[MONTANA TERRITORY]. Bozeman Avant Courier - Supplement. Bozeman, MT, March 23, 1877. One folio page on one sheet. Approximately 537 x 356 mm. Upper right corner chipped with minor loss to headline, one faint horizontal crease, small scuff on verso near lower right corner, pencil marking on publication date (“22” and strike-mark over printed date). This article is an “Address to the Voters of Montana / Shall We Vote the Subsidy? $1,700,000.” This article examines the proposed subsidy of a railroad through the Montana Territory, and is urging Montana voters to reject this subsidy, as the editorial board does not believe that there are adequate protections and guarantees to be worth the proposed money. At this point, Montana was not yet a state and was still a territory (Montana was admitted to the union in 1889).
