THE GOVERNOR TALKS


About HIS Interest In Montana Railroads.
Gov. Samuel T. Hauser of Montana,
is on his way home from Washington,
and being interviewed In st. Paul re-
garding his contemplated railroad
schemes and his connection with the
Northern Pacific road said that as the
Northern Pacific, under its charter,
cannot build branches In the territory,
necessarily its connections must be
made through outside companies that
construct these branches, In this way
and as president Of one or two of these
branches, Governor Hauser is con-
nected with the railroad construction
Of Montana. The Ten Mile branch
of Montana will, he says, certainly
be completed. Then line is planned
to Fort Benton, forty miles beyond
the present terminus of the Montana
Central, Mr.. Hills new road. Gov
ernor Hauser says that he is not OPP
posed to Mr.. Hill making extensions
into the territory, that the fight be-
tween the Manitoba and the North
ern Pacific railroads Is something
HE is NOT INTERESTED IN.
He appeared in Washington before
the congressional committees and ar
gued for securing the right of way for
J. ]. Hills and the Canadian Pacific
roads into the territory, as well az
we'll as other roads. Congress he says,
is going to reduce the Indian reserva-
ton in the northern part Of the terri.

roads to cross the other one.third.

AS regards the Yukon, 1 can only say

Is only one known route 10 the new

where you leave by schooner to Chill

coed to the mines with but two short
Jortages, the longest of which is under

great many here are of the opinion
that this is the greatest gold country
in the world, but the knowledge Of Its
richness has been kept secret by the
few mining companies at work here.

Important Land Ruling.

Under the old ruling Of the land Of
fee 1t was held that person could
take up GAO acres and the law i'm re-
gard to compactness was fulfilled IL
the longest way, the distance across
such claim, did not exceed one and
one-quarter miles. Under Sparks
reign this ruling has been aunulled,
he holding that the word compact"
meant square. and instructed local
land offices to refuse all desert land
filings in any other shape. The secre-
tary Of the interior has just reversed
the commissioners ruling, and the
former state of things now obtains.

stock Yards and Slaughter Houses to be
Built.
The intention of the Northern Pa
cific 10 establish stock yards on the
reservation about one mile above the
railroad bridge, Is the result of the
competition that was offered last sea-
son by the Canadian Pacific road.
Last season, and previous ones, con-
siderable cattle from the ranges north
of the Yellowstone river were driven
across the border and shipped east via
the Canadian Pacific. All these cattle
legitimately belonged 10 the Northern
Pacific, but went northward because
they had no way to cross the Yellow
stone, unless driven west to Helena
and shipped from that point. A
bridge jointly for wagon and railroad
will be constructed
ACROSS THE RIVER
q mile above the city over which q
spur will run to the north bank of the
river where large stock yards are to
be erected. This will open up to Miles
City this immense district directly
north which Is at present tributary to
points on the Missouri river. princi-
pally Fort Benton. The cattle ship
ped by the Canad Ian Pacific from this
district In seasons past will this season

that the railroad, or some one in the
interest Of the railroad. will erect large
slaughtering houses. This will enable
cattle men to ship their stock on foot
from the north bank Of the Yellow
stone, or drive them over the bridge to
the slaughter houses.

"Life's Golden Morning"

This book, by Rev. Henry Tuckley,
ought to be in the hand of every young
person in the land, especially in this city,
since 1t is Springfield production. 1t
would be beautiful tribute of affectionate
concern as Christmas or New Years gift.
1t is not sensational book, but plain and
practical, terse in expression, sententiOus in
style. replete in happy and forcible illustra-
ton, does not deal in the abstract, but in
the applicate, addresses the understanding
Of the young, presents a kaleidoscope view
of young life and appeals to the higher mo-
tives of human nature in Its most plastic
period. and always urges the claims of
Christ as 1.-The, Way, the Truth, and the
Life" for safety, success, happiness and
right.
Give the book to your boys and girls by
all means. W. J. FINLEY.
