Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal
Billings, Mont, Dec 19.-According
to ID. A. Mcintosh of Miles City, who
is in charge of the entire work of con-
struction, 10000 men will be working
on the Milwaukee roads coast extern
sion in Montana next summer.
"By. the time, the crop of 1907 is
ready for the market,'' said Mr.. McIn-
tosh, !'work will be- in progress upon
nearly every foot of the line in this
state, which will mean that approx
mately 600 miles of railroad building
then will be in progress. Construction
now is being prosecuted in many parts
of the state, but it is merely the be-
ginning, and if the men are available
next summer, at least 10000 will be
working on the new road between,
where it crosses the line into the state,
gear. Eka i? at; and the tunnel above I2
sands of tons of hay and much proven
der for man and beast will be required
to supply the wants Of this vast army
of workmen, and the commissary de-
partment will be one of the most impor-
tant branches of the work. - . . . H. So.
>e Busy All Over State.
There is no doubt but that there is
more actual railroad building in Mon
tana at the present time than in any
other state in the union, and more work
is being done in Fergus county than in
any county in the state. Until about
four years ago, when, the extension of
the Montana railroad was built from
Harlowton to Lewiston. Fergus was the
only county in the state without rail-
road of some sort. The Milwaukee road
recently acquired the Montana road and
is now building down the Musselshell
river into eastern Montana. Lewiston
will have direct connection with the
main line at Harlowton. ... .s.".
The Billings & Northern, which will
be part of the Great Northern sys-
tenn, also is building thru Fergus
county and will open the rich Judith
valley. It is understood that twenty
fve-mile branch line will be built into
Lewiston. 49,. - ~
The Great Northern has acquired
$4,000 acres Of rich coal lands thirty
FIVE miles west of Lewiston, and the
work of developing the mines will be
started as soon as construction of the
railroad gives the necessary facilities.
It is reported that at the depth of SIT
feet, drills have disclosed an excellent
quality of coal in a vein 3s feet thick.

has exposed the trunk of the tree to

sound Young trees should be

Modern Glass; Covered House
for Winter Gardens

The long, narrow glass houses used
by so many market gardeners are OBJ
solete. 1t is just as we'll to throw all
far as success is concerned, and even
better on the score of convenience.
An Oregon man who tore down his
old glass buildings and erected in
their place one large, new building,
60 feet wide and $50 feet long, tells
how he did 1t.
The foundation walls were Of rough
stones picked up from the fields and
put in a trench one foot deep till they
reached ground level. On top of these
was built a concrete wall four inches
high and six inches wide. The house
was built with one-ffth pitch gable
roof, having sash bars 80 feet long on
each side. This brought the ridge Is
feet above the beds; and the side
walls of glass were three feet from the
wall to the top Of the plate. The south
end of the building was covered with
glass to a height of five feet. and the
north end to a height Of two feet;
the rest of the gables was closed up
with lumber.
Four purlins, two on each side, were
run the whole length Of the house.
Each Of these was supported by II
posts. and the posts were tied and
braced sidewise. and two braces near
the south end used to brace the house
lengthwisA The sash bars we're one

darkness of his hair and eyes. His
face was keen and hawk-like, aud had
once been strikingly handsome. He
conveyed at second glance the i'm
preston of being still in early middle
life, but the clean-cut lines which ran
Outwards and downwards from the
inner corners of his eyes, and in the
same direction from his nostrils ani
the corners of his mouth, spoke of
great and prolonged suffering, and
gave him a premature look of age.
Every detail of dress and bearing was

a certain dignity and repose which
were very curiously contradicted now
and then by an intent and listening
look which had something OF terrcr
in 1t. This vanished so quickly when
1t came that 1t was difficult to analyze
it. The idea it left on Truscott's mind
was that 1t was produced by some pre-.
monitory symptom of a pain the ma~
had learned to dread.
