P. E. ISLAND, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4. 1888.
Montana.
Since coming to the Territory I have re- ceived quite a number of inquiries about Moutana. For the benefit of these wishing to know something of Montana’s soil, cli- mate and industries, I have gathered from different sources the following items :
Montana contains in round numbers 146,000 square miles, or 93,440,000 acres. It is as largeas Great Britsin and Ireland, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Rhode Island combined. It is greater in area than Iowa, Uhio, Maine and New Jersey together; and could find reom for South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. It is a& mountainous country--hence its name— containing a Jarge number of fertile valleys and table-Jands. The source of the Mis- souri River is here ; also that of the Colum- bia. Its mean altitude is 3,000 feet above
‘
than Colorado, 3,000 feet lower than Wyom- ing, 2,600 feet lower than New Mexico It has abeut 30,000,000 acres of land which can be cultivated. The balance is grazing and timber lands. It is the best watered Territory in the Union, and has waler-power sufficient to run the machinery of the whole world. The principal streams im Montana are the Missvuri, Jefferson, Madi- son, Gallatin, Dearborn, Sun, Teton, Mar- ias, Milk, Poplar, Yeliowstune, Deer Lodge, Missvula, Big Horn, Tongue Pow- der, Ulark’s Fork, Sullwater and Boulder, and their tributaries.
Its principal valleys are the Gallatin, Missoula, Deer Lodge, Yellowstone, Mussel- shell, Judith, Smith River, Sun River, Bitter Root, Missouri, Willow Creek, Prickly Pear, Big Hole, Beaverhead and Ruby. Numberless are the smaller ones on other streams and tributaries, all con- taining remarkably fertile lands. In the Gallitin Valley this seasun the yield has been unprecedented. (t was not uncom- mon to see fields turning off 100 bushels of oats to the acre, and 60 bushels of wheat. A system of irrigation is carried on in most of these valleys, which helps greatly to in- crease the yield of their land.
The table-lands and the rolling prairies and foot hills between the several spurs of mountains are covered with ** bunch ” and ** buffalo grasses,” both are sweet and con- tain all the nutriment necessary to produce the prime beef for which Montana is noted in the | Chicago market. These grasses ’ standing and retain all the sweet- ness and nutriment for stock during winter. I have seen beef cattle come out fit for market in the spring when the winter was not too severe, e. g,, the winter of 1885-6.
Notwithstanding the heavy losses of last winter cattle raising is yet considered a profitable business. If there were no | sses it would not be so. farmer could not compete with the western beef raisers at all. It .is estima that 75,000 beeves were exported fron Montana this year, averaging 1200 lbs in weight each—after our hardest winter for thirty years | Many eastern people have an idea that this is a cold cuuntry, with sl «rt summers and leng winters. Such . aot the case. Its climate is not as cold as New York, or most of the northern states in the same latitude. If you will trace the isothermal line of 50 degrees Fahrenheit, you will find that it passes through Montana from the Pacific, and passes through Chicago, Cleve- land and Harrisburg, across the Atlantic into Southern France, on into Southern Kussia in Europe. It will thus be seen that the average temperature of Montana is the same as that of the places named above. This is accounted for in this way : The altitude of any place causes a dry atmosphere which renders the embrace of Jack Frost less disagreeable than in the same latitude east of ns. Montana, as may be said by comparison of altitudes. of our neighboring territories, occupies a great depression in the Rocky Mountain system. The trade winds, from the great Japan current, come to us here and bring with them the balmy ‘‘ Chinook” which disper- ses the snow from its track and leaves Jack Frost in the shade without courage enough to cume out into the warm air and sun- light. Any ‘*Chinvoks” we had last winter, only served to coust the snow and make it more difficult for stock to get at the nutrizious grasses lying underneath, They did act last long enough.
Montana is a very healthy country. Persons afflicted with affections of the lungs always recover under its dry, pure, invigorating «atmosphere, Consumption, in its first stages, is said to be cured after a few months residence in our mountain cities. Yellow fever, chulera and malarial diseases never euter here, and other diseases easily succumb to the skill of the p»ysician. High winds we have plenty of. (hey are the stockmen’s salvation. We have had two feet of snow here already, but I can look out and see bare hills every- where around with several ‘* bunches” of horses feeding on them. The cattle are up higher on the creeks, where the shelter from the wind is better.
All the cereals of the north temperate zone are cultivated kere. Small fruits yield largely. The hardier varieties of apples and pears are grown in nearly every part of the territory. Peaches are success- fully raised in Missoula and Bitter Root Valleys. The Montana farmer finds a ready home market for all that he raises. There are large shipments of grain and vegetables made from Utah and elsewhere every year to meet the demands of home consumption. A good many of the farm- ers don’t farm here. They putina ‘“ gar- den patch” and raise hay to sell. A good ‘hay ranche” is worth lots of money in this country. ‘*Sheep men” need more or less hay, and “‘ cattle mor,” too, who feed any at all.
The grest resources of this country are its mines, and its cattle, sheep and horses. This year’s mineral yield is about $30,000, - 000. The figures for 1888 will he far ahead of these, +n account of the advance in the price of copper. Montana’s mineral resources, like her agricultural, are yet - fest infancy. Millions of

Montana horses are beginuing to take the lead on the race tracks east. They
have better wind, can stand more hard- ship, and if well trained, can get overithe ground faster than your eastern borses— generally speaking.
Montana's assessment for 1885 was $52,- 847 536.40; tor 1886 it was $55,076,87 1.53; for this year it is $60,000,000 nearly, show- ing an increase of nearly $5,000,000, en- couragiug, considering the great losses of range steck last winter, etween $2,000, - 000 and $3,000,000 are spent every year for schvol purposes, Inthe lager towns of the territory, such as Helena, Deer Lodge, Butte, &., there are seme fine schools, public and private. In Helena and Butte all the religious bodies have churches— commodious and substantial, The eastern tender-fowt” will tind here cultivated and refined people in every walk of life. Farm- ing lands may be ubtained at comparatively cheap rates, and when the Indiau Reserva- tions are thrown open to, setiiement. as they soon will be, other homes will be made to contribute to Montana's juture great- ness. Timber is plentiful, and the coal fields are extensive enough to supply the whole United States for years to come. Precious metals are found in every range of morfntains. Montana has attractions for all. For the farmer it has a rich and pro- ductive svil, which well repays all his labor and tuil. Forthe tourist its grand scenery and abundant game are unrivalled in the west. For the invalid it holds health in its bracing air of the mountains, its clear cool waters, and its remarkab!e mineral and medicinal springs. The capitalist will here find ample room to invest his surplus money profitably. The laborer will here find work in the mines, in the mills, on the ranches, or on the prairies herding sheep, or ‘‘ punching cows.” To all it ex- tends a hearty welcome. ‘‘Still there is room ” away up here among the mountains, where the cayote’s cry is heard at night, and the voice of the sly cougar, for the energetic, the persevering and industrious to carve out a home and perhaps a fortune, if he should happen to ** s:rike it.”
