A dwelling that is quite unlike any

Rail road Building In Montana.

Mont ana during the present year
beat all the states in the union when
it comes to the number of miles of
railroad built, says the Butte Miner.
Gut of a total of 1924 miles of new
construction work 537 miles were built
IN this commonwealth.
n year was a poor one for rail
road extension, and the mileage in the
whole country is the Smallest since
1904. This condition is accounted for
by the panic, which made it difficult
for transportation companies that had
not already made financial provision
for undertaking such work to get the
necessary money.
The building in Montana was as
follows: Chicago, Milwaukee g. St.
Paul, 354 miles; Great Northern, be.
tween Arlington and Laurel, ISL
miles; Northern Pacific, St. Regis to
Paradise, 20 miles.
For several years past the great
percentage of new construction work
has been east Of the Mississippi river,
nut IN 1908 this condition was re.
versed, for out of the total of 3.214
miles OF new line laid, only 761 miles
were la Id east OF the Mississippi this
year.
The extension of the Milwaukee
from Butte west through this state
Will probably be credited to next
