The Branch Line to the Yellowstone National
Park has its terminal point here, and all the I'M
mense travel to that famous resort is compelled
to stop here from few hours time to number
of days. The principal shops of the railroad
company between BraneId and the Pacific Ocean
are now being built here. They will give en-
ployment to probably 1000 men. Pine timber is
