The new North-west. [volume] (Deer Lodge, Mont.) 1869-1897, 1888-01-06

The River Press with some degree of
plausibility claims that . strong influence in
the location of the Northern Pacific via
Helena instead of Butte WAS that had the
Butte route been selected Helena would
have built . railroad to Fort Benton, Afford
Ing . strong competitive traffic liae in direct
competition with the railroad. But the N.
p. could have built ! line into Helena from
Three Forks and have broken those who use
the river route three or four months year.
There was no Interstate Commerce law to
prohibit special rates, and 4 river that is
only ~navigable ~ the Missouri is could not
have saved its friends from the railroad.
The Press is doubtless correct that when the
great Indian reservation north Of It is broken
up, % 1t should be now and will be some
day not far of, Benton will tave = great
prosperity, but w believe 1t was other and
stronger considerations than those 1t cites
which induced the location of the Northern
Pacific via Helena.

THE TIE THAT BINDS,
The United States Spends 1926 900, 900 in r.
r. Building in 1887.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. 29.-The Raiacay Age
in : review Of the railway construction fol
the year 1887, will say tomorrow that 1881
has surpassed all other years in the extent Of
railway mileage constructed iK.3the United
States, the total so far reported reaching
1884 miles and the reports yet to come will
probably swell it to not less than 1900
miles. This is ell new main line track, side
track or relaid track not being counted. The
greater part of this p%rodigious increase of
railways has taken place in . few Western
States. Kansas leads with = total Of 2,O70
miles. Nebraska comes next with 1,l01 and
Texas with 1855. Then the following:
Colorado s1s, Dakota 100, Michigan 700,
Montana GIG, Missouri 554, Indian Territory
400 and so on. A careful estimate shows
not far from 1926, 0O0, 700 have been expea-
ded on the lines completed during the year,
counting buildings, equipments, etc. The
money which has thus been expended fur.
nished temporary employment to . vast army
Of workmen, and has given permanent work
to another army Of probably & 5000. The
extensions Of the year bring the railway
mileage Of the United States to 150,710
miles. @.m.

ted by cutting the throat of the first member
Of the murderer's family he happened to
meet. Thereafter every member Of both
families went armed, and hostile encounters
were common. Recently the church and
the authorities interfered and persuaded the
families to peace. One day the men Of both
clans visited the church and swore to keep
peace and embraced and kissed each other,
Next day it was the women's turn. Dressed
in their finest, they also swore peace and
forgetfulness. Two weeks ago peace was
celebrated At mass, and 600 persons kissed
the crucif1x held out by the Bishop, and
promised to forgive and forget. Alter this .
general banquet was spread for all the sur.
rounding country, At which were laid 20
bushels OF macaroni, 10 cows, 10 pigs, coo
pounds Of bread, 1000 pounds Of fruits and
20 barrels of wine.

Railroad for White Sulphur Springs.
H~usbQndmQn. 22d.

The arrival of G. o. Foss, A. E, Howard
and o. j. Milton, of the Northern Pac;f,
survey corps, Friday evening last, convinced
our people that the rumors afloat in regard
to the possibility of railway connection viii
the rest OF the world have at least soma
foundation. These gentlemen have been az
aiming the various routes across the NOM
tains from the Missouri valley for a branch
road for the Northern Pacific to White sul-
phur Springs and Castle. The two princina,
routes examined were the Sixteen-M;1 H.
creek and the Deep creek passes. and # is
probable that the latter, crossing the RANGE
in the vicinity of Murray and striking tha
Smith river valley at the mouth of Mavn,s
creek. and branching off at that point for
Castle, will prove the most practical. II ia
understood that Mr.. Hauser, of Helena. con-
templates erecting a large smelter r,ant
somewhere on the line of the Northern p.-
ciic between Bedford and the month -
Sixteen-Mile creek, and as he is the mov;no
spirit in this branch, this will probably h.ve
to do with the starting point If
the road, and on this greatly depends tho
route chosen. But come from where il w;1,
we are assured that tho Springs is the obiec,
tive point. The present examination ~
routes is only preliminary, and If found s.t-
isfactory will result in a + perhan. th;.
winter.

THE trouble between the Reading Railroad

The trouble between the Reading Railroad
Company and certain assemblies of the
knights of Labor still continues. The
strike so far Is the operation Of tho road is
concerned has been q failure and the knights
have been badly worsted, the Reading
assemblies declining to participate. The
General Executive Committee has not been
called upon but certain assemblies and the
Miners Amalgamated Association yesterday
ordered . general strike at the fifty five COL
lieries of the Reading read. This Is their
final recourse and If the r. r. company can
stand it off it will be . severe blow to both
organizations. Powderly deplores the cause
of trouble and seems to think the miners
broke faith with the R. r. company.

To A. X. YERKEs, ESQ, Corr. SecretQry
Mont Press Association, Bozeman, N. r.:
DEAR gin .a~ the death
of Joseph E. Hendry, editor of the Helena
Independent, is received with profound sor'
row.
A truly good and noble co-worker has laid
down his pen and rests in that sweet repose
where the call for copy no longer disturbs
him. His loss is deeply mourned. 1t will
be felt not alone by the brothers of the press
with whom he was engaged in a great work
and in almost daily communication, weaving
threads of thought which all admired, but
the people throughout the mountain country
will miss him. M...
He was q man Of true and refined princi.
piles, endowed with that peculiar magnetism
which made friends of every person he met;
a man with a sympathetic heart, and whose
bold and fearless writing possessed those
powers of attraction which drew the reader
on and are convincing. In his demise the
Montana Press Association loses one of its
brightest, most exemplary and gifted mem
bers, and / recommend that as a manifesto
ton of high regard for the deceased, and
sympathy with his bereaved family, the
usual badge of mourning be worn by the
brotherhood for thirty days.
The suggestion that a monument be erected
to the memory of the departed brother is
most cordially concurred in, and I name
James H. Mills, of the NEW NORTH WEST,
George II. Wright, Of the Livingston Enter
prise, and William H. Todd, of the River
Press, a committee to solicit and receive
subscriptions for that purpose. Said COM
mittee will report the result of their efforts
at the next annual meeting of the Press
Association. w. H. SUTHERL1N,

Kind Words, Duly Appreciated.

The editor Of the NEW NORTHWEST
makes note of the fact that he has passed
his fftieth birthday and the present week
marks the t%wenty-frst anniversary of his

Post, and remained with that paper at Vir-
ginia City and helena to the close. In 1858
he established the NEW NORTHWEST 1t
Deer Lodge, and through the intervening
years has been continuously its editor and

Capt. Mills has ever been At the journalistic
helm in this Territory, nor one who has
more impressed the public thought for the
public good. Our cordial congratulations
on the prosperous careerof the NEW NORTH.
