vi -
tending to the Coast This Year.
The Chicago Chronicle has inter.
viewed Second Vice President B. G,
Harris regarding the rumor that the
burlington was going to begin work on
an extension from Billings to the coast
this season. Mr.. Harris said, in ans.
wer to a question as to what founda-
tion there was to the report:
There is nothing in the report. We
are doing some work out there on the
Billings line, but we are not planning
any immediate extension to the coast,
1t is a revival of an old story and there
is nothing more in it now than there
ever was."
Introducing the above statement the
Chronicle says:
"For several days a report has been
circulating that the Burlington was to
be extended from it's present northwest
ern terminus, Billings, Mont, west
ward to the coast, with a branch down
to the Yellowstone park. The proposed
line was said to run through the Big
basin to the park and thence west
to Butte and ultimately to the Pacific
coast. There is no question that the
Burlington's Billings line will be ex-
tended further west some day.
The fact that the Burlington has a
number Of surveyors at work in the Big
Horn country, which has. been noted
in The Gazette, and Mr.. Harris
that some work is being
lone on this line may mean that a
branch road to the Big Horn country
is projected.

The Boston Wool and Cotton Reporter
of the 18th inst says of territory woods
Territory woods are not quite as

large movement in these lines, chiefly
for dealers ccount. A considerable
amount is being negotiated for export,
and if the negotiations come to a head,
there will be a large outward move.
ment of the staple. AS showing the
probability Of these woods meeting the
needs of foreign manufacturers, it may
be stated that territory wool, which
has been shipped over, has been tried
and found to be all right, and orders
have been given for more of this wool
at an advance of 5 per cent. 1t is re-
ported that the representatives of for
eign houses are negotiating for wool
IN Wyoming. The truth Of this report,
however, we are as yet unable to veri-
fy. Woods are moving lively in Wyom-
ing and Utah, and parties out there are
reported As paying more than such
woods have been selling for here, or
could be sold for here at present. In
Montana woods there has as yet been |
very little doing.
Territory woods may now be quoted
at 42@44c. Short, stubby stuff can be
bought for 41@42c. Selected staple
sells for 45c and upward. Medium
territory is obtainable at 4Oc. In the
grease, medium territory has sold at
TIC and from that quotation the figures
run down to 1Oc."

OF the finding of the dead body Of a

TWO WAYS TO THE FAIR.
Experience of the Country Boy and
the "swfper In"

1t was 3 o'clock in the morning when john
ny was awakened by a series of severe
shakes administered by his mother. Though
he came to in a daze by reason of his not
nearly having had his sleep out, the novel
appearance of his mother brought to his
mind In a joyful wave the fact that this
was the Gay his father and mother and
himself were to go to the fair. His mother
had on her green dress, with black soldier
braid across the waist. Johnny noticed that
she was simmer in the waist than he had
ever seen her before. He could not remem-
Der his observations on this point when his
big sisters wedding occurred. His mother
was in a great fiuster. She had been fifteen
minutes waking Johnny, because no sooner
would she shake him well and then turn to
fix some detail of her apparel than he imme-
diately sank into sound slumber again. The
last hard shaking brought 10 Johnny's mind
the recollection noted above, and the sleep
clouds instantly cleared from his mind. He
was out of bed In an instant and pulling on
his clothes Of honor. which he found on the
chair at the side OF his bed. where all the
preceding nights of the summer he had de-
posted his shirt and trousers before turn

His mother sharply urged him to haste
and hurried him to the dining room, where
he crammed dow his throat the sandwich
that was waiting for him and strangled on
a glass of milk. His mother rushed into
the room with a hammer and a nail and
fastened the window. No sooner had she
finished this operation than the sound of the
two-seated wagons wheels crunching the
dust and of the barnyard gate being closed
came through the front door.
Air ye goin' now or air we goin' TO wait
till t'-morro'?" called Johnny's father from
the road.

mother. You can lace your shoes in the
