the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
railroad that this company will build
g branch line into Billings, but that
construction will not begin until after
the completion Of the coast extension
Of the company. Preliminary surveys
are now being made for the Billings
branch. which involves about flfty
miles Of railroad construction.
1T has been unofncially known In
Billings for some time that the Mil
waukee railroad contemplated con
structing . branch line to this city.
There have been two surveys made for
such an extension Of the new trans
continental highway. one of them has
been from Forsyth up the Yellowstone
river, paralleling the Northern Pa
cific. while the other has been from
Roundup through the Bull mountains
By means Of 9 tunnel and thence down
one q the small tributaries On water
grade to the Yellowstone = few miles
east Of Billings and on into this city.
The former line would require, prac.
tically 80 miles Of construction, while
The latter would take less than 50,

Yale Was Never u Danger, While the
Cadets Made ons Fatal Error, and
that Cost Them the Game consid-
erable Interest y Shown.


Ia justice It must be said, however,
that neither was cadets except once.
Still that once, which followed a. III.
expected penalty. brought about their
defeat. Coy had punted to Dean near
the end Of the second half. Johnston
who had replaced Carberry, was too
eager to block the opposing end and
the cadets lost the ball and fifteen
yards to boot for holding. This gave
the pigskin to Yale on the cadets Is
yard line. West Point. dghting desper-
ately, lost heart and BY successive line
plunges Yale carried the BAH across
the goal amid frantic cries "hold ZEN,
hold 'em," from the gray clad cadets.
Coy made the touch down and after
the punt out, kicked goal.
The Yale fullback's name Is the only
one figuring in the score and deserved
ly 80, for It was his consistent kicking
and plunging that was responsible for
the victory Of the visitors. S. &
AS the coaches had announced, Yale
relied solely on old fashioned foot
ball. She attempted no on-side kicks,
no forward passes and but one fake
play, q double pass from punt forma-
tion.
This, however, failed to gain. West
Point on the other hand. made two
pretty gains on on-side kicks, one Of
IS yards Her much heralded forward
pass, however. was in evidence but
once and then it nearly cost touch
down. Dean had hurled the ball clean
" for 80 yards to a waiting West
Pointer, but Goebel, the big Yale tack
le, jumping high in the air, blocked
the pigskin.
Nadel, his team mate, picked 1t up
and raced forty yards for what seemed
9 touchdown. However, the referee
had blown his whistle for an off-side
play BY the cadets, we're given the
choice Of accepting a five yards pen
atty or all owing the touchdown. They
took the fine and Yale took the score.
Captain Burch, the big lineman,
Cooney and Hobbs and Logan, were
out Of the New Haven eleven's line
up owing to injuries. #
Considering the excessive heat, sub
stitutions were scare, and It was only
one injury, Chamberlain, the cadets
cullback, who suffered a fractured col
lar hone.
Arrangements for handling the
crowds were excellent and there were
10000 spectators.

Finally acting on the suggestion OF
President Roosevelt, Governor Sparks
of Nevada has summoned the state

Sparks that the federal troops would

should be issued within FIVE days, this
being In response to a long telegram
from the governor reciting the condi'

the legislature was composed OF men
known to sympathize largely with the

COMMERCIAL
Americas Year of Trade.

Americas year OF traoes
The annual review of trade as pub
lished by Dun's agency shows the year
1907 to have been remarkable In many
RESPECTS. the commercial activity OF
the first ten months being in marked
contrast to the depression which tol-
lowed the financial disturbance In
October.
In iron and steel the production Tor
the first half of the year babe fair TO
raise the years figures far above all
previous records, but by Dec. the
weekly output had fallen to the lowest
point since November, 1904, not more
than 33 per cent of the entire capacity
being in operation.
In dry goods the volume of business
transacted was without precedent. not
withstanding the heavy falling OH or
the last two months. The exports or
| this line of goods showed q marked de-
| cline from the previous year, the most
notable being in connection with the
Chinese trade.
A great curtailment Of tanning OPP
erations. with the consequent decrease
in the consumption Of hides, carried
prices for these latter to the lowest
noint reached in decade. though the
price of leather was not materially af'
fected. The boot and shoe trade seems
to have suffered a severe check.
Silver bullion after moderate fiuctua
lions closed the year at the lowest quo
tations of the past four years. Not
withstanding the extraordinary de
mands created by the monetary crisis
of October. the total imports OF golt
were considerably less than In 1906.
In the stock market the genera
tendency has been downward, ana IL
October prices not only dropped 10 tn'

Ex.Prssidents Should Be Paid.
In q notable article In recent issue
of the Youths Companion Grover
Cleveland, the only living ex-president
of the United States, makes the con-
tention that the nation should grant
to every man who has served In the
Office of chief executive a financial
competence for life. He explains that
he is not moved by personal reasons.
as he is financially independent and
will leave his family well provided
for. His argument is to the effect that
| the nation exacts from its ex-presi-
dents dignity and aloofness from the
usual occupations Of life that restrain
them from engaging in money making
| pursuits: therefore he thinks provision
should be made for them out OF the
public treasury. As illustrating his
| point. he refers to the extremities &c
which some ex-presidents have been
reduced, citing particularly the case
Of Jefferson, who was brought almost
to dire want in his old age.
