JAWBONE RAILROAD
TO Be REBUILT
JUDITH BASIN STAR SAYS Or
DERS ARE OUT TO CON-
MENcE WORK.

According to the Judith Basin Star
the old Jawbone railroad will be re-
built at once. The account follows:
Orders have been received In Lew
istown for the rebuilding of the Lew
istown- Hnrlewton line. That the
Milwaukee will expend large sums OF
money In this vicinity Is assured by
this initial move on the part of the
road II IL expected that close on the
heels of the announcement that the old
Montana line will be rebuilt will come
the announcement of new eonstrne-
tion work from this city to Hilger
Roy and Grass Range, says the Lew
istown Daily News.
When the Milwaukee officials were
In the city last week 1t was currently
reported that the new line between
Lewistown and Harowton would be
authorized. The official announcement
coming now to the effect that the work
liz to be started without delay, and
that besides the cost Of the steel rails,
$1,000 per mile for 'balasting, etc, has
been allowed, Is cheering news. The
line Is 65 miles In length. 1t will be
put in first class shape all along
The work win occupy several months,
and large force of men will be put
to work on 1t.
As fast as the present steel Is taken
up the heavy steel will be put down.
II Is not thought that passenger or
freight traffic will be seriously inter-
ferred with. as new steel will go down
as fast as the other Is taken up,
1t Is surmised that the steel which

road will be used on the branch lines
out of this city. The steel is heavy
enough for this purpose. 1t IL known
that the steel on the old Montana Is
some of the best that has ever been
used In the west, there not having

That this steel will be used and laid
In another direction out of Lewistown
on a new branch line Is generally
conceded. The move made In rebuild
Ing the Harlowton line Is really the
first move In the building of the
branch lines.
1t Is considered wise move on the
part OF the road TO rebuild the present
line. The shipments of wheat, stock,
etc, that viii be made out of Lewis
town and the Judith Basin country
will be heavier this year than ever be-
