Considered a Bluff.
The n. p. railroad is receivingn no favors
from the territorial press III its fight
against the Hontana Central enterprise,
and lis course is considered nothing than
a big bluff, of which nothing viii come.
4 correspondent OF the Livingston Enter
prise, writing from Helena, says:
This is the day that fools long ago
dubbed "All Fools Day but | hope to
write you no fool letter. But speaking
of fools reminds me OF a very insane con-
dition Of affairs here in Helena. Your
readers have all heard how 8 syndicate,
ostensibly headed by Col. G. A.. Broad
water Of this city, had undertaken the
construction Of a railway known as the
Montana Central, reaching in n direc-
ton to the Red Mountain mining district
and in the other to the Great Falls of the
Missouri and to the adjacent Sand Coulee
coal fields. This road is already under
construction and, ii present plans are
carried out, will be completed within the
year. Now the foolishness of which |
am reminded is another railroad project
ostensibly backed by Gov. Hauser which
proposes to parallel the Broadwatsr road
and. to that end, already has surveyors
in the field. Il use the term ''ostensibls"
in referring to both projects with partic-
ular meaning. for as Il matter of fact
neither scheme is backed by the man who
appears as its figureEead. The Montana
Central is projected by q syndicate hay
ing for its head j. Hill, president Of the
St. Paul, Minneapolis s. Manitoba railway
and for its other supporters some CT the
chiet capitalists of Minnesota and Chicago,
The company that proposes to parallel
| the nontana Central is really the North
| ern Pacific, acting through its close ally,
Gov. Haus:r. The ennlity between the
Manitoba railway and the Northern Pa
cifc is of long standing, growing out of
| rival relations in Minnesota and Dakota.
and is naturally heightened by what ap.
pears like q bold nov on the part of that
company to invade the Northern Pacific
country, either by means of an extension
of the Manitoba system into Northern
Montana to connect with the Montana
Central OF by q branch in the same direc
ton Of the Canadian Pacific, with which
the Manitoba is nclose community. Add
ed to this is Il personal and business (evei
politicaD rivalry between Broadwater ane
Hauser, both af whom aspire to appear
as leaders in Montana. Both positiyel,
affirm that their respective railroad pro
jects are Immediately to be carried tt
consummation. Broadwater's scheme
Ehas advanced to the stage of active con
struction, the whole road being practical
" under contract; Hauser's project ha
not got beyond the point of promiscuou
talk and the beginning of a survey
Broadwater's syndicate has given the ad
ditional pledge of very large purchase
of mining property in the Red Mountain
district, of a large scope of coal lands a
Sand Coulee and the entire water poWe
at Great Falls. The Northern Paciti
movement is looked upon largely as
bluff game but the fact remains that til
announcement is made by Gov. Hause
that work is to proceed.

4 Miles City correspondent says; The
moving spirit Of the Montana Central is
Col. c. A. Broadwater of Helena, and his
hackers are j. j. Hill, a. Il, Wilder and
Dennis Ryan Of st. Paul; Marshal Field,
the Chicago dry goods man, and a New
York capitalist. Each one has subscribed
$4,000, GOO for Col. Broadwater railroad
enterprise in Montana, and each ona is
able to pay his subscription in ready cash,
The falls of the Missouri was long ago
acquired by j. Hill by means Of cover
ing the land on each side with scrip.
Sand Coulee coal fields were acquired lin
der patent by the syndicate in the name
of Col. Broadwater. Other purchases
have been made. The whole line Of the
road from Helena to Red mountain has
| been let for construction and is now in
| progress and the line to Great Falls has
been nearly all surveyed, and the grading
contracts let.
