NORTHWESTERN is COMING.

The visit Of the representatives Of
the Northwestern railroad to Montana
and the northwest on a scouting expe.
dition investigating tonnage offered
railroads in this state in order to as
certain the feasibility Of constructing
an extension westward to he cast
through Montana, partially coniirms
the story printed in The Gazette last
summer announcing that the North
western intended building west from
Belle Fourche, 8. Oak, through Bill
ings and to the coast.
The construction OF a ~lra1scorti.
mental line by the Milwaukee, the
rival Of the Northwestern, and the
operation Of the Burlington railroad
in conjunction with the Northern Pa.
cifc and Great Northern, practically
forces the Northwestern to built west
ward. It Is certain that the ROAD will
ultimately be extended to the coast.
1t will 60 through that portion Of the
country that will afford the greatest
tonnage. Billings, with her sugar beet
crop, her wool market, her livestock,
her agricultural interests and the min
ing regions tributary to her offers the
tonnage needed. There is not another
city in the state. outside Of Butte,
which can offer such great tonnage,
and it will be a question Of but a few
years until the agricultural interests
Of the Yellowstone valley and her live.
stock will afford greater tonnage than
the mines OF the state. and such ton.
mage will be more lasting.
Billings Is n Of the most impor.
tant points on the Northern Pacific
system. The passenger business out
Of here Is greater than at any other
point between st. Paul and Spokane
The freight traffic Is enormous. Bill
ings Is bound to be the metropolis Of
eastern Montana, and the supply point
Of not only this portion of the state
but of northern Wyoming. The Mil
waukee railroad probably made q mis-
take when 1t did not come through
Billings and make a bid for the ton
mage originating here. It is said 9
branch line is to be built to remedy
the mistake. But If Billings Is sit
uated OF the main line Of the pro
posed extension Of the Northwestern
that railroad is sure to get a good
portion of the business originating
here.
Then, again, Billings needs another
transcontinental railroad. The build
ing Of such a line through here would
hasten the granting Of low freight
rates and thus enable Billings to com
pete with an other place in the coun
ing OF such q line through here would
try as q distributing point.

Judge Parker uas a right to feel out
ragged. Mr.. Bryan permitted the init
nation to 60 forth that he would sup
port Judge Parker, and such intima-
ton led to the effort that eliminated
in his nomination by the democratic
convention in st. Louis. To accept the
nomination Judge Parker left q posi-
ton Of honor on the bench and
changed his plans Of life.
It does not matter that he was de-
feated. Even had he received the
hearty support of Mr.. Bryan It would
have been impossible to elect the dem

Judge Parker had a right to expect

Throughout the rail- and winter
there has been a steady influx Of in
tending settlers to the Yellowstone
valley. Hardly a week has passed but
what several farm units unoer the
Huntley reclamation project have
been filed upon and a number Of set
tiers secured for lands under the Bill
ings Land & Irrigation company's'
ditch. Even through worst part OF
the recent financial depression the in
fux continued. While there were
many families among the number, the
greater portion Of intending settlers
consisted Of the heads OF the family,
the men coming west to secure the
land and then returning east again to
bring their families. There were hun
dreds Of such men and as a result
there will be hundreds of families ar
rive in this valley to make their
homes before the time for spring crop
planting arrives. There will also be
scores of others who will come to file
on government lands or purchase
farms under some Of the irrigation
projects, prepared to at once begin
cultivation OF the land they secure.
These intending settlers insure 9 large
increase in the population Of the val
ley during the next few months.
But few people probably realize
just how rapidly this section Of the
state is increasing in population. But
it would be conservative to say that
this spring there will settle on unculti-
waited land in the vicinity Of Billings
more than 400 families. The amount
OF land filed on in the local land ONCE
and the amount Of land sold by the
agents for irrigated projects warrants
such an estimate. That means at
least 1000 or 5000 more people to
secure their supplies from Billings.
