Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1898-02-23

Lewistown is a long way from the
national capital, but if war is de-
clared, or commenced. we believe
some of our younger citizens will
move quick enough to get a place in
the ranks before the eastern states
have furnished all the troops or sea
men desired. When the news of the
Maine disaster was received last
week and the impression prevailed
that it was the result of a Spanish
plot, there were many who only
waited a call to arms and were eager
to hear it.

A case of interest to every school
trustee, teacher and parent i'm the
state was decided by the supreme
court las week. 1t was in an &C
ton brought in Missoula county to
decide whether money raised by spe-
cial levies authorized by an election
could be used for the payment OF
teachers salaries-in other words
whether the residents Of school dis.
tricts could use any money for pay.
ing teachers except that raised by
the general levy or received from the
state fund or fines. The supreme
court holds that any monies may be
used for the payment of teachers and
that the impression that money
raised by special levies can only be
used for building purposes or
purchase of material, is wrong. The
decision will result in many districts
continuing their school for a full
term, while II the decision had been
the other way, the funds on hand,
though sufficient, not could have
been applied to paying the teachers.

A Telephone Line to Billings.
billings i

There is every indication that be-
fore many months elapse Billings
will be connected with Lewistown
by telephone. The project for the
formation of a stock company and
the construction of the line is rapidly
assuming definite shape and it is pro-
posed to hold a preliminary meeting
in the city in a few days to discuss
the proposition and arrange the de-
tails. Yesterday Chris Yegen, one of
the principal promoters OF the con-
templated enterprise, returned from
a trip to the Musselshell country and
to Lewistown and is confident that
the line will be built. His trip was
for the especial purpose of interview
ing the ranchers and stockmen along
the proposed line and he reports
having met with much encourage
ment. Many of those with whom he
talked signified their Willingness to
promote the enterprise by taking
stock in the company to be formed
and it is stated that sufficient money
has been pledged already reconstruct
the line from Roundup, where the

from thence down the river to Mus
selshell crossing, a total distance of
seventy-five miles. From Roundup
the line will be extended up the Mus
selshell to Martinsdale and possibly
connection made at Okla, with the
old telephone system to Lewistown.
However, this has lot as yet been
fully decided. 1t is estimated that
the line can be built for $50 per mile.
The men who are interested in the
enterprise mean business and they
confidently assert that the project
will m~aterialize. The building OF
the line to Lewistown would give
Billings telephone connection with
Great Falls, Missoula, Helena, Butte,
Anaconda, Bozeman and Livingston,
and would tend to increase our trade
relations with the Musselshell peo-
Dle.

cratic administration to sell both
the Union and Kansas Pacific at a
figure twenty millions less than the
governments claim-they would like
to have the public forget this. The
present administration secured the
full amount of the governments
claim, including interest, from the
sale of the Union Pacific, but could
not do as well in this case, because
the Kansas Pacific is not nearly as
| valuable as it was when the mort
gage was made. The government
has secured from the re-organiza-
ton committee all the road is worth
and some fifteen millions more than
the Democratic administration was
willing to take.
