of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul rail-
road, reached this city yesterday on his peri
odical trip across the continent from ST. Paul
to Portland. He was accompanied from st.
Paul by Mr.. T. B. Ross, the travelling passen-
ger agent of the road between st. Paul and
Helena, and by Mr.. Charles A. Fuller, a
prominent capitalist of that city, connected
with the we'll known house of H. P.
Rugg & company. The party will re-
main in Helena until Monday, and
then pay flying visit to Butte, and from
thence proceed TO Portland. Mr.. Dixon is
greatly pleased with Helena, and was much
impressed with the visible evidences of its
growth since his last visit. The bulk of
its travel and traffic with the east goes over
his popular road, and the Helena business
is larger than that of any city between st.
Paul and Portland. We were glad to learn
from Mr.. Dixon that the business of the
Chicago, Milwaukee 81 st. Paul is steadily
growing with the growth of the vast empires
on the line of the Northern Pacific, for
which it furnishes the best outlet to the east,
and have no doubt that the periodical visits
of its genial northwestern passenger agent
have added much to the increasing popu-
larity OF this great road throughout the west.
Mr.. W. II. Marshall, travelling passenger
agent of the road between Portland aud
Helena, met Mr. Dixon at this city and will
accompany him to Portland.
