A Fight for Freight.

ST.. PAUL, March 1.-THE new joint
tariff on freight that goes into effect to-
day, via Dickinson, are all at the same
figures from Chicago, Milwaukee, Rae
inc and Kenosha to Dickinson, Bell
field and Medora, there being no more
than forty miles difference in the dis
tances to Deadwood. Although the
Northwestern, Omaha and Northern
Pacific are the roads mentioned, all the
Chicago lines are parties to the agree
ment. This will be antagonistic to the
interests of Pierre and Chamberlain.
There have been no arrangements with
any particular freighters, the business
being open to any wagon men who may
compete for it, but the Northern Pacific,
SO it is understood, will employ sBram-
BILE s. Reyes for their business. Freight
consigned to Deadwood parties has for
some time been lying at Dickinson, with
no arrangements for forwarding it to
the hills. The three towns, Dickinson,
Bellfeld and Medora are rival points for
the overland haul. The company has
given each of these the same rate so as
to avoid any show of favoritism to
either. The townsite companies of
Dickinson and Bell field are furthering
their interests, and the Marquis de
Mores is backing the Medora route.
Whichever can give the Black Hills the
best terms from these points will get the
bulk of the business. A little rivalry
may be anticipated. In any event it
will be a triumph for the Northern
Pacific

From Tuesdays Daily.
THERE ought to be a general attend
ance at the railroad meeting tonight. It
is evident that this railroad will not be
built unless the citizens Of Helena and
Fort Benton put their shoulders to the
wheel, and give the project a start. The
Northern Pacific has not got the money
to build branches, hot even such an i'm
portant feeder as this would be; but
with such aid as ought easily to be OBJ
tanned at Helena, Fort Benton, and
along the line, the road can be started,
and by the usual methods of bonding or
mortgaging, the lea to complete it
can readily be secured. To vitalize the
project it is necessary for those who will
be most benefited by the read to fur
nish the funds with which to make a
start ; and after that it will take care of
itself. Unless this is done the road will
not be built very soon ; il it is, the work
OF construction will be in full progress
this season. Fort Benton is vitality in
terested in the issue. The commence
ment of operations on the Helena &
Fort Benton railroad means the COM
mencement ola permanent boom, which
will grow in momentum as the lend Of
the track" moves this way, while its
completion will mark a new and bright
commercial era for u city. Every
person interested in Fort Benton is in
terested in Fastening the construction
and completion of this road, and should
be willing. in proportion to his means,
to assist in securing that end. The
meeting tonight is not for the purpose
of obtaining subscriptions to the stock
Of the Helena & Fort Benton railroad,
but to secure an expression of the senti-
ments of our people on the proposition
of aiding in its construction. We trust
that it will be a demonstration that will
lend encouragement to the prime NOV
ers, and hasten the accomplishment of
the object in view.

The fatal dose of fusil oil is from one
fourth to one-sixth of a grain, or about
the quantity found in two pounds of the
candy. A smaller quantity produces
dizziness, headache, a sense of falling

A Grand Railroad Scheme.

Washington is a very paradise of Wis
ionary people, but no scheme, however
visionary, that has been proposed. quite
equals the plan of George F.. Shire, for
merly Of the army, but who is now a
mining engineer in Boston. He is here
trying to get up a company for the con
nection of the Northern Pacific railroad
with Alaska. He says that the mining
regions of the section to be opened up by
this proposed line will fully warrant its
building. He also believes that a system
of snow sheds can be devised by which
the tracks can be protected from those
heavy snow falls of severe winters. But
Gen. Shire would not have his line stop
at Alaska. He says that the Russians
are beginning to cross Siberia with rail-
roads, and it is only a question of time
when st. Petersburg will be connected
by rail with the coast; and at Behring
strait, China will in time have a rail
road along the eastern coast lines. Gen.
Shire would have huge ferry boats con-
meet at the narroWest point of Behring
strait with the two railroad lines when
the water was open. Huge slides could
be used in winter. When all this is
brought about, passengers can take a
Pullman car through to Europe for at the
least six months in the year. Gen.
Shire believes that the European traffic
would be heavy. Many people do not
go to Europe because of their fear of the
dangers of the sea. The greater time
required for an all rail journey to Europe
would be compensated by the variety Of
country scenes. and the greater safety
insured. All rail TO China would be
possible under this system. Gen. Shire
believes that this railway project is one
of the certain things to occur within the
next thirty-five years.

Whoever builds

an utter impossibility. Whoever builds
this new branch, it will have to be oper-
ated in connection with the Northern
Pacific, If not by hat company. The
main cost of the road will be provided
for by bonds, and the bond-holders will
be the real owners. 1t is for the stock
holders to provide for the surveys and
the building of the first section. The
money to do this ought to come princi-
pally from the real estate men, the own
ers of the Drum Lummon and those
who have coal mines on the Dearborn
and at Sand %coulee, or elsewhere along
the route.
There is no possible doubt that a pay
ing business awaits the first section
from the day Of its completion. 1t
ought not to take twenty-four hours to
get the stock taken.

A GOOD RAILROAD TALK.

The following timely and sensible ar.
ticle on the Helena & Benton railroad
project we reprint from the Herald, as
of Especial interest to our readers:
There is a prospect that the general
business of a railroad building will show
a sharp decline this year. Look which
ever way you choose, and there is COM
paratlvely little preparation tor build
ing new roads. The principal trans
continental roads in this country are
done for years to come, till the country
is better settled and the present roads
get down to a permanent paying bust
ness at fair rates.
Iustead of this circumstance being
~unfavorable to the building of a branch
road to Benton, it il one of the most
favorable facts to insure early success.
The men that have been engaged in
road building, being out of work, will
compete more sharply for jobs and take
them at lower figures. The same is true
of capital. There is plenty of it in the
country. There has been no loss except
in the shrinkage of speculative values.
There is more money than ever for good
investments, and during the season we
are certain that the bonds of this branch
road can be negotiated as favorably as
the best OF last year. And it is equally
true of the cost of rails, that it will be as
favorable this season as ever for a long
series of years. So when contractors
are plenty, when labor and material are
cheap. and money is easy at low rates, it
seems to present a concurrence of favor
ing circumstances to make it lust the
time to push out branches.
Just as soon as field work is possible,
the work OF surveying should be COM
menced, SO that BY July the entire route
can be. settled upon andtthe work be
begun. BY that time w1ssfancy there
will be some thousands}of disappointed
gold seekers ready to take any sort of a
job that gives promise Of a grub-stake
for the ensuing winter. We should have
the line running to the Drum Lummon
vicinity by October, and work on the
section to the mouth of Sun river well
advanced, sc that any difficult pieces
of rock work could be prosecuted dur
ing the ensuing winter, and the sec
ton fully completed early the following
season.
If work is begun at the Benton end
also this season, and we see no good
reason why it should not, the whole line
could be easily finished next season in
good time.
Let nobody be foolish enough to think
of a~ntagonizing the Northern Pacific in
this matter. It is out of the question

A LIBERAL RAILROAD KING.

Mr.. J. j. Hill has been lecturing the
farmers of the northwest for years to
raise cattle as we'll as wheat, and not to
depend solely m the latter crop. At the
same time he urges that they discard
the scrub stock, and raise only
thoroughbred or grade animals, which
are sure to bring them a better return
for the money invested, and at the same
time advance the general stock interests
of that section. Having preached this
doctrine without very satisfactory re-
suits for so long, Mr.. Hill now proposes
to put this theory into practice on a
scale of liberality that is as generous as
it is novel from men occupying his pesi-
ton. He proposes to assist the farmers
along the line of his road to realize the
benefits pointed out. He doesn't appear
in the role of a benefactor, but in that Of
a practical man, who sees into the future
and is satisfied that results will justify
present liberality.
He has now en- route from Great Brit
ain thirty bulls (polled Angus and Short
horn in breed-the former predominant
ing), and within the next two or three
years will import 100 in all. These bulls
the best of their kind-he will give to
counties along the lines of the Manitoba.
They will be placed in charge of respon-
sible men, sets of men, or societies, who
will see to it that they are used for the
benefit of farmers who desire to improve
their stock. The compensation for SER
vice is to be fixed at a rate sufficient
simply to pay for the keeping of the
animals-no less and no more. AS a
rough calculation, each of the thirty can
serve forty cows, and this will insure
about 1900 half-breed calve, which, in
three years, will attain sixteen or eigh-
teen hundred pound proportions. Later
he will give to the counties pure-bred
bears and bucks on the same terms of
service as the bulls are now donated.
Mr.. Hill says simply, that while he has
not the time to convince the farmers
along the line of the Manitoba Of the de-
STABILITY of raising good cattle, he has it
in his power to give them practical OPP
%portuHities to convince themselves, and
this he proposes to do.
Here is an example that Gould, Van
derbilt, Huntington and the rest of the |
magnates might emulate with good
effect.
