lecture that has risen respecting the
on going of the 500 from Plaza was
set 1t rest by the directors OF the road
offlcially filing with the secretary of
state its intentions to extend. Both
the Plaza and Flaxton branches are to
be extended
The intentions say the Flaxton
branch will be pushed into Montana,
but the western terminus OF the Plaza
branch is fixed at the east bank. of the
Yellowstone river. This would seem
to convey a disappointment that the
road is not to go on to Spokane, MAX
ing this their coast line, but whatever
may be promulgated at this time the
roads goal is Spokane and the Puget

Jamestown. NJ. D., Aug. 28.-Road-
master Fuller, OF the Fargo division
OF the Northern Pacific was a James
town visitor with his face bandaged

he sprained one ankle. Still more
recently while crossing the Great
Northern tracks his gasoline speeder

for smuggled goods.
Mr.. Foulkes said that in the major
ity of cases where smuggling was de-
tected the tips were given the agents
by business competitors who could not
compete against the members of the
ring.
The system used here In cases
where the smuggling is wholesale is
that of a private invoice covering the
real cost while the company's books
