for its proposed construction to the
coast were announced officially re.
Gently. Seattle is to be the roads
coast terminus. 1t has been assumed
that the Pacific line would be con-
tinuation of the Milwaukee & South

east of Evarts, the line will run for
80 miles thru the Standing Rock
Indian reservation. It will pass thru
Miles City, Mont, follow the valley
of the Musselshell river, and enter
Butte thru Pipestone pass in the
Belt mountains, at an altitude of
$3.50 feet, a few miles south of
where the range is crossed by the
Northern Pacific. The exact route
to be followed from Butte to Seattle
will not be made public for about 80
days, but it is stated that practically
the entire right of way has been
secured. From Glenham to Butte the
line will have a mileage of 731 and
from Butte to Seattle its mileage will
be little greater. making the entire
extension substantially 1,500 miles.
1t will cost about $4,000 mile, or
a total of about $60,0O0,OO0. The
actual work of construction has be-
gun already on the Pacific coast
extension and it is expected to be
built and under operation as far as
Butte by Jan. 1st, 1908, and Seattle
