PLANS .0F c. NJ
FOR NEXT YEAR
CHIEF ENGINEER HooELAND AND
RESIDENT ENGINEER HERvN
CONFIRM REPORTS.
MAKING PROGRESS FROM the EAST
Although the Democrat

Although the Democrat has
this week stated, upon high authority,
the plans of the Great Northern, as
affecting this section, for next year,
the confirmation of all this is pleas
ing and interesting. This confirma-
tion appeared in the Great Falls Tri-
bune yesterday in the following:
That the grading and tunnel work
on the New NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. cut.
off of the Great Northern out of Lew.
istown to a connection with the joint
line of the Milwaukee and Great
Northern near Grass Range will be
completed so as to permit of track
laying by June 1, 1917, is the expec-
tatiOn of the engineers.
Resident Engineer P. S. Hervin,
who returned yesterday from Lewis
town after a trip to that place in COM
pany with Chief Engineer A. H. Hoag-
land, states that the big tunnel on the
line, which will have a length Of 3,10O
feet, is about one-half completed. AS
large force as can be employed is
engaged on the work.
The second tunnel, having a length
of 900 feet, is about one-third done,
while considerable of the grading
work for other portions of the line
has been practically completed and
progress is being made on other parts.
1t is the belief that all this work will
be finished by June so as to permit
of the laying of track over that por-
ton of the line.
The Milwaukee has practically com.
pletcd the grading of it's line from
Grass Range on east to Winnett,
which will be used jointly by the two
railways. Track laying will probably
be commenced next spring. From Win
nett to the Musselshell river the line
is to be built by the Great Northern
and shared with the Milwaukee. A
Great Northern locating party is at
present engaged in locating the route
for this portion of the line. 1t is
not known when construction work
will be started.
Working from the east that portion
of the line has already been com.
pleted and is under operation as far
west as Lambert Richland county,
Montana, and as far east as Watford
City, Mckenzie county, North Dakota.
This line was built south from juno
ton with the Great Northern main
line at Snowden, distance of 14.3
miles to Fairyiew, and then east,
crossing the state line to Watford
City, total length of 50.6 miles. From
Fairview the line was built west
through Richland county distance
of 364 miles to Lambert, giving a to-
tai east and west line Of 72.7 miles.
All Of this line has been under Op'
GRAFTON for year or two. Work has
been in progress all this year upon
an extension from Lambert westward
through Richland county and down to
Rtchey, in Dawson county, a distance
of about rs miles. Track was laid into
Richey on November 20 and that por-
tion of the line is being operated to
a certain degree under construction
forces. 1t is possible that further
extension will be made next year to
Circle, Dawson county, between As
and SO miles further west.
This leaves between ITO and 120
miles of railroad to be constructed
between Circle and the Musselshell
river before the east and west lines
can be connected.

URIC ACID IN MEAT
BRINGS RHEUMATISM
Says a little Salts in water
may save you from
dread attack.

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than to
cure, states a well-known authority.
We are advised to dress warmly; keep
the feet dry; avoid EXPOSURE eat less
meat but drink plenty of good water.
Rheumatism is a direct result of eat
ing too much meat and other rich foods
that produce uric acid. which is alb
sorbed into the blood. 1t is the flnc-
ton OF the kidneys to filter this acid
urine; the pores of the skin are also a
means of freeing the blood of this inn
purity. In damp and chilly cold wealth
er the skin pores are closed, thus fore
ing the kidneys to do double work; they
become weak and sluggish and fail to
eliminate the uric acid, which keeps ac-
cumulating and circulating through the
system. eventually settling in the joints
ness and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism get
from any pharmacy about four ounces
of Jad Salts: put tablespoonful in a
glass of water and drink before break
fast each morning for week. This is
said to eliminate uric acid by sumC-
lating the kidneys to normal action
thus Kidding the blood OF these impuri-
ties.
Jad Salts is inexpensive. harmless and
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon Juice, combined with lithia and Is
used with excellent results by thou
sands of folks who are subject to rheu-
matism. Here you have a pleasant ef-
fervescent lithia-water drink which
helps overcome uric acid and is bene-
ficial to your kidneys as welL-Advt.

STATE BANKS

lnere Is no material difference
between a state and a national
bank except in the one aspect,
mentioned in the last banking
talk, namely that state b anks do
not issue bank notes. While the
laws OF some states permit state
banks to issue their own bills, the
National Banking Act imposes a
tax of ten per cent. upon all such
issues, thereby making them un-
profitable.
The National Banking Act pro-
vides that every national bank
shall have the word National"
in it's title, the only exceptions
being three banks, one in New
York, one in Philadelphia, and
one in Pittsburgh, which are al
lowed to use their old name with
the initials IN. B. A." National
Banking Association in their tit
les. Therefore the bank that
does not have the word Nation
al" in its title is a state bank. BY
that token you may distinguish
between the two.
State banks are more numerous
than national banks by nearly
four to one, the reason being that
in some states smaller capital is
allowed for state institutions than

HENRIETTE CREAMERY
DESTROYED BY FIRE

Early Wednesday morning fire.
which originated in the boiler
room of the Henriette creamery,
completely destroyed the build
ing and contents. A large ice
house on the north end of the
plant was also destroyed.
The fire was discovered about
one o'clock and assistance hur-
riedly called. The fire had such
a start that little could be done
to check it. Burning boards
were being blown as far as two
blocks into the business part of
town and after a hurried consul
tation it was decided to blow up
the main building with dynamite.
This was done and in less time
than it takes to tell that the
building was in ruins. Aside
from the ice house no other
structures were destroyed.
The loss is estimated at about
So, 800, with $1,000 insurance.
This leaves the company in good
shape considering everything and
they will be able to build a new
structure in the spring if present
plans materialize.
The shock of the explosion
broke the windows in one small
house near the creamery, but this
was a trife when compared with
what might have been, had the
fire gotten headway. Pine Coun-
ty pine City, Pioneer.
