At the meeting Of The Board Of Trade last
night steps we're taken to assist in the re-
ception and entertainment of the 400 dele
aates to the Presbyterian general assembly
to be hold at Portland, Ore, next week.
The delegates will arrive in Helena next
Saturday at eight p. M, in two sections Of
eight cars each. After = short stop At the
Nor.hsrn Pacific depot the two sections will
be taken to the B%roadwAter. Col. Broad
water has offered the Inequalities OF the

freshinR bath in the natatorium after their
long railroad journey. A committee will
leave Helena OF Saturday to meet the dele
gates Is Logan. It consists Of y. W..
knight, Gov. Toole, Rev. 7. v. Moore. G.
Hedges. II. Nv. Ellis and several others not
yet named. Arrangements have been
made to entertain tho visitors at . number
Of private residences and the hotels. Many
Of the delegates have personal friends in
Helena. The committee which will meet
the delegates at Logan will assign q as
desire to the residences and hotels. It is
probable that quite a number will not care
to leave the Pullmans except to
take a short drive about the city
after their arrival and on the day following
to attend divine services. No formal re-
ception will be given the delegates, as the
hour Of their arrival would make it moon
venient to the visitors as we'll as the citi-
zens. and the religious convictions Of the
delegates would stand in the way Of any
attempt to give mp the Sabbath to such a
demonstration The board decided that
nothing much could be done except in q
quiet way to entertain the visitors. It was
thought at first that the delegates would
remain over a part OF next Monday. but
the train is scheduled to reach Portland on
Wednesday. which makes it necessary to
leave Helena at am. next Monday. Anum-
Der Of private carriages have bsen placed at
the disposal of the reception committee.
The electric lines have made a reduced rate
from the Broadwater TO the city. Special
rates have also been made by The Helena.
It was principally through the efforts of
induced to stop over at Helena and spend
Sunday. - 4#Et s-5@ 5@@@=
