Fast Work Is Being Done on Montana
Railroad.

Railroad.
Crazier Bros. have started to work
on their contract to grade five miles
of railroad beginning with the city
limits of Lewistown, says a dispatch
from that place. They have brought
in so teams and go men and expect
to have their work done by September
1, the time their contract calls for
the works completion. Excellent
headway is being made on the Har-
lowton end of the line. The grading
has been practically completed into
Garneill and 10 miles of the steel is
down and the crew is laying it at the
rate of a mile and half per day. The
road will be into Garneill by July
and with good weather will be rum
ming trains into Lewsitown by the 10th

COMES TO BILLINGS.
Next State Convention Epworth Lea.
que Meets Here.


que Meets Here.
Billings has been selected as the
place at which to hold the next con.
vention of the Montana State Epworth
league. Helena, of course, was also
candidate for the honor and had
some earnest supporters at the con-
vention at Great Falls last week, but
the committee reported in favor OF
Billings. Several speeches were made
and when the vote was taken Billings
was selected unanimously
The argument that won for this
city was that there were many Ep-
worthians and church people in the
eastern part of the state who were
unable to attend the conventions when
held SO far distant from them. It was
further argued that the interest of
the church and the organization would
be materially advanced by having the
convention here.
Officers Elected.
Officers were elected for the ensu-
ing year as follows:
T President. A. Metcalfe, Red
Lodge.
First vice president-C. E. Avery,
Missoula.
Second vice president-Miss Hattie
Parker, Helena.
Third vice president Miss E. A.
Moler, Great Falls.
Fourth vice president-D R. Nc
Rae, Anaconda.
Secretary-W. E. Hassler.
Treasurer-C. E. Ludwig, Great
