NEAR TwENTY.FiFTH STREET
AND MONTANA AVENUE.
PLANNING FOR YARDS
Railroad Company Will Ask City to
Close Twenty.Fourth and Twenty
third Streets and Will Open TWEEN
ty-Eiahth and Twenty-second.
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
The new passenger station to be
erected in Billings by the Northern
Pacific railroad will be constructed
on Montana avenue In the nelghbor-
hood of Twenty-ffth street, according
to unofRcial information received in
Billings.
The plans for the new structure are
said to have been completed and to
call for one Of the finest depot struc-
lures in the west. 1t will probably be
erected close to the street and at eth
er end will be sidetracks where trains
will be switched. It is said there will
be SUFFICIENT trackage laid at the
structure to accommodate all the pas
senger business Of the three rail-
roads c%entering in Billings for years
to come.
In order to secure the room for
tracks and yards the railroad COM
pany will seek to have Twenty-fourth
street closed by the city and will close
Twenty-third street, which is not a
public thoroughfare, though it has
been used as such. In return the
company will open Twenty-eighth
street, where the present depot stands
and will either run a subway or cross
ing on Twenty-second street, probably
the former.
Report Practically Confirmed.
While General Superintendent
Goodell, who has been IN Billings two
days, refused to commit himself as to
the possible location Of the new de-
pot, saying he had not seen the plans,
he admitted that the railroad company
would ask for the vacating Of TWENTY
fourth street and T~wenty-third street
and would in return open the streets
named. He said that Of course 1t
would take time to build such a struc-
ture as is contemplated for Billings,
but said he felt confident that unless
plans miscarried construction work on
the depot would be started in the
springtime.
when it is started" said Mr..
Gooddell, work Of building the
structure will be pushed and 1t will
be completed as soon al possible"

TOURING THE ROUTE
ROAD COMING WEST
BIC Middle Western Linz viii Prob.
. ably Run Extension Through BIZ

Looking for Tonnage.

From Thursdays Daily.
Coming through the west, probably
to look ove the business In advance
Of the extension Of the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad through Bill
ings to the coast. Is a party OF promi-
nent officials Of that road, including
3. .. Brigham, general freight agent
Of the Northwestern: G. "A. Cairns,
general passenger agent Of the North
western; q. B. ODER, general freight
agent Of the st. Paul. Minneapolis and
Omaha, and g. r. MacRae, assistant
general passenger agent Of the same
line, which Is a part Of the North
western system.
The officials will probably come
through Billings on their way back
east, in line with their quest for in
formation on the richness Of the ter
ritory to be tapped in Montana and
the future OF the country. The intor-
nation which Is gathered on this. trip
will be laid before the directors very
shortly, It is said. and final decision
reached as to the contemplated ex-
tension Of the road to the coast.
While the Northwestern oficials
were in Helena they denied that their
visit had anything to do with the con-
templated extension Of the road, but
|it has been learned from q thoroughly
Trustworthy source that their visit
means something more than a mere
routine trip OF inspection.
Projected Extension.
1t means the projected extension OF
the Chicago & Northwestern railway
through Billings to the coast. It Is
In the nature OF q scouang party to
ascertain the tonnage available, the
resources Of the country and the op-
portunities for developing and exploit
ling them that more traffic will be gen
Grated.
In past years it has been the custom
for a single official to come west, visit
the general agents and hurry onward.
In this party, however, are the chiefs
of the Northwestern.
The preliminary plans OF the North
western for its coast extension are
said to be to extend the road from
Belle Fourche, South Dakota, into
Montana, through Billings and west
ward in the Yellowstone valley across
the state to the coast. 1t is said that
for some time the company has been
gathering material at the terminus OF
the road in South Dakota to be used
In beginning work on this extension.
During the recent money stringency
talk Of extending the road ceased, but
the visit Of the ofncials to the north
west Is thought to mean that with the
easing Of money conditions the plans
Tor extension will again be considered.
