BUTTE, July l4.-As a result of last
Saturdays conference and the very plain
talk Of the members Of the board of
trade, the Northern Pacific has decided
TO placate the feelings OF the people as
much as possible by doing something In
the way of improving the train service
on the Butte short line. The promise
made at the meeting by General Mellen
that the local service between Butte and
Bozeman would be restored has been full
filed and in n much shorter time than
was expected.
To-day official notice was received at
the company's local Office from the super
intendent that a local train would be put
on between Butte and Bozeman which
would run through via Logan as the first
section of No. A, the through east bound
express. This train will leave here daily
at i:i0 y. m. and returning will run as the
first section Of No. 1, the through west.

delaying traffic. OF course this will take
time, but the fac that it is being done
should be taken in consideration and the
company given Ia credit is due them.
A special train will arrive over the Utah

freight and passenger agent of the Noun
