Tbo extension of the Burlington road into
Montana is a question of time , and a brief
tlmo at that. What route has been or will bo
ohoscn is the subject of considerable specula
tion. A correspondent familiar with the sit
uation writes thut considerable preliminary'
surveying has been done from Sheridan
through northurn Wyoming and southern
Montana. The rcoorts of tno surveyors are
BOW in tbo bunds of thu directing ofticlals for
decision. A line has been run Irom Sheridan
in a northwesterly direction to old Fort C. F.
Smith , on tbo Big Horn in the Crow reserva
tion , a feasible route being found by skirting
the U\K \ Horn mountains , following the old
tuga line pretty closely. 1 < rom Fort Smith an
easy way is open to Fort Ouster , where a
heavy business in freighting could bo se
cured. It Is an open ecret that tbo Burling
ton people have made overtures to the gov
ernment fur contracts for that business , inci
dentally urging that Fort Custer bo not
abandoned nor the force reduced when the
new post at Helena Is ready for occupancy.
JFrom Fort Custor o line was run to Pom-
pay's Pillar , on the Northern Pacific , thence
northwest to the foot of Bull mountain ,
around thoMi mountains to the west and
north to tbo Mussolsholl rlvor , following
that Elroam well up toward the Llttlo Bell
and hnnw mountains , thence west to Custlo
and U'hlto Sulphur Springs and on to Town-
fiend or Toston.
From old Fort C. F. Sn > ith a line ban been
run nearly dun northwest to Billing * and on
to the Mubsclsholl a few miles west of Bull
mountain , thence along thu line indicated
above. Also from l < \ > rt Smith a line has
bean run south along the Big Horn rivornnd
Stinking Water creek , thence along Snnko
river , ever the Teton mountains , south of
Yellowstone park toward Blackfoot , Idaho.
Ttili line has been run u good part of the
distance only on paper. From Billings a
line lias been run nearly due south to meet
this projected line at a point near whor the
Blinking Water ompllos into Iho Big Horn.
Another line , which has been more or less
urveyad , winds inrougb thu mountains
west of Suoridun to Pr.t or gap , near thu
Montana line , thence In a general north
westerly direction to the Bear creek mine ? ,
near Red Lodge , north to BIcTlmoor , pnr-
nilellnu' the Northern Pacific from Big Tim
ber to Twenty-Five Mile crook , near Liv
ingston , and thence north over ft line once
urvoyod and oross-scctionoil , so reported ,
by tbo Northern Puellle , to old Camp Baker ,
near Neibnrt , reaching the latter place nnd
making friendly arrangement with the
tireat Northern for the exchange of business
at Great falls.
Some work has boon done in the country
north of thu MuRSOlshcll , making lines lend-
tnif toward Great Falls , leaving the river
probably at I.avinn or Copperopolls.
The business of tbo road utter leaving
Shorlilnn will bo live stock and mining , the
latter ns yet almost wholly undeveloped.
The live stock business Is , of 'course , ulreudv
established , aim looking at thai alone It
would bourn thut the preponderance ot ad
vaulHRoa would bum favor ol the line or
llnus running from Fort O. F. .Smith to
Castle nndVhlto Sulphur Springs , whore
connection could ho made with the projected
line from Helena to those places.
As far as known , contract ! ! for construc

thn bar has risen out of Iho water ten or

and a length of four miles , reaching across
the entire bay. This bar is In the shape ot a

roll up the side of it , break ever nnd roll

The famous whalcb.nck sloamor , Wetmoro ,
after almost encircllnc thogloDo , inglonously
ended its career by running on tbo rouks on
the Oregon ' -Oiist during a fog on the Stb lust.
The Wotmoro was the tlrsl of the whale-
backs built al Ouluth for Iho grain carrying
trade on the lakes. For spccu and capacity
they were unsurpassed , and shippers pre
dicted they were destined to rule the wave
in that line of business. The Wolmoro not
only crossed the lakes but successfully buf
feted the Atlantic , landing n cargo lu Liver
pool. Next II sped around the Horn to tbo
Pacific , thence to Son l < 'rancn > eo nnd Puget
Sound , experiencing severe woalhor and suf-
fonng many accidents. She now lies bat
tered and bruUed on tbo rocks ul Capo
Blanco , with no hope of getting her off.
