About Twenty Railroad Families Will
Locate Here in the Spring.
With the return of spring the
Northern Pacific railroad will resume
its double passenger train service,
when the North Coast Limited, a train
which for its magnificence sees no
equal in the west, will be again put
on between st. Paul and Tacoma. The
resuming of this service will mean
much for Billings. The Gazette
learns OF good authority that at least
30 new families will come here to re-
side al a result, being trainmen,
whose residence here will be much
more convenient than at other points.
Five conductors and 10 brakemen,
who nov reside at Glendive, are
making arrangements to come to Bill
ings and are already looking for suita-
BILE dwellings, all but one Of the en-
tire Is having family. At present
there r no dwellings to be had and
not likely to be unless many new
ones are erected during the next few
months. All those under present
course of erection are to be occupied
by the owners and those to be vacated
by them have already been spoken for.
Here is a chance for a few moneyed
to make a good investment by the
erection of several good dwellings Of
from five to seven rooms, which will
find 9 ready renter and at a fair figure.

at Court House.

The annual calithumpian parade Of

THERE WILL BE NO STRIKE
Telegraphers on N. p. to Have New
Schedule.

1t is stated on excellent authority,
coming from the telegraphers' side of
the question, that there will be no
strike on the Northern Pacific, says
Mondays Anaconda Standard. The
operators say that they are to have a
new schedule, beginning early in the
new year, that is perfectly satisfactory
to themselves, and they have assur-
anc that it is accpetable to the COM
pany. The Standards informant is
close to the organization, and he says
that the talk of the strike which was
current last week was without foun-
dation. The information, regarding
the new schedule came west last night
and vas received with great satisfac-
tion by operators all along the line.
There is no confirmation of this report
from the company, but it is stated
positively by the operators that every
thing is very satisfactory and that they
have no grievance.

"PEANUT BUTCHER" DOOMED.
Travellers May Soon Be Obliged to Get
Along Without News Agent.

The peanut butcher" otherwise
designated by a sign on his cap as
News Agent is doomed. The in
auguration of his destruction was
to begin in the east yesterday and it
is only a question of time when the
trains that carry passengers in and out
of Billings will be devoid of peanut
butchers as a stone hare is of anima-
ton. For years and years, in fact,
ever since r%ailroading became a factor
in the affairs of life, the peanut
butcher has been a prominent person
age upon all passenger trains. Peo-
pie wouldn't think they were travel
ing if the peanut man wasn't on hand
with his stacks of novels, which he
carries dexterously upon one long,
extended arm; his views of the Vel
lowstone park, his figs, his oranges,
his gum, his racy books, the ones
which he offers only to likely looking
customers ION the quiet;' his short
change methods and his other accom-
plishments and methods of commercial
trading. But westward the course
of empire takes it way" and the
effacement of the newsboy on eastern
passenger trains must Don be followed
by his obliteration in the west.
Here is what a Chicago newspaper
says about the discontinuance Of the
services of the peanut butcher:
"After December l no news agents
or peanut butchers will be allowed
on any lines of the Erie system, west
of Salamanca, and after January 81
they will not be on any lines east Of
Salamanca. For the convenience of
patrons of the Erie news agencies will
be established at all terminal points
and division headquarters now lack
ing such agencies. Newsboys will not
be debarred from station platforms
anywhere, but none will be allowed to
ride on trains.
"'There was a time when travelling
newsboys may have been regarded as
a necessity said F. W Buskirk, as
sistant general passenger agent of the
Erie. THE reasons for the abolition
of the train newsboys are we'll known
to the travelling public. The simple
truth is that the boys have become q
nuisance to u patrons SO we decided
to let che boys go. It is we'll known
that some of the boys would not hest
tate to practice almost any scheme to
sell their wares, and most of them
were smart enough to evade proper
punishment for their deeds.'"

CHEAPER TO BUY THAN TO FIGHT.
Ranchmen Have Controversy with Rail-
road Company.

Attorney General Nolan has pre-
pared an opinion on a subject where
differences existed between private
individuals and a railroad corporation.
While it is not the lnvariable rule, in
the particular question referred to
the state legal department., the rail
road company had the best of the
argument and MI. Nolan so informs
the party making the inquiry.
J. w. Cramer, writing from Laurel
Yellowstone county, says about three
years ago he, with a number Of others,
located in the vicinity of the Clarks
Forks river purchasing land from the
Indians. Shortly after the purchase it
was found necessary to make some
provision for a water supply for irri-
eating purposes. Accordingly a ditch
was bought.
In order to get the best possible re-
suits from the ditch the persons &C
quirlDg it endeavored to secure a right
of way under a bridge owned by the
Northern Pacific. The latter refused
the request of the land owners.
Negotiations were renewed later, and
finally the railroad company agreed to
permit the parties to enlarge the head
gate under the bridge for a considera-
ton of $500, and $50 additional to
pay the expense of erecting a stone
arch.
Mr.. Cramer states that the ranchers
interested in the matter are not SO
we'll off in this worlds goods as they
might be, and, therefore, hesitate to
incur the expense involved IN the
proposition Of the railroad company.
He asks the attorney general as to the
rights of the settlers in the contro-
versy and what course would be best
to pursue under the circumstances.
Mr.. Nolan says the railroad com
pany can undoubtedly prevent the set
tiers from enlarging the ditch in the
manner indicated in the letter of IN
lquiry. Continuing, the attorney
general says:
"Under the law you would be able
to institute condemnation proceedings
and have the right of way condemned
for the purpose. In the institution
of such proceedings it would. be neces-
sary to have viewers appointed, and
considerable expense would be in
Cured before you succeeded in having
the right of way condemned.
1.-The railroad company would be
entitled to secure such damages as
would be sustained by the enlarge
ment Of the ditch, and if it we're
shown that it was necessary to insure
the safe operation Of the railroad that
this arch should be constructed of
stone, the expense that would be in
CURED in SO constructing the arch
would be an item of damage that they
would be entitled to recover.
eff it. were possible to arrange the
matter amicably with the railroad
company, / think it should be done,
because if you are driven to the neces-
sity Of insUituting condemnation pro-
ceedings all the items of expense in
getting into court will be borne by
you, and in the long run, even if the
railroad company will not secure the
amount that they would by private
arrangement, the expense to you will
be greater"
