the land can be acquired under the home

THE RAILROAD MOVEMENT.

The great and growing trade Of Mon
tana is attracting more than ever the at
tention of railroad companies. As Ma
jor Maginnis observed in a speech here,
Montana is the highway through which
all railroads must proceed to the Pacific
coast-that is, such as take a northern
route. The Northern Pacific was the
first to penetrate Montana and in a short
time had acquired the bulk of the trade
which the Missouri river lines to Benton
had so long enjoyed. That railroad con
tinued to control the Montana traffic un-
til in 18s6-97, then the Manitoba and its
allied line, the Montana Central, provided
the territory with new route to the great
eastern markets. The advent of the new
lines has disturbed the whole railroad
system of Montana. Their influence has
been felt with marked effect by the
Northern Pacific, which ever since this
"invasion OF its territory has striven to
hold the Manitoba in check by the con
struction of branch lines and by meeting
the reductions in freight which the latter
established.
The boldest movement of the Northern
Pacific is the projected line from the
Gallatin valley to Butte. So long as
there was no rival line to Butte the North
ern Pacific was content to divide with the
Union Pacific the traffic of that great
mining camp. But the completion of the
Manitoba and Montana Central lines
from St. Paul direct to Butte has aroused
the torpor of the Northern Pacific and it
is now taking steps to regain its hold.
This is the meaning of the surveys in
the Pipestone Pass and elsewhere. This
likewise accounts for the haste with
which the Northern Pacific is acquiring
land for depot in Butte.
Meanwhile, the Union Pacific is not
idle. 1t has derived considerable busi-
ness from Butte as JOINT owner with the
Northern Pacific of the Montana Union.
Like all ownerships Of that kind, the
agreement has been attended with dissat=
isfaction to all concerned. Accordingly,
the Union Pacific is resolved to build into
Helena from Dillon and thus acquire a
firm hold on the Montana trade that may
enable it to hold in check the Northern
Pacific should that company become ag-
gressive. m" "N
This is not ALL There are good pros
poets of railroad from Butte to Mis-
soula and thence to junction with the
Oregon Railway and Navigation com
pany's track, which extends from Port.
land. 1t is reported also that the North
ern Pacific intends to build from Billings
to Great Falls, whence, in time, there
will be railroad that will connect this
city with the Canadian Pacific, giving ac-
cess to all places on that extensive sys-
tenn.
Thus for reasons such as have impelled
three railroad companies to pass Mount
ain ranges to acquire access to Butte, will
railroad companies direct their lines to
Great Falls where the combination Of
water power, coal and the silver mines of
the Belt mountains afford inducements
that no railroad can neglect if it would
keep pace with its rivals.

THE American Wool Reporter announ-
ces that there will be another shipment
of American merinos to the Argentine
republic in May and says: "The continu-
ance of the expectations made by Ver-
mont breeders, certainly attests the high
estimation in which their sheep are held,
and the growing favor with which they
are meeting. The splendid animals
which have composed previous shipments
have no doubt paved the way for lucra-
tive trade which we hope to see grow to
large proportions; as in the rich, vast and
comparatively new growing country
of the River Plate, our heavy shearing
and fine tleeced merinos can and are
proving very beneficial in increasing the
quantity and advancing the value of the
wool clip,''

More Railroads.

And now there is talk of new rail-

information we can gather, we be-
lieve it will be done in the near fu-
ture.-Decherd Headlight.
We are glad to see our neighbor
agitating more railroads, we don't
care much where from or where to,
so they are built through our section
wherever needed. The line spoken
of above has been the subject of much
agitation at various times in the past
and we should not wonder if it don't
materialize sometime sOon.-TullahO-

No, we should not wonder at all if
it don't, but we should be very much
surprised if it did. Was this clever
piece of sarcasm on the part of the

in the future ere another railroad Is
built frOm Decherd to McMinnville.

not in that direction at present. Nc
