At Milwaukee headquarters in
Seattle on Saturday last, the bids for
the construction of the Milwaukee's
LeWistoWn-Great Falls line were

thereafter as the successful bidders
can assemble their outfits.
One of the conditions of the con-

eighteen miles of track, from Lewis
town to the Judith, this season. This
portion of the work is called for first
in order to furnish railroad transpor.
tation for the immense quantities OF
materials that will be required fol
the constructor of the four great
bridges between here and the Falls
Secure Offices.
All of the available offices in the
Mackey block were leased by the Mil
waukee last week for the engineer

NEW DIAMOND.
Base Ball Boys Secure Brooks Island
for Baseball Park.

Scissors" McKeen has closed ar
rangements for making Brooks island
into a ball park and expects soon TO
have the diamond in shape for play
ing. The island is we'll located for
this purpose, being block back from
Main street and, except at the en-
trance, surrounded by Spring creek.
It is intended to enclose the grounds
with a high board fence and on top
of that to place wire netting to pre-
vent the local Ty Cobbs from losing
the ball.
What has killed the national game
in Lewistown has been the inability
to get suitable grounds within walk
ing distance. The grounds at the fair
grounds are all right, except that the
distance from town preclues all hope
of a good attendance. The site on
Brooks island will insure large at
tendance and give the team the sup
port absolutely essential If Lewistown
is to be creditably represented on the
diamond this season.
