CLEVER AD
BY THE ST. PAUL
Has Big Map of Montana Showing
Plowman Turning Furrows
of Dollars.
Of the many advertisements of
Montana which have during the
past few months attracted no little
attention in eastern periodicals and
daily newspapers of large circulation
one deserving special attention is
that of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul railroad. The background
for the ad. is a map of the
country pierced by the Pacific
coast extension of the St. Paul.
Owing to the arrangement of the
figures in the drawing, the state of
Montana, and it is labeled in big
black letters, forms the largest part
of the map which may he seen.
A giant is ploughing right across
the state. The furrow which he is
following is begun in the southern
part of the commonwealth, and is
headed towards Lewistown. In
stead of a neatly turned strip of
dirt, tiie plough has left a heap of
dollars. The inner edge of the fur
row shows plainly, and beneath the
ground looks to lie formed, not of
earth, hut of dollars one piled on
top of the other and edge to
edge.
The point of the ploughshare is
in the vicinity of H a r 1 o w ton,
and the hind feet of the giant's
team are on the north bank of the
Missouri river beyond Lewistown.
Over the ploughman's left shoulder
can be seen the Pacific ocean, Ta
coma and Seattle. Running at
right angles to the beam of the
plow is the extension, with all stat
ions of present importance between
Missoula and Lemmon, South Da
Lota,in big print and in plain sight.
The name of Butte is printed in
even larger capital letters.
This is only one of many advertise
ments of this state and of the north
west which are expected to bring
the largest influx of settlers and
homeseekers during the coming
year that this section has ever seen.
TO ELECT OFFICERS

to come up before the regular
meeting of the Commercial Chili

The general impression seems to
he that present set of officers of

one, and will without a doubt he re

DISCUSS NEW UUUilTY
Commercial Club Committee Con
fers With Rep. Thompson on
County Division.
The Commercial Club committee
on county division had a conference
Thursday of last week with Rufus
Thompson, representative in the
state legislature from this county,
to discuss the proposed new Mus
selshell county, which is to he
formed from portions of Fergus and
Yellowstone counties. Altho hav
ing large business interests in Lew
istown he was forced to admit that
the proposition of forming a new
county is a meritorious one, and,
should it he defeated, would great
ly retard the growth and develop
ment of this section. He was very
very favorably impressed with the
proportians of the proposed new
county.
Mr. Thompson was prevailed up
on to bring the matter before the
legislature, but did not express him
se if definitely on this subject which
is somewhat ol a delicate one in
his position. It is believed, how
ever, that out of respect to this
section which claims Mr. Thomp
gon as a res ident more or less, he
will father the bill providing for the
d eeired change.
