the MILWAUKEE COMING.
An Official Statement That the Line
IL to he Constructed Through

Is to He Constructed Through
has ordered the members of its rgi-
neering staff in western territory to
rendezvous at Miles City, Mont, and
await orders, says the Pioneer Press
The engineers and surveyors who, lS
months ago, ran line from Evarts, s.
D., on the Missouri river to Boulder,
Mont, have also been ordered west
Crews with unusually complete equip
ment and large quantity of supplies
are already there, doing nothing but
waiting.
The action is said to mean active
work within month on the proposed
line into Montana and through to Seat
tie, in competition with the northern
coast lines. The preliminary surveys
are the basis of a plan of action, which,
if the Milwaukee carries out it's threat,
will give it 10000 miles of new track
and the Pacific northwest a new rail-
road.
An official statement of what the
Milwaukee purposes to do, is that n
line is to be extended westward from
Evarts on the Missouri, parralleling
the north and south boundaries of
South Dakota, to a point north of the
Black Hills; thence northwest to Miles
City; thence west, through the heart of
the famous Judith basin wool-growing
country to Ubet, Mont; thence south
west to Townsend, where it will cross
the main range of the Rockies at a
grade even lower than that of the
Northern Pacific. The line will thence
be carried southwest to Butte, west to
Anaconda, thence northwest to Mis-
soula, Mont, and south across the Bit
ter Root mountains through Lo Lo
pass, thence directly'Across the pro-
ductive Clearwater valley TO the Wash
ington line and northwest across the
Cascades to Seattle.
The Black Hills will be tapped by Il
branch line, and Helena will be reach
ed by a second branch from Boulder.
The Lo Lo pass is one through which
the Northern Pacific has already made
surveys, and is the only passage ever
found across the Bitter Root range
available for railroad construction.
Evarts, the base of the proposed con-
structon, is the western terminus of a
direct line from st. Paul west through
South Dakota to the Missouri. Should
the Milwaukee carry out its present
plans it would increase the system to
a total mileage of 8, 200 and give ST.
Paul it's fourth line to the Pacifc C
| coast.

F. G.. PHlLBRICk
IS DROWNED
ken With Cramps While Bathing
In Tongue River,

In Tongue River.
Word was received here yesterday
afternoon to the effect that E. c. Phil
brick, the we'll known Sabra sheepman.
had met his death at Miles City by
drowning, and from what can be elicit
ed at present the catastrophe happened
in the following manner:
Mr.. Philbrick had been spending a
few days in Miles City on business
mis- sion and like many others, when
there, was in the habit of going in
bathing in Tongue river at the head of
Main street. About two o'clock, after
purchasing suit of underwear, he
proceeded to the river.
Shortly afterwards, three men who
were lounging in the park close by,
were attracted by cries for help. Up
on arriving on the bank of the river
they saw Mr.. Phlbrick 90 down for
the last time, and they being unable
to swim, could render no aid to the un-
fortunate man. Other assistance was
secured and the body recovered, but
not until the last flicker of life had
died out.
Tongue river is very low at this sea-
son of the year, but where Mr.. Phil
brick went in there is hole with alb
out seven feet of water, and the only
conclusion that can be reached is that
he was seized with cramps while in
the water.
Mr.. Philbrick was one of Rosebud
county's most prosperous and well
known sheepmen and had a host o.
friends, who sympathize with a sorrow
ing wife and child and otker relatives.

TOO MANY SCHOOLS.

ton of Many Of the
Rural Districts.

Consolidation of the rural schools, a
matter that has attracted much atten-
tion in many of the older states in re-
cent years, and has been found to oper
ate very successfully, is one of the ques-
tions that will come up for considera-
tion at the hands of the next 1egisla-
ture.
The plan as it has been put in opera
tion in number of the eastern and
central states, and even as near Mon
tana as the Dakotas, is to consolidate
two, three or four schools of township
into one school at central point, the
question of the children reaching the
school being solved by the employment
of teams for Transportation. Expert
enced educators who have had to do
with the comparatively new plan de-
clare that it is far ahead of the old
plan of school for every district, no
matter how small the number of child
rem in the district in which the school
must be maintained.
State Superintendent of Public In
struction w. w. WEIGH, who has looked
thoroughly into the consolidation plan,
heartily favors it, and is now engaged
in the preparation of circular letter
that is to be the first move in the
"campaign" for consolidation. In this
letter facts will be given to show the
&u0r-lyir,o Of %ba r>1o,, -, fInca fofo ~, ,af
have adopted it, and to point the con-
trast between the two systems. These
letters will be sent to county superin-
tendents, to members Of the legisl ature,
to principals of the city schools and to
members of the boards of trustees in
the various districts.
"The rural schools are the hope of
the educational system,' said Super
intendent Welch, in speaking of the
plan, "and the consolidation system
has shown itself to be great strength
ner of the rural school. The time for
the adoption of the system is now; we
should not wait until many new school
houses have been built. when the adop-
ton of the plan might tend to create
friction in the districts. Questions are
daily coming to this office that show
the great need of a system such as the
consolidation plan has been found to
be.
"Under the working of the plan in
other states, there is a school at some
central point in a township, as against
two or more under the old plan. The
trusteess let contracts for the transpor'
tation of the pupils to and from the
school. In Massachusetts,, when the
consolidation system was adopted, the
expenditure for transportation in the
rural districts was $4,000 for the first
year. The system has been in opera
tion for five years, and 1t has grown
until the expenditure for transportation
has increased to $13. 600, 900 per year.
It has been shown that the system re-
suits in a great saving financially,
and the great educators say that the
grade of work accomplished in the
schools is materially better than be-
fore the plan was put in operation.
There is now in Montana about L..
100 schools, and perhaps seven-eights
of them are rural. Many of them have

from MS perllOuS resting place the
engine was coupled to the extra gangs
cars. They had been moved but few
feet when the nights humidity was
pierced by agonizing shrieks and rea-
lizing that someone was hurt the en-
gineer was instantly signalled to stop
which he did.
Upon arriving at the scene of the dis
turbance those who heard the cries
made the nauseating revelation that
Davidson had been seriously injured.
He was at once removed to the freight's
caboose and the train started for For
syth, but the mans life had been
crushed out of him and he liveu but
short while.
With Davidson, at the time of the &C
cident were two others, one escaping
injury while the other did not fare SO
we'll, he having received badly dis
located shoulder and other minor in
juries. He has been sent to the Brain
erd hospital and will recover.
The supposition is that Davidson be-
came awakened when the train first
moved, and in an attempt to crawl out
from under the car was struck by the
wheels with the above result.
At the time Davidson met his death he
was wearing belt in which was de-
posit certi icate on bank of Scotland
for 100 pounds, about 500 in currency
and other papers. He carried a life
insurance of $50 pounds, which, with
his other belongings, he willed to d
daughter who resides in Scotland with
a woman who had adopted her.
Davidson was a Scotchman and had
been in this country but six months.
An inquest over the remains was
held Friday forenoon by Judge H. G.
Wright, acting coroner, who selected
H. d. Huff, John Wettereau, L. r.
Terrett, T. w. Longley and Zeb Tar
as jury. They returned the follow
ing verdict:
Before H. G.. Wright, Acting Coro
ner. In the matter of an Inquisitol
holden upon the body of Duncan Da
wilson, deceas sed. We, the undersigned
jury in the above Inquisition, find from
the evidence and testimony adduced,
that the deceased, Duncan Davidson
came to his death at Howard, Rosebut
county, Mont, upon July 18, 1902, by
reason of his own carlessness by sleep
ing under N. p. car on the spul
track.
We do hereby eXonerate the N. p
r. II. Co. and the train crew from al
blame in causing the death of deceased
Whereas, by the evidence submitted
the train crew used every precautior
in their power for the safety of all con
cerned."

The London Family Doctor,
IA medical publication, again
calls attention to the misinter-
probation OF this old maxim
"Stuff a cold and stare a fever "
The real meaning is just the re-
verse OF what the words literally
convey. Ii you stuff q cold, you
will have to stare the fever
which surely follows. In other
words,a person who has a cold
should be very moderate in eat
ing, because a gorged system
cannot carry OF tie cold, which
runs into a fever. Evidently the
idea OF the maxim was to caution
people against oyer-eating when
they have colds.
