another railroad is calling forth favor
able comments from the press all over
the state. The Helena Record, in
commenting edtorially upon the move
ment started under the heading.
"Lewistown is in Line" says:
"The people of Lewistown are alive
and awake to the possibilities of the
future. They want more railroads and
they propose to get them, il activity
and energetic endeavor on their part
can bring the proposed lines to their
city.
'At a mass meeting of the citizens
of Lewistown held few evenings
ago, 1t was decided to induce the Chi.
cago Milwaukee & st. Paul to come
to that city, if such a thing be posi-
Bile. Committees were appointed, the
members of which will engage at once
in the work of proving to the st. Paul
officials that it will be immensely to
the benefit of their road to touch Lew
istown. The understanding is that
| there are now surveying parties in
the Judith country. 1t is always pos

ness men, farmers and others to point
out advantages that might easily be
overlooked by strangers, highly COM
petent though they be.
"The ST. Paul will find in the whole
northwest no more fertile section than
the Judith basin Rightfnlly it is sty-
led an empire. It's resources have
barely been touched. It is wonder
fully rich in agricultural in mining
and in stockgrowing possibilities. It's
development during the last few years
has been remarkably rapid, but the
region is practically still virgin. The
Record hopes that the people Of Lew.
istown will be successful in their ef-
fort to induce the Chicago. Milwau-
kee & st. Paul to enter the Judith
basin and to touch Lewistown That
would be gratifying from every point
of view"

Prepare to Push the Work.


Billings. Jan. 1s.-'I expect to
make my headquarters in Billings af
ter the construction work on the
Great Falls extension begins, was
night by M. E. Read, engineer in
charge of the southern half of the
Great Northern survey party.
"Then you think that construction
work will start in earnest in the
spring." he was asked.
"Well, of course, I don't know anv
more about it than any one he re-
piled cautiously. Construction may
never be started, but it looks that
way"
The Great Northern now has six
parties in the field Mr.. Read has
charge of three parties on the south.
ern half of the line and w. e.
Smith has charge of three parties on
the northern half. There are fifteen
men in each party.
It is a well known fact that the
Great Northern knows about what OBJ
stacles are to be encountered in this
proposed line. the present survey is
merely an adjustment Of the old sur
yey of the Burlington, so it is consid-
cred unlikely that President Hill
would have ordered the present sur
vey unless active construction were
contemplated.
1t is not thought that the road is
being built for the purpose of hand
ling the local traffic which, while
considerable, would be inadequate
to Justify the great expense that will
be entailed by the building Of the ex-
tension. The general impression
among railroad men and others here,
who have given the matter conaii-
GRAFTON, is that the Great Falls Bill
lnes extension is part of a system
which President Hill has in mind
to connect the great northwest with
the southeast It will give a through
connection over the Burlington be-
tween Seattle and ST. Louis and di-
vert a large part of the present day
traffic from present day cumbersome
routes. It will be a short cut eventu-
ally from Seattle to the Gulf ports
, and intermediate points.

For the ntsl time since it became
known that the Great Northern in
tended to build from Great Falls to
Billings, the Argus is abe to an
nounce the line to be followed across
Fergus county This information was
obtained from the parties from whom
the railroad company has secured
right of way, and it is therefore Off

route, the Argus is able to announce
that the company, desiring to take ad
vantage of the open winter prevailing
in this section, is preparing to start
construction work at the earliest pos
sible moment, and if the present
weather continues, grading will com

Feb. /.
Thirty Miles From -ewistown.
The route shows that the line will
rot come nearer than 80 miles to Lew.
istOwn. Its closest approach to this
city will be where it cr'sses the Has
sett ranch. This me0ns that the
much talked of "spur" to Lewistown
from the main line will cover dis
tance of about 80 miles. There are
of course two ways of looking at it,
but well informed me, say it will
be better for this city if the com
pany does not intend to build in here,
to have it 80 miles away than less
distance.
Route Of the Road,
Generally speaking, it may be said
that the line will follow the old Bur-
lington survey quite closely through
this county. It will cross Wolf creek
1-1-2 miles northeast of Stanford,
crossing the ranches of J. M. Croft
and Ed. Stack on Willow creek. II
will then cross the ONE ranch OF
the Sage Creek s "ep company,
on Sage creek, conf out on top OF
the hill at the Sa creek divide
1t will run down into the Judith
valley across Thom,-c Murray's
| ranch and the ranch OF James Mat
eer. 1t follows the Lewright ranch
right along the section line and
crosses the Judith right on the Meth
odist 40 acres, then crosses the
| lduClco Vi MIS-. AlllC bIOWH. ~
A. Lewis and J. G. Hauck, and keep
| ing west of Ross fork, crosses the
| Hassett ranch between Garneill ant
old Ubet, passing out of the county
near this point. Near the county
line it will cross the Montana Rail
roads tracks for the first time.
Distances From Towns.
AS before stated this carries the
line about 80 miles from Lewistown
and to those unfamiliar with the 10
cation of the various ranches named
it may be said that it will run abou
a mile and a half east of Stanford
eight miles from Utica, two miles
from Philbrook, three miles from
Straw, one mile from old Ubet an,
the same distance from Garneill
being about midway between thi
two places last named.

ANCIENT coFFlNs.

The collins Of the ancient Egyp-
tians were made of marble and stone.
The Romans used similar receptacles
for their dead, and Alexander the
Great is said to have been buried in
a coffin Of solid gold. In parts Of
England glass collins have been
found.
The Athenian heroes were buried
in collins made of cedar, owing to its
aromatic and incorruptible qualities,
while the first record Of wooden cof-
fins in England dates back to the
days of King Arthur. This monarch
was supposed to have been buried in
the followed trunk Of a gigantic oak
tree. Patent collins we're invented in
1876, and metallic air tight collins
we're advertised at Birmingham in
1861.-The Sunday Magazine.

flashing sword, and as rapidly darts
back, not turning in the air, but with
a clash reversing the action of its
four wings, and instantaneously cal
culating the distance of the objects,
or it would dash itself to pieces. No
one can tell in what conformation of
the eye this power consists. A thou

CAT THAT ATE cUcuMBERs.

A cat that ate cucumbers and
squashes has just been dispatched
in the tte##a &C Wells Wells, and and, 90 faI a5
known, there is not another like it in
York county,
The animal had been living on
Elm farm, which is owned by Mrs.
Vesta E. Hammond, and for some
time the people living near the place
have been troubled by some ami
NAL eating into the cucumbers that
were left and the squashes we're far
ing about as badly.
1t was a long time before it was
discovered what was doing the mis-
chief. The cucumbers and squashes
were harvested and it was thought
that they would be all right in the
barn.
One day Charles Graves, the hired
man, went into the barn rather
quickly, and there found the cat
eating away On a ripe cucumber. It
had already put one Of the squashes
out of business, so far as its ever
being made into pies was concerned.

NEleHsoRs HAD THE LAUGH.
Smiths Burglar" Not Capable Of Do
ing Much Harm.

"Wake up" said Mrs. Smith to
her husband, 'there's a burglar in
the next ROOM"
Smith crept cautiously out of bed
and with his revolver in one hand
and the lamp in the other began to
look for the burglar. He peered in
every corner and under the bed, but
there was no one in sight.
Maybe he's in the closet?" sug-
gested Mrs. Smith as she pointed
towards a large clothes closet in one
corner of the room.
Mr.. Smith, lamp and revolver in
hand, slipped up to the closet and
suddenly threw the door wide open.
He saw a long white thing that
looked like the ghost Of a burglar in
the closet. Smiths legs gave way
and he sank down on the floor, al
most exploding the lamp. He
slammed the door. 1t was several
minutes before Smith could arise
from the floor and then he opened
the window and called to the neigh
bors for help.
Several men responded and as two
Of them stood with leveled revolvers
a third opened the closet door. Then
a laugh burst from the group.
"There's your burglar! !" exclaimed
one Of the half-clad neighbors as he
pointed to a white "Mother Hub
bard" dress that swung slowly to and
fro in front Of the ezpectant burglar

POWER IN pERu's RIVERS.

eaea Is Also Enormous.

Mr.. Habich, director Of the tech
nical school of Lima, in an article
published in the bulletin Of mines of
Peru in its issue of July 81, 1901,
pointed out hal Peru, with its rivers
descending from elevations of 5000,
1000 and 5000 meters, possessed in
cslculable sources of power and
showed that the Rimac river alone
was capable of developing at least
100000 horse power. The Chile
river is amply capable of furnishing
all the motive power necessary for
great industrial purposes, represent
ing, as it does, a colossal hydraulic
force hitherto overlooked.
BY far the most important source
of water power supply of Peru is
Lake Titicaca, lying $500 meters
above the level Of the sea, with a sur
face area of 5000 square kilometers,
and an average depth of 20 meters.
Lake Titicaca lies in a hollow, sur
rounded on all sides by an unbroken
ridge Of mountains, ranging from
$50 to 800 meters in height, present.
ing a formidable engineering prob.
lem which can be overcome by only
two solutions, either tunneling
through the mountain or pumping
the water up and over the lowest
practicable eminence.
A petition is now before congress
urging the appointment of a special
commission to make surveys and re-
port on the feasibility of such a de-
velopment and to prepare estimates
on the probable cost of construction,
a view of drawing up a bill of
governing a concession
which foreign capital will be
invited to undertake the project.

BEEF TEA REQUIRES CARE.

Nutriment.

Every home nurse is supposed to
know how to make beef tea, yet it is
surprising how many failures r to bel

operation. The fault generally is that
too little time is given to the cooking.
The point to be borne in mind is that,
as far as possible, the whole Of the
nutriment of the beef is to be extract.

gravy beef, cut 1t up in small pieces
and put 1t into a stone jar with a pint
Of water and a little salt. Replace the
lid Of the Jar and let it stand all night

hours. Strain the fluid through a col.
ander, but instead of throwing away
