After the ceremonies, which concluded AZ
6p. m, the excursion train bound for Helena
and to connect with the U. & N, was de-
tanned and shifted back and forward between
the pavilion and Gold creek until 1918. The
Butte and Deer Lodge passengers reached
here al 2:lS, Superintendent st. Clair having
ordered down a special train from Deer
Lodge, which waited for them. The U. s. N.
excursion train having received those who
had gone by wagon from the intersection,
ran into Butte in good season. The Deer
Lodgers whs drove down got home at eight
or nine o'clock. The Helena excursionists
did not reach home until 6 a. m. Sunday,
many of them having had nothing to eat for
twenty-four hours. There were some very
earnest execrations INDUCED in against the
N. p. train dispatcher and corresponding
compliments paid the q. g. n. Co. for atten-
ton to the welfare of passengers.

The photographers were out in full force
Saturday. Cameras were as plentiful az loco
motives. and "dry plates" were almost As nu-
merous as dry palates. A Portland firm had
a machine az large as a dry goods box up on
platform that suggested Sioux burying
ground. Haynes, Of Fargo, the official pho

microscope at everything between Duluth
and Portland and can print a panoramic view
of the route without missing a station, had
his quarter-second camera going In as many
directions as there are points to the compass,

The Northern Pacific Company made
splendid preparations for the spike ceremo-
mics at Independence Greek. The spot Is not
All attractive one naturally, being at the
mouth of narrow gulch, with but two or
three hundred feet of level ground between
the bluffs aud the He'll Gate river, and this
space largely covered with willows. Access
to IL by wagon could only be had by crossing
from the north through Frank Sessions
field fording the river and Wandering for
some distance along the river. The pavil-
ion and platforms were spacious, we'll built
and INTELLECTUALLY pleasing. The pavilion
was in the form of grand stand, facing the
main track, with comfortable seats for 600
or 800 people. 1t was rooted with boards
and paper, held by colored strips, and on the
front three gables were placed-the middle
one embellished with picks, shovels, sledges,
spikes, etc, and the entire building was
tastefully decorated with pines. The plat
forms, covering the entire space between the
tracks, would hold 1900 people. At either
end wells had been sunk and pumps were
placed. A large band stand and movable
Speakers stand occupied the west end of
the PLATFORM hut the latter was not used.
Above the center of the main building float
ed the American flag, ON the east was the
eros. Of st. George, and on the west tn 9 tri-
color of Germany. Just across the track from
the pavilion another platform was extended,
and on this was the Western Union telegraph
Office The Fifth U. 8. Infantry Band was
present during the day and discoursed admir-
able music. A squad of regular infantry did
guard duty and a section of artillery fred
salutes as the several trains arrived and dur
ing the driving of the spike. Every access
sorry for a grand demonstration was brought
into requisition and used with splendid Of.
feet. Probably no such isolated, unattrac-
tive, uninhabited, useless neck of the woods
In all this wide world, was ever the scene of
so impressive and magnificent pageant.

After the speeches were ended Mr.. Willard
announced that If those on the platform
would move to the south side of the track,
his guests would occupy the north, and the
LOO feet of track would be laid and the last
spike driven. The people moved promptly
back. All day long there had stood at either
end of the space two cars, loaded with just
enough rails to reach the last tie the
track-layers had stood faithfully by them, as
artill. rymen stay by their guns, and the iron
car horses, including mig" had been in har-
ness and place from o a. IN. 1t was almost s
p. IN. when the signal was given, and the men
sprang TO the work. Track was never laid
faster. Every man and horse knew his
place and his work, and As each two rails
were laid the horses sprang forward with the
car until the end was reached, when It was
"blocked" quick, two more rails thrown
down and the method repeated. For the
first hundred yards the western men appear
ed to have the best Of 1t, but at most mop
perfume moment their car jumped the track
and they were beaten. The eastern men
buckled down to their work and In seven
minutes had laid their $50 feet Of rails. This
was at the rate OF over ten miles day. Their
performance was greeted with enthusiastic
cheers. The western men appeared four
minutes later.
