Montana Northern Railroad.

Mr.. Bouscaren, chief engineer and Sec
rotary of the Montana Northern railroad,
is in the city agitating the plan of build
ing a railroad from Great Falls to Cho-
teau. A meeting of the citizens of Cho-
teau was held last Tuesday evening and
it was decided to offer the railroad liberal
inducements in the shape of lands. The
scheme is rapidly assuming definite
shape and the prospects for the early
building of the road are f1attering. The
projectors of the enterprise are enthusi-
astic in regard to the matter. They have
good grounds on which to base their faith
that the road will be profitable. Choteau
and vicinity is the centre of more irriga-
lion companies than any other section of
the state. Large sums of money are be-
Ing expended in canals and bitches and
in a short time the vast benches of fertile
land will be converted into fields of wav-
ing grain. When this is accomplished
there will be no question as to the profits
which a railroad would derive from this
country. Cboteau is surrounded with a
large area of agricultural land and it is
only a matter of two or three years when
she will produce enough grain to supply
the remainder of the state. Besides the
farm products a railroad would assist in
the development of the coal fields and
the gold, silver and lead mines which are
known to exist in the adjacent territory.
