Morris tribune., 1909-01-09

We are now planning to furnish all
the people of Stevens county with
-four and to do this we are making
wholesale prices to all. New Gold
-four under our new process is the
whitest, cleanest and strongest -four
there is on the market. A loaf of
bread made from it shows rich, very
slightly creamy color, of very large
volume, does not dry out and become
tasteless rapidly, and our best bread
makers all claim it is the best. Our
price is $2.85 a hundred in small lots
and in quantities of 500 pounds and
over SITS a cwt. You need not pay
over these prices to buy the best -four
made in Minnesota. If more than
these prices are asked, call the mill
and we will furnish any quantity
wanted, guarantee every sack and de-
liver any quantity wanted to any
house in Morris at these prices. We
shall be pleased to send a baking
sample to be tested on application.
Use our New Gold once and we viii
hold your trade afterward.

NEW LINE TO PARK
Survey Is Being Made and Pros
poets Bright for Construction
This Summer.

There is likelihood that the road
will be completed to Melville this
summer. The plan is to build thru
Melville and Big Timber to Cook City
and thus get an opening into the
Yellowstone National Park
The ilwaukee company favor the
scheme and are lending all possible
aid to further it. 1t is thought by a
great many that after the road has
been completed, the Milwaukee COM
pany will take it over, but until that
time the officials of the road will Of
fer every inducement to help the in
dependent concern. The Earrings,
II. Spencer and r. M. Calkins are
among those who are interested. Be-
sides this support, the promoters
have some strong eastern connections,
that are back of the project.
The new line will open up very
fertile region between here and Big
Timber. 1t will also stamp Harlow
ton as the railroad center of this sec
tion, and induce more travel over the
Chicago, Milwaukee and Puget Sound,
and the vast region to the south will
settle up with greater rapidity and
the major portion will be tributary
to HarlOwtOn.

There have been a great many ru-
mors of railroad building this sum-
mer in different parts of Montana,
but none has greater possibility OF
working out in fact than the proposed
line from Harlowton through Mel
Vile and Big Timber to Cook City.
A gang of surveyors, with engineer
Criss of the Milwaukee at the head,
are now working on survey from
Harlowton to Melville. There is con.
siderable wealth and executive ability
behind the project which makes the
prospece particularly bright.
Chief among the promoters are the
Van Cleves, the wealthy ranch own
ers of Melville. 1t has been the plan
of these people for some time to build
a line from Harlowton to Melville.
Mrs. Van Cleve, who is splendid
business woman, in recent visit to
town stated that the line was
certainty, that provision had been
made for capitalizing the scheme,
and at the right-of-way had also
been cinched. She also stated that
the Glass Brothers, who are big
rancners between Melville and Big
Timber are interested in the road
and are pushing it with energy.

BUYS LARGE TRACT
Milwaukee Buys Landin Sweet Grass
County-Ten Miles East
of Harlowton.

The 1000 acre ranch belonging to
E. o. Clark and J. w. Bailey known
as the James Anderson ranch has
been sold to the Milwaukee Land
Company. The ranch lies east OF
Melville about 10 miles. The consid-
Grafton was approximately S35, 10000.
The Anderson ranch is located
southeast of Harlowton and about
ten miles east of Melville on the
Musselshell slope of the divide, and
is one of the best stock ranches in
the country. A very large percentage
of the ranch is tillable, and although
there is very little irrigated land on
it nevertheless it is we'll adapted to
dry farming methods.
There is some conjecture as to the
object of this purchase by the rail-
road company. Some believe the
deal has some bearing on the propos-
ed line to the Park from Harlowton.
Many are of the opinion that the
Milwaukee people are behind the new
road.
It is probable that the Milwaukee
Land Company will pursue the policy
in reference to this tract that it is in
regard to others, in that the land
will be divided into small farms and

along the street in front of his shop.
If all the trees planted this year ma
ture, the money will have been well
spent as nothing adds so much beauty

Hold Hearing In Helena.

1t is stated in the Gazette that the
board of railroad commissioners will
hold hearing in Helena in the near
future on the question of connec-
tion between the st. Paul and the
Billings n Northern at some point in
Fergus county, undoubtedly at Ju-
dith Gap. This matter was up be-
fore the commission earlier in the
year and it seemed that then the
commission had no power, according
to an opinion of Attorney General
Galen, to force connection of the
two roads. 1t is quite probable that
the late legislature has given the
commission new powers.
