THAT ROCKY FORK RAILROAD.
S . T. Hauser has the Contract to Complete it.

.. ! "a. [1auSeE mas LNe contract 70 complete IL
WASHINGTON, Special telegram, Dec. 20
A dispatch from New York to the Pioneer
Press bureau tonight states that 9 < Gov.
Hauser, Of Montana has taken the contract
for building the somewhat long deferred
Rocky Fork and Cooke City Railroad, run
ming from Laurel up the. Yellowstone 10
Cooke City. The bill giving the road right
of-way through the Crow reservation stipu.
lated that it should be built within two
years. The road was to furnish Montana
with coal, Of which large deposits lay At the
southern terminus. It wa graded and
brldged when Sims, Wizards old private
Secretary, appeared in Congress with . bill
for = parallel line, and the prospects Of
building such . line swamped the Rocky
Fork road and rendered it impossible to
raise funds for it. Sims bill for the Billings,
Clark's Fork & Cooke City road finally
passed despite the opposition Of Toole him
self and I number Of the Congressman, and
it took but . few months to explode the
bubble and show that Sims could neither
secure the right-of-way across the reservs-
ton or money to build. Then the Rocky
Fork road took . new start and for the past
