TOWARD
A GREAT RAILROAD
BUILDING PROJECT

The first step toward the greatest
railroad construction project in Mon
tana since the Milwaukee built its
Puget Sound extension was taken
Saturday, when the Chicago, Milwau-
kee and St. Paul field at Winnett a
transfer of its right Of way "east from
Winnett" to the Montana Eastern
Railway company, subsidiary.
This subsidiary was formed to con-
struct' the proposed branch line from
Saugus to Winnett. This branch will be
a unit Of the Milwaukee's second main
line across the state, making this road
the first transcontinental road to have
parallel systems across the state.
From Saugus to Bonner.
The new parallel line will extend
stretches of track from Winnett to
Bonner in Missoula county. The
stretches of track from Winnett to
Lewistown and Great Falls has been
in operation for several years. With
the completion of the Saugus- -Winnett
unit more than half of the long g-await-
ed cutoff will have been completed.
Taps Rich Jordan Valley.
The Saugus- Winnett branch will tap
the rich Jordan river valley. 1t will
go through Meredith, Rock Springs,
Maudlin and Vanstel.
From Great Falls westward anoth-
err unit will connect with the Clear
water branch, which now terminates
at Sunset, northeast of Bonner.
These projected lines will give the
Milwaukee two lines across two-thirds
Of the state. They will tap some of
the richest farming and numbering
sections of the northwest.
New Line in Gallatin.
Next month the Milwaukee will be-
gin construction of 35 miles of new
1
| line from Three Forks to Salesville
in Gallatin county. This improvement
is made in connection with the Mil
waukee's bus lines up the west Gala
tin canyon to west Yellowstone. Last
season the busses made connections
with the trains at Three Forks, but
this season thee will take passengers
from Salesville to the park.
At the Salesville terminal one Of
the most attractive railway stations
in the state will be built, with suffic.
lent trackage to accommodate many
cars.
The new work in the Gallatin will
cost the Milwaukee about 100000.

of the physician that his friend would

bedside of the injured man, holding

THE PILGRIM

After the shades of evening were
drawn over this city last Tuesday; af-
ter the fiery streaks that followed the
wheels of the sun chariot had been
drawn behind the western mountains,
and Night had woven the long shad-
ows of evening into the sabal robe
with which she drapes the world, and
the silver moon was gently pushing
aside the straying clouds that she
might see a schoolboy lay asleep. He
was dreaming the dreams of youth but
he was pilgrim on journey to a
far, far country.
For days he had waged battle with
Death. Skilled physicians and nurs-
es stood by his bedside lending every
assistance known to science; loving
hands smoothed his pillow, loving
hearts bled for him and fervent pray
ers went up in his behalf as heavy
as mists that rise from an Autumn
sea, yet for him to live was not writ
ten on the scroll of the immutab.e.
Apprehension was imprinted on ev-
cry anxious brow and in the early
evening the reports from his bedside
were Of hopeful augury; but with the
approach of morning came the ter
rible reality of death, for during the
night the forces Of dissolution per-
ceived a new opportunity for renew
ed attack. They laid siege to his life
they stormed the citadel of lis heart
and at Ais o'clock yesterday mornlng
he heard a trumpet that drowned out
all the melodies of this world and the
soul of the schoolboy went forth x

Yes, Sylvanus Littlefield is dead
For purposes which are beyond ou
ken-to which we can only bow IN re
spectful deference-the Grim Reape
had been ordered to garner in the sou
of one who was idolized BY his own
honored by his teachers and school
mates and loved by all who knew him
But-of the justice we may no
judge.
It is not so sad for one so young a
not to have tasted the joys OF lie Q
one who has lived the fullness 0
years to die, but to meet death a
nineteen. All! That is terrible, the
there is nothing left to us, who re

row and sin attains the beyohd, a
