THE WE.5ERN EXTENSION.
What Chief Egineer Beeler Sys of It
The Greas anils a Canada Road.
Chief Engineer Beckler has just re- A
turned, says the Helena Journal, from an
extended trip over the Montana Central,
and over tW new and projected lines and
surveye of the Great Northern. He has
hardly spent a day at home since Janua
ry. During this last trip he spent seven
days In the saddle, and as many more he
had totramp It.
Mr. Beckler says that 100 miles of the
Great Falls & Canada are already graded
and rekdy for the track laying, which will
he begun at once. He thinks this line
will be of great benefit to Helena, and all A
citemand towns along the Montana Cen
tral line by the tapping of the Canadian
Pacific at Lethbridge and the great coal
fields there. The Neihart branch Is now
completed fifty-one miles from Great
alls and is within two mulesef Monarch,
which town will be rpeched on Monday.
rhie is one of the finest pieces of road in
Montana and opens up a fine country.
When usked about the route to be taken b
for the coast, Mr. Beckler said that none s
had been decided upon as yet and that it
was not even yet known from which
point, Great Falls or Assinalbotne, the P
western line would diverge. Several o
lines have been surveyed and It Is pretty n
certain the line will either be ti Flathead
lake or Missgula. The road, Mr. Beckler c
said, could~be laid to either of these
ointothis year. To the former would'I
be 950 miles and to Missoula but 1I0 0
miles. Both routes have been surveyed. i
The location of the road depends a great
deal upon the connection to\ be or that
can be made. I

standard solution of lime for titrating the
water, using an slooholio olution of phe.

of lime water added i a measure of the
lime required to combine with the free
carbonic sold present in the water, and
that necesary to convert the hydrogen,

-Posatal 1aeolitu Needed.
Box ELDEa, May 6, 1890.
ED. o TaIEVt E: We are now able to
enjoy the beauties of spring, as all the
crop is in, and that fine rain of last Satur
day gave all things a start, so that the
fields are taking on a coat of, green.
M.at of the desirable land on Box El
der has been taken up and we will soon
have neighbors all around. Our greatest
need ls a postofice, which we must have,
or else we cannot any longer support the
present administration. Some of our set
tlers are troubled with a desire to get
that which rightfully don't belong to
them. Why it is, is a conundrum, as
there appears to be plenty of land for all
comers.
Mr. Graham, one of our oldest settlers,
has had muchtrouble with his neighbors
about the lines, which are very indefinite
owing to the bungling surveyors that
have been working in here.
Mr. Pistorie came among us last fall
and took up a ranch adjoining Mr, G.
During the winter he discovered that
Mr. G. was not confined within the proper
boundaries and gave him notice to move
his fence, and Mr. G. gave a counter no
tice for him to move his house, as that I
was on his tree claim. As neither made
a move as directed, Mr. Pistorle began
moving Graham's fence, and to expedite
business thought it best to cut it to
pieces, and small pieces at that. An army
of armed men are kept on duty to guard
the fence and on the other hand some
have taken up arms to put down more
fence. The case will finally be settled
by due course of law. C. B.

mX OGmINO WOOL SEASON.
LeW NPsghO atus ad Qautek trae.prta.
talo fhm Great ealls.
Great Falls looks confidently for heav
ter receipts of wool tios year than in any
former season. Last year this city re
calved more wool than any other place i
Montana. She became at a bound th
greatest wool market in the state. This
was due to fair dealing, good prices, our
central location and ample railroad facil
lties. Wool poured in here from the Ju
dith and Musselshell regions as well as
from the great sheep ranges of Choteau
county. The wool-growers all' found a
ready market. Buyersfrom Boston, New
York and Philadelphia were all here
prepared to pay spot cash or to take the
wool on consignment. The demand was
so brisk that little wool was consigned.
In the coming season the railroad facil
ides of Great Falls will have been en
lar.ed by the opening of the new steel
hihway to the Belt Mountains. That
railroad will afford accommodation to a
larg region. Moderate rateas of freight
will be established to this city, whence
the through rates recentlyannounced will
take effect. These rates are about 2t
cents per hundred less than the opening
rates last year. They include all rail
transportatlon to Superior and steamship
thence to Buffalo, whence the wool will
be sent to Boston, New York or Philadel
phia by railroad. By this route the wool
will reach market in good condition and
almost as quickly as by the fastest of fast
freight lines.
The attendance of buyers will belarger
than at any former season. The market
here is now so well established that self
Interest as well as enterprise will insure
the attendance of all the old favorites
andmanynewbuyers. The greathouses
of the three cities-Boston, New York
and Philadelphia, will all be represented
hais. Local buyers will also be on hand
and will help to make this the livellest
market of the northwest.

The Miner gives the following account
of the unsealing of the Anaconda mine
"When the coyering of the Anaconda
shaft was removed a slight order of gas
was perceptible, but this soon entirely
disappeared, and the men were permit

distance. 'On the St. Lawrence side no

low as 400 was prosecuted without inter
