BUTTE. June 23.-Upon their return trip
the 81. Paul and Minneapolis excursion
lists who visited this city last week, passed
the following resolutions while at Assina-
boine:
The Great Northern railway having rendered
~. citilcns,of II. PAM and Minneapolis, n trip
over their line from II. Paul To Butte. They fur
nisling us unusual Opportunity OF learning r. IA
cliiiles aud the resources OF Inc couniry tntnnsh
ing limited and frum the little knowledge We
possessed being Of the opinion that the country
ON the Montana division merely consisted Of
rugged mountains valuable for mineral, and now
hDding all parts Of the line also adapted Ia agri-
cultural purposes, a,ailahle both for producing
grain and grazing. We also lind that The cities
We have had the opportunity 81 visiting show a
growth and vigor truly wonderful. Among the
most noted are Great Fails; Helena and Butte
future greatness exceed anything Of
which we had conceived. Many Of
ms ~ coat,inria,ing me nr%ler, o. b,,i,dIng
precarious venture, but after seeing the exhaust
less resources ~ the country through which the
Great Northern railway runs. We are persuaded
that the projectors and builders were wiser than
others az their time and 'bnilded even better
than they knew" We ind the route selected for
the road superior 10 that Of any other transronti-
mental line and the construction, while made at
moderate cost, Of the best character. No eNIen-
diture has been spared In reducing grades Ia the
minimum possible In "A mountainous country, In
no ease exceeding the maximum grades adinlssi-
BILE un first class roads In any part Of the country.
Desiring more formally to express our senti-
mcnts In relation 10 this delightful trip We there
fore resolve.
First, That IL is our conviction that the
social and business relations between the
cities We In "a measure represent nj the east
ern terminus of the line and the elites
near the western terminus are naturally
intimate that they are mutually dependent upon
each other and nothing should he left undone 10
cultivate and encourage these close relations
with each other.
Stcond-We express our thanks to citizens Of
Great Falls, Helena and Butte, for the generous
manner In which they have extended their hos
pilality and afforded us opportunities for view
ing matters of interest in the several localities.
We especially thank the boards of trade and So
rial clubs Of these cities who have been In charge
of the matter Of entertainment
Third-Wc alsp express our thanks To ulonel
Brnadwater for the unusually generous manner
IN which he entertained ms at the Hotel Broad
water. and also for the full and free privilege of
the mineral bath In conjunction with his hotel,
which bath in extent and magnififence l. uneN-
crlle,i anywhere In the world, and well worth "A
visit 10y our tourists.
Fourth~we rinnot too warmly thank Prcsi,
