The Argus Is assured by a head Of
fetal of the Montana railroad com
pany that every effort is being made
by the company to give Lewistow1
the best possible mail and passenger
service. At present the regular pas
senger train Is due in Lewistown al
6:17 p. m. and It is almost always Oh
time. The roadbed of the line is be
ing constantly improved and the of
ficials of the road think that by mid
summer the time car be cut dowr
to 6 o'clock. If the mail Is brought
up from the depot promptly that en-
ables the p~ostoffice department to dis
tribute IL in time for the patrons Of
the office to get their mail that wen
ing. The greater part of the mail Il
so distributed at the present time or
passenger train days and the service
is appreciated by the people OF this
city.
