Just now the prospect of the Bur-
lington road building into this city is
the pivotal point upon which real es-
tate values are turning and the criter-

foregnne conclusion among those best
acquainted with the methods employed
in selecting the most feasible route for
a railroad that, should the Burlington
come west of Billings, Livingston
would be one of the points where it
would touch on the way to Butte. With
eNeiS IepoIl VI UNUSUAL detltlly al the
western terminus of the Burlington and
with each rumor of men and scrapers
being unleaded for the purpose of eX-
tending the fine westward, the knowing
ones who have real estate in this city
advance the price few dollars and
gather new inspiration for fairy tales
of fabulous wealth to be made in the
purchase of Livingston corner lots.
That the road will come this summer
is no rprtaintV hllt that these run1Drg
will sell many an otherwise unmark-
etable piece of ground is an assured
fact.
