Special to The Journal,
Bismarck, N. D., July 1.-THE Northern
Pacific road is contemplating several
changes in its line through the western
part Of the state. Some of the most diff
cult grades Of the road are encountered
in traversing the Bad Lands and surveyors
have been IN the field for some time To-
eating speculative routes which will give
easier access to this region. II Is said
the new road will run twelve or fourteen
miles south of the present crossing OF
the Little Missouri river and make a
cut-off of forty milee between Dickinson
and Miles City. Trains will be run over
the old line, but the fast trains and
through freights will run over the new

throw US all into quarantine. And now
q U. S. revenue cutter brings q half
dozen inspectors aboard, who take Po-
sitions at the long tables in the for
