Express Agreem ent.

DENVER, Oct. 14.-The Denver & Rio
Grande Express company and the Wells
Fargo company, between which much
rivalry has existed during the past, have
entered into an agreement whereby the
latter transfers to the former the traffic
that has formerly fallen to the Pacific
express. A new through express train
may also be established between Chicago
and Denver or Denver and San Francisco,
and perhaps both. The result will be to
make Denver and not Cheyenne the artery
through which all eastern coast bound
express business will pass.

A Home establishments Whose Work Can.

After waiting patiently for many years,
Helena now has within its limits first.
class Photographic studio--that of Lawson,
on Sixth avenue, in the Power Block annex.
Mr.. Lawson has every facility and all the
latest improvements in his line, while his
reception and operating rooms are al
roomy and elegant rs can be found in the
east. The work turned out appeals mot
only to the artist but the ordinary person,
who, while he may not be able to explain il,
yet knows the productions of this gallery
are complete and finished works of art.
Mr.. Lawson's rule is to let no work leave
his establishment until the purchaser ia
perfectly satisfied. This at times involvea
much trouble, but he finds this rulo Of con-
duct the best.
In addition to other improvements, Mr..
Lawson has added to the operating depart
ment lenses of recent manufacture, which
can take the largest pictures-18x22 inches
thus Obviating the need of enlarging
small photographs by the various pen and
ink and other methods, and at the same
establishment makes speciality of large
photographs and group work, and there can
be seen in the studio some beautiful speci-
mems of recent production.
Mr.. Lawson's business is rapidly growing
and it includes the best class of people.
Now that there is in Helena photographer
who can equal the best work in the east,
the people of this city should and do shoW
their appreciation of the fact.

the City's Growth.
The Oldest shoe house in Helena, and
which has always kept pace with the won
derful growth of the city. is that of Fred
Gamer, on Main street. Mr.. Gamer thor
oughly understands his business. having
started at the bench, and in consequence in
buying goods is able to Judge of their
merits and defects. His many years. ex-
perience in the Montana trade is likewise a
great benefit to the purchaser, as he knows
what the people need and what goods are
the most serviceable in the country. He
has the agency Of three of the most noted
and best lines of shoes made in the United
States-that of Laird, Shober & MITCHELL
whose goods have to be used but once to
make them ever after the favorite, the cele-
latest Burt goods for men and Laird, Sho-
Der & Mitchelrs school shoes.
Mr.. Gamer carries full line of every
latest novelties and styles from the finest
shoes for ladies to common working Shoes
Since first starting in business he has
endeavored and succeeded in having
the ery.latest things turned out by the man
ufacturers, and in consequence has long
held the title of 'Leader in Styles" The
head of the establishment is ably seconded
in his work of pleasing the public by a
number of polite and accommodating
clerks, who look to it that every, person who
enters the store leaves it with pleasant
impression. knowledge of the business, an
immense stock and just treatment of GUS
toners are what have made the Gamer es-
tabliahment what it is to-day-the best of
its kind in Montana.

MONTANA STANDS FOURTH
Nearly One Hundred Miles Of Rail-
road Track Laid Already
This Year.
Although the Season OF Active
Operations Has Not Yet
Opened.
Great Activity Throughout the Unitsa
Statss-Nine Hundred and fourteen
New Enterprises.

Although one-third of the year 1850 has
gone, the railway building season has hard
~ opened, aud while indications Of great
activity in railway work are already mani
tested in almost every state and territory Of
the country, the amount of tracklaying and
grading which has been done in the winter
and spring months ending with April bears
very small proportion to the aggregate
which will be accomplished during the next
eight months Of the year, says the Railway
Age, of Chicago, of May 10th. Frost and
SNOW in the northern portion Of the country
and rain and mud in the south, always de-
lay the commencement and retard the pro.
gress Of the work of grading and bridge
building, and the season of traoklsying
in earnest does not begin until mid
summer and does not reach its height
until >the autumn. While, therefore, our
columns from week to week have evidenced
remarkable activity in projecting and conn
mencing the construction OF new railways
it was not to be expected that much mileage
had been completed and it will b. somewhat
surprising to most people to learn, 40 We
now do from an examination of our records,
that over LOO miles of main lines, In addi-
ton to sidinRs, etc., have been added to the
track mileage Of the United States between
Jan. 1 and May this year. The following
is summary by states of the number Of
lines and the miles of track laid in the
period named, Of which We have received
rannrta 5+#

On several lines va know that some miles
Of track have been added since the date Of
the last statements received. 90 that y may
be safely said that tho mileage Of track laid
up to May l was moro than ], 100 miles. It
will be seen that twenty eight Of the states
and one territory have already increased
their railway mileage this year, the princi-
pal additions, however. having been in tho
and Montana. In several cases the mileage
laid was the completion Of lines which ware
nearly finished at the end of the previous
year, and in very few cases reported to us
actually having been finished in 1889. The
lines on which grading has been commenced
showing in this connection, but sufR-
cient evidence has already been given to
prove that a great number Of roads will be
under construction during the year. Thus
We find that the roads in progress, projsct-
ed or incorporated which have been mon
since Jan. last number no less than ga.
While many Of these enterprises will not
DO undertaken this year, there also will be
many others Of previous years' inception
which may come into life before the year
gives no definite idea Of the amount Of rail-
way building which will be done in the
near future 1t 10 at least important an suR-
gestive Of the immense mileage, for which
there is still room and possibility in this
than 1000 enterprises for build
ing more railway mileage can be
even proposed in the space Of four months,
involving many Thousand miles Of possible
track, it il very evident that the field for
railway builders and for the manufacturers
Of railway supplies isstill vast and hopeful.
II is interesting to note In this partial list
of lines projected or under way that several
Of the southern states are still considered
the fields of greatest promise, the number
Of projects in some Of them being az fol-
lows: Georgia 68, Texas IS, Virginia IS,
Alabama -, Kentucky ~, Tennessee Is,
South Carolina "a, Arkansas "a, Mississippi
n, North Carolina, Florida and Maryland
each 20, and so ON. But some of tho north
ern states also have great expectations,
Pennsylvania reporting 81 enterprises,
Ohio "A, New York 81, Indiana 81, Washing
ton 30, illinois %, Missouri %, West ViH.
ginia 26, Oregon q, Michigan 20, etc.
From these and other indications IL seems
probable that the railway construction Of
1890 will exceed that Of 1889, whom about
$500 miles were built. Taking tbs result
Of other years' work az q comparison the
fact that LOO miles Of track we're laid ON
eighty-two lines in the first four months Of
this year makes it fair to believe thss the
years work may not fall short Of 5000 miles
and may possibly exceed that although Of
course it is too early for very positive pre-
diction on this subject. That 1880 will be
a fairly active year for those whose busineas
il related to the construction and equip.
ment Of new railways seems however to be
already assured.

The wood dove is signal bird. It's song
is the softest and the saddest song in ma
ture and it selects the softest and saddest
tree in which to sing it, viz: the pathetic
pine. The tassels Of the pine soften its
song as it floats out upon the air. There is
no other song that fingers 80 long upon the
air as that of the dove. It is SO sad that
the hooking bird will not mock it.. Its
theme-trait is pathetic soulfulness and it is
forever out of a sense of it's loneliness
breathing adieu to all about it. The only
other bird in all nature that other mala-
perts like the red thrush, the knocking bird,
the catbird, the mino, the magpie, the jay,
