articles of incorporation were adopted
and duly signed. The capital stock

In the neighborhood of 1900 shares
have already been subscribed for. and
it is believed that the stock will be
sold as rapidly as money is needed for
the construction of the road and its
equipment
The proposed route Of the road to be
built is about as follows: Beginning
within the city of Roundup thence
going westerly along the county road
and across the Musselshell river to Old
Roundup, and thence to the town of
Farrell and beyond said town. thence
southwest along a,d upon the Laslna
road tc the Klien Coai Mine. Also
a'onc the county road to the town OF
Davis |, is generally proposed to
take in all the towns and coal camps
Of Musselshell county.
The franchise granted by the county
to several citizens OF Roundup OF an
easemen. over the caunty loau and
county bridge for the use of the rail-
way company will be assigned to the
Roundup Inter.Urban Railway Com.
pany. In the near future the company
y i'll apply for franchise and easement
over and upon the streets OF Roundup
for the use of railway purposes. The
granting of this will have to be sub

city of Roundup. but ,here is nc doubt
Of the result as every we'll wisher of

CAN NEVER ovERTAKE BRITAIN
Navy Necessity to England, but Lux
ury to Germany, Says Churchill.

Glasgow, Feb. 9.-Wlnston Spencer
Churchill, First Lord OF the Admiralty, in
the course Of a speech delivered here to-
day painted a roseate picture of the pre-
parcdness Of the British navy to meet all
eventualities. on the subject of German
and British sea rivalry he remarked that.
while naval power was necessary TO the ex-
istencc of Great Britain 1t was a luxury
for Germany.
Touching on the subject Of the prospoc-
tive naval increases I'm the two countries.
the First Lord said Great Britain had the
situation we'll i'm hand there being no
chance whatever Of her being overtaken in
naval strength. Whatever happened abroad.
there would be no whining in the British
Isles. he said, no signals of distress would
be hoisted and there would be no cries for
help. All the money. all the ships and all
the men that were necessary could be sup
piled by Great Britain
Mr.. Churchill added that he would wei
come a retardatlon Of naval construction.
but IL there was to be an increase of naval
strength on the Continent IL would only
result in foreign powers being further out
distanced by the measures which the Brit
ish government was ready TO take-a policy

he no reduction in the retail price TO beno-
ft the consumer. Mr.. Lilley said that II
the proposed rates rent into effect the
company he represented would probab bly,
abandon it's factory in the United States

In almost every case the marked differ

mittee. English pen makers pay only
shillings where Americans pay dollars
said Mr.. Bartol.
Herman Wolf. OF New York. a manu-
facturer of steel wool. said that wages in
the United States were three times those
paid in Germany
