NEW IOAD ASS CHICAGO * NORTHWEST"RN TO INVADE PACIFIC COAST is CHICAGO RUMOR. Chicago, Dec. 2.-Reports from the west of exture surveys acid to have beent nade in thewinterest of the Chi sago & Northwestern railway are taken as an Indicationt that the North western is planning to build another transcontinental line. linking Chicago with the Pacific coast. While tih officials of the road will not divulge their Intentions. it is be lieved that they are quietly maturing plans, following the example already set by the Chicago, Milwapkee 4. St. Paul and the Gould system 19 the United States, and now being net by the Grand Trunk and the Canadian Northern In Canada. The forthcoming issue of $30,000,000 ofinew securities, which has been pre dited in New York for several weeks. is to provide the funds for starting works on the vast entergl*ee, accord-. ing to the reports. In this connection it is recalled that the St. Paul's Puget Sound extension, just comgleted, was started with a stock issue of a similar amount. Four principal surveys are said to have been made, both of them run ning via Goose Lake, Ore., a short dis tanace west of the Northwestern's pres ent terminus. The first line runs from Goose Lake west to Portland. Tacoma and Seattle on Puget Sound. and the second runs southwest through the Sacramento valley in the direction of San Fran elsco. The present western extremity ;of the Not hwestern line is at Lander, 3y, near the Illaho state line, and Iter* is another line aimo as far west to Bellefourche, 8. D. The Northwestern's through traffic between Chicago and California is now routed from Omaha west over the rails of the Union Pacific-Southern Piciftic system, with which the North western has a traffic arrangement. ..In order to be able to compete on even terms with its rivals for west ern traffic, the Northwestern must essentially free itself from the-neces alty of depending on any mere traffic agreement; it Is asserted, and before many years are past secure its own rails to the coast.

The selection of a constiution. the condemning of the abolition of quar antine in smallpox cases, the election of effiters and the starting of a cru sade for the unfortunate youag girls of this city made yesterday's meet ing of the Federated Church Women of Missoula undoubtedly the most im- I portant in the life of that organiza tion. The session was held in the par lore of the Baptist church. A Protest. The protest against the abolition of the smallpox quarantine was worded as follows: "We, the Federated Church Women of Missoula, most emphatically pro test against the abolition of quarantine in smallpox cases and the allowing of smallpox patients to mingle with un restricted freedom among the people of the community. "We respectfully urge the county commissioners and the city authorities to see that all smallpox patients are rigidly quarantined until all possibili ty of contagion is past. We further request the city and county authori ties to disregard the recent decision of the state board o( health abolish ing quarantine, unless legally bound by it. "The Federated Church Women oft Missoula protest against the action of the state board of health in abolish ing smallpox quarantine, thus allow ing those afflicted with the disease to go and cdme among the people, ex posing many to the danger of con tagion. "We respectfully ask the state board of health to reconsider its ac tion and to compel the isolation of all smallpox patients in the gate." The resolution also provides that copies be sent to the city and county officials and to the secretary of the state board of health. " It was decided yesterday afternoon that a standing committee should be appointed to undertake rescue work among the unfortunate young girls of Missoula. Officers and Committees.
