Like her sister railroads the Great
Falls q Canada has been suffering from
Wnahouts, owing to the late severe rains.
There are washouts at Piegan, Steele
and soveral other places. Trains will
not run before Friday and possibly not
before next week. Until this unfor.
trnate obstacle interviewed the road had
been receiving about three carloads of
wool daily.
o. g. Cooper, the Choteau wool grow
or, says the rain storm of Friday, Satur-
day and Sunday was the severest he has
evor eeen in the country. Muddy creek
at his rarch was three feet higher than
IL was ever known before. 1t invaded
his corral and stable and for a time his
hay stacks were several feet under water.
Other streams in that section were up in
proportion but no serious damage was
done that he heard of.
F. j, Morrison, a prominent rancher
from the Judith country, is in the city.
Mr.. Morrison says that a corps of engi-
neers are surveying a line through the
basin and to Great Falls. 1t is said to
be the same corps which was at work in
the Mussleshell country last year. The
party is in the employ of the Burlington
q Missouri, whose present terminus is in
northern Wyoming. 1t is supposed that
the road will come to Billings and from
there on. Speaking of the Judith basin
MI. Morrison said it was looking fine
The wool would, he thought, amount tt
not less than 1,000,OO pounds. Cattle
are also in excellent condition and som
large shipments are looked for from the
basin. As to horses and horse ranches
their name is legion. All kinds, from tn,
humble pony to the finest, are being
raised. Mr.. Morrison registers from hi
own place, Philbrook.
