Bulgarian negotiations looking to n set

from Bulgaria S sudden declaration of

TO BUILD EXTENSION
General Superintendent Ustick
Talks of Plans of His
Road.

The rumors which have been rife in
this city for 4 long time to the effect
that the c. Is. Il @. railroad proposed
to build an extension of its line from
Guernsey, Wyo., 10 Thermopolis, Wyop
and then 80 this city. were set Mt rest
last night when T.. III, Ustick, general
superintendent of the Burlington, ar
rived in this city in his private car over
the O. s. L.. from Butte. Mont, In re-
ply to question as to the extension,
Mr.. Ustich said that his line would not
be built from Guernsey TO Thcrmopohs
for long time to come, and that meant,
in the natural course Of things, that
the Burlington would not be extended TO
this city, or 10 the coast. he admitted
that the project had been seriously CON
sidered, but that the idea had been
abandoned after the entire matter had
been carefully gone over.
Mr.. Ustick is accompanied on his trip
by four division superintendent, II. w.
Hamm of Centervillc. Ia; Robert Rice

and the party will take in the sights of
the city today, leaving this afternoon.
In speaking Of the presidential posi-.
bilitics, Mr.. Ustick said that he could
see nothing but Taft. ''Ue has made
good over our way he said, land |
look for his election beyond any shadow
of doubt. He will certainly carry our
state, and believe il is foregone CON
clusion that he will receive the majority
of the votes cast in the electoral col
lege.D
Mr.. Usticll does not look for any inn
in the railroad business after
election. At the present time 1t is
dull, and this condition, he
will continue for the next few
months and possibly for year. He
added: "The election of either Taft or
Bryan will make no difference TO the
-ailroad business, at least not for some
lime 10 come; and | guess we will enjoy
lust as much prosperity whichever way
he election goes as we are enjoying

TUNNEL BITTER ROOT RANGE

II IS said that the Northern Pacific
1ill build a cutoff from Borax. Mont,
% Spokane by tunncling through the
Bitter Root mountains.
Many advantages. il is stated, will be
gained. First is the reduction OF dis
lance from Missoua 10 Spokane BY more
than eighty miles. This means all
through passengers and freight will take
the cutoff. Which wiz strike the Coeur
4 'Alepe river after it cmerges from the
