The second excursion to Helena under
migration company arrived at p. m. yes
terday, 443 strong. It was in all respects
the largest and best excursion ever in this
city and was heartily welcomed by all. The
400 excursionists left Denver at 1920 Tues
day. The next morning at 4:3O they were
joined at Green River by large contingents
from Salt Lake and Ogden. However, rs
the list shows the party was made up of
representative people from all sections of
the vast. The list includes many names
from Greeley, Leadville, Cheyenne, Lara
mie and Colorado, Utah and Idaho, while
there is a sprinkling from the eastern cities.
When the excursionists reached Pocatello
at $50 p. m. Wednesday another gathering
was taken on board. An hour later solid
train of eleven coaches pulled away from
that town and its vile eating house. This
consisted of four tirst-class sleep
ers, three colonist sleepers and three
day coaches, baggage car and
brand new locomotive. But few stops
were made until the train reached Garrison
at p. m. the next morning. Then an an
noying accident happened. AS the train
was moving from the Union Pacific to the
Northern Pacific tracks over an old switch,
the engine jumped the track. The delay
which resulted lasted for six hours and it
was 10 o'clpck before the train started on
the last stretch of the long journey. The
incidents which might have proved annoy
ances to any but good natured party were
even considered as Interruptions to the very
pleasant trip. Manager Scott and his base
ball club of good fellows held their end up
in tho matter of fun in the front of the
train. while the rear coaches carried Jolly
groups of ladies and gentlemen. Manager
J. III. Holmes, of the interior Land u I'm
migration company, and w. q. Emerson.
the Ogden agent of the company, were on
the constant lookout for the comfort of the
passengers, President I. 4. Holiness Col.
A. NJ. York, the secretary and treasurer, b.
McAffrey, the Salt Lake agent, and A. Ben
contributed largely to the entertain
ment. Clusky Cromwell. correspondent
of the Denver Republican told tales OF
adventure and John Wilson, of Helena,
who met the party at Salt Lake, pictured in
radiant cOlors the large returns from in
vestments in Helena realty. J. F. Knapp,
publisher of the Salt Lake Tribune, and
wife, and the we'll known soubrette, Miss
May Burnett. were in the party. G. G.
Becker and b. E. Burtis, pullman car con.
ductors looked carefully after the wants of
the passengers and the journey flew away
happily and pleasantly to all. When
Helena was reached a large crowd was at
AAA - III kI2 .c.k
Prominent real estate men and citizens had
arranged everything SO that the excursion
lists found little difficulty in becoming 10
Gated. The street cars and steam motors
quietly carried the party to the different
hotels when they separated to meet together
ut different times during the stay. Al

city last evening and particularly with thu
Broadwater hotel and the great natatorium
To-day they will view the various sight

much Importance to the welfare of the city
