lic-Branch to Spokane and Tacoma.

The following official announcement
is made from Chicago concerning the
route to be taken by the new Pacific

length and it is said that it will be
completed to Butte, Mont, by Janu-
airy l, 1908, and that trains will be in
operation over the entire line one year
later. Contracts have been let for the
construction work and track has been
laid from Glenham, S. D., to a point
about 20 miles west of the Missouri
river.
The road will cross the Missouri riv-
er II miles west of Glenham and then
for about 40 miles follow the line of
Oak creek and its tributaries and then
parallel the line between North and
South Dakota for about 80 miles.
The state line between the North
Dakota and Montana will be crossed
about eight miles west of the Little
Missouri river. Four miles east of Ter
ry, Mont, the new road will cross
the Northern Pacific by passing over
head. 1t is probable that division head
quarters will be established at Miles
City.
From Butte westward, the line fol-
lows the Deer Lodge, He'll Gate, Mis-
soula and st. Regis rivers to a point
about four miles west of Saltese, Mont,
where the ascent to the summit of the
Bitter Root range will commence.
The line follows the st. Joe river to
within a few miles of its mouth and
crosses the daho-Washington line
near Tekoa, Wash.
The Columbia river will be crossed
by a bridge of Is spans, having a total
length of 2750 feet.
About 90 miles west of the Columbia
river a tunnel 34O0 feet in length will
he constructed and another two miles
In length will be built at Snoqualmie
pass. At Maple Valley, Washington,
connection will be made with the Co
lumhia & Puget Sound railroad over
the tracks of which access will be OBJ
tanned to Seattle. A new line will be
constructed from Black River Junction
to Tacoma.
