-veyors, who have been stationed north
west Of this city for the past two weeks.
came into Billings yesterday and have
begun laying out a new line to Great
Falls. In conversation with one of the
party who is in close touch with the chief
engineer, 1t is learned that the laying out
Of the line is to be followed shortly by
active grading work.
The surveyors are working from the

Those in this city who are in close

fore New Years day.
