has been the material
progress of Montana since 1864. rela-
lively it will be eve vaster and more
inspiring during the next half century.
To paraphrase TennysOn, Better so
years of Montana than a cycle of Mex
ico."
All that portion of Montana lying
east of the Rocky mountains was
originally part of that vast domain
within the Louisiana purchase. &C
quired by the United States in 1903,
That portion of Montana west Of the
range was originally embraced within
the region acquired by the United
States by occupation and settlement
and was known as the "OregOn coun
try" This included what are now the
