Railroad survey nears decision on Terry line
A Northern Pacific surveyor says a cut off from Mandan via Pennel creek toward Miles City is likely and would parallel the Milwaukee line into Terry. The route through Pine hills and Powder river is costly to maintain, but a .3 percent grade would enable fast trains. Terry residents expect the line to make Terry a division point, with completion details to follow in a week. Mrs. Walter James visited Glendive, L W Lamb improves after winter in Hot Springs, and local hardware firm head Dey LeSner plans to meet spring demand.
