DEAR S1R:-As l know your readers
are anxious to get all the news they Can
as to the prospects Of the acceptance oy
the Legislature of the proposition recent
" made by the Northern Pacific Railroad
IOompany, will write you news that

Helena, and he informed me that there
was q very favorable feeling toward thu
proposition, and that very large majority
of the citizens of Helena was for accept
ling the terms, with some slight modIn
Icati0ns. offered in the memorial OF IN
In. p. r. r. Company. He says tn
Opposition is confined to very few person.
in Helena.
Tonight D. Lineberger, Treasurer 0
Jefferson county, returned from Helena
where he had been for week. He col
Iroborates tine statement of Mr.. C"ckeriIl
and adds that it is clearly ascer'ained tia
msiority of the Legislature is for th'
proposition and in favor OF the Northtr'
Pacific Railroad. He says that on the ar
rival of Messrs Stark and Roberts, tn
feeling in Helena was not very strong il
flavor of the road, but since these gentle
men had explained their proposition, al
lpar,ies now are in favor of making con
lract at once with them. Mr.. Lineberge
regards the pa sage of the bill as certain
land all are IN favor of an early com.
