Begun at Billings line-.-Sur-
vey Into lewistOwn.

A meeting of the business mems rail-
road committee was held last Thurs
day evening and some interesting facts
were presented by Messrs. Hobson and
Hilger as to the probable plans of the
railroad companies. Mr.. Hobson stat
ed, as given in the Democrat of last
week, that the Great Northern is GER
tainly going to build into this city but
that the plans of the Milwaukee are as
yet unmatured. He thought, however
that we will be eXcellently taken care
of in the matter of railroads Mr.. Hill
ger exhibited map showing q possi-
bic route for the Milwaukee whish
brought that road from Miles City
straight to this city via the Mcdonald
and Spring creek routes, and then take
1t from this city to Great Falls, pass
the first range Of mountains through
the Cadotte pass, goes down through
Mlssoula, through the Lo Lo pass and
then on out to the coast. A water lev
el branch can be put into Butte and
looks good, especially to Lewistown,
but 1t remains to be seen whether or
not the Milwaukee officials can be
brought to look at 1t in the same light.
After a general discussion the meeting
adjourned subject to a call by the
chairman.

TO BEGIN WORK.

Construction of the Great Northern s
branch between Billings and this city
will be begun at Billings on or before
March /. A sub-contract for the first
20 miles of the line out of Billings has
been let to William Weiss of Carbon
county. Mr.. Weiss is now engaged in
the construction Of line for the Bur-
lington in northern Wyoming. lie
states that he has been ordered to pro-
ceed to Billings as soon as he shall
have finished his work in Wyoming
and at Billings begin grading on the
Great Northern $ line to this city. He
states that he will be ready to begin
work at Billings March 1, and that his
contract is for the first 20 miles out of
that city.
The contract for the entire line be
tween Billings and Great Falls has
been let to the Guthrie company on the
percentage system, but it has not yet
been announced to whom the sub-con-
tracts have been let, other than to Mr..
Weiss. 1t is expected that work will
be begun on the north end of the line
about April !, but this cannot be stat
ed definitely, for the reason that the
route of the line, with the exception of
the first 100 miles out of Billings, has
not been positively decided upon. 1t
may be stated positively that branch
of the line will be run into LewistoWn.
even if the main line should not he
run into that place, and it Is extremely
probable that a branch will be run into
Kendall and Gilt Edge, though the lat
ter may not be built until several
months after the completion Of the line
into Lewistown.
Practically all Of the right Of way
determined upon has been secured.
some of the owners Of land desired
have declined to make satisfactory
prices and in such cases the right Of
way will be condemned.
The entire line between Billings and
Great Falls will have a grade not to
exceed a Of l per cent and at no place
on the line viii 1.-The grade exceed 6 of
per cent. The line is to be one for
heavy trains and fast passenger runs
and distance will not be material ele
ment in the route. The curvature is
not to exceed per cent at any point,
and If possible, reverse curves are to
be eliminated.
The requirements Of the gradient
and curvature are so severe that the
engineers are encountering much diff
Guilty i'm making their surveys for the
line into Great Falls. Between Spion-
kop and Billings they have plain sail
ing, but on the rest of the line there is
much trouble for those making the
surveys. The Belt hill is to be cut out,
though it may be necessary, to achieve
the object, to build a line several miles
longer than the present line between
this city and Belt. One of the routes
under consideration involves the con-
struction of a bridge POS feet above the
bed of Belt creek and over 470 feet in
length, but this may be abandoned.
The line into Belt will probably be run
at least 80 feet lower than the present
line and the line between Belt and this
city has not yet been determined upon.
The line between Belt and Gerber CAL
LEM will be abandoned. The new line
from Belt will be either run down Belt
creek to the vicinity of the Great falls.

present line, coming into the city via

1t is not yet certain that any work
will be done from the north end of the
line; all the work may he done from
Billings. 1t is desired to do part Of the
work from the north end. with Arm
ington as the base of operations, but
matters are not Vet in shape to permit
the beginning of construction at the
north.
1t is believed that the entire line will
be ready for surfacing by November /.
In confirmation of statements made
in the Tribune Several weeks ago
(Which. by the way, were denied by
certain gentlemen in St PauD, the fol-
lowing dispatch was yesterday sent out
by the Associated Press from Salt
Lake.
ut has been officially announced in
railroad circles that the contract for
the construction OF Il branch of the
Burlington In Montana, extending
from Billings to Great Falls, has been
awarded to Guthrie & Co.. and several
Salt Lake contractors have been given
ub-contracts by this firm.
THE contract has been given for 235
miles of line between these TWO points,
which will open up on e of rh, richest
pieces of country in the state. Large
coal deposits have been secured by the
Burlington, which will be opened up
by this line, which will tap a rich min
eral and coal country lying east OF
Great Falls.

be constructed opening up farming,

Rotation of Calendars.

An evening contemporary has been
informing it's readers that they can
use the same calendars every twenty
years-when the dates of the month
fall on the same days of the week
thereby avoiding the expense of five
almanacs for the present century. But
here is something better than that,
Persons who have the double advan-

by Solomon Jarchus, will find the days
and dates coincident with the present
century. Such persons can save the
expense of buying for 100 years.
Again those with frugal mind, who
have preserved the almanacs of the
nineteenth century, will avoid an out
lay for calendars of the century COM

the 100 years following will be coin

such conomies.-London Chronicle.

MORO BANDS FANATIcIsM.
No Course But to Hunt Down and
Kill Them, Says Gov. Scott,
of Sulu.

Maj. H. L. Scott, governor of the
Sulu archipelago, about to return to
his post, made parting call on the
president. AS he left the White
House, says Washington report, he
said that he thought Gen. Woods at
tack on the Moros at Mount Da:o
would improve conditions in Sulu.
II hope" he said, that our COL
d.ers will not again be compelled to
give battle to the Moro bands. The
chief of the band that was exter-
minated the other day is perfectly
friendly to this country. He tried
hard to keep the band from continu-
ing their warfare against our govern
ment in the islands, but was unable to
do so. They were determined on dis
obeying all law, on killing and acting
to suit themselves, and they did net
propose to surrender.
"Tney proposed death to surrender.
See this hand?" and Mai. Scott held
out his right hand, which showed two
fingers missing. "Well, tried SO
times to get the leader of the band
that gave me these wounds to surren-
der. While lay in the hospital three
months sent him word often, asking
him to surrender and assuring MIN
fair treatment. His name was Pang-
linn Hassam. He disregarded every
message we sent and returned defiant
and insulting messages. Nothing re-
NAMED but to hunt him and his band
down and engage them in battle. He
was finally killed. That is the sort of
character we must deal with among
these fanatical people,. Not a soldier

Only Objection Of Returned Visitor

Rations, (,

arrived here yesterday from Panama
on his way home to pass his vacation.
He has been employed as a foreman
on the Panama railroad at Paradise. and
Will return there early in May, says
the Washington Star. Mr.. Shea went
to Panama about nine months ago,
and during the time he was there he
was sick only two days.
During the nine months I was
there" he said to Star reporter, II
did not have to go to the hospital. The
climate is different from what it is
here, but it is matter of only short
time before one can become acclimated
and get to enjoy 1t. The only fault
have to find with conditions there is
the matter of feeding the men. Unless
something is done to change the quail
1ty of the food there will be scarcity

He explained that man who has
been there six months is entitled to
leave of absence Of six weeks. Many
OF them who come away on their leave

change is made in the matter of feed

eminent will experience trouble in get

steamer reached New York Sunday.
Many of the men, he said, had on thin
clothing, one of them wearing a duck
suit and an overcoat. He was from
Boston, however, and did not mind It
much. Those who had only thin sum-
mer clothing had expected to reach
New York Saturday or. Monday and in
tended to purchase new clothes as soon
as they arrived. but they reached there
Sunday and some of them felt the ef-
fects OF the weather to an uncomfort-
able extent before they were able to
make purchases. The Boston man.
wearing his white duck suit and over
coat, attracted attention as he walked
about the streets.
Workmen coming away on leave Of
absence pay only $40 each way for
their transportation. The trip on the
Panama was pleasant one and was
greatly enjoyed by those who were
homeward bound to visit friends.
