RAILROAD Possibilities.

We publish in connection with the
latest railroad rumor, a communica-
ton from one who is familiar with the
most probable routes through the
Judith Basin, some of which have
been surveyed. 1t will be observed
that a movement on the part of the
Northern Pacific is Immediately fol-
lowed by activity on the part OF the
Manitoba. The latter road now has
a crew OF surveyorssen route to the
Belt mountains, and there is a rumor
that the road will be built to Neihart
this season, ii not to Barker and the
Wolf creek mines.
Any road that should enter the
Judith Basin without approaching
the Judith mountains as nearly as
possible would he short sighted in ITS
policy. For this reason we believe the
best route for the Northern Pacific
from Billings, lies east of the Snowy
mountains, which would bring the
line through the centre of the Judith
range or down the Spring creek valley
through Lewistown. This route would
tap the Bull Mountain coal mines,
the rich valleys and bench lands south
of the SnOwies. and the well-settled
and stock raising sections of Willow,
Flatwillow and Mcdonald creeks
Mines are the objective points OF
branch railroads in Montana, and so
far the mines OF the Judith range have
produced more gold and silver than
all the other districts in Central Mon
tana combined This district has one
Of the richest gold mines in the west,
the Spotted Horse, and there are
Others only waiting for capital and
facilities for development to prove
them equally as rich. Mr.. Hauser,

KATE NJ.
The above comminicatI ION prob
ably expresses the views nj many OF
our ranchmen at the present time.
The trouble arises from the want OF u
home market or an outlet to distant
markets. The production is far in
excess OF consumption. When the
merchant gets IA large supply on hand
he ceases to buy and is in the same
boat as the producer in II measure.
There is no market or way OF dispos-
ing of oats at present. hence the mer-
chant will not take only u limited
quantity and then only in trade.
There are some things mentioned in
the above that have only recently
been offered for sale to our merchants
and they generally get such supplies in
the east in large quantities, thus en-
aiding them to make "a better margin
than in buying small lots N home.
Ii they could get full supply at home
with quality equal, even with prices IA
little higher, 1t would he short-sighted
policy not to do SO.
Montana merchants have got accus-
toned to different trade than that

tursi ranchman is going to have his
say, and his trade will he worth
counting, even at a little sacrifice.
We believe the time is coming when
no meat OF the hog will be shipped into
Montana. We should raise our own
pork. The imported ham and bacon
is vile stun at best.
With the development OF our mines,
the building OF railroads and towns,
and rail communication with the arge
cities OF the new state, will come the
remedy for present stagnation in the
sale OF ranch products. 1t will require
close figuring, economy and patience
to tide over the months or years of
