FIFTY CENTS A DAY FOR REACH.
ING N. p. BY SEPT. 1.
TRACK NOW ALL LAID
Work Of RaIIastins from Billings End
Will BE Started at once-Throuoh
Traffic to be Handled BY December
Local Traffic Soon.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Billings and Great Falls are now
connected with a direct railroad line.
The last rail on the Billings & North
ern, connecting the Burlington and
Northern Pacific with the Great North
erH, was laid at the junction east OF
Laurel Monday afternoon, eight hours
ahead Of schedule time and in time to
gain for the members OF the track lay
ing crew additional compensation OF
50 cents per day, which had been as
sured them If the track laying was
completed before September /.
Many of the track layers drew their
time, including the extra compensa-
ton, and came to Billings yesterday.
Others returned to the camp north OF
Laurel and will assist in preparing the
road for traffic.
Work OF %ballasting the road on the
Laurel end will commence at once.
Trains with ballasting crews will be
rnR north every day from the juno
ton. Traffic in a small way will be
commenced and it will probably be
possible to ship goods to some points
On it by October 1. But there is con
siderable work to be done by the con-
tractors before heavy traffic can be
handled and as a result it is not ex-
peeted that the Burlington freight and
passenger business will be switched
from the Northern Pacific to the new
line and the Great Northern before
December IL, and probably not until
after the first Of the year.
No Official information has as yet
been received as to who will be the
officials of the new line, though It is
generally understood that the Great
Northern will operate it.
The Billings & Northern railroad
opens a fertile territory tributary to
Billings, which has had no railroad
connection with the Sugar City. It
passes through the fertile dry farming
regions at Broadview and vicinity and
traverses n of the richest portions
OF Meagher and Fergus counties, all
Of which territory will pc IN a posi-
ton to secure it's supplies from Bill
lings. It also furnishes a connecting
line for Billings with the Milwaukee
and it is understood that the state
railway commission has had up for
consideration the making of a junction
where the two roads meet.

ELKS MAY BUILD
 DOUGLAS HOME
ORDER IN THE SHELTER CITY HAS HAD RAPID GROWTH IN LAST THREE YEARS AND MAY ERECT HALL AND THEATER.

DOUGLAS, July 25.-The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks in this city will in the near future consider the proposition of erecting building for the accommodation of the lodge and also to supply club room for its mem- bers. The Elks own four lots on the corner of Tenth street and F avenue and this will be the location of the new building
 Already there has been considerable informal discussion of this building and it is not unlikely that it will be started before the end of the present year. The lodge also owns two lots on F avenue which will probably be sold and the proceeds used in the new building. Two propositions have been made for the Elks building; one is to build a home and hall for the members at a cost of sl0,OOO to sl5 900, and another is to build building of sufficient size to also accommodate an up-to-date opera house. Such a building would probably cost s40,000.
 During the past year the Elks lodge in Douglas has increased its member. ship more than one hundred and now has total membership of over three hundred
 The recent burlesque circus given by the lodge members did not yield the profit that was at first reported, only about sl25 being cleared above ex- penses. The members are now giving series of dances at the pavilion in Sportsman s park for the purpose of ad. ding to the building fund of the order.
