The Superiority of Helena workmanship IN
Is Being Reeognixed.
II 10 NOT 40 long ago that all the hard
wood furnishings and office fxtures used In
Helena were ordered from the east. But
this ID rapidly changing, and now but few
orders for this sort OF work are sent ont of
town. This 10 due to the fact that Helena
houses do such work as we'll and as cheaply
as it can be procured from the east. Tho
principal establishment in this line in
Helena is the Montana Lumber and Manu-
featuring company. They have just com
pleted contract with the Helena school
district for furnishing cases and cabinets
for the high school building. The list com-
prised cases for chemicals and scientific
apparatus, book case and library table.
They are all of white oak, finish ed in splen-
did style. and for beauty and workmanship
could not be excelled anywhere. The same
establishments has recently fitted up its Of
fee in the Hotter block, using red oak. II

of the kind in the city. The same Arm has
Just completed a handsome contract at the

SAN FRANCISCO GREAT SALT LAKE,

Three Surveying Parties Now in the Field
Report Good Progress.
Latest advices from the coast are to the
effect that there are now three surveying
parties in the field. all of which are under
the control of the promoters of the San
francisco q Great Salt Lake scheme. A
correspondent of the Bulletin says the sur
veyors have made Investigations and asked
questions of hundreds of old residents of
the mountains, and their testimony agrees
on this point. that the snow falls mostly
upon she two western ranges of mountains
and the third or easterly one. where Beck
with Pass is found. is com paratively free of
snow at all seasons. A splendid lumber
and dairying region was found in the Beck
with and Mohawk valley country. What
inquiries were made showed that large
quantity of ore awaited shipment as soon as
the road WAS built.
One party under Engineer Root is at
work in Sierra valley. One under Mr.
LoIain is between Big Bar and Flea valley
creek, and by the 4th of the month will
have finished the survey to Big Bar. where
the work was begun by Engineer Oliver.
On Friday last the party under Oliver was
at the mouth of the west branch, and had
completed all the difficult work of the route.
From the mouth of the west branch to Oro-
Vile the distance is but fifteen miles and
the country an easy one with low grades.
1t is stated by two Of the surveyors that the
whole work will be completed within six
weeks. This probably includes the run
ming Of a second or final line for location,
as the parties in the field have received Or
ders to make this as speedily as possible
1t is reported here that a party ia at work
this side of Sacramento surveying toward
Oroville.

It ia possible that some trouble may be
engendered between the transcontinental

the Pacific coast, where the holder went
through st. Paul one wav. General Pas

they were entitled to that sum. The roads
replied that it was on the basis of the sum

THE MONTANA SOUTHERN
An Enthusiastic Meeting at Twin
Bridges Of Those Interested
in the Project
Madison County People Convinced
That Helena Men Mean
Business.
Rirht Of Way Pledged, and the Ladies'
Agree to Do Their Share 90 Push
the Enterprise.

TWIN BR1paEs, Oct Especial. The
people OF Twin Bridges and vicinity have
taken hold of the project to construct
railroad from Helena 10 southern Montana
with the greatest enthusiasm. and the Hell
sna men who have pledged themselves to
see that the road is built if the residents OF
this portion of the state will do their duty
may rest assured that the aid they will re-
ceiye from the people of this valley VIII be
of a substantial character. Wednesday
evening Good Templars hall was packed
with residents Of this vicinity who went TO
hear Hon. Sam Word tell what the men OF
Helena would do toward the construction
of railroad from Helena TO southern Mon
taaa. Mr., Word was at his very best ana
he spoke for an hour. Men came to the
meeting with their wives distance OF six
teen miles, and there were representative
citizens present from all the contiguous
country. Mr., Word presented an array OF cold
facts that not only aroused the enthusiasm
of his audience, but convinced them that
Helena meant business; that her merchants
wanted a railroad into southern Montana.
and that they would build it if the people
along the line would give the right OF way
and do all they could to help themselves.
When MIR. Word had concluded eight or ten
gentlemen replied to him. and pledged
themselves and the residents Of the valley
10 give the right of way and as much other
aid as they could.
Three COMMITTEES, composed of three
members each, were appointed to get con-
acts for right of way from Beaverhead
ranch to Twin Bridges. from Twin Bridges
to the north line of Madison county. and
from there to the mouth of Boulder creek.
One of the features of the meeting was the
part the ladies took in it. One of the
ladies, after a whispered talk with some
others, arose in the meeting and said: 1--WE
ladies will raise the money ourselves to pay
all the expenses of the COMMITTEES"
Another lady said: I'VE ladies propose that
each of the men shall grade quarter of
mile. and if they will we will 60 out and
help them in the work. We will hold the
pic n or drive the horses or do anything to
get railroad through the valley" This
was received with enthusiasm.
When Col. Word gets back to Helena and
tells the people at she auditorium, as he
intends to do, about the meetings in south
ern Montana, and how the people down here
are aroused. Helena men have got to push
the Southern Montana railroad. with their
dollars and their influence. and that, too.
within a short time, and thus make their
promises good.
Gen. w. A. Haven. the we'll known rail
road engineer, is travelling with Mr.. Word.
and he says the proposed line is one of the
most favorable ever built In the state.
