Important Happenings OF the
Week Briefly Told.
LIKELY TWO LINES.
Great Northern and Milwaukee are
Headed for Teton County.

Great Falls.-Railroad building in
this section has been going forward
with great activity and by next spring
at least two and perhaps three con-
tracts will be let for the construction
of lines. The Great Northern and the
Milwaukee companies have been the
most active.
Chouteau, county seat of Teton
county and in one of the best wheat
sections of the northwest, which to
the present has been without railroad
facilities, is to have two lines. The
Milwaukee has secured it's franchise
from the Choteau city council to pass
over one of the most important
streets OF the city. In consideration
of this grant, it has promised the peo-
pile of Choteau that IL will have trains
running into the city within two
years. The company will have about
sixty-five miles of road to build to get
TO Choteau, starting from this city.
This line is thought by some to be in
tended for main line to the coast in
part.
, Coincidentally with the Milwaukee's
activity at Choteau, the Great North

Tection of the Teton county seat The
company has started suits to condemn
