COMMISSIONERS AT GAP
Railroad Commissioners Look Over the
Connections Between Two
Roads.

The railroad commissioners came
last week and went to Judith Gap to
look over the junction proposition be-
tween the two roaGS. The Milwau-
kee and Billings & Northern roads do
not connect at Judith Gap and this
has been matter of inconvenience
to all passengers. The difficulty was
with the result that an investigation
has been made.
The Judith Gap Jaurnal say of the
commissioners visit
Tuesday forenoon the railroad COM
missioners came in from Helena in
company with the division superin-
tendent of the Milwaukee and re-
mained until the afternoon train for
Harlowton.
The express purpose of the visit
was to view the proposition of rail
connection between the Milwaukee
and Great Northern in this city. AS
is known, only about 200 feet of space
lies between the two tracks and a
connection of the rails can be easily
and inexpensively made. Although
the commissioners would not commit
themselves, the general conversation
would indicate that they would order
connection to be made at once.
Their future action in the premises
was further emphasized by their re-
fusal to make the trip to Cushman,
where they were scheduled to go to
look over the proposition of making
connection between these two reads
at that point. The fact that they re-
turned to Helena would indicate that
they were satisfied of the connection
here and would abandon the other
project. AS a matter of fact, il is
almost physical impossibility to
make the connection at Clshman.
While here they also took up the
matter of crossing over the Great
Northern tracks near the milwaukee,
depot, and said they would order one
put I'm at once.
The superintendent informed the
local Milwaukee agent that the Ju
dith Gap signs for the depot would bt
sent to replace those of Ubet.

Revival at Mud Creek Church

A two weeks meeting con-
Quoted by Rev. C. d. Cole has
just come to a close, and when
we look back and survey the re-
suits we must say that it was a
great and glorious meeting:
The power of God was mani
fest: from the very first service
and continued throughout the
entire meeting.
There were more than fifty
conversions in all. Forty-one
were admitted to the church by
baptism, two by letter. Many
back sliders reclaimed, land the
whole church was much revived,
The large crowds that attended
every service showed plainly the
need of a much larger house of
worship, as there was not stand
ing room for the people and
many had to- go away for lack of
room. And it is to be hoped
that the church will take up this
work at once and enlarge the
church house, so no one will
have to go away for lack of room.
In all my life l never saw a
church more loyal to it's pastor
than the Mud Creek Church. It
seemed that they all stood ready
at all times to carry out any
suggestion their pastor made.
Long will we remember this
great meeting at Mud Greek
Church. w. A. WILLIAMS.
