The Burlington Railroad to Build
Its Line Through Montana
With All Speed.
Boston Officials Positive That 1t
Will Reach the Castle Camp
This Year.
The Alton Will Try the Courts-From
North to South A~merica-Union
Pacific on the Sound.

Thomas Hanlon, the w%ell-known mining
man of White Sulphur Springs, arrived
Yesterday from a trip to New York and
Boston. He found great interest in Mon
tana among the leading capitalists of both
cities. Perhaps the best news that MIR.
Hanlon brings is the assurance from the
highest authorities that the Burlington
road will be built through Montana and
will reach Castle this year. Hesays, while
in boston l had long talks with the men
who own the controlling interest in the
Burlington and with other Boston capital
lists who have interests in the mines and
smelters of Montana. / was told positively
that the Burlington road would be run
through Billings and OF to Castle, to which
point it would be- finished during the pres
emit year. From Castle it will be run to
Barker for connection at Great Falls with
the Great Northern. The road is already
graded to Buffalo. Wyoming, and will be
pushed through with all possible expe-
diency. The surveys have already been
made to Billings and from there through
the Musselshell country to Castle. l also
understand that the Burlington will run a
line to Helena. Helena is the natural rail-
road centa1 of the state and will not lose its
prestige as such if the leading men are alive
to the interests of the city. j heard east
that the Northern Pacific people are think
ing of running their line to Castle from
Billings instead of Livingston for the pur-
pose of competing will the Burlington for
business through the Musselshell country.
The Burlington company will run through
trains from Montana to Chicago, Kansas
City and Denver and will make a strong
pull for their share of the business. Of
course the construction of these roads to
Castle will bring a big boom to that camp.
Thu ores will be smelted where the work
can be done the cheapest though Helena
and Great Falls will be greatly benefited
by railroad connections.
Montana is talked about a great deal
in the east. ] heard many inquiries
about our resources from prominent
capitalists in New York and Boston. l be-
lieve there is a greater inclination to invest
in this state than ever before. Boston cap
~italists have received heavy returns from
investments here and New York is now be-
ginning to look in the same direction. A
great deal of money has gone from New
York to the south and southwest but these
investments have not proved SO remuner-
ative as expected. Montana is now claim
ing their attention. There will be a great
deal Ct rail Dad building in this state this
year and this of course means more people
and greater prosperity. | believe it will be
the greatest year for progress in the history
of the State.S

The Presbyterian Church to Go Ahe cad
With Its Chapel.
The trustees of the Presbyterian church
have changed their plans about the build
ing of their contemplated edifice at Elev-
enth avenue and Ewing street. The plans
as originally drawn up were for a two-story
stone structure, the hurch to be in the
uppe part and the seminary school in the
basement. 1t has now been decided to
build a chapel and Sunday school of one
story at once, and add the church proper
later On. The chapel will be of stone and
will be used for both Sunday school and
church purposes. The financial outlook is
very promising and by the time the chapel
is finished, which will be before cold
weather, it will be free of debt. Later on
the church building proper will be put up.
1t will also be one-story high. The chapel
and church will form a fine chain of build
ings.

Saws 1t Is Conspiracy,

An appeal to the courts is to be taken by
the Alton road against any road that refuses
to accept it's tickets. The officials of the
road have had the matter under considers
ton since the issue of the official circular
of the board of rulings and they have finally
come to the conclusion that the best thing
for them to do is to make a test of the
legality of the action threatened against
them. General Passenger Agent James
Charlton has accordingly addressed a COM
munication to the general passen2er agent
of every road named in the board of rulings
circular i'll which he says:
/ do not know how far your company will
pursue the apparent common purpose of the
companies, which the board of rulings
claim to represent, but | deem it my duty
in this%c contingency to advise you that we
shall be constrained to hold all companies,
including. your own. responsible to this
company for any damage which may result
to this company by reason of any effort to
carry into effect the purposes declared in
said notice.
This notice is based on the opinion of
General Solicitor Brown, of the Alton COM
pany, Il copy of which accompanies the no.
tice and which is as follows:
] have considered your communication
OF this date, covering notice signed by
Messrs j. +, Goddard. G. Il. Blanchard, L..
p. Ftrmer and F. G. Donald, committee. l
would respectfully advise you that, in my
opinion, a number of railway companies
have 10 legal right to combine together and
take conce ted action to interrupt the bus
mess of this company as a penalty for your
refusal to enter into any contract with them.
such II combination amounts in law to a
conspiracy, and the participants are re-
s onsible for any injury which may result
therefrom to the business of this COM
pany. This action can have nc reason
able justification in the well-established
right of any individual company to regu-
late and control the sale of its tickets. Your
refusal to decline the payment of com
missions might, under some decisions, jus
tify a particular company in prohibiting
it's agents from handling your tickets, be
cause of the pretext that payment of com
missions might in some imaginary way
interfere with the duties of the agent to his
principal. but it is not readily understood
how the pursuance of the now usual custom
of railroads to sell through tickets and
check baggage through can in any respect
impair the rights or be detrimental to the
railroad which is thus favored with custom.
Since every railroad participating in car
rying out the combined purpose would be
jointly with othe.s, az we'll as severally,
responsible to this company for any injury
resulting to its business, would it not be
well for you to notify each of the pu pose
of this company to hold them legally re-
sponsihle for the consequences of their
course? .

the Corpus Christi and South American
Halfway company, which is constructing a
line of railroad from the United States to
south America, gives a ANA of the
work as far as it has gone, and also the
future plans of the company. He SAYS,

Not Yet Appointed Committee on
Municipal Lighting

Unless Mayor Goodwin intends to ig-
more the entire membership OF the City
Council, he will tonight appoint the two
members of the Board of Aldermen to
complete the joint special committee on
the matter OF municipal plant. The
time is getting short il it is intended to
make thorough investigation, and with
out thorough investigation satisfactory
work cannot be accomplished.
For that reason, II no other, the COM
mite should be appointed at once.
The present lighting contract expires
April l OF next year and IL the informa-
tion is OF satisfactory character 1t should
be in the hands OF the City Council at an
early date in order to be OF benefit to the
city, whether it decides to establish a
plant or renew a contract with the parties
now furnishing the light.
1t is hoped that the Mayor will see the
matter in this light and not entirely defy
public sentiment as voiced by the unani-
nous vote of both branches of the City
Council, in providing for the appointment
of joint special committee to investigat
this question OF municipal lighting by
the city.

Lothrop's Providence Museum.

The popularity of this place of amuse-
ment does not wane In the least but con-
tinues, on the contrary, to increase in
favor, thus attesting to the merit OF the
performances given here. The manage
ment have more than reached the acme OF
success they wished To attain at the first
of the season. The managers understand
what the people like and intend To give it
to them. There is something about the
standard dramas and the conscientious
manner OF rendering that captivates at
once and insures satisfactory patronage.
A grand Thanksgiving holiday bill will
be presented during this week, the prin-
cipal attraction OF which will be a pro-
duction OF Miss Lizzie Evans's fascinat-
ing American romance, entitled "Fogg's
Ferry" which until placed upon the stage
of Manager Lothrop's circuit last week
was never before enacted at popular
prices. The play OF "Fogg's Ferry" is
familiar TO all theatre goers. The scenery is
picturesque and novel, several new sets
having been prepared especially for this
presentation. Among the more preten-
tious OF these might be mentioned: The
ferry house on Rocky Point, where
to thwart the plans of gang OF villains
"Chip," a vivacious untutored child of
nature, discharges tlse torpedo set to
wreck TO incoming ferry boat; Norwood
Gardens; McCoomb's Mil by moonlight
and Norwood parlors.
The cast will include all the members OF
Lotbrops Stock Company with Miss
Ethel Tucker, the charming young
actress, in the role OF Chip, a part in
which Miss Lizzie Evans gained her en-
viable reputation; j. Francis Kirke will
appear az Jim Bolter; Miss Josie Dewey,
as Martha; Cameron Clemens, Henry
Mitchell, James e. McElroy, Thad Gray,
Edwin Barry Miss Frances Newhall, and
Mrs. Desda Barry in congenial roles.
Previous to the dramatic production the
audience will be put in the best Of humor
by the enactment of a laughable farce
