The Interstate Railroad and Public Service Commission denied a petition to build a connecting spur between the Milwaukee and Great Northern tracks at Choteau to ease hay shipments north to Power and beyond. The board found public necessity not sufficiently demonstrated, but arranged an alternate rate plan with carriers to route hay via Great Falls to Power, matching the imagined benefits of the proposed line. T. H. Pridham represented Malone.
