rope WHICH hanged Henry RUNNER,
the worst desperate of them all.
Montana, now the third largest
state in the Union, was not con-
quered easily. Sierra de La Veren-
drye, French fur trader, ventured
westward from the Mississippi far
enough to see mountain peaks
tipped with snow. "Ahead lie noun
tains that shine so brightly they
dazzle my eyes," he exclaimed. But
his expedition was spent and he
could not 60 on. "The Land of Shin

Stampede For Gold.
In 1852 there was a rumor of
gold. A French halfbreed probably
was first to find it. But it was James
and Granville Stuart who found gilt
tering metal along a little stream in
western Montana on May 2, 1858.

People rushed to Montana by
the thousands - miners, gam

all hoping to be rich over
night. Gold dust to the amount
of Is million dollars was taken
from Alder gulch in a few
months. Last Chance produced
many fortunes.
But there was trouble in the air.
The Indians resisted the advance of
the white men, and there were

work. When the Vigilantes had hung

Mother Nature was prodigal in
lavishing her allure upon Montana,
providing Kaleidoscope pattern of
low lands and high lands, bad
lands" and amazingly rich lands,
majestic mountains, mighty rivers
and fascinating lakes.
AS its major scenic attraction, the
state boasts Glacier National park,
mass of twisted and tunbled
mountains studded with 80 glaciers
and $50 lakes. Three of the major
approaches to Yellowstone National
park, located in Wyoming just
across the Montana line, pass
through picturesque Montana.
Vast regions of forest areas of out
standing scenic beauty, much of it
remaining in its virgin state, are
embraced in Montana's 10000

square miles of national forests,
1926 square miles of state forests
and eight primitive areas. Magnifi-
cent peaks, glaciers, lakes, streams,
mountain meadows and an abun-
dance of wild game and fish are
found throughout the forests. Trails
for saddle and pack trips and nu-
merous camping spots for motorists
bring these attractions within easy
access.
The tang of the Old West per-
vades the state in its many dude
ranches. Mammoth herds of cattle
and bands of sheep still range over
much of the state Typifying the au-
thentic atmosphere of the old days
is the famed Powder river cattle
country around Miles City, Terry
and Broadus.

Two thirds of Montana lies east
Of the Continental Divide and is
chiefly Yrairie land suitable for
farming and stock raising. Huge
wheat ranches, fully mechanical,
sprawl over the rolling plains. Mon
tana agriculture also includes such
crops as sugar beets and cherries,
apples and mustard seed, alfalfa
and flax. The state has excellent
soils, hundreds Of thousands Of
acres of undeveloped land, and an
abundance of water for irrigation.
Prairies Now Bloom.
Today the Missouri river Is
checked by the Fort Peck dam,
worlds largest earthfill, and here
more and more prairie is being
turned into garden spot. Montana
looks forward to other dams and
new land to feel the pillow, with
hydroelectric power as byproduct.
Noted for its recreational
areas, Montana has Glacier Ma
tional park in the northwestern
part, covering an area Of more
than 1880 square miles, with
more than 60 glaciers and 200
lakes. Three Of five entrances to
Yellowstone National park are
in Montana. The Billings-Red
Lodge-Cooke City high road to
Yellowstone lifts motorists high
into the clouds over the Bear
tooth plateau, reaching an alti-
tude Of 10,942 feet.
Montana always will be a live
stock state. Its ranges are covered
with grass and forage. Only Texas
exceeds Montana in the number of
sheep. More than a million cattle
are on Montana ranches.
The discovery of oil in Montana
about 20 years ago brought a new
industry. Before the war the state
produced around six million barrels
Of crude oil as well as great quanti-
ties of natural gas. Since the war
new strikes have been made and
more wells are being drilled. Pipe
lines range across the state to take
oil and gas to such industrial cities
as Butte and Anaconda.
Huge Coal Deposits.
Nobody knows how much coal
Montana has, because coal mining
has not been developed on a large
scale as yet. Montana is one of the
richest coal states in the West. Btu
minous and semi-bituminous areas
in the state cover $4,000 square
miles and the Ignite area about
$4,000. Tests show the bituminous
coal to be only little inferior to
Pennsylvania bituminous deposits.
Rich and romantic Montana! Its
future is bright. It has a wonder
fully healthful climate. Its resources
have scarcely been touched. It is
one of the newer, fresher and better
areas of our great nation. It has
room for million more people
and there still would be big ranches
and recreational areas left.
The pioneer period of Montana is
behind it. The Vigilantes need ride
no more. With natural resources,
agriculture, industry, payrolls and
inviting recreational areas, Mon
tana marches on with even stride,
sure of its course. And always it
extends this greeting:
welcome to the Land of
Shining Mountains, the Treas
ure State"

resident of Montana. He came to
the Treasure State by way of Kan

Montana Termed
Appropriate Name

Montana, Spanish word indi-
eating mountainous country, is
appropriate for the Treasure
State. Within its borders are 26
million acres of mountain lands,
embracing some of the most
spectacular scenery in the West.
The name was selected by
Stephan A. Douglas, then a sena-
tor, during the 1850s, when much
of the West was being opened.
What Douglas probably didn't
realize is that Montana also has
so million acres of non-mountain-
GUS farming land and 20 million
acres Of grazing land.
