A report has been current for sew

Plans of the Milwaukee.
The report that the Milwaukee in
tends to build through Lewistown
does not down although those who
are best in position to give some
definite information on the subject
are keeping very mum. The latest
rumor 'has this road leaving the pres
ent main line at Terry, east of Miles
City, and following straight line to
Lewistown, passing across Fergus
county via the Mcdonald creek route.
Another r11mor (and while we are at
it we might as well give the entire
bunch) has it that the Milwaukee will
budld a branch from Lewistown north
ward into an enormous territory OF
agricultural land north and northwest
of Kendall A large number of home
stead filings have been made during
the past six months on the lands in
that section of the county and there
is MO doubt but that a Line of railroad
would put one thousand people on the
great Arrow creek and other smaller
benches out there within twelve
months of its completion. The ad-
vantages to Lewistown OF such an
enterprise could hardly be calculated

Thousands of People in Eastern Cities
Join Pledge to Abstain for Stated
Periods.
MAY HAVE AN Effect
Packers, However. Say That the
Price Will Be Advanced Rather
Than Lowered in the Future.

The meat boycott has not yet
reached Lewistown but what was at
first considered merely another freak
idea is catching on in real earnest in
scores of the larger cities Of the east.
Price Is Too High.
Never before in the history Oi this
country, under normal conditions,
have choice cuts commanded such
prices as just now. The cause Of the
high price has been source of bitter
contention but be that as it may, the
millions of meat eaters are most con-
cerned with the effects. The local re-
tailers say that it is the price charged
turn, say that he is paying the higher
turn, say that he is paying the higher
price to the stockman. The stockman
says that inasmuch as there is no com
bination among them to uphold prices,
they cannot be held responsible for
high prices for they always have to ac-
cept just what the packers offer.
Eat Cheaper Meats.
Fuel has been added to the flame by
the statement Of Harold Swift, one OF
the head members of the packing trust,
that the people should be educated
to order cheaper cuts" MIR. Swift is
also authority for the statement that
while prices are high, they will 20

President Ripley, of the Santa Fe
railroad, blamcs the housewives of the
nation, saying that they are unneces-

meats

such delicacies as steaks, chops, roasts
and ribs is growing until hundreds OF
thousands are now finding 1,ourish-

beans and bread served without gravy.
The movement is being fostered by
laboring organizations and joined by
thousands who are not so affiliated.

BURNS night
AT GARNEILL
Annual Celebration of the Great Scot
tish Poets Birthday Will Be
Observed.
LOCAL PEOPLE There
Several Former Residents and Ad-
mirers of the Old Country Left
This Morning for Garneill.

Garneill is today the gathering place
for all of the Scots Of Fergus and
Meagher counties. Every former res
ident and descendent OF residents of
the highlands and the lowlands OF the
good old country who can possibly
get AWAY is out there ready to par
ticipate in the annual festivities
which mark celebration OF Bobby
Burns birthday According to word
to the Democrat from Bob Shell, the
largest crowd ever assembled in this
part of the state to pay honor to one
of the greatest poets who ever de-
lighted the world with words OF wis
dom and music will gather this eve
ming round the festive banquet table.
An Attractive Program.
A most attractive program has
been arranged for the occasion by the
loyal Scots who make Garneill their
home. David Hilger, of this city, will
act as toastmas ster and X. Won Tobel
will deliver the oration on Burns.
Mrs. r. G. Shell and Miss Nettie
Shell, of Garneill, both talented
musicians, are down for number of
instrumental and vocal solos while

the assemblage to enthusiasm with
martial strains from his bagpipes.

Almost a Certainly That Lewistowa
Will Be Center of Great Deal of
Activity During Year.
NOTHING ANNOUNCED
Those Who Really Know What Is to
Be Done Not Yet Taking Public
Into Their Confidence.

Just as railroads are the factor
which will most quickly vitalize any
ambitious town or city so are rumors
of new railroads the most interesting
sort of gossip which can be sent float
ing about. While it is not the policy
of this paper to pay any attention to
mere speculation in the treatment of
forthcoming, or possibly forthcoming
events, the questions pertaining to
new Lines OF railroads are of such keen
Importance that we give our readers
the benefit of all such reports if they
are based upon the least show of au-
thority.
Great Northern Rumors.
There Is a feeling among the busi-
ness men in this city which comes
from something more than mere as
sumption and is based upon some
thing more substantial than the simple
wish, that Lewistown is to be the OBJ
jective point of more than one piece
of railroad construction during the
next eighteen months. There is a
growing belief that both the Mil
waukee and Great Northern will tap
this city with through lines within
the time stated.
The Democrat is reliably informed
that the Great Northern now has n
large party OF surveyors working east
ward from Fort Buford, at the con-
fluence of the Yellowstone and Mis-
souri, rivers on the Montana-Dakota
border and that plans are now ma
tured for the construction OF a line
across the "Big Dry" country of east
ern Montana straight for junction
with the Billings-Northern near Phil
brook. Such line would open up a
tremendous territory containing mil
lions OF acres Of the finest agricultural
land in the state. Lewistown is di-
rectly in line with this proposed route.
