Petitions Replied to By
Land Commission
er Cooper
Is Not in Favor Of Selling Rail-
road Lands at This Time Pro.
miscously-Will Sell Lands to
Actual Settlers However at Any
Time.

The petitions recently circulated
in this county addressed to the
Northern Pacific Railway Company
requesting that company to place
its lands on the market has brought
forth a reply from Thomas Cooper,
land commissioner. From Mr..
Cooper's letter it is learned that
the n. p. is not desirous ut this
time to place its holdings on the
market generally, believing that by
SO doing spectators with no in
tention of cultivation or improve
meftt would purchase it, thus leav-
ing things as they originally were.
1t is explained, however, that the
company is willing at any time to
dispose Of land to actual settlers
who will satisfy them that they will
occupy the land.
1t appears to US that this is
simply a ruse on the part of the
N. p. to hold their lands as long
as possible, or so long until the
actual settlers shall have increased
the value of their lands to fancy
figure. While it is probably true
that considerable land would fall
into the hands of speculators, it
must also be admitted that the
land would not remain idle long
after passing out of the hands of the
origional owners. 1t must also be
conceded that were these lands to
be placed in the hands of the
local real estate men, nine-tcnths
of it would be sold to actual
settlers.

w. S. Shaw last week sold the

that the figures if given out would
show substantial increase in the
value of Main street property and
would be a surprise to many.
The fact that Mr.. Morony, who

becoming interested in Roundup

KEGS Proposed Route to
the Park.

Bozeman, June 6.-There is
more trouble brewing between the
Northern Pacific and the Milwaukee
railroads. II. S. Buell., bozeman
capitalist, is today in st. Paul con-
sulting high officials Of the North
ern Pacific road, according to in
formation given out today, and it
is believed the object OF the con-
ference is to decide on a route for
a branch OF the Northern Pacific
which maypossiblyrun from Manhat-
tan up Cam creek, from there into
Spanish, and from there to the Yel-
lowstone National park. This, it
is believed, is to stall the efforts Of
the Milwaukee to get an opening
into the park by way of Gallatin
county. The Milwaukee has been
laying plans and has had surveying
parties out and 1t is thought one OF
the plans was to run a road up the
West Gallatin with an entrance to
the park north of Fort Yellowstone.
Quietly the Northern Pacific has
had its agents buy large tracts Of
land, embracing the available routes
and already it seems the Northern
Pacific has the Milwaukee check
mated The Milwaukee people are
giving out no information, but the
directors of the Gallatin Valley rail
way, branch Of the Milwaukee,
are to meet in Bozeman June q
and it is believed there will be
developments at this meeting.
