st. Paul, Oct 31.-The Pioneer
Press tomorrow will say: Reports
that the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul will build into Montana were
partially confirmed today by the Of
fetal statement that the extension is
only awaiting the termination of the
Burlington deal. It Is announced that
should the Burlington and allied lines
attempt to control western business
in the interests of a single line out
Of st. Paul or single line out Of
Chicago, the Milwaukee will imme-
diately build from the Missouri river.
Plans for a line into Montana, 1t
was stated, have been practically
agreed upon. The Milwaukee is at
present unable to ascertain the plans
OF the Northern Pacific-Great North
rn-Burlington combination, but fears
an attempt to throw business into
channels adverse to it, possibly to
the Northwestern which has been
prominently mentioned in this con-
nection. From another source it is
ascertained that the recent trip Of the
Chicago officials Of the Milwaukee
which covered the important ship
ping points, was as was then stated,
for the purpose Of ascertaining the
present situation, the condition Of
traffic and the probable development
of the live stock business in the next
five years. These facts have already
been submitted to the general Of
ficers of the system and are the basis
for the decision to fight for Montana
traffic.

AND
THE NEGRO

When President Roosevelt en-
tertaine1 Booker 7. Washington,
the negro, at dinner the other day
be did an act that reflects no
credit upon himself nor the Office
be holds. 1t matters not what
his motive might have been. His
action was a public repremand to
the South in its treatment Of the
negro. He evidently thought
when he asked this negro to dine
with him that he, the chief execu-
tive Of a great republic, was set
ting an example that would be
followed by his subordinates and
the people. But in this expecta-
tion be has failed.
This treatment of negro by
Mr.. Roosevelt is evidence Of the
fact that be considers the negro
on an equality with the white
man. No matter what kind of
excuses have been offered by his
supporters and followers, Mr..
Roosevelt by his action has said
palmer than words can express,
that he considers a well developed,
thick Tipped negro a suitable com
panion for our sisters and our
daughters. lie has not only ask
ed a negro to dine with him as one
citizen might ask another TO dine
at his private residence but be has
taken him to a nations most re-
spected domicile and there dined
him as the nations guest Of hor-
or.
AT the beginning Of his admin
istration Mr.. Roosevelt attempted
some political reforms in the
South and his first efforts were
applauded by every Southerner
His first attemp in this direction
we're marked. lie began diggin.
the grave in which-it was to b.
hoped-that the party grudges o
the blue and the gray would b
buried forever. The sweet mes
senger Of peace and harmony ha'
begun to hover over the lanf
south of the Mason and Dixon line
lie now endeavors to set a prce,
ent that the negro be treated as
white man. That the white an
black mingle together as equals
Roosevelt may consider his an
Washingtons social position equi
r-God forgive him if be does
but be can live TO a ripe old az
and die preaching this doctriI
and never make a convert in Il
South. A man from New Yor
cannot dictate the negro policy
