THE NEW RAILROAD.
Hamilton Has Brighter Prospects Than
Ever for the Coming Year.

Ever for the Coming Year.
Hamilton, Dec. 16.-Dirt is now flying
on the extension of the Northern Pa
cific's branch road that penetrates the
Bitter Root valley There will be no
delay in completing this extension, as
it will be needed early in the spring
and it is the intention of the contract
ors to have it ready by that time. The
general understanding is that this road
will be about 10 miles in length at
present. 1t will leave the branch half
way between Hamilton and Grantsdale,
about a mile and a half south of this
city. From there it will cross the river
and follow the base of the mountains
a least as far as Camas Prairie.
This road will penetrate some of the
finest timber land in the upper valley
and will make it possible to deliver logs
promptly at the big sawmills here with
out the expensive river driving that
has in past seasons cost so much time
and trouble. The logs will be loaded
upon the cars in the timber and
brought directly to the mills. BY this
arrangement it will be possible for spe-
cial timber orders to be filled without
| any delay. Whenever such an order
| is received if there are not any logs in
| stock the order can be sent at once
| to the woods, where whatever is wanted
| will be cut at once and sent to the mills
| the same day
| The route of the road is such that
| it can be exetended farther into the
| timber belt whenever it becomes neces-
| sary. This will bring it through a
magnificent farming and fruit growing
| district where there are already flour
| ishing grain and fruit ranches. The
extension of the road will make it cas-
| Ter for the farmers of the upper valley
to get their products to market. They
| will appreciate the extension fully as
much as anybody and it will add much
to the values of their farms and their
products. Such ranches as Harlan's
Kendalrs and others will be brought
much closer to the market towns.
There is no doubt that the branch
| will be extended in time. 1t will open
up region that is as rich as the lower
portion of the valley that has been sc
| much exploited and is the Bitter Roo'
! that is known to the public at large
| Those who imagine that they nave
seen the whole valley of the Bitter ROOF
will be amazed at the extent, beauty
! and richness of the region that will be
opened by the extension.

HOT SPRINGS OF WESTERN MONTANA.

For the seeker after health or pleas
ure Western Montana offers many at
tractiVe inducements. In her noun
tain basins and valleys there are nu-
merous hot springs whose medicinal
properties have been thoroughly test
ed and whose location is such that the
sojourner has every opportunity to
crafty his whims. be he a fisherman,
a hunter. a mountain climber or
photographer. The streams abound in
trout and the hills are full of game.
The rugged peaks afford plenty of OPP
portunity for exploration and eXer-
else and the unsurpassed scenery will
keep a camera busy all the time.
In the Bitter Root valley there are
the famous Wilds' springs, far up the
valley toward the headwaters of the
stream. There the tourist finds soli-
tude and comfort, together with the OPP
portunity to employ the waters of the
springs for their invigorative proper
ties and their curative principles. The
location of these springs is in the heart
of the Bitter Root mountains, whose
wooded sides and rugged peaks sur
round the basin in which the springs

Stevensville is no longer village but a
full fiedged town. 1t is the oldest set
tlement in the state and the newest
town. Its people are in earnest in their
efforts to advance it's interests and it
is likely that the step that they have
just taken will facilitate the realiza-
tion of their hopes for their home.
Stevensville should be one of the most
attractive places in the state. Her nat
ural advantages are numerous and her
commercial advantages are many. In
recent years the town has become i'm
portant as supply point for hay and

been shipped from here to the big min
