NEW YORK, May q. - OF the
many strange ways which people
have found to make a living in New
York City, perhaps the strangest Is
that selected by Bill Smith. Besides
being a porter with the Federal Re-
serve Bank of New York, Bill is 4
champion duster, and confines his
activities to gold bullion.
The gold stored in the under
ground vaults of the bank must be
kept just as clean as the floors and
office furniture in other parts of the
building. Accordingly it is busted
whenever the vaults are opened. This
may be every month. every three
months, or even every six months
depending upon how fast Uncle Sam
spends his money.

The facts are that the Burlington
grade is not within 200 miles Of the
Idaho line, and is not pointing that
way. The end Of the track is this
side Of Tongue river in the north
part Of Sheridan county, Wyoming,
close to the Montana line, on les
nOrthwesterly course. Several engi-
neering parties are now at work on
the crossing Of the Yellowstone at
Billings, and on the line in that vi

recently incorporated IN Butte to Gov
er the distance from Butte to the
mouth Of Sixteen Mile, with a branch
from the Jefferson valley to Boze-
man, and other branches up the Ruby
and the BeaveThead valleys, with Dill
Ion as one Of the objective points.
When the line was located through
Sixteen Mile pass two years ago,
the men who knew where the freight
is produced concluded that Butte was
the objective point of the Burlington
in Montana, and no rumOr has shaken
that conviction, which is confirmed
by the by the present situation. The

while the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern have 116 feet to the

and the latter has 116 feet to the

The Burlington viii cross the Rockies

railroad in America to get as far

matter Of locating the Institution.
Governor Richards made a few re-
marks, and Colonel Bradshaw, as
chairman Of the citizens committee
on sites, reported that several prop
OsitiOns from property owners were
ready to be made to the board. Tues
day the members Of the board went
out to Fort Ellis and also examined
the poor farm and other sites.
At a meeting Of the board the same
day, Governor Richards announced as
local executive board Of the agricul-
tural college the following:
Walter Cooper, for two years; E..
H. Talcott, Livingston, and George
Kinkel, Jr., for three years; L. S.
Wilson for four years. and Peter
Koch for five years.
After spending Tuesday visiting
the different sites, the board unani-
mously decided on a location for the
college buildings. The citizens raised
sufficient money to purchase about
20 acres Of ground, consisting of six
blocks in Capital Hill addition. The
board also secured, but the efforts
and h~berality of the citizens, 80 acres
Of the poor farm adjoining, and the
citizens agreed to furnish 80 acres
additional and adjoining the property
already secured, within n year.
The institution has as a gift from
the citizens, 100 acres at the start
and within one year will have 1876
acres. The land secured and to be Sc
cured is all valuable property, and il
is absolutely donated to the state!
The site is a little over half a mil,

A NEW GRAIN ELEVATOR.
A Strong Move For Such An Enter.
prise on Foot

A strong move is on foot which, if
carried out, will result in the building
Of another large grain elevator in
Bozeman. Several of the city's most
prominent business men have become
interested in the matter and a COM
pany is likely to be formed for the
purpose of buying grain and farm
produce Of all kinds.
The enterprise is in excellent hands.
Il is thought that the elevator would
not only be a profitable institution,
but that it would tend to bring more
farmers to Bozeman. It is possible
that outside capital may be used, to
some extent, in the business, which
win probably be conducted on a CO.
operative basis.

The Burlington Railroad Ia Coming
This Way Soon.

The Avant Courier has just come

railroad news. The information is
from a thoroughly reliable source
and will prove Of much interest both
IN Bozeman and elsewhere through

The progress Of the Burlington and
Missouri railroad, and its possible

sources of much speculation through
out the Northwest. A few years ago
its preliminary surveys were run
through central Wyoming and in a
northwesterly direction across Idaho
and Washington to Puget Sound,
crossing the Cascade mountains al
Matches Pass. Then the directors
seemed to become favOrably i'm
pressed by the great development Of
mineral and ether wealth in Mon,

Horn Southern route, on account o.
its right Of way through the Grow
