Tie Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul
railroad is operating fifty nine and
two-tenths miles of its Pacific coast
extension. The part Of the r)ad com!
|pleted lies between Mobridge and Nc
Intosh, in South Dakota. The town
of Mobridge is on the Missouri river,
near Glenham, S. D., and the road
from that point goes northea.t to the
North Dakota line.
The work on the eastern end of the
extension is under the supervision Of
H. B. Earling, brother Of President
A. J. Earling. The efforts of the
construction crews are directed toward
finishing that part of the road first :.
Milwaukee officials predict that within
three months the line between Men,
tosh. s. D, and Hariowton, Mont, will
be completed.
Much of the sfade work in the prai-
rie country has. ALREADY been finished,
so that track laying and ballasting the
roadbed remain to be done. At present
the Milwaukee crews are laying rails
at the rate of forty miles month,
but later in the season the work will
be much more rapid.
The line between Harlowton and
Lombarod, Mont, which is part of
the Montana railroad purchased by the
Milwaukee, will become part of the
Milwaukee's extension. Changes in
the line have been PANIED, but for
the present the old line will be used.
Between Lombard and Butte an army
of men is at work. A great deal Of
the heavy rock work has been done !;
and progress has been made on the
Pipestone pass tunr ell, south of Butte.
Crews are working at both ends of the
bore, and by the time the digging has
been finished the track will have been
laid.
Between Butte and Pipestone pass
several miles of track has been laid,
and beyond Harlowton nearly forty
miles has been finished. At present
the Milwaukee officials see no diff
Guilty in the way of operating the ex-
tension from Mobridge SD, to Butte,
Mont, by early spring, in accordance
with the prediction made by President
Earling in Seattle few weeks since.
Railroad men are interested in the
report that the Milwaukee Is building
line along the St. Maries river from
the town of St. Maries to Collins,
Idaho, the terminal station of the
Washington, Idaho & Montana railroad.
The proposed route was recently resur-
veyed, and active construction work
will begin shortly.

unless we are willing to abandon this
place, to abandon our insistence upol
the Monroe doctrine, to give up the
Panama canal, and to be content 20
acknowledge ourselves a weak and
timid nation. we must steadily build up

Keep Battleships Together.
Our navy is already so efficient
as to be matter of just pride to every
American. So long as our navy is no
larger than at present, it must be con-
sidered as an elementary principle
that the bulk of our battle fleet must
always be kept together. When the
Panama canal is built it can be trans
ferred without difficulty from one pa t
of our coast to the other; but even be-
fore that canal is built it ought to be
thus transferred to and fro from time

to one part of our country is ultimate
ly of benefit to the whole. Exactly
as it is a good thing for the interior
of our country that the seapOrts on
the Atlantic and the Pacific and the
Gulf should be safe and commOdious,
so it is to the interest of the dwellers
on the coast that the interior should
possess ample facilities for the trans
portation of it's products. Our inter-
ests are all closely interviewer. and in
the long run it will be found that we
go up or go down together.
Eject of Panama Canal.
"Take, for instance, the Panama
canal. If the Mississippi is restored
TO its former place of Importance as a
highway of commerce, then the BULL
ing of the Panama canal will be felt
as an impediate advantage to the
business of every city and country
district in the Mississippi valley. 1
think that the building of that canal
will be of especial advantage to the
states that lie along the Pacific ami
the states that lie along the Gulf: ana
yet, after all, feel that the advantage
will be shared in an only less degree
by the states of the interior and of the
Atlantic coast. In other words, it is
a thoroughly national work, under
taken for and redounding to the adj
vantage of the nation as whole.
Now, gentlemen, this leads me up
| to another matter for national con-
sideration, and that is our navy The
navy is not primarily of importance
only to the coast regions. 1t is every
| bit as much the concern of the farmer
who dwells a thousand miles from
sea water as of the fisherman who
makes his living on the ocean, for K
is the concern of every good American
who knows what the meaning OF thu
word patriotism is. This country Is
definitely committed to certain funda
mental policies-to the Monroe do,
trine, for instance, and to the duty n u
only of building, but, when it is built
of policing and defending the Panama
canal. We have definitely taken on,
place among the great world powers
and it would be sign of ignoble weak
ness, having taken such a place, t.

FINALLY, on the lower courses Of

pose of serving navigation. this Will
also prevent the ruin of alluvial bot

sufficiently far advanced to enable ma
to speak definitely as to the plans

say one word of warning: The danger
of entering on any such scheme lies
in the adoption of impossible and IN
desirable plans, plans the adoption of
which means an outlay of money ey-
travagant beyondsall proportion to the
return, or which, though feasible, are
not, relatively to other plans, of an
Importance which warrant their ador-
ton. 1t will not be easy to secure the
assent Of a fundamentally cautious
people like our own to the adoption
of such a policy as that | hope to see
adopted; and even if we begin to fol
low out such policy it certainly will
not be persevered in if it is found to
entail reckless extravaganza or to Re
tainted with jobbery. The interests
