MONTANA in 1916

Montana improves with age; the
older this state grows the better she
appears. Particularly is this true
when account is taken of the
twelve month just closed. The aver
age chronology of events is not, as a
rule, the most interesting reading.
But there is much in Montana's
chronicle of events in 1916 that is
interesting to a marked degree.
First off, the men who make a
state, who produce the things which
make for progress and good will on
earth, have been drawing wages that
are larger than ever they have been
in Montana. In the copper-producing
centers prosperity is wearing its very
best garb, radiant and smiling. The
big copper companies have increased
wages, voluntarily, three times in the
year, each time a boost of 25 cents
for the man who works. The price
promise is that the metal will con-
tinue to command this record price,
for the world needs copper-this is
the copper age.
No long stretches Of railroad have
been built in Montana in the last
year, but all the while the reads
have been doing something in the
building line; new extensions in sew
eral parts of the state have been
added to the holdings of the roads;
every day crews have worked at re-
pairs, so that in this industry there
has been no show of lethargy.
Montana is going to be classed with
the big beet sugar-producing states.
For years Billings has had monopoly
| in this line, having turned out noun
tains OF sugar made from beets grown
in the immediate Vicinity. Now comes
Missoula, Hamilton and Deer Lodge
with the word THAT they are going
in for sugar beef growing.
The lumber industry huns, the gold
mining industry huns, the cereal
and root vegetable industry huns, the
wheels in the mills hum and the
workingman huns lively air as he
goes to his work every day in the
year, every day adding to his bank
account.
Look at Montana from any angle
and you WIFI see one of the best
states on earth-everything is in mo-
tion and everything spells prosperity,
health and happiness in this favored
of the many good states in the
Union.-Anaconda Standard.
It might be we'll to add that Mon
7tana's industrial activity the past
lyear has placed it before the eyes of
the world as cone of the great pro-
ducing states of the Union. Low
taxes and an absence of freak or rad
ical Legislation will draw millions of
outside capitsla here for development
purposes and it rests solely with the
present Legislature whether this re-
markable growth be encouraged or
Gentlemen, hold down
! taxation and legislation to a mini
anum and watch Montana grow.

An association is being formed
among the farmers of this neighbor-

care for good critter than it does
for scrub, while the revenue from
the former is several times greater.
That the association will succeed is
sincerely wished by all.
There is much talk within the
membership of the Equity of erect
ing an elevator at Roman between
now and the time to move another
grain crop, and present indications
are that it will go through. Plans
contemplate a building that will cost
in the neighborhood of $4,000.

well and was very nervous. l think
my liver was also sluggish for had

failed to relieve me, so when a
friend suggested / try Dreco, as it
was doing so much good around
Washington, I got a bottle. Right
from the start l felt better. The &C
ton was certainly quick in my case,

giving rise to that gas nor cause
heartburn. My liver is also acting
better for l don't have the dizzy

Modern Structure Near Fire.

Percy Garrigues of Portland is in

property between the Heppner Gar.
age and Vaughn G Sons store on
Main street. The new structure will
be 40 by 100 feet in size and will be
modern in every detail, according
to Mr.. Garrigues. The building will
|'be Of brick construction.
J. n. Cox and crew of carpenters
have been working the past week in
making ready for the new building
This includes the tearing down of a
section of the Vaughn & Sons build.
ing formerly used for storage pur.
poses and the removal of machinery
platforms. The end of the present
week will find this part of the work
about completed.

ors will have charge of putting up the
new building and Mr.. Garrigues an
nounces that work will start just as
soon as the material can be shipped
up from Portland, which will proba-
bly, be one week or longer.
The new building will be divided
into two parts, the larger of the two,
81 by 100, will be occupied by Cur
dane & Son with confectionery, bill
lard and pool hall, and the smaller,
IS by 100 feet, will be used by
Vaughn & Sons for an Office and other
conveniences. One of the features
which will be inaugurated by Vaughn

part of the stores service. The en-
tire cost of the new building will be

The front of the Vaughn & Sons
store proper will also be remodeled
and a plate glass front put in.
