sThe man with vision now is

prediction of Harry II. Cunning
ham, vice president and general
manager of the Montana Life In
surance company of Helena, anent
the northwest.
can Empire of Opportunity is
the heading under which he makes
this forecast and gives the reasons
for it, in the May issue of The Mon
tana Life News. Mr.. Cunningham
writes:
"a veritable Empire of Opportun-
| ity is the territory in which the Mon
tana Life Insurance Company oper-
ates-the northwest and the inter
mountain regions, the Pacific north
west and glorious California. Daily
the bonds of modern life, expressed
through business and markets, draw
them closer together. More and
more, the northwest and the inter-
mountain regions are looking to the
markets, both foreign and domestic,
of California and the Pacific north
west in the disposal of their cattle
and hogs and grain; of their manu-
featured products-copper wire and
cable from Montana; rails and nails
and other iron and steel products
of Colorado. More and more the in
terror regions are drawing upon the
rapidly developing industries of the
Pacific coast for finished goods.
I'm the northwest and intermoun-
tain regions a permanent system of
agriculture is being evolved Corn
and hogs and flax and dairy COWS are
finding a place along with wheat.
This present development has its feet
on solid ground. Sheep are like
gold. Market authorities assert a
beef famine is impending. Capital
is looking this way. Metal mines are
being reopened and new railroad con-
struction resumed. The railroads
report more inquiries this past win
ter and spring from prospective set
tiers than any time since 1917. Ma
gaines are calling attention to the
opportunities that are open: witness

California, the wonder state of
unshine and flowers, is contending
low with the hoof and mouth dis
ase. In the light of all that Califor-
ia has achieved and of all that its
making future holds in store for it,
he present situation is a mere an
oyance. California has the climate
nd the sunshine to delight people;
has the resources that will create
York for them, and it has the energy,
enthusiasm and vision to keep push
