ItItrs1[Fort Benton Review]So many inquiries relative to this famed section have recently been addressed to the editor of the Review by citizens of Choteau county that a few lines concerning it may not be out of place in these columns.To reach the Flathead valley it is necessary to go to Ravalli, on I the Northern Pacific, and then north for thirty miles by stage to the foot of Flathead lake.

The speed of the little steamer, the comforts of “shipboard and the genial spirit of its proprietors make the voyage one of unalloyed pleasure,, in the early fall of 1891 entry into the valley* can be made over the Great Northern, which will becompleted to the coast«probablyby September.While a new town will in time undoubtedly be built in the valley at some point on the Great Northern, thechief place is Demersvilfe,. a thriving little city full of enterprise and offering good inducements to the investor. It will probably be connected with the Great Northern by a spur from the main line, while the right of way has been secured for a branch from the Northern Pacific. The visitor to Demersville. will find Messrs. Clifford Stannard, of that place, excellent gentlemen from whom to acquire reliableinformation respecting the valley,and the best way to make profitable investments.ecHItbS’c-tiVit!v
