When Cans was 81 at his dressing

were badly lacerated and his face
pulled out like an inflated balloon. He
mumbled out the following state

Nelson said:

around at the far side OF the field
and raced along at increasing speed.
There was hardly q CULVER. Of the

Billings has waited long for a new
depot, but the monument to the build
ers' art, which the Northern Pacific
is erecting on its right Of way In the
eastern part of the city. is ample re-
ward for the Inconvenience the trav
cling public has suffered and the short.
comings Of the present structure.
In superiority OF workmanship and
materials used the new depot is unex.
celled by any other similar structure
in the northwest. Where possible all
the knowledge that has been added
to the builders art in the past few
years has either been used in erecting
the new structure or in drawing the
plans.
The depot will be completed and
ready for use this winter, perhaps by
the first Of the year. If not at that
time, it will not be the fault Of the
contractor, since the work Is being
pushed as much as circumstances will
permit.
The foundations Of the main building
and lunch room are laid. The lunch

ANTICIPATES IMMIGRATION FROM
COLORADO TO BILLINGS.
BEET GROWERS COMING
Shortage Of Water in Colorado Will
Cause Many to Come to the Yellow
stone Valley, Where Beets Run
High in Sugar and Water Plentiful.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Special efforts are to be made by
the Burlington railroad to bring set.
tiers to Montana this rall,' declared
W. v. Walton, a Colorado real estate
dealer, who lives in Denver, "and the
land agents Of the road anticipate that
many will be secured from the sugar
beet growing districts Of Colorado.
THAT explains why the company has
established q land seekers information
bureau in Denver. It wants to distri-
butte literature about this section
among the beet growers Of the Cen
tennial state.
Colorado will not produce a very
satisfactory beet crop this year ow-
ing to the shortage Of water the past
summer. This is especially true Of the
country along the Arkansas river,
where there are six or seven facto-
ries. None OF them will secure the
amount Of beets they anticipated and
the farmers will not make as much
money as they expected. Consequently
they will look for some other field.
"The Yellowstone valley offers the
best inducements. Your country Is
especially adapted to the growing Of
sugar beets. l understand that an
analysis Of the beets produced in this
vicinity shows 3h per cent more
saccahrine matter than Is found In the
sugar beets raised in Colorado. Then
you have plenty Of water. Water is
what the beet grower must have and
it is not given him in ~suflcient guam
titles all the time In Colorado.
$50 the Burlington railroad prob
ably figured wisely when it reached
the conclusion that it was possible to
persuade some Of the beet growers Of
Colorado to migrate to Montana.
Colorado. however, is not the only
place where the road is making an ef-
fort to procure settlers. Throughout
the central and eastern states the
Burlington railroad is advertising the
Big Horn basin and the Yellowstone
valley rs they have never been adver.
tised before. Not only are they having
literature descriptive Of the valley dis
tributed, but they r sending earn
filed with products from these valleys
through the central states and inter.
esting the farmers there In the posi-
bilities Of Montana and this section
as an agricultural producer.
These preparations on the part Of
the Burlington should insure consid'
cradle immigration to this section
when the low colonist rates become ef
fective. The colonists will come on
an investigation trip. but when they
are shown what can be done here
they will desire to stay. The posi-
bilities are too great to be passed up.

n announcing their candidacy. Sew
eral additional candidates have ap-
peared in the past few days.
p. B. Camp, q prominent real estate
man, has been urged BY his friends as
a candidate for the nomination for
state representative. Mr.. Camp was
once elected county treasurer and
stands very high in the ranks Of the
party. He seems rather reluctant,
however, about accepting the nomina-
ton, should 1t be rendered him. The
other business man mentioned for the
place is 3. B. Connolly, a leading Re
publican and we'll known manufactu-
rer's agent. Either would make an ex-
cellent candidate, but Mr.. Connolly al
SO seems reluctant about accepting
the nomination.
G. H. Harris, one time county attor-
ney, has been announced as a candi-
date for the position. making three at
torneys in the race William Gallagher
and Harry u. Wilson, the present In

Jesse c. Joy, Of Laurel and H. NJ.
Brayton, a well known real estate and
insurance man, who is q pioneer Of
Billings. Mr.. Jones vas at one time

er and alderman from the Third ward,
Frank Church. a well known business
man; c. w. Forester, formerly In the

ter, and Thad G. Pound Of Park City
seem close contestants in the race for
the sheriff's nomination.
The strength Of F. p. Williams. who
was announced as q candidate for
county clerk last Saturday, Is one OF
the surprising developments Of the
pre-convention talk. He seems to be
making = close race against Bruce
Renwick and H. B. Miller, the other
candidates. Mr.. Williams and Mr.,
Renwick are deputies In the county
clerks once. while Mr.. Miller is dep
uty county treasurer.
Mrs. Sara Morse and Mrs. Ella G.
