A Now Railway il Montana.

The completion Of, the Northern Pa
ciiic Ry., from White Hall, Mont, to
Twin Bridges, Mont, q distance Of
twenty six miles, opens up to both the
miner and farmer the limitless re-
sources Of the famous Jefferson Valley,
rich both in the quantity and quality
OF its mineral deposits and in the fer
tility of it's soil which for farming is
equal to any in Montana. The three
rivers which enter the valley separate
~ but unite before going very far, fur
nish an abundance Of pure water for
all the present and future needs Of the
valley.
Twin Bridges is situatedin the north
western orner Of Madison county at
the head of the beautiful jefferson
Valley. On either hand are mountain
ranges stretching away in hedistance;
here the contentment and freedom of
the farmers life is co~ntrasted with the
business activity of the miners voca-
ton; to the right the eye beholds herds
of cattle and horses grazing on grass

just at present the mining industry
is most prominent gold being the
principal metal taken from the ground,
but with the Northern Pacific COM
pleted and in operation to Twin Bridg-
es, the farmer and miner alike will
prosper beyond anything heretofore
possible.
To the owners of mines the railway
I'm - "a --.k!-.LN ..nN.n -~lkl. -
fiux of capital and consequent intro
duction of cheaper and more modern
mining methods, will be a Godsend to
numberles miners who have hundreds
of tons Of low grade ore that could not
before be handled with profit owing to
the expense of hanling to the railway
by wagon.
AS a place of residence this valley
has found favor with many of Mon.
tana's prominent people and the num-
Der of pretty little towns with their
comfortable homes, scattered here and
there, bear evidence of its popularity.

When Stephen Crane wrote "The
Red Badge Of Courage" he had never
been in q field of battle and new moth
ing Of military affairs. His work ex-
cited great admiration. But later on
he went to Cuba and was in the front
at San Juan Hill, and In the December
Cosmopolitan we have another story,
this time from the real field Of battle,
entitled aThe Wool Of Thin Red
Threads" It will be interesting for
those who are familiar with his previ-
GUS work to compare the two-the Inn
aginary and the real. Apropos of the
name Cosmopolitan it is rather curl
GUS to note that the December issue Of
that magazine contains one article
having to do with Spain, another with
India, another with japan, another
with Cuba, another with Jamaica, an
other, with England, another with
Rome and still another with France.
This is . pretty wide range.

makeup to the 1898 calendar, although
it has more artistic covers and is more
profusely illustrated. Any person
