BUTTE. July 3.-After midnight to-mor-
row the people OF Montana will at last
have secured a right from the various
railroads to which they ave always been
entitled. but never obtained. Reference
is made TO the matter OF passenger rates
10 eastern points. Heretofore the COM
panies have insisted upon charging higher
rates east bound thar they did between
the same points west bound. That is,
from 81. Paul and Omaha TO Butte the
rate would be from 81 To ~ less than from
Butte to those points.
The argument set up by the railroads In
support OF this injustice was that the diff
ference was made in order to induce west
bound travel and thus settle up h terri
tory west OF the Missouri. BY the same
line OF reasoning they probably also ar
gued that the people of the west, being so
much more prosperous aud wealthy than
those of the east, could afford to pay
higher rates for the luxury n pleasure
OF "A visit to their former friends in the
asst whom they intended To surprise with
their riches acquired In the glorious coun
try beyond the Missouri. Be this as il
may, the injustice Of this method Of DIFF
ferentials has mt last dawncd upon the
railroads or else the spirit Of competition
grew so strong with some of the compa
MES that they threatened Ia kick owe the
traces anu CUT rates Ill ottltF I'D lutFtute
their passenger traffic. IL is
more than probable Ia the latter Is
the dominant cause, and rather than
have a rate war all roads belonging To the
Western Passenger association decide
upon a common reduction of rates. Be
that as il may. the rate from Butte to
Mississippi aud Missouri river points is
now the same as from those points west.
After August I the rate To ST. Paul and
Omaha Will be $40, first class unlimited,
and $50 for the round trip, frs. class
limited. Second class tickets will be sold
for SO.
