Only Part Of the Jawbone' Had Been Completed but
Timetable Was Going to Press, So Harlow Hurriedly
Drew Up Schedule and Named Towns Along the Line

Old-timers well remember the Cen
trail Montana railroad, usually called
The Jawbone," and know that it re-
ceived its nickname because of the pop
ular idea that the line was built with
promises instead of cash. This wa
hotly' denied by Richard Harlow, for
whom Harlowton was named, and one
Of the promoters of the railroad, who
said: 1.-THE contractor who agreed to
build the grade was willing to accept
the notes of the company secured by
bonds in lieu of cash. It was this con-
tract that gave me the reputation Of
building the road without money. There
was something over 49, 0O, 900 invested
In the road before it was completed
and only about 500, 900 of that amount,
or about 81 percent, was represented
by the notes given to the contractor"
The road was conceived in the sum-
mer of 1890 by Arthur Lombard, for
whom the Broadwater county station IS
named, and by Mr.. Harlow. Silver and
lead had been discovered i n the Castle
mountains but the ore was of too low
q grade to justify the long haul to the
Northern Pacific, and a cry arose for
q railroad between LewiStown and
Lombard. After many financial diff
culties and mishaps due to snow and
washouts, the road was extended to
Lewistown in 1908.
"One day after we had finished our
first section" Harlow once said. Il got
q telegram from a Northern Pacific Off

cabochon," in convex form, and highly
polished, to show to advantage the
beautiful colorings and markings.
In addition. to this exhibit, the Union
Bank and Trust Co. of Helena sent its
collection of gold nuggets, valued at
$15,O and obtained principally from

TELEVISION AT
 VATICAN CITY

Vatican City, Sept. 24.-(UP)- Pope Plus XI is planning a power ful television station here, 1t was learned today.
 Believing that the world should be given the opportunity to see not only the pontiff in person but also the outstanding church events, au- thoritative sources said that the pope had conferred with Guglielmo Marconi, inventor of radio, regard ing the feasibility of such station.
 Reports from the papal states technical experts, asked by the pope to study the possibility of erecting a transmitting television station, ad- vised against it. They pointed to the probable interference with the pres- ent radio station and the depend- ence necessary upon wire relays be- cause of the limited radius of such a station.
 In the face of these difficulties the pope decided to consult Marconi. Authoritative sources said Marconi told the pope his plan did not pre- sent unsurmountable difnculties and that after personal consideration he would report on is possibilities.

Hall who promised he would place the problem before the president-or one of his Wash ington aides. The athlete, one of Americas greatest Olympic Games performers, explained there were 250 Indians in Hollywood who made their living playing extra roles in pictures.
 Recently, however, the studios have been casting white men in the Indian parts, leaving the Indians without means of making living, Thorpe said. He thought perhaps the federal attorney could stop the studio practice of impersonating his people. Hall found TO infraction of federal law involved, but he believed the studios could be prevailed upon to let Indians play Indian roles.
