running from Billings to Great Falls.
will connect the Burlington and the
Great Northern railway systems, will
not only build branch into Lewis
town but will also make Kendall. De
velopments OF the past few days point
very strongly to the intention of the
Burlington officials to build a branch
line to the big gold camp in the North
Moccasins.
Last Saturday night, one of the chief
engineers of the Burlington road ac-
companied by one or two of his men,
came into this city and left Sunday
tor lower Spring creek to spy out the
best possible route into Kendall
1t is thought that a good grade can
be secured by coming up the Judith

Spring creek for few miles and then
working through a gap between the
South and North Moccasins If this
route is not feasible, it will be nee
essary to swing around the noun

REAL ESTATE
TRANSACTIONS
Bit OF Spring Weather Starts Con-
siderable Activity in Different
Parts of County.

| The spring weather which prevailed
last week had the effect of rustlinp
the real estate dealers out, and as a
result, number of deals were made.
There were few sales of city prop
Ierty during the week but number are
being negotiated Real estate men
look for a great number Of transfers
in this city during the coming spring
and summer. They say that investors
are no longer afraid to put their
money into Lewistown realty as the
future of the town is positively as
sured.
Something over one year ago, John
q Adams, who represented Chicago
syndicate, said to be very close to the
Chicago, Milwaukee & ST Paul rail
road crowd, purchased about $50 lots
III Lewistown from George Stafford.
The price paid for these lots was
about $40 each. Not long since, some
local and outside men looked around
with view to buying these lots but
the price which the eastern people
placed on the property stopped the
deal. It is said that Mr.. Adams and
his associates consider that they got
prime bargain in these lots and ex-
pect to more than treble their money
within the next year.
Following are few OF the trans
actions recorded in the office of clerk
and recorder during the past week:

The decision of Judge Henry was

y dispatch from Helena saws:
Alter the lst day of April, gambling
OF every kind will be legal in Montana
and it will be impossible to eoIIect
ANY licenses from any person engaging
III gambling, according to the Griffin
Ipill, passed al the late session of the
legislature.
lhe Griffin bill is the much adver.
used measure that was supposed tn
drive the tiger from Montana Ac-
cordlng to its provisions, as the an.
proved bill IS on file in the office of
the secretary OF state, it is a law to
authorize all forms of gambling. and
TO repeal all laws that NAV have
ever existed in Montana authorizing
ne state, any county or any munich
patty to collect license from gambling.
It was discovered yesterday that the
bill, as approved by the governor, con.
tains the following Joker:
Provided, that nothing herein con-
tanned prohibits any person, not a mi
nor, from playing cards or other games
or cigars"
1t was the belief Of all members of
the legislature that this provision was
killed in the legislature The journals
OF the senate and house show that IL
was killed, but it was in the engrossed
Dill as transmitted to the governor and
approved by him. and it will be the
Ia" OF the state after April L. How it
got INTO the bill is unknown. An in
vestigation might show what clerk is
esponsible for the proviso. If wa.
not approved by the legislature, but j,
Is not possible to go back of the en-
crossed copy that is on record.
Under this proviso every gambling
game may be played All that will be
necessary to make gambling legal is to
stamp each check used. Good for one
lgar, IN games ill which checks are
used; IN other games, cigar may be
2fered tor every play, or some other
icgai arrangement may be made.
The new law repeats all other laws
,,n the subject OF gambling. After
April /, there will be no prohibition
ot gambling, il cigars are directly or
Indirectly at stake
The neI law expressly forbids any
from passing any ordi-
ance with reference to gambling; this
