THE RAILROAD SITUATION.

Several weeks since there were interest
ing rumors of railroad combinations In Mon
tana, looking to sllcing and dividing IN Of
this Territory by the Northern Pacific and
Utah s. Northern railway companies, after
the manner In which Field, Gould and Sage
are represented to be carving the continent
In a recent cartoon of Puck. Il was not
from lack of diligence In seeking accurate
information In respect to this manipulation
that the Montana press failed 10 give the
sequel thereto. The plan failed to be con-
summated. Propositions were made as we
published, viz: for the carriage of 10000
tons of N. p. steel rails by the U. 4 y. to
Silver Bow, and the joint operation Of athree
rail track thence to the mouth OF Little
Blackfoot on condition of the U. Il N. adj
vance to Helena ria Jeifersoa caiion being
abandoned. 1t was also stated verbal
agreement had been made on this basis. At
later meeting, however, the N. p. manage
ment declined the amended proposition Of
the II. p. to also lay three rail track from
Gallatin city to Helena and the two compa-
MES operate that jointly the same as the
Butte and Blackfoot line. This proposition
was definitely rejected by the up. Go. early
In February.
A week since, however, definite arrange
ment was made between the two companies
the particulars OF which cannot as yet be OBJ
Gained. This much, however, Is known:
CD. The graders on the u. a. N. Railway
from Dillon toward Helena have been or
dered TO and have stopped work;
{2). The immediate construction Of rail-
road from Silver Bow to Deer Lodge has
been ordered;
(3). The work In the Silver Bow canon
will be completed by April ist and freight Is
to be delivered Ia Deer Lodge by July 1st
for Helena, Missoula and intermediate
points;
(4). The work Is to be done under the SUI
pervIsion Of Engineer BlicLensderfer Of u. q
N. Co.; the locating line adopted By him will
be the one used, and the first track will be
laid to narrow gauge; but the roadbed, ties
and iron will be standard guage
(5). There Is already shipped for this work
iron sufficient 10 lay fifty miles OF track and
Ii ID now arriving 1t Silver Bow;
f6,. Il Ii confidently believed the road will
BE- constructed to Deer Lodge BY June 1,
1882, and
C7). We have very good reason to believe
the u. 81 N. will not be constructed further
north than Deer Lodge this year, unless
ether arrangements than those now made arc
hereafter consnmmated.
The outlook from this Is decidedly favor
able for Deer Lodge, and we have been care
ful TO confirm froin reliable sources each
