TO SETTLE THE
BOUNDARY QUESTION
Line Between Montana and
Idaho to Be Decided
by Survey.

Where does Montana leave off and
Idaho begin2 That is a question
that no man can answer correctly,
and the United States maps do not
accurately mark the boundary be-
tween these two sovereign states u
the Union. All the govefnmeu,
maps show an irregular line, sup
posed to represent the summit of the
Rocky mountains, which is the boun-
Diary line fixed by the statutes, but
no one can say how far the line, as
officially portrayed, is correct. 1t is
largely guess work and thousands of
acres supposed to be in one state
may, in reality, be in the other.
Congress, at the last session, when
appraised of these facts, appropri-
ated $50, OOefor surveying the noun
tain boundary of Idaho and Montana.
This line has never been ulveyed, and
there has been no actual determine
ton Of the exact course of the sum-
nit of the mountains. The interior
department at the present time is
taking preliminary steps to letting a
contract for this survey, after ad-
vertisement, as is customary with
most government surveys. The
work is such as to require the services
OF the most skilled surveyors, and
under the advertisement plan it is
feared that the lowest bidder IN an
open competition would not be such
a man. To advertise, and then re-.
ject the offer OF the lowest bidder
because he was believed to be incom-
petent, would lead to mighty row,
so the department has decided to Sc
lect competent surveyor, whose re-
liability has been established, and to
make contract for surveying and
permantly marking the summit Of
the Rockies, thereby establishing the
dividing line between these two
states.
AS settlement has advanced, lands
higher and higher in the mountains
have been taken up, until at the pre-
sent time many men do not know
whether they are sesldents of Idaho
or Montana Moreover, they cannot
tell accurately from the governm ent
maps add will not be able to tell un-
til the summit of the continental di-
vide has been Iald of with perman-
ent monuments and posts.
This survey is one OF the most diff.
ncuii ever undertaken by the govern
menii IN fact IL Is one of the most
difficult surysys ever called for 10

The Burlington flyer, No. E, which
left Butte Thursday morning at 1901,
was held up and robbed by two masked
highwaymen, at a point about six miles
east o. Butte. The train was stopped
by means of a bonfire built between
two bridges and the fireman was taken
off his engine and compelled to I'M
couple the cars between the baggage
and smoker. They then forced the en-
glneer to run the mail AMI express
cars about quarter of a mile ahead
where they pressed the fireman into
service again compelling him to dyna-
mite the express car. Several shots
were fired and the engineer and main
clerk narrowly escaped being killed.
1t is stated that $7.75 is the total
amount the robbers obtain and this
was taken from the mail clerk. George
Cole and George Howard were arrested
in Butte Friday, and Saturday Cole

as his partner in the holdup. Cole is

Lobbyists.

But few people realize the influence
which the railroads exert upon the
legislatures of the various states or
know of the methods that are employed
to control Legislation.
Vast sums of money are spent by the
big corporations III maintaining Hobbies
at the state capitals and in corrupting
members of the law-makine bodies.
Professional lobbyists are employed
and being men of long years of expert
ence in the business, they have ma ~
ways of controlling Legislation besides
the direct purchase of votes. AS their
efforts are usually directed toward
defeating Legislation rather than try
ing to pass new laws, they are almost
universally successful, and, unless
bill has the approval of the railroad
companies, it stands but little chance
of getting through. To defeat legisla-
ton, the control of only one branch of
the legislature is necessary, and the
railroads usually aim to control the
state senate, because it's membership
is much smaller than that of the house.
But the efforts of the railroad lobbyists
are by no means confined to the senate,
for they must have pull in the house
in order to be able to trade votes with
other lobbyists who want bills passed.
The first step in the work is the dis
tribution of annual passes, each men,
