TRACKL YING ON THE MILWAUKEE About 107 Miles of Steef tot* rut Down Eastward From Harlowton-Laying Out the Yards -Rapid Progress Being Made on Billings & Northern. The work of grading for the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul and the Bill- ings & Northern has progressed so rapidly during the past few monthe that both roadbeds will soon be ready for the steel in both directions. The tunnels on the Billings & Northern between here and Great Falls will de- lay track laying in the Judith Basin for some time yet, but the steel will soon be going down in Cascade coun- ty, right up to the Fergus line. On the Milwaukee. On the Milwaukee road, 107 miles of steel will be laid eastward from Harlowton, and yards for storing the rails and other material are now be- ing laid out at a point between four and five miles from Harlowton, where the line strikes the Montana railroad. Wooden bridges are now being put In over the Musselshell, and later on these will be replaced by steel. At Lombard a spur will be reit in and yards are being laid out to store the steel for the bridge or trestle that is to be built over the river at that point. The line of the bridge takes off one corner of Billy Kee's cele- brated summer resort, and before a great while Lombard will be but a memory -and none too pleasant a memory at that It is likely that there will be no train Into Lewistown Monday. In running the grade along the mountain in Six- teen Mile canyon, It was intended at one place to put in a tunnel, but the formation has been found to be too soft to permit this, and it was there - ore decided to blast off the point of the mountain at that spot. The big charge Is to be exploded tomorrow, and the contractors may not be able to clear the track. Lombard to Butte. In Butte a few days ago. Chief En- gineer Penfield stated that construc- tion between Lombard and Butte was progressing most satisfactorily, and he announced that the grade between the two places would be completed In December, and considerable track laying will be finished by that time. By January the track will practically be completed betwewen those points. and Mr. Penfield states that trains will be running through Into Butte In January. To accomplish this result, 1,600 graders are at work between Lombard and Butte, gangs being lo- cated all along the line, which is 90 miles in length. A Big Pay Roll. \The pay roll on this division is be- tween $6,000 and $10,000 a day,\ said the engineer. \Four tunnels, ranging from SOO feet to half a mile in length, three steel viaducts from 100 to 160 feet high, and many cuts and fills are included In the work under construc- tion.\ The grading at present employs 300 teams beside the laborers and the number will be increased to 500 short- ly. The company finds labor -plentiful. but its policy is to employ all the la- bor possible and there is room for more men -find teamsters at $3 a day. \Forty per cent of the work has been completed, and the remainder is being accomplished at present at the rate of 10 per cent a month,\ Mr. Penfield said. \This is quite satisfac- tory.\ The first tunnel le about 16 miles from Butte. The big tunnel, half a mile long, located near the summit, is being excavated by the contracting firm of Bryant, McFadden & Nott. The nearest steel viaduct is about 14 miles from town. The Billings & Northern. More than $100,000 per month is be- ing paid to workmen and teamsters on the grade for the Billings & Noe them t railroad between Billings and Judith Gap, territory tributary to Bill- ings, according to the statement of M. E. Reed, in charge of the work on the new line from Laurel to Judith Gap, says the Billings Gazette. , Mr. Reed returned yesterday from a _trip along the right of way to Ju- dith Gap, the end of the first divis- ion. He says that more than 700 men and 300 teams are at work grading for the proposed line and they repre- sent a wage of more than $100,000 per month. Sir. Reed says that fully 50 per cent of the grading is complet- ed on the entire right of way and about 60 per cent of It on the first 100 miles. \In fact the work ham progressed far enough that we can see the lb. !eh,\ is the way he puts it.

FINAL DECISION IN ROCK CREEK BENCH LAND CASE The celebrated Rook creek bench land contest case, which was origin- ally tried in the local office nearly two years ago, has been finally de- cided, J. A. Garfield, 'last of the ri inteon, baying said last word on 3 € the controversy. The test was in- stituted by Alfred 0. (Leon against the desert entry of Jo W. Moore, a 160 acre tract in section 34, town- ship 14 north of ranee 16 east. The register and receiver of the local land office decided in favor of Robin- son on the ground that the entryman was not the owner of a water right to sufficient water for the Irrigation of the land, and held the entry for can- cellation. Moore took an appeal to the commission of the general land of- fice, who on Feb. 21 of hilt year sus- tained the ruling of th4cal °glee. holdingthe entry• to, ecellation. These rulings are now sustained by the secretary of the Interior, and his decision marks the end of the protract- ed litigation. Robinson also appealed from the decision refusing to ratite the costs, but this ruling is also sue- tained. Another paint raised by Moore, was that the contest had bees abated ,my the death of Robinson, there being no showing that there le anyone en- titled to continue the contest. This is overruled by the secretary. The decision holds that the evidence shows the entryman was not the own- er of a right to sufficient water to Ir- rigate the land and incidentally the secretary says \the weight of the evi- dence supports the charge that the tract Is not desert land within the meaning of the act of March 3, 1877.\ Continuing, the secretary says. \The witnesses appear to be divided Into two classes, one composed of homesteaders who are cultivating the land without Irrigation, and the other desert land entrymen who testify that the land will not produce renumera- Hy° agricultural crops without irriga- tion.\ Reference Is also made to the association lolown as the Farmers k Ranchtnen's Protective association of Moore, \which was organized for the purpose of discouraging contests and aiding claimants in defending against them. Witness J. B. Clarke testified that he had taken a great deal of in- terest in the organization and in rais- ing money to help defend the contest. This is merely mentioned to show the animus of witnesses and their in- terest in the case, which was apparent from the testimony of witnesses on both sides. The testimony of the wit- nesses introduced by contestant shows clearly that the land Is not of such character as 'will not, without Irri- gation, produce some agricultural crop.'\ Reference IS made to the tes- timony of Clyde Groves, whose tract corners with the land in contest, and who in 1903 raised between 37 and 38 bushels of wheat per acre on 30 acres; abont 100 bushels of potatoes to the acre, and between 25 and 26 Weibel& of oats; also to the testimony of John Gaston and C. L. Taylor. In conclusion, Secretary Garfield says: \II is apparent that the lands along the Rock creek bench will produce abundantly under irrigation, and if the productive value of the land in its natural condition is computed with its productive capacity under Irriga- tion, It tnIght in that sense be con- sidered that it would not be profitable to cultivate them without Irrigation. It is evident that many of the witnes- ses introduced by the claimant had this In view in testifying that the land was desert, because it was shown upon cross examination that there were homesteaders along the bencn who were cultivating their lands, without irrigation, that lay by the side of desert -land claims. \Upon consideration of the entire records the decision of your office holding the entry for cancellation is affirmed. \No sufficient reason appears for in- terfering with the discretion of your office and refusing to retsx the coot In the cam, and your decision is af- firmed as to that ruling also.\ ASK PRESIDENT GUNN TO MAKE CHANGE AT LOMBARD A petition is being circulated among the business men of Lewistown, ad- dressed to M. S. Gunn, of Helena. president of the Mentana railroad, asking him to bring about a change in the intolerable conditions now ex- isting at Lombard, and which are steadily growing worse. Since the day when this section was given railway connections with the outside world the train schedule has been such that all passengers for Lewistown and this county were compelled to re- main over night at Billy Keeai - hotel\ at Lombard, and the poor accomoda- Hone afforded were accepted without a murmur. At least one could get some sort of a room and bed and some kind of a meal. Lately, however, owing to the large number of workmen congre- gated at and around Lombard, it has been impossible, very frequently, for Passengers to secure any sort of sleeping aocornociations, and the fare put up by the Chinese landlord, who has 'maimed a fortune at his place, has steadily deteriated owing to tre rush of business and the limited fa - ditties of Mr. Kee. Within the past few days most a the passengers ar- riving from Helena and bound for this city were compelled to sit up all night. This is a hardship upon any one, and it is worse than that on women and children. It is stated on good authority that one night recently nearly 50 per- sons were compelled to walk around all night and kill time while waiting for the train for Lewistown to *tart. Every one knows that there is going to be a great increase In traffic to this section during the coming sum- mer, so, unless there Is a radical change, and that immediately, the worst is yet to come. All this Is giv- ing Lewistown a black eye right along, and the strange thing about it is the absolute indifference of those who might bring about a change. The in- difference of the esteemed Mr. Kee is not hard to understand, but it is rather surprising that the others should make no move towatds chang- ing the situation. The petition now in circulation Is being signed by every one to whom It is presented. It is brief and to the point, the conditions being set out in plain language. FIRE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL ELECTION At the annual meeting of the mem- bers of the Lewistown Volunteer Fire Department, William W. Watson was elected president, James Gillen secre- tary and A. L. d'Autremont, William Abel and John Slater trustees. John C. Bebb was, of course, re-elected chief of the department and Art. Baker, one of the moat popular mem- bers of the organization, was honored by being chosen as assistant chief. Lewistown now has one of the most thoroughly equipped and efficient vol- unteer departments in the state. and It has been greatly strengthened by the addition of Mr. Porter as a paid member. While able to discharge all of the ordinary duties of a fireman, Mr. Porter II a thorough electrician and will keep the alarm system in first class shape all the time. More than anything else, however. it is the spirit of the members and their pride in the organization that has brought the department lip to the high degree of efficiency it has at- tained. The bola are proud of the de- partment, and Lewistown is proud of them. This may interest You.

The movement to secure for Lewis- town a suitable park, which was really started last year by the civic club, took definite form Wednesday night, when a well attended meeting of the business men was held at the city hall to consider the matter. While it was all of a preliminary nature, it' did show conclusively that there Is a deep interest in the project, and that It has the approval of all. Mayor Jesse Pink - ley, called the meeting to order, and the object was stated by Judge E. K. Cheadle, who was chosen as chairman. The discussion that followed was gen- eral, and it developed that several sites were available. Mr. Tayer, for Game Warden Scott, of Helena, offer- ed the Olson tract of eight acres on Buckskin flat for $4,000. James Hop- kins said that his park on the \heights\ could be secured for a rea- sonable price, while Frank Day offer- ed 20 acres in his field for $10,000. Gov. Brooks discussed the whole sub- ject of a park In an interesting way, giving his views as to the considera- tions that should be kept in mind ln making •a selection. He did not sub- mit any offer, but has stated that what is known as Brooks' Island could be secured for $15,000, anti it is under- stood that of this sum. Brooks broth- ers would be willing to contribute $6,- 000, making the purchase price really $10,000. J. E. Lane said that he be - flayed three gentlemen of the city would contribute $12,600 toward the improvement, and remarks were made by G. H. Beasley and others. To place the matter in definite shape, motions were made and carried that the chair- man appoint a committee to look ov- er all available sites and that another committee to look after the financial end of the undertaking be appointed, both committees to report at an ad- journed meeting to be held at the court house next Wednesday evening. An adjournment was then taken. The chief question now to be decid- ed appears to be whether an effort shall be made to secure a large tract of land at some distance from the cen- ter of town, or a much smaller piece, comprising a city bloc'', located not far from the business center, will tie more dentist:4e. Both plans have ad- vocates, with arguments In support of each, and it will be for the citizens to decide between them. The Official Report. The proceedings of the meeting are summarized in the following official report: Judge Cheadle, the chairman of tbe meeting held at the City Hail on Wednesday evening, the 17th inst., for the purpose of considering the matter of providing a public park for Lewistown, desires to announce the following committees.

The rumors that mave been In cir- culation during the past two weeks to the effect that the local capitalists Interested in the project to erect a fine modern hotel and bank building on the Day house corner had decided to wait until next year before begin- ning operations were effectually dis- posed of this week by the anounce- ment of J. P. Barnes, M. I.. Wood- man and J. T. Wunderlin that they intended to proceed with the woik just MI moon as possible. To that end, a contract has been let for moving the old Day house from the corner to the rear, and when the site is clear ed, excavating will begin.
