Berlin, arrested on a charge OF having
falsely issued an American passport to
an EnglishmGn who left for England.
The administration is expected to dc

MORE 500 TALK.

Chas. l.. Dingman, who travels for
the George l.. Newell wholesale
house OF Minneapolis, brought a big
bunch of new railroad dope TO OPP
helm last week. Mr. Dingman said
that in a long conversation with
the head of the house recently he
learned that Mr.. Newell expects to
pur on two or three more traveling
lAen to cover Montana territory next
year. He asked the reason for the
addition to the sales force and Mr..
Newell informed him that the 500
line would build both Whitelail-C Up
helm and the Plaza cxtentions next
year. Mr.. Newell is a stakeholder
in the 500 Line and close friend
of President Pennington, and his
company always furnishes supplies
for 500 construction camps, so he
doubtless knows whereof he speaks.
to Mr.. Dingman, the
Whitehall branch, which is to be-
come the main trans continental
line of the 500, eventually, is to be
the coming year to a point
west of Malta, where the Plaza ex-
tension, which runs west along the
will join it. This is the
most definite piece of railroad news
the north country has heard this
year, and is almost as worthy of
credence as if it came from the 500
officials themselves.--O pheim Opt
