Montana. is in earnest relative TO railroad
connection with Utah The Northern Pacific
road is very goed-in prospective; but the
people OF Montana need railroad connection
at an earlier date than that road ID likely to

continue, possibly for years, staging several
hundred miles, and ffeighting by nitiles ana
oxen as at present.l The demands Of b,lsf-
ness make a,qpicker mode of communication
especially Of Helena are wide awake to these
facts. The question seems TO be, what road
shall they consider most likely TO bring them
speediest benefit and permanently assist them.
Two companies are bidding for the Montana
trade. One shows work the other offers
pushed ahead with avigor; while the Utah,

row gauge, and Its working gives complete
satisfaction; !; the U.I s. M.Iproposesto be a
broad gauge of the regular width. 4, he sue.

problematical.' Their Importance to noun
famous country, and their economy in CON
