Great Paper Railroad Scheme and Local Militia Election
A spoof notice from Crackerville’s Last Chance Despair committee proposes a massive paper rail line across Montana to harvest votes and funds, promising vast stock for cheap shares and a fictitious capital move. The piece also covers Bozeman Chronicle and Army militia news, including Lt Crowell’s election as captain and a prize medal plan. It ends with a local debt remedy tout and a Boots advertisement.
