The valley for some years to come will offer special inducements to business men in almost any branch of trade. The country is settling up with great rapidity and the strictly agricultural landhas all been taken. . In the north end of the ® valley, however, there are vast tracts of pine forests that offer tempting morsels to the actual settler. A great deal of the valley is unsurveyed land and the rights of “squatter soverignty” are exercised in all their pristine glory. ‘ Irrigation is unusual in this section and it is said to be wholly unnecessary, the finest crops in the world being success-fully grown with out it. The valley is watered by three largestreames and numerous small onesand the 'water seems to percolate the 3nh~so.il in all directions, affording the necessary sustenance to crops, while lakes at intervals generate a copious dew-fall, and the fall and spring rains, together with ample snow in winter, make that section very like a New England valley. The comparison is heightened by the noble pines that skirt the water courses, and the beautiful scenery that everywhere abounds.With agricultural fespurces unequalled in the state, with plenty of water, timber and coal, and fringed on either side with mineral prospects of the finest character, the Flathead valley bids fair tobecome the richest section of the northwest. When to these are added nature s stupendous tributeto the eye, scenery that enraptures the soul and arouses the love of the beautiful in the mind of man, the Flathead valley becomes the poet's corner of Montana. Bathed in the sunshine of a lovely climate toned to meet the requirements ofhealth, it will become a favorite resort for all: our people—a veritable Mecca sequested among thestera-visaged rock-towers of themighty Rockies.
