Butte Urged to Leverage Passes for Westward Growth
S V Kemper, president of the Butte Realty Board, urged that Butte become intermountain manufacturing and distribution hub, citing its location on major mountain passes and four transcontinental railroads. He warned local leaders to boost confidence, stop blaming others, and capitalize on resources to attract immigrants, expand job markets, and grow the city beyond mining. He cited prosperity, per capita wealth, and a broader Montana reach as proofs of Butte’s enduring potential.
