Verona Teton Line is Nearing
Completion.
ARE WAITING FOR STEEL
The New Road Will Avoid Marias
Hill-Much Improvement
Contemplated.

A prominent railroad official who has
just made d tour of the Great Northern
railway in eastern Montana informed an
Inter Mountain reporter this afternoon
that's the Great Northern's new piece of
lDadbed from Verona to Teton, is very
nearly completed and Will undoubtedly
he in operation early next spring. The
would have been finished some time
ago but the edict has gone forth from
headquarters that nothing but steel
bridges go, and the delay mas been occa-
stoned because of the unprecedented vol
ume of business lone this year by the
steel foundries which has made it inn
possible for the Great Northern to get
the necessary material, although the or
ders We're placed in long ago., and thus
is President Hills enterprise blocked
temporarily. One of the bridges on this
lire-across the Marias river-will be
300 feet long, and there are several others.
This new line is being built in con-
formity with the Great Northern's policy
as regards M~ontana-the expenditure of
much money in order to reduce grades
and curvature. The new Verona-Teton
line will a. old the steep grade of Marias
hill. probably the heaviest piece of road
bed on the Great Northern east of Great
Falls. 1t will save coal and time. two
items of considerable expense in railroad
operation.
Much work of a similar nature will be
done by the Great Northern in Montana
ext year.
Two prominent st. Paul business men
made their way out of Spokane yester-
day on a freight train. They came all

They expect to get to the coast on freight

The following from a recent issue of
the Denver Rocky Mountain News gives
additional particulars concerning the re-
pair shops to be operated at Denver b.
the Pullman Palace Car company:
A conference will be held with the
president of the Colorado & Southern at
! the earliest time convenient. and it is
probable he will be induced to retire
from the Union Pacific shops. The Colo-
a d & Southern will build shops of its
own and the Pullman company will gain
possession of the Union Pacific shops at
Fortieth street.
Yesterday it was made public for the
first time that no contract has been
signed by the Colorado & Southern TO,
a lease of the Union Pacific shops for a
term of years. The contract was drawn
up to cover a period of ten years. but
a hitch occurred and the is
occupying the establishment Temporal
rily. Under the circumstances, it is
thought little difficulty will be presented
in effecting an agreement by which the
Pullman company can take possession
within a few months. 1t was claimed
yesterday that nine months would be re-
quired to build thoroughly modern shops
for the Colorado & Southern. but this is
| a matter which ma be hurried up. The
| Pullman company may purchase the
shops outright, but nothing can be done
until an understanding is reached with
Mr.. Trumbull.
The Colorado & Southern has ample
room for shops at half a dozen points
along the Platte river within convenient
access of the Union depot. 1t is claimed
that if the ompany undertakes to erect
a structure it will be of strictly modern
style and will be supplied with the latest
machinery. Superintendent Dunaway is
perfectly willing to undertake the work

Cuba,


Considerable agitation has been excited
in Cuba by the report that President Nc
Kinley would soon appoint civil governor
for the island. The revolutionary ele-
ment rsssnts this idea, as involving post
ponement of independence. which large
class expect will be provided for at an early
date by Congress. II the agitators should
be shortsighted enough to make trouble
over the matter, they might easily gain
their point as far as civil government is
concerned. But they would be likely to find
that they had only succeeded in fastening
upon themselves military control much
more rigid than the present one. and one
that might be counted upon 10 last Tor an
indefinitely long time. The Cubans are
cur wards and entitled to just and generous
treatment. but they will rot be allowed to
set up a state of the Haiten sort within
sight OF Us soon or ever; and any other kind
is beyond their present capabilities. The
quieter they keep and the more Loyalty they
accept our efforts fer their good, the quick
er they will be permitted to enjoy some
measure of autonomy. But the type of in
dependence the dsmagcgues and ignorant
masses of the country expect. they win

months after that. marvellous exposition 1t
was utterly impossible to arouse enthusi-
asm in those who had seen IL. They seemed
to have expended all their powers of appre-
ciation in the preceding summer. Did the
local band of Squashville give modest
concert. the chief magnates of the town
listened with languid interest and made re-
marks about the concerts at the Worlds
Fair. Did the city cousin proudly show the
country cousin the new opera house. the
visitor was reminded OF the marvels of
architecture in the White City There
could ret be wonder of any sort, in any
part of the United States, from sunset
TO pumpkin vine, which did not remind
somebody of something which had been
viewed at the Chicago Exposition There
was a pilgrim in every town and vii
iage, and when two or three Of these were
gathered together conversation in their i'm
mediate neighborhood ceased while they
exchanged "reminiscences Thus il came
10 pass that those that did not go to the
Fair knew almost as much about it as
those who did. They had to know. Infor-
nation was poured into them by the gal
Ion. They had no choice in the matter. The
Fair permeated the whole country. and il
was impossible to get away from it.

the Fair furnished rural vaudeville aud
fence and all. The old proverb about see
ing Naples might be paraphrased in this
connection. One might be told TO see the
Worlds Fair and then die, for there would
be nothing mere in life after that. There
is some consolation in all this for the
person who did not go. He has a chance
to enjoy himself for the remaining years
of his life and he will never know how

General Lee rode Traveller, his pet horse that

weatherbeaten mountaineer lounging drowsily
upon the road in his rickety cart. General Lees
cordial Good morning aroused the old Con-
federate instantly.
''whoa!'' he called out to his old nag "Ain't
that General Lee?" he inquired he climbed
down and caught Traveller by the bride.
Yes. sir" said General Lee. wonderingly.

excitement. 81 want you to do me favor

response.

General Lee did so, and to his amazement his

General Lees head dropped in most painful
embarrassment as the first yell went sounding,
along the mountain sides. The next yell was
choked with sohs as the old soldier dropped on
mis- knees in the dust hugging General Lees
legs, and the third died away in tears.
