ENJOYING THEIR VACATION.
The st. Paul Jobbers Having all That
the West Can Afford.
Playing the Distinguished Role, but
Never Miss a Meal.
Special to the Globe.


whistle of the locomotive aroused the job
bers from their tender slumbers at 5 a. m,
at Garrison. In one hour they were on the
narrow gauge train, being hurled down the
celebrated Deer Lodge valley. Every man
had the favorite st. Paul paper in his
hand, as every one was sup
piled with a GLOBE on the arrival of
the midnight express. A short ride brought
the party to Deer Lodge for breakfast. All
marched up town behind the band, and
when i'll sight of the hotel they broke ranks
in an instant. as if shot from a cannon.
Rushing through the Office of the hotel they
went into the dining room on
the jump, almost knocking the
tavern-keeper down. Several hats
were lost in the shuttle. Only the younger
members of the party participated in the
very lively performance. The ride down
the Deer Lodge valley, the ''iinest valley
in Montana" was delightful. Hundreds
of miles are under thorough cult
vatiOn. Each tall, snow-capped mountain
presented a grand picture. We arrived at
Butte at 10 a. m, and were received by
Mayor Frank at the Silver Bow club and dis
tinguished citizens. After speech of well
come and refreshments had been INDUCED
in, the job5erS took possession Of the city
until 2 p. M. when carriages conveyed
ing works. Butte, the greatest mining
camp in the wolld, is a busy, growing city.
Six hundred thousand dollars are paid
monthly to l2bOrerS in the mintS. The pop
ulation is now over twelve thousand, and
there are indications of growth of the city
into a great center of trades.
The jobbers enjoyed the visit TO
the mintS and smelling works.
during the entire afternoon. Many of them
were down in the mints and We're surprised
at the extent of the wonderful works. w.
4. Clark and A. j. Davis, mining kings
and bankers entertained the leading MEM
bers of our party at dinner. The jobbers
feel they have done much good here, which
viii result in large increase to st. Paul
trade in this country. All got off safely at
p. N. for Yellowstone park, which will
be reached Saturday evening. Many are
fatigued by the trip, and anXiOusly await
the recuperative powers of the Yellowstone
springs.
THE TRIP
| from the Bad lands in Dakota has been
revelation to those of the JobberS' union
who had not before made the trip. We
penetrated a country rich in resources and
OF marvellous development. At BoZeman
we encountered tie first community of the
/ old territorial civilization. Here. for a
! quarter OF a century, the processes of de-
yelopment Of natural resources has been
going ON. Where we had expected to find
a frontier town we discovered modern
city, built Of brick and mortar, its citizens
surrounded with all of the comforts and
adjunctS OF civilization of the
higher type. More than sixty carriages met
us at the station and conveyed Us to all
of the points of interest in the city and the
Gallatin valley. Evidences of comfort
peculiar to the higher type of civilization
confronted us on every side. Our stay was
made saturnalia of pleasure, but it was
| with profound regret that he pulled out for
the west, but we were amply compensated
for this sacrifice by the cordial reception
rendered us few hours later by the citizens
OF Helena, who turned out en- masse, each
a committee of one ON reception. The
Montana club rooms with all of their mag
nlilcent equipments We're thrown open with
the wild abandon peculiar TO this Western
country. The mint and all OF the attrac-
tlOnS OF the suburbs were there.
OPEN FOR OUR RECEPTION.
Every house had a catch-String out for
our entertainment The mint and all pub
lie and private places We're thrown open 10
the eXcursionistS. 1t was therefore with
reluctance that we left this open-hearted
hospitality for Deer Lodge and Butte CITY,
| MllcIe we ndNe spent Sucn part OF the day as
has not been devoted to the trip. Deer
Lodge is a beautiful city located in pic
| tureSQue valley, with something of the
same surroundings of Bozeman, a level
plain surrounded by snow-capped
mountains. And Butte City, where
we are now enjoying the genial graces of
a most hosptable people, is a veritable
paradise with the congenial accessory of
a magnificent business added. Butte is the
Denver and the Leadville of this territory
Here hundreds Of thousands of dollars are
annually paid out for labor performed and
material purchased for operating the mag
nificent mines already developed here As
the mountains are full of ore there is no
limit to be placed on the business that may
be developed here in the ordinary course of
business. From this point our party will
| proceed to the National Park via the Mid
die GeySer basin and the mammoth Hot
