The function of the legislators is
chiefly to Testrain evils"arising-from th.e

happiness,'' said Mr. Taft. The tneory
that the state can command people to
be righteous is at the bottom of much
unsuccessful legislation. It may be as

BILLINGS IS PROUD

TO YOTJNX* MEN OF TODAY
City Is Modern in Its Buildings
and Appointments, and Is Fav

cationIts Railway Facilities.
By HERBERT VANDERHOOF.
The city of BilHngrs, Mont., occupies
what may be properly termed the best
strategic point in the northwest. It is
one of the famous .zones of commerce for
the great northwest, for with its excellent
railroad systems, running in five direc
tions, communicating with all of the lines
in the country and Canada, it coirimands
a vast territory, is in easy access to the
markets of the world, and with sov many
railways running to and from it there is
competition in freight rates sufficient to
give to the business men and farmers of
Billings and its immediate vicinity fair
freight rates.
Billings lies in the beautiful Yellow
stone valley. Annually thousands of tour
ists -visit the. Yellowstone valley and Yel
lowstone park, and many of them, at
tracted by the beauty of the city of Bill
ings, its possibilities, commercial, social
and financial, are tempted to remain
there, and in this way the population of
Billings has reached its present propor
tions.
It is not so many years ago since Bill
ings was a frontier town. Its streets
were unkempt, so to speak knee deep in
mud during the rainy weather. It had no
hotels with which to accommodate east
ern capitalists desirous of making invest
ments in the mines nearby, but one day
there came to the oity a man who cduld
see far into the future, and this man be
gan the work of exploiting Billings. That
he. made no mistake is apparent today,
when I look at the prosperity that Bill
ings displays to the world. i
The surrounding territory is the'most
valuable in the state and in the north
west. Farms of fertile soil greet the eye
in all directions, and there is a general
lr pf prosperity. But beyond these farms
out further in the state, are millions of
acres of unclaimed land, ready to be tilled
to enrich the homesteader or citizen who
desires a good home and a profitable
business.
Offers Young Men Opportunities.
Billings furnishes opportunities to the
young men of today that cannot be found
elsewhere. It is no longer a frontier
town, with Its wild, crazy cowboys, so to
speak, but it has banks, hotels, well-kept
Streets, public, buildings,' a lively, up-to
date commercial club, and excellent edu
cational institutions.
What are the individual advantages of
settling a the. city of Billings? In, the
institutiont
irst place, consider those fundamental
of business, the banks". You
can always tell whether a city or the im
mea.la.te vicinity is prosperous by- its
banks. In this case the banks of Billings
not only show that the city is prosper
ous, but that it is growing with tremen
dous strides, stopping at nothing, but
howling over everything that stands in
the way of progress. The First National
bank, trie oldest institution of the kind in
the city, wass organized: twenty-three
year* ago*w*th-agTJapital ofr$wl,000. Year
by 'year the sMuera" kept flowing west
ward and locatirig In and -about Billings,
and this bank acted as the medium thru
which the future wasbuUt upon. Today
this bank has capital of $150,000, a sur
plus of $50,000, and deposits amounting to
over $2,000,000.
But tne First National bank is not the
only bank in Billings, for there are oth
ers. The Yellowstone National bank?'was
chartered in 1891 with a. capital ot

and It has a capital stock of $6ff,0O#Jwfth
deposits o* $500,000. Another bafifc'"Is

with a capital of $50,000 and deposits .rep
resenting $165,00fc To mora forcibly* Im
press upon your mind the wondrous
growth of Billings, I.will state that there
are two more banks founded'-within the
past few years, the Austin National bank
and the People's Savings bank, both pri
vata institutions .with good foundations
doing a healthy business, for, if they
were not, they, could not exist. In all
there is deposited today in banks in the
city of Billings over $3,000,000.
In order that the banking system of the
city might b& of the best and up to date,
a clearing house was established a few
years ago, and now, instead of the old
fashioned method of business pursued by
some banks, the banking system Is up-to
date, correct, and of great assistance to
the business men of Billings. This shows
in itself how great has been the growth
of Billings, but it is only the beginning
of the book to place Billings at the head
of the cities of the northwest.
Has No Commercial Equal.
As a commercial city Billings has no
equal in Montana. Situated as it is in
eastern Montana, at the junction of sev
eral railroad systems, and with a navi
gable river, it is only natural that it
should be made the clearing port of busi
ness for eastern Montana, and especially
in the wool and cattle industry.
Billings is situated in a picturesque val
ley, so that it attracts the tourist besides
the business man. In this matter it be
came necessary to cater to these people,
and accordingly several first-class hotels
were constructedhotels of a type that
please the traveling man, and if you can
please him you can please anyone.
The city sprang into existence only
twenty-five years ago and attracted a
great deal of attention within a very short
time. In the early days of the city the
thrift of the settlers could be easily dis
tinguished, for traders extended their
hands in all directions, for business, and
Its giwth tMagan -with a. jump.-The city
was made a shipping point Immediately
for the cattle men. those hardy citizens
of the United States who were on the
ground before the .railroads were seen
there, and with the construction of the
flrsit road freighthouses were built at
Billings, and within a few years it be
came absolutely necessary to build side
lines into the state. Today thousands of
tons of wool are shipped through Billings
thousands of head of cattle, hogs, sheep
and tons of poultry. Mining material Is
used extensively in the mines, and in turn
ore vast quantities is cleared through
Billings, so that today tliere is no city In
America known more to the business men
of the' country than Billings. Its possi
bilities are great otherwise men who are
at present buying up its real estate as
fast as they oan would not do so did they
believe that conditions were otherwise,
Believe In Their City.
The booming of a city Is no mean un
dertaking, so that there must be good,
substantial clubs composed of brainy men
organized in those cities to do this work.
This is true of Billings. It has a com
mercial club that from morning until
night does nothing but talk Billings to
visitors, prospectors, cattlemen and deal
ers in all classes of goods. The oity is
enterprising, up-to-date in every respect,
and will soon be the metropolis of the
northwest.
And while the work of building the city
commercially has been going on in, a
manner that has astonished the world,
there have been others at work prepar
ing young America to take hold of the
reins when the proper time comes.
Schools have been established, whose sys
tem is second to none in the United
States, and graduates from the high
school at Billings are admitted to any
educational institute in the United States.
There are private schools' also, but they
also come under the supervision of the
city authorities indirectly and are kept in
good oondltion. There is an excellent pub
lic library, well equipped hospitals, and,
last but not least, many beautiful homes..
In a word, there appears to be an yen
amount of prosperity at Billings money
is plentiful, to use the expression in its
.proper sense not that it is to be found in
^the street, for all have to work for what
they get, but the opportunities
