WITH THE RAILROAD.
Some Changes Which May Be Looked
for When the Iron Horse Comes.

Some Changes Which May Be Looked
for When the Iron Horse Comes.
Benton River Press: Before the
summer is over the Montana railroad
will reach Lewistown, and with its ad-
vent there will be great change in
that thriving town. Before the end
of this month 100-lb. steel rails for the
extension of the Montana railroad
from its present terminus to Lewis
town will be on the ground, and it will
be laid just as fast as the weather
will permit. For a number of months
the graders have been at work, and
now the people of Lewistown can al
most hear the whistle Of the locomo-
tive.
With the railroad the days of abso-
Lutte necessity for the stage coach in
that section of Montana will have
passed. With the railroad, also, will
come the tramp, the traveller who
rides on the brake beam, as well as
the one who rides in the passenger
coach. Lewistown, which in the past
has been known only to those who
had to visit the Fergus county seat
on business, will in little while be
visited by many others. some looking
for locations, others just to see the
town that has grown and prospered
and become a thriving place without
the assistance of the iron horse. New
people and new methods will go into
Lewistown with the railroad, and some
believe those new conditions will not
be so pleasant as those of the past.
However that may be, the railroad is
going into Lewistown, and the people
who for many years have been with
out quick connection with the outside
world, will have to adjust themselves
to the new conditions.
Fergus is rich county-rich In min
erals, rich in live stock and rich in
lands. With the railroad
all of these resources should take on
quicker development, and there should
be wider field for the merchants
and the professional men, even though
many new comers should go in and d.
vide the business with those who
have for many years had only to reck.
on with those whose ways OF doing
things were acquainted with.

and Butte Tonight.

Helena, May 2S.-Special to Argus
by courtesy of Great Falls Tribune
The extra legislative session began
this morning at 10 o'clock and in less
than twelve hours the work of the as
sembly was complete. In the senate
there were two absentees and in the
house seven. The fair bill passed by
the legislature differs somewhat from
that introduced at the regular session;
1t provides for an appropriation Of
$4,000 for the st. Louis fair and sl0.-
900 for the Portland fair. The bill
provides for the erection of a build
ing at st. Louis. but does not specify
what II shall cost nor does the measure
in any way hamper the commission.
The commission is to make report in
detail to the governor not later than
January lst, 1905, of its expenditures
and no member or any agent or OH
Ger is to obligate the state in any
sum in excess of the appropriation.
The commissioners named in the bill
are the honorary commission appoint.

READY TO LAY
THE RAILS
Railroad Graders Are Now Fourteen
Miles From Harlowton and
Making Progress.
FIFTY CAR LOADS ON TRACK
Storm Losses Very Light South of
Lewistown and Roads Are in
Fair Condition.

Harlowton, May 25.-Special to the
Argus-Considerably to the surprise
of our party, We found the roads in
fairly good condition after passing
Trout creek and with succession of
fair days, coaches and freighters
should be able to make good time from
Harlowton to Lewistown. On the
tracks here, awaiting shipment, are
fifty car loads of freight for Lewis
town merchants and the warehouses
and many vacant buildings are filed
with broken lots. Freight teams are
badly needed. Only two teams were
passed between the Gap and Lewis
town and only three freighters are in
Harlowton now. They can now move
any day and merchants have but to
secure the teams
From Lewistown TO Ubet we saw
hut one dead animal and at Cotton
wood Mr.. Often stated that he had
not lost single head. Near Ubet we
met a hcrder with band of ewes and
lambs belonging to c. II. Perrine.
The sheep looked well and the herd.
er said the loss in that band would
not exceed S per cent.
In this direction the storm was by
no means as severe as northward and
AS moisture was greatly needed. tn,
rain was hailed as a blessing. Warm
weather is now, however To be well
coined.
Al TIBET e. II. BarrOws is pushing
work on his shearing plant and ex-
poets To be ready for work by June
18th. There are 5000 acres of con-
yonient well watercd range and the
feed will be good.
Waiting for Spikes.
sufficient quantity OF rails are now
at Harlowton To lay fifteen miles Of
track, and the track-laying crew will
be at work az soon as car load of
spikes arrives. This is now en- route
from st. Paul.
The graders are camped fourteen
miles north of Harlowton and making
good progress.
Large quantities of ties are on the
ground and the remainder will be
ready as rapidly as needed. All the
rails are en- route and altogether the
prospects are excellent for hurried
completion of the line TO Lewistown.
Tonight we leave for Lombard and

Cover p. o. Deficiencies.
Washington, MAJ 21.-Congi'ess
will be asked at the opening of its
next session to make an appropria-
tion to cover the deficiencies In both
the regular free delivery service and

General Payne today announced that
this deficiency now aggregates exact
ly 1921, 800, of which $105,700 is in the
free delivery branch and 1921, 600 in
the rural free delivery service. The
postmaster general said he very much

it and for the first time publicly crit
icised the administration of A. w. Ma
chen, general superintendent of the

indefinite leave of absence. He said:
1T Is very reprehens.Jle for a bu.
reau officer to have deficit of $780,

say that there was anything criminal

his business more in hand. I believe,
however, that congress will quickly
vote the money to cover the defici-
ency."
