The longest electric railway in the

proposed line is from Billings to Great
Falls. some 200 miles. and the plan is

lowstone rivers. The road would have
a considerable traffic in coal, ores, and

first line with such traffic to be worked

The heavy Spanish immigration to
Cuba now taking place is a great COM
pliment to the American occupation"
OF that island. Spaniards are going
there faster than when it was under
their own government; they find the
advantage Of similarity of language,
without the abuses of the old Spanish
regime. 1t is to be hoped that indie
