JOBBERS ABROAD.
Resolutions Which Cover a Multi
tude of FITTINGS.

The iobbers of the Twin Cities, who
left early last week for trip over the
Great Northern, evidently have had
general good time, as is indicated by tn e
following telegram which was received
by the GLOBE last evening:
AssINNIBoINE, Mont, June %, 1890.-The
Great Northern railway having rendered
the jobbers of ST. Paul and Minneapolis
trip over their line from ST. Paul to Butte,
Mont, thereby furnishing an unusual oppor-
tunity for learning the facilities and treas
ures of the country through which it runs.
our previous knowledge of both having been
extremely limited. From the little knowl-
edge we possessed we were OF the opinion
that the country on the Montana division
merely consisted of ragged mountains, valu-
liable only for minerals. On the other hand,
we find it also adapted to agricultural pur-
poses, available both for producing grain and
grazing. We also find that the cities we have
had an opportunity of visiting show growth
and yIgor truly wonderful; the most noted
ones along the route being Great Falls Helena
and Butte. These cities, for wealth
and probable future greatness, exceed
ceived. Many of US in contemplating the
project of building O railroad through this
territory thought it precarious venture, but
after seeing the expanseiess resources of the
country through which the Great Northern
railway runs, we are persuaded that the
projectors and builders were wiser than
others of their time, and ''builded better than
they knew"
We find the route selected for the road SUI
perior to that of any other transeontinental
road, and the construction, while made at a
moderate cost, is of the best character; no
expenditure has Deen spared in reducing
grades to the minimunl-in no case exceed
ing the maximum grades admissible on first
class roads in any part of the country.
Desiring more formally TO express our SEN
iments in relation to this delightful trip, we
therefore resolve:
First-That it is our conviction that the so
cial and business relations between the
cities we. in q measure, represent at the
eastern terminus of the line, and the cities
near the western terminus are naturally init
mate; that they are mutually dependent
upon each other. and nothing should be left
undoEe to cultivate and encourage these
close relations with each other
Second-We express our thanks TO the citi-
zens of Great Falls, Helena and Butte for
the generous manner in which they have eX
tended their hospitality and afforded us OPP
portunity for viewing matters OF interest in
their several localities. We especially thank
the board of trade and social clubs of the
cities who have been in charge Of the matter
of our entertainment.
Third-We also express our thanks to COL
Broadwater for the unusually generous man
ner in which he entertained us at the Hotel
Broadwater. ana also the full and free priv
| ilege of the Thermal bath in conjunction with
| his hotel. which. both in extent and magnif
| cenee. is uneXceled anywhere in the world,
| and we'll worth visit by any tourist
Fourth-We cannot too warmly thank Pres
| ident Hill for the invitation extended TO us
| to accompany this excursion, and for the
more than generous manner in which every
provision was made for our enjoyment. We
also desire to emf hatically express our
