will then strike the st. Regis Borgia
river and follow it's course tn Mullen.
There is now a narrow gauge road from
Mullen to Cpur stAlene. This will be
made a hrnast gauge road and will be ex-
tended from Ceur d'Alene to Hauser
junction. where it will join the main
line. AS soon as Mr.. kendrick gets the
exact course Of the line located engineers
will start to work and build the road,

an almost straight line from Missoula to-
Hauser Junction, shortening the dist
ance about eighty miles.
Independent: Within the past few
days some Idaho parties brought to
Butte car load of horses for sale. In
formation soon reached Stock Commits
sioner Largey and Veterinary Holloway
that some of these horses were diseased.
The owners, learning that the authori-
ties were after them, promptly disposed
of the sick horses and by the time the
veterinary surgeon reached Butte they
could not be found. DR.. Holloway at
once placed the exposed animals in quar-
antine and a vigorous search was insti-
tuted for the missing ones. The own
ers were offered the alternative of keep
ing all their horses in quarantine for
ninety days or taking them back to
Idaho. They chose the latter, and we're
escorted over the boundary line by a
special deputy. The sick ones have.
probably been destroyed by this time.
In speaking of the matter to DR.. Hollo-.
way, he said that he killed six horses i'm
Missoula county last week, all OF which
were affected by an old horse brought
into the country from Idaho.
