MILWAUKEE TELLS
EXTENSION A
GARFIELD, INCOME COUNTIES
GOALS OF THREE
RAILWAYS
Branch Lines Announced by Great
Northern and Northern Pacific are
Protested by st. Paul Road as
Paralleling It's Proposed Routes

Garfield and McCone counties, which
now have no railroads, are the goals of
three. the state railroad commission Is
advised. Plans for extensions of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific Into
southern McCone county were announced
some months ago.
Protesting to the interstate
commission against permission to construct
these projects the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul railway outlines its own plans
for extensions In that section and presents
q map showing surveys Of three roads
paralleling each other from Milestone, Mos
by and Weede, just east of Winnett, to
Sidney, Manrock and Riverside.
Milwaukee, Routes
Its own project, the map shows, begins
at Weeds, runs northeast to McTwiggan
where it branches, running north to Anad,
east to Jordan and south to C%ohagan,
where it is Joined by the branch from
in Garfield county the line again divides,
one branch dropping south to Saugus, near
Terry, on the main line, the other running
northeast to Riverside, about half a mile
east of the west boundary of Richland
county, through Brockway, Redwater and
Paxton.
1t outlines the Great Northern's route as
starting at Mosby, near Weeds, running
east and north to Manrock in Richland coun-
ty through McTwiggan, Edwards, Anad,
Jordan, near Keplerville, through Van Nor
man, Brockway, Circle, Paxton and Axtell.
The Northern Pacific's plans, the map
indicates, would run lines from Milestone
on the eastern border of Musselshell county,
in a northeasterly direction to Sidney,
Richland county, with branches dropping
off at Watson Flats to near Terry and on
along the east bank of the Yellowstone to
Glendive and at a point a couple of miles
beyond. Brockway dropping down to Glen
dive. Its line would touch Burnelda, Co
hagen, Watson Flats, Brockway, Redwater
and Lambert.
The extensions roughly estimate 40 miles
for the Milwaukee, % for the Great North
ern and 81 for the Northern Pacific In
this section.

Yellow pine stands surrounding mesas
on many buttes In eastern Montana are
slowly closing in on these grass tracts.
How long these grazing tracts can sur
vive against the onslaught of these forest
monarchs the boring operation will de-
termine.
Heretofore, foresters, to determine the
age Of a tree or to study it's growth,
would fell the tree and count the growth
rings. Now a new tool, Know as an Sin
crement borer" Is used. These now are in
the hands of members of the experiment
station staff, and the heads Of %silvicul-
ture, forest management and fire depart
ments Of the forest service, in Missoula.
The Increment borer" consists Of a
polished steel tube of any required length.
one end terminating in an auger point, the
other In a cross handle by which it may
be turned, and OF a slender, half-round
hollow shovel as long as the tube and end
ing in a knoll by which Ii may be manip-
ulated. The auger point is open at the
end and has a knife edge.
