Application for permission to COM
plete a cross-state line extending 240
miles through central Montana and
involving an expenditure of approx
mately 8 ,000, 900 has been mailed to
the interstate commerce commission
by the Great Northern railway.
Plans for the development, which was
first proposed 20 years ago by the late
James j. Hill, called for a line connect
ing the present Great Northern branch
terminals at Richey and Lewistown.
From Richey a new line would be
built through Jordan and across the
MuSselshell river to Winnett, a distance
of 1875 miles.
To Use Milwaukee
At Winnett the proposed line would
connect with the terminals of the Mil
waukee road, and permission is sought
to use the Milwaukee road tracks from
this point to Grass Range, a distance
of % miles. This is made possible by
a trackage contract entered into by
the two railroads in 1925, the applica-
ton points out.
From Grass Range to Lewistown, a
distance of 80 miles, the Great North
ern already has partly completed q
line.
The application states that the new
line would provide a second route from
all points on the Great Falls-Billings
and Great alls-Helena-Butte lines OF
the Great Northern through Lewistowr
to eastern points. The application
further points out that the line would
provide a more direct route to the
east and would serve a potentially rich
agricultural route along the route.
Means Battle
The Great Northern application
marks a step in the fight between this
road and the Northern Pacific for raj
rights in the central portion of east
ern Montana. The BATTLE-GROUND il
