GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY SUR
vEyS BRANCH ROAD INTO ROUNDUP
CORPS OF SURVEYORS NOW ENGAGED MAKING PRELIMINARY
SURVEY FOR BRANCH RoAoNTo ROUNDUP FROM POINT ON
BILLINGS NORTHERN SOUTH OF JUDITH cAP-APPAReNr
OBJECT IS TO TAP ROUNDUP FIELD

Farmers living in the country north
west of Roundup this week brought to
town the news that corps of Great
Northern surveyors is engaged in that
section on preliminary survey which
is headed direct to Roundup. The
work of the surveyors is marked by
great secrecy and it was not known
what road they represented until some
boxes We're seen with the letters G.
N. painted thereon. The chief engi-
neer in charge Of the party of survey
ors was in this city Monday and spent
considerable time in local law office
reading up the statutes on some point
OF law in connection with the survey.
He was not talkative, however, and
very little could be learned from him.
According to Information received
here from various sources the survey
is for branch road Of the Great
Northern from point on the Billings
4 Northern south of Judith Gap direct
to Roundup. The survey is said to
bring the road down DEVILS Gulch
north of the property OF the Roundup
Coal Mining Company, passing thru
the Brit Steen homestead and Park
addition and skirting the rim rocks in
the western part of the city. This
week the surveyors were encamped
near the Bricker ranch about twelve
miles northwest of here
1t has been known for some time
that the Great Northern had it's eye
on the Bull Mountain coal field. and
with the building of the new lines of
that road in this state which is now
under way. a new coal supply becomes
most imperative. Being closely con-
nected with the N. p. Railway. the
Great Northern would have very little
difficulty in securing coal lands in
this field. For while it was believed
that branch would be constructed
from the proposed Mondak- -Lewistown
cutoff OF the Great Northern into the
Carpenter creek coal fields east Of
here, but as the business of Roundup
Is Of considerable Importance and mag.
ntude it is cOnjectured that the Off
cials of that road decided this would be
the most practical point to touch.
1t is not known whether the line
will stop here or whether 1t Is to be
a loop connecting with the Mondak-
Lewistown cutoff at some point east
of here. Should the preliminary sur
vey be found feasible and the
branch constructed it will mean much
to Roundup, as several new mines
would no doubt be opened up. 1t would
also place the vast territory west Of
here in close touch with Roundup.

The matter of securing a physical
connection \ etween the Milwaukee
and Burlington roads at Lavina was
indefinitely put off when the district
court at Great Falls last week allowed
demurrer filed by Attorney Mathews
for the Milwaukee road. The demurr-
er of the railroad company based on
the ground that the complaint of the
railroad commissioners was too indefi-
mite.
The matter of securing the connec-
ton Of the two roads was taken up by
the Commercial Club of Lavina, and
the railroad commissioners finally is
sued complaint against the two
roads.
A new complaint will now have to
be filed by the railroad commissioners,
or an appeal taken over the action Of
the district court at Great Falls in find.
ing the complaint defective.

THIS STATE TO
LEAD THEM ALL
SAYS PROFESSOR ATKINSON, Ac.
RONoMisT FROM BOHEMIAN
COLLEGE.
Produced Much Flax
The People Are Just Beginning to Ap-
preciate the Enormity Of the Pro.
ductiveness Of the Soil Of the Trea.
sure state.

''The people are just beginning to
realize and appreciate the many and
undreamed of uses of the unbeatable
soils Of Montana" says Professor At
kinson, the agronomist of the Bozeman
agricultural college. He tells how and
why the soils are unbeatable.
Professor Atkinson has taught ag.
ronomy in New York. Iowa and other
states and when he says this state is
better fitted for the dry land farmer.
the stockman, and the truck grower.
he speaks with the authority born Of
experience.
He says that in the eastern part of
the state, the flax crop has been the
biggest ever raised in the state, there
is greater acreage and larger yield
per acre. Between eight and nine mil
lion bushels of this crop have been
harvested this year in Montana.
Some Of the many reasons for this
unprecedented productivity was due to
the sale of railroad lands at prices
which permitted the settler to invest
a good amount in seed, and then this
good fortune was followed by season
which helped him in every way.
MIR. Atkinson says that although
Montana is not known as corn state.
a variety Of that plant which Is known
as the Northwestern Dent, will mako
it one Of the leading corn states.
This corn will grow in non.irrigated
soil. and there will mature in sixty or
ninety days. This plant will also take
the place Of the summer fallow.
With corn and alfalfa as Montana's
chief products, which will one day be
the case, more cattle will be raised on
the farms in this state than was the
case in the days of the big herds and
the open range. This may be account.
ed for BY the ..act that each small farm
er will have a small bunch Of cattle
always in good condition and always
marketable.
With the production Of more alfalfa
the dairying industry will grow.
OF the fall crops which have been
exceptional this year was Durum wheat
a dry land crop. Oats, one of Mon.
tana's staples. was also in the lead at
all big land shows In the East.
