MIIee CITY. and the MIIw.ukee.


Billings, Dec. 14.-W. w. D. Ter.
rett of the Calvin Investment com
pany Of Miles City has been q Bill.
ings visitor few days on business.
Mr.. Terrett says the people of Miles
City feel assured that the coast ex.
tension Of the Milwaukee will surely
be built and Is equally assured that
it will pass through Miles City.
Mr.. Terrett figures that the road
will extend from Evarts to Miles
City and will then follow the route
of the Musselsnell and enter Fergus
county so as to enter that marvel;
ously rich portion of Montana. He
thinks the Milwaukee has either pur.
chased or has an option on the "Jaw.
bone" road and that the route of the
Milwaukee will be along that line to
Lombard, where there will be ex-
tensions to Butte and Helena.
II have heard upon excellent au.
thority," he said, that President Har.
low has secured splendid right OF
way to Helena and there is no doubt
in my mind that the road will be built
and that it will pursue this route.
Mr.. Terrett is enthusiastic in his
admiration of Billings and praised the
public-spirited character of its citi.
zens.
"This is bound to be splendid
city," he said, "all forces point in that
direction and nothing can stop it."

Sam French Makes q Fioht.

Great Falls. Mont, Dec. 14.-Con-
tending that under a law of the state
a member of the city fire department
may retain his position during effici-
ency and good behavior, and that he
may not be discharged without cause.
Sam French, recently removed from
the position of chief of the city fire
department, today instituted suit in
the district court to secure an order
reinstating him in the position.
French was summarily removed BY
the mayor. James e. Jewell was ap-
pointed to succeed him. No charges
were preferred. French claims that
his removal was unlawful, and asks
the court so to hold.

The Milwaukee, Survey plans

bUS WtuWoUNSV9 0OTvCy rudO8s
Missoula, Dec 14.-Parties in from
Lewiston, Idaho, state that the Chica-
go, Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad has
begun surveys from that end of the
line. Engineer Hayes, who ran the
preliminary surveys in the Lolo coun-
try last September and October, is in
charge of party of surveyors which
left Kooskia a few days ago to con-
duct surveys from that point to the
Lolo pass. The party is well equip
ped with packers and boatmen, and
they state they will be in the field for
two or three months. It is probably
their intention to effect junction
somewhere near the pass with the
Talcott party that is making the sur
vey from this side OF the Bitter Root
mountains.
Considerable speculation mas been
caused here recently by the announ.
cement that w. L. Darling, chief engi.
neer Of the Pacific Railway company,
had changed places with e. ]. Pear
son, chief engineer for the Northern
Pacific. Mr.. Pearson thus becomes
the chief engineer for the company
which is building the st. Paul extern
sion to the Pacific coast.

in That Beautiful Pool" which was a
Photographic reproduction of McDon-
aid at his best. John went through
his entire act with as much ease as
though he had been on the stage all
his life, and the applause that followed
his effort showed how thoroughly it
was appreciated by the audience.
The rendition of War is Bountiful
jade" by Mr.. w. H. Smith, assisted
by a select chorus, was one of the
best numbers of the entire program.
The anvil chorus and sword drill ac-
companying the song were executed
perfectly and with the proper unction
and spirit. Many compliments for
this number were heard.
Mr.. Rae's Good Work.
Mr.. Henry M. Rae made himself
famous here in little vaudeville
stunt that just kept the house prop
erly tickled as long as he was in sight.
Mr. Rae's work all through the shows
was exceptionally good, and as a
stage manager he was equally sue
cessful.
Conductor Zimmerman pleased the
audience greatly with his trombone
solo. MIR. Zimmerman is a rare musi.
clan, as is attested by the excellent
work of the chorus he brought into
shape in less than two weeks. Mr..
Zimmerman, assisted by Harry Yae-
ger. did a little sleight of hand work
just here that was very good. A mu-
sical number that was much appre-
ciated was the banjo solo by Richard
1.ausch. accompanied by Mr. A. NJ.
Plumb on the guitar.
Johnny EvOy and Vergie Myers, two
small boys dressed in Elks suits, and
carrying canes larger than themselves.
sang the familiar song, blue Bell
so pleasingly that they were called
back times without number. These two
lads sat in the circle and participated
in the work of the chorus.
The closing number, a song entitled,
Il want to be a Soldier" sung by
DR.. r. s. Hedges, assisted by the en-
tire company. was a fitting conclusion
for so excellent an entertainment A
military drill under command Of Mr..
John B. Ritch was admirably executed,
the entire company joining in the drill
during the second half of the song.
Everybody says it was good show.
The end men were good, Messrs
Plumb, Rae and Smith probably doing
as well or better than a great many
PROFESSIONALS; Messrs. Ritch, knight
and Yaeger were good in their parts,
and everyone who participated should
feel proud that he was a member of
such an excellent company.
The attendance Wednesday evening
was not so large as on Tuesday even
ing. but the audience was just as en-
thusiastic and as well pleased.
The committee has not yet reported
the amount of the net proceeds, but
it is very likely that the amount will
enable the Elks to give their little
friends a most elaborate Christmas
tree and entertainment.

SOUTH AMERICA GETS CARDINAL
Number Of Additional cardinaIscre.
ated at secret consistory,


Rome, Dec. 1.-THE pope today
held secret consistory which was
the second of the pontificate in which
he created new cardinals and appar-
emily showed tendency to nave a
better equilibrium between the for.
eign and Italian elements in the sac
red college, as three of the four now
cardinals are foreigners. The cere-
mony was performed with the usual
pomp. Nearly thirty cardinals were
present. The pontiff appeared walk
ing and preceded by, surrounded and
followed by the gorgeous pontifical
court. Then all withdrew except the
members of the sacred college and
the pope read his allocution. In it
ne said he wished he could give the
cardinals pleasant and consoling news,
but the conditions at the present time
dc not permit of consolation. Al
though, he continued, the Catholic
faith is spreading more and more
throughout the world, especially in
dissident countries. on turning toward
Catholic nations one feels sad and
fear lest the prediction of scriptures
Is being verified, that the kingdom of
the Lord will be removed to other peo-
pie where it will produce good fruit.
Especial care and anxiety may be felt
for the country heretofore called the
eldest daughter Of the church, but con.
corning the anti-Catholic laws pass
ed there against the laws of justice
the pope said he would be speak in
accordance with his apostolic office
are gravely and more fully at an op.
perfume time. He exhorted the car.
dinals to prayer, recalling tnat the
Lord will cause tranquility and peace
to shine forth at the proper time.
The pontiff ended with saying that
he intends to honor the whole Latin
American race by creating for the
first time cardinal belonging to that
part of the world.
Immediately after reading his allo.
cution he created the following car.
dinals:
The New Cardinals.

j. ARE YOU dAME?" WE WERE!

Our esteemed contemporary, The
Monitor, of the village of Manning,
State of Carroll, like a bird of ILL
omen with an overfeed of carrion,
belched forth lot of rot about the
Manning Extra Band contest at
Audubon, Woodman Day, issuing a
challenge to the Extra Concert
Band to contest the Manning Band
at any time or place for sum
large enough to make it interesting,
and winding up with "are you

nant because he was limited to
$4,000. We being the challenged
party, had the debating of terms
and made them very easy as we
courted the contest. First-time,
reunion dates. Second-.place, Ex-
ira. Third-judges to be only band
leaders or ex-band leader of state
reputation. Ah! There was the rub.
How we'll the cheap tin-horn gam
blers and short sports of Manning
knew that such men as Professor
Dalbey, Farmhouse, Landers, Covalt,
Jim Love, DR.. Mccall, ct al, were
not "approachable." No, Mr.. Man,
of Manning. These gentlemen are
not sporting females with a price,
neither are they drunkards that can
be bought with a half pint of drug
store damuation. The Extra
Band was defeated at Audubon by
a courtesan and a drunkard. As to
the Manning Concert Band we de-
sire to say, we found these set of
gentlemen and musicians and we
have only the most friendly feelings
and admiration for them. We hope
at some future date to meet our
friends the enemy" in friendly

during his younger days himself.
She went home planning to have
her husband assist her in winning
the bet but he became jealous Of
said bachelor lawyer and divorce
proceedings are now on. 1t looks

Gone but not forgotten.

One of our number is missing to-
day and whether on account OF his
absence or the lack of acquaintance
of his successor our pages of city
news do not contain all the news,
you must kindly bear with us the
disappointment. It's too true, that
as age comes on, desire for
rest accompanies it with most
people. While with others par
oxysm of hilarity seizes their
anatomy and much needed rest is
cast aside, and instead thereof, a
long journey perhaps, by rail or
other conveyance is taken at the
end of which is heard the din of the
street fakirs, the stand men, the
merry-go-round with it's sonoros
sweet? organ and the whistle of the
engine trying to split it's casing
and the EARS of it's hearers and a
thousand and one other things
provided to interest C) the crowds.
Everything goes in this world so
you simply "pay your money and
take your choice" Mr.. Hellyer, a
trusted employee of this office and
to whom we wish to pay tribute
of respect has gone with the crowd,
to Denver, where he will Join the
games with the boys and no doubt
enjoy the vacation granted. Van
will be missed from our staff for
about four weeks, which means to
the office, the temporary loss of one
that no other man can fill. His
forty years acquaintance with our
people, with his ability to tell about
them in our columns in pleasing
way, cannot be replaced. We hope
Mr.. Hellyer will enjoy his vacation,
and remember his falling.
