but one object, the suppression of negro edu-
cation" There are at present $4,000 white

road from Helena to this. city, he was
not prepared to answer, stating that it
would depend entirely upon the report
of the engineer in charge. The several
proposed routes will be examined, and
that which, all things considered, is the
most practicable, will be adopted. While
he did not make the statement directly,
all his conversation on the subject indi-
Gated that the work of construction will
begin as soon as the route is approved.
His purpose is clearly to build from
Butte to Helena, thence to Great Falls
and on to Fort Benton-this section, liz
fact, to be link of his coming transcon-
tinental line north of the Missouri river.
His scheme is grand one, and there
are not many men in the land more
to carry it through.
