PASSENGER DEPARTMENT BUSY
Getting Ready for North Coast Limited
Trains. 3

The Northern Pacific passenger de-
partment is busily engaged in arrang-
ing to put on the North Coast Limited
trains again. There is great activity
in the mechanical department., over
hauling the engines and rolling stock
that will be used in the makeup of
this favorite train. which will be
even more complete and sumptuous in
its furnishings than it was last year.
There are different reports as to the
time when the train will be put on.
One is to the effect that it will be
started about February Is, another
March /, and another says not unil
April /. In all probability the time
for it's re-establishmet will depend
more upon the extent of the travel dur
ing the next few weeks, when many
thousands of people will be coming
west to look up locations. When the
North Coast Limited is put on again
trains Nos. 8 and 4, which now run
from Billings to the coast, will con-
tinue OF to st. Paul.

NORTHERN PACIFIC EXTENSION.
Will Connect With Main Line at Big
Horn East of Billings.

A special from Aberdeen, S. D.,
says that the report is current that
the Northern Pacific will extend it's
Cakes Walnut line west from Cakes,
crossing the Missouri near the bound
airy between the Dakotas and striking
the present main line about Big Horn
junction, Montana. By making this
cut off, over 100 miles in distance is
saved between St. Paul and the coast.
It is claimed the line has already
been surveyed to the river and hat the
engineers are now trying to locate the
bridge across the Big Muddy. Ex-
tensive coal beds are reached by the
new line.
Big Horn is a small station on the
Northern Pacific 60 miles east of Bill
ings. 1t is more than likely that if
the above are the intentions of the
Northern Pacific, that they also CON

road, with-a present terminus at Har-
lowtown, to Big Horn and connecting

OF INTEREST TO CATTLE RA1sERs
Northern Pacific Makes Low Freight Rate
for Shipping in Stock.

Agent H. N. Kennedy of the North
ern Pacific railroad has just received
information that will be Of special in
terest to ranchmen and cattlemen.
Last year the company made a special
low rate for the shipment of cattle
from eastern points to improve the
breed and %replenish the ranges of the
state. Owing to the fact that cattle
were shipped rather close last fall on
account of short feed, the company
has determined to renew the rate
again, and after February 5 the
special cattle ate from eastern points
will be in force. It applies from all
eastern terminals as far west as
Manhattan, and will doubtless en-
courage cattle owners to improve their
stock by the importation of better
blooded animals from the east.

WOLFF IS CRAZY.
Murderer of Sheriff Summers Not in His
Right Mind.

Murderer Wolff of Madison county
who a~ssassinated Sheriff Summers last
week and was promptly captured,
would probably have been a victim of
mob vengeance if it had not been that
his mental condition is weak and he is
a boy in years, says the Helena Her
aid. State Senator w. A. CLARK of
Madison county, who has returned
from Virginia City, was in the former
capital of Montana when the murderer
was brought to the county Jail. He
says that while the people were nat
urally furious against Wolff and want
ed to see him strung up, cooler judg-
ment prevailed and on account Of his
mental condition it was considered
best to spare the disgrace Of lynching
an insane man.
"He is an idiot and hardly response
BILE for his awful action said. Sena-
tor Clark. "He has been known as. a
simple-minded boy for some time. It
was a terrible affair and if it had been
committee by a man in the possession
of his mental faculties l am afraid it
would have been a hard matter to re-
strain the fury of the people against
the red-handed murderer. Mrs. Sum-
mers, the widow of the sheriff, APP
pealed to many who wanted to lynch
young Wolf not to do SO on account
of his mental condition. Her entreat-
les had considerable influence and no
doubt helped prevent q lynching."

MORMON MISSIONARY DIES.
Came Here About a Month Ago-No
Doctor Called to His Relief.

~ -. 81 - =. E#-t"HHs r----Ea-r 90 Faa r
sChas. H. Atkinson, a missionary of
the Mormon church, died Thursday
night in Mrs. Holdings lodging house
on South Twenty-ninth. The de-
ceased had been here for nearly a
month and was ailing most of the
time. Together with another mis-
sionary he had secured a room at Mrs.
Hollings', where the, two were living
and preparing their own meals, hav-
ing come here from Bridger on Janu-
airy 8. Atkinson's condition became
such that he had to take to his bed
several days ago. No doctor was
called and the man continued to grow
worse until death came to his relief.
An inquest was held last night by
Coroner Chapple, the verdict be-
ing that death came from natural
causes. The body will likely be taken
to Utah for burial.

TO HAVE SEPARATE BALLOTS.
Amendment to That Effect Will Be
Introduced.

Helena Record: When the bill from
the house to amend the ballot law by
doing away with the circle at the top,
reaches the senate, Senator G. O. Cru
we'll will offer an amendment provid-
ing that all questions to be voted on
at any one election, whether sub
mitted to the entire state or tile elect
ors of any particular locality, shall be
printed on a ballot, which shall be
separate from the regular ballot con
tanning the names of candidates for
various officers and shall be deposited
in separate boxes.
County Attorney W. M. tombstone
of Billings has written Senator Cru
we'll concerning this bill. He says:
II notice that an effort is being
made to amend section 1854 of the po-
litical code, SO as to do away with the
circle at the top. While this is being
done I believe it would be a good
thing to SO change the section that
questions submitted. to the electors,
such as our court house proposition
last fall, shall be printed on separate
ballots and deposited in square boxes.
In that way every voters attention
would be called to the question to be
voted upon and a full vote polled.
"As special elections cannot be
called for the determination of such
questions, this seems to be ABOUT the
only way we shall ever be able to get
a new court house. / am aware that
the attorney general has given a de-
cision that such questions require
only a bare majority of the votes
cast. I think he is wrong and I pre-
fer the decision of Judge Loud, in the
Laurel. bridge case, as the better inter-
probation of the law and the one that
will be adopted by the supreme. court
if the matter W comes before it for
decision"

A Rn.al Striker.

1t is not often that one hears of a full
fedged reigning sovereign going on
strike for an Increase of pay, just as If
he were a member of some labor
union. yet this is precisely what the
Grand Duke Of Oldenburg has just
done. He applied the other day to the
legislature of his grand duchy for an
Increase of some 40 per cent in the
amount Of his civil list, and inasmuch
as the latter absorbs nearly the whole
revenue of the grand duchy the diet Of
Oldenburg very rightly declined to
comply with his demands.

SHIPPING BALED ALFALFA EAST.
Being Used to Fatten Sheep for the
Markets. d.

That Alfalfa feed for sheep is one of
the best if not the very best feed on
which to fatten sheep for the market
has long been contended by the sheep
men of the Yellowstone valley, who
have experimental along this line
with splendid success.
Range sheep are placed on alfalfa
feed in this valley for four or six
weeks and then they are ready to ship
to market. On the other hand range
sheep shipped direct from the range to
feed yards in the east must be fed on
screenings, ETC., for about six weeks
before being ready for market.
Scientific research has proved that
alfalfa is the nearest hay to a full
feed. s
But alfalfa as a fat producer is now
occupying the attention of the east
ern feeders who have seen the evil
dences of its fattening properties on
the sheep that have come there from
this section after having been on
alfalfa feed in this section. Hereto
fore these feeders have been content
to feed eastern hay and screenings,
but SO forcibly have the good qualities
of alfalfa been impressed upon them
that they are now giving it the pref

Several valley ranohmen contiguous
to Billings have received orders from
the South st. Paul feeders to supply
them with alfalfa and several hundred
tons of the baled product will be
shipped from this city during the
next few weeks. The ranchmen are
receiving from IS to 81 per ton for
the hay on board the cara here.

TO EXTEND SYSTEM
Billings Water and Light Company Will
Enlarge Plant.

The Billings Water Power company
contemplate making some extensive
improvements in their power plant
this season, involving an expenditure
of from $25, 900 to $50, 900.
The company have just installed a
new latest type electric generator of
$50 horse power capacity, adapted for
lighting and power purposes, to take
the place of a smaller and older type
machine.
Plans are nov being prepared and
a contract will be let at once for a
brick addition to the power house, 80
by 80 feet. The new machinery
which is being ordered-consists Of a
$50 horse power compound ~condensing
engine of the latest type, an additio nal
water wheel of $50 horse power ca
pacity, an additional pump with a
daily capacity of 1900, 900 gallon s.
arranged to be operated by cit her
steam or water power-an additional
electric generator of $50 horse power
capacity, also additional boilers, c on
densors and other necessary access DRY
apparatus.
These improvements are necessitated
by the fast growing business of the
company and they propose, evidently
to put themselves in a position to
meet all demands. 3
Mr.. Rowley, manager Of the com
pany, says, speaking of the electric
branch Of the company's business, that
it is the claim of his company that
they are furnishing electric current at
a lower average price than is fur
nished in any other town or city in
this northwest country, and at prices
as low as it is furnished in most of the
eastern cities.
He also states that beginning alb out
June l, next, the company will start
a permanent day current and customers
will have the advantage of a contin-
uous service for both lighting and
power purposes, he states that they
propose giving a superior service, such
as is only obtainable in the larger
cities, and that they propose pursuing
the same policy in the future as in the
past, in reducing prices whenever con
ditions will Justify.
Electricity is fast becoming of gen.
eral utility and is applied to a Thousand
and one uses, and it will be a no
small factor in the upbuilding of this
city that it car be had at all hours for
lighting, power and heating purposes
at reasonable prices.
