10 the shearing plant, 10 which point from
Twudot Nj. Wilson has built and hridged a
road which, 10 do it justice, Is a perfect bOule-
ward.
Mr. Wilson. with large hearted generosity,
has done great things for his town. The
"stork. ' that has brought 10Y IN the shape Of an
heir 10 81 many people, has for reasons best
known to himself passed the Wilson home by,
but Mr., Wilson, not minding a little thing like
that. has adopted this town Of TwOdOt as his
haby, and a warm baby II is, too. since Mr..
Wilson has taken hold Of Il and spanked II into
shape and clothed it In fine linen. The own
can boast of two big business houses, three sa-
looms, two livery stables, blacksmith shop,
large hotel, not quite finished, and a barber
shop and depot Report says that Mr.. Wilson
has offered the railroad company a large bonus
To- build the round house there. Report also
says the company has accepted the offer.
The new town has Just received mail service
from Big Timber. and the object in locating
the new road to Lewistown via Garneill is 10
induce the Lewistown merchants to make
Twodot the point to which they will have their
freight shipped. And considering that the
railroad is built to that point, and also consid-

Is one Of the mos; perfect freigh, roads for the
distance in Montana, there is every reason to
believe Twodot will be the main shipping
point for the business men of Fergus county.
The distance from Twodot 10 Lewistown is
estimated To be fifty miles over this new road
and the writer believes when il is finished IL
will be a mile or two less. The difference in
the distance between the proposed new tow
Of Merino and Lewistown and TwodOt and
Lewistown is two miles in favor Of the propos.
ed new town of Merlno, but as the freight road
out Of Mcrino is what they call a dead hard
pull for five miles, the difference is in favor Of
Twodot as there is no pull Of any account ON
the road from TwodUt to Garneill. The people
of CARMEL have put in a bridge and are about
to put in two more between their tow and the
county line, and from that point Mr.. Wilson
will, ! understand, put in -four more bridges
which will thoroughly bridge this new road
from Lewistown TO Twodot. II will be a wise
move on the part of the Lewisiown and Mar
tinsdale telephone line now that they are maxi
ing a change in their line, 10 continue on TO
TwOdot. thereby connecting Lewistown with
the nearest railroad point. IL is to be hoped
that some arrangements can be made in the
near future by which the stage company can
run direct from Lewistown via Garneill 10
Twodot and the run can be made by the Lew
istown and Martinsdalc Stage company in less
than eight hours. AT the shearing plant the
different delegations said good-b each par
" congratulating the other on a profitable day
well spent and as we rode up on To the hill and
got a last view of the town Of Twodot, ! re-
marked tn the genial party who was riding
with me-and who, by the way. Is a notorious
member of The tank-that il We only had a bot
tie of Schlitz's best, we could toast the new
town. He said never a word but looked as dry
as a ghost and sighed like a lost soul,
