THE RAILROAD SITUATION.

Things have changed since the time,
not SO many years ago. when the mag
mates of the Northern Pacific railroad
could appease Butte with promises it
neve intended to fulfill. The policy of
the railroad company has uniformly
been to disappoint Duties business
men who, having until lately no com.
peting line within reach, never mus
tered courage enough TO dictate terms
and then fight for them. Hitherto
Butte has been compelled to accept the
Northern Pacifc's terms, il has found
itself forced obsequiously to request
much which, i'm just business relations,
IL had a right to demand.
III there are business reasons which
warrant the Northern Pacific company
i'm avoiding Butte, il would be fair on
the company's part TO state these fully,
and then everybody will understand
the situation. Within a year men of
high rank in the management of the
company have asserted that the North
ern Pacific enjoys more than 10 per
cent. of the freight traffic furnished by
Butte. In a general way the STAND
ARD has shown how vast that traffic is,
and it promises to lay before its read
ers figures that measure the grand
total of this business. Then, too, Butte
is the immediate center for one-iifth of
the population of Montana. IL may
pay to give Elliston and Avon and
Spokane Hill and the whole string of
towns two daily through trains and
leave Butte fifty miles away-that may
pay, but the people of Butte cannot fig
ure il out and they do not believe that
the Northern Pacific's passenger de-
partment can.
At any rate, Butte wants a daily
train with drawing-room coach and
decent dining service; and il will have
IL from the Northern Pacific within
sixty days or know the reason why this
is refused. The STANDARD is satisfied
that il is accurately informed regard
ing the feeling of the people of Butte
and Anaconda on this question. We
believe il 10 be their conclusion that
the railroad that cannot draw Butte's
people shall not haul Butte's freight.
II the Northern Pacific persists In
its policy. il will become the duty of
the big shippers i'm Butte and in this
city TO make common cause with the
people in this matter, because il is a
common interest with all.
President Hill. Of the Great North.
ern, is by odds the brightest and best
equipped railroad man operating in the
Northwest to-day. The developments
of the next few weeks may show that
Mr.. Hill arrived in the fullness of time
when, asking no odds of public purse
or national domain, he manfully
push his line To Butte. lie may be
making noteworthy extensions to his
road before the Northern Pacific is
aware of il. lie will do this fast
enough if he is tempted -and he runs
risk just now of being very strongly
tempted.

AS the Butte Inter Mountain TRUTH
fully puts it, the Monday morning edi-
ton of the STANDARD attracts wide
and favorable attention. Butte is
proud of 1t and reads it with relish.
Every Monday mOrningt the STANDARD
has absolutely to itself the splendid
field offered in the great city of Butte.
The testimony of the STANDARDS
business Office is that the Monday
morning edition has been immensely
helpful i'm winning for this newspaper
the proud distinction of being Butte's
leading newspaper distinction which
beyond dispute, belongs to the STAND
ARD. IL is true that the seven-day
newspaper tests the patience of editors,
reporters and printers, but things have
come to such a pass that Butte's Mon
day would be incomplete were that
days STANDARD withheld. Mean
while. in the midst of engrossing du-
ties, the pious and painstaking staff of
the STANDARD will ever pray that the
Inter Mountain may be constrained to
turn at length from its Sunday hilari-
ties and that, by surrendering itself on
that day to acts of devotion, it may be
prepared in heart and mind to receive
to its comfort and profit the edition of
the STANDARD that reaches Butte
early every Monday morning.
