The Northern Pacific's large lioldings are being put on the market for the 

 benefit of the actual settler and the same is true of the great body of cut- 

 ovei* lands owned by the Big Blackfoot Milling Company. 



Detailed instructions are given in this volume for securing free home- 

 stead land, and for securing State lands. In this connection it should be 

 mentioned that owing to the fact that public land is being constantly appro- 

 priated, and wdiat is vacant land today may be taken tomorrow, it is i«ipos- 

 sible to furnish maps shov.'ing vacant land. This department, however^ 

 will, upon application after J\larch ist, 1914, furnish a guide map of the 

 State, showing the county boundaries and the township and range lines of 

 the public survey. From this niap it will be easy for a prospective settler 

 to determine the various localities of the State and. furnishing the township 

 and range number, secure from the various land offices information respect- 

 ing vacant land in any particular township. 



Those interested in railroad Innd should address ]\Ir. Thomas Cooper,, 

 land commissioner of the Northern Pacific, at St. Paul, while those seeking 

 to purchase cut-o^;er timber lands of the Big Blackfoot ^Milling Companv, 

 should address Mr. Daniel Arms, Missoula, IMontana. 



Secretaries of commercial clubs, whose names are given in this book» 

 will be glad to answer inquiries concerning the opportunities which exist 

 in their respective localities.
