GREAT FALLS, MONTANA . '
GREAT FALLS is located atthe Falls of the Missouri which furnish the greatest available water power on the Continent. Is within seven miles of the most extensive COAL.
and IRON district in the West, immediately beyond which are rich GOLD, SILVER and COPPER districts. It lays tributary the best agricultural and grazing part of
the Territory, and the pineries of the Upper Missouri and tributaries. It is especially adapted by its natural resources and geographical position to become the leading
MANUFACTURING CITY between Minneapolis and the Pacific, and the principal RAILROAD CENTER of Montana.

1 A Timber Case.
The case of the United States vs. the
Northern Pacific Lumber Manufacturing
company, Oregon, charged with purchas
ing timber cut on government land, was
f tried in the United States circuit court of
that state. The defendant admitted pur
chasing the logs, but denied knowing they
were cut on government land. The only
evidence defendant introduced was to es
tablish this fact, which was an important
one, as if it were shown that it was known
that the logs 'were cut on government land
the defendant could be made to pay the
value of the lumber made from the logs,
but if it was shown that it was not known
that the logs were stolen then only the
value of the logs would be exacted. There
was no proof to show that the company
knew that the logs were. cut on govern
ment land, so the jury brought in a ver
dit for the United States in the sum of
9J4$13.1S.
