BILLINGS NEW ROAD.
The B~urlington's First Passenger Train
at billings unday

The B~urlington's First Passenger Train
at billings sunday.
Sunday morning a large crowd gather
ed at the Union depot in Omaha to wit
ness the departure of the first passenger
train which would enter Billings over
the Burlington extension of l4i miles
from Sheridan, Wyo., to the city in the
Yellowstone valley. At 1875 p. m. the
first passenger train over that line
entered the Montana terminus, bringing
the employees on the train, employees of
the Adams Express company and a few
passengers. The express company i'm
mediately opened an office in the city.
Hereafter the regular time Of arrival
will be 9:45 p. NJ, and departure for the
east II p. m. Thus is opened up to the
commerce of Omaha, Kansas City, st.
Louis and Chicago not only the country
Immediately tributary to Billings, but
all of Western Montana and the Puget
sound country, to which connections OF
the Burlington penetrate.

company to own 10000 acres in Deer
Lodge county which they had bought
and paid for and which though virtually
useless except as a dump was asses ed
at S7.75 per acre, while in the same
county the Northern Pacific owned
2l9,OOO acres Of agricultural land that
was only assessed at G5 cents per acre.
But he wanted to get a little nearer to
home and speak of Northern Pacific land
in Cascade county. Right here in the
vicinity Of Great Falls the Northern
Pacific owps 26 sections, on which it
pays a tax of &8l4 1G. or less than five
cents per acre, while in the same locality
"a part Of the same land-J. M. Gaunt
owns 80 acres on which he pays $40 80
taxes, or at the rate of 1917 cents per
aero. This simply illustrates the dis.
state in favor of
THE RAILROAD CORPORATION.
In addition to owning too much land
the Anaconda is accused of having
too much power, of paying out too much
wages, Of employing 5000 men at 50 per
day besides the men that it employs in
railroads, wood chopping and other
branches. That of course is a logical
argument and should have weight with
the wo%rkingmen; but let us zee what
Helena, who is SO loud in denunciation
of corporations, has done in this line.
