cess that the commission decided to
compliment the good people of Mon
tana as had been the Coloradoans.
Through the courtesy of the Oregon
Short Line railroad officials two cars
will be provided and transported TO
Butte and Anaconda. The cars will
be appropriately decorated and lettered
and the inside space filled with lilacs,
pOtted plants and cut flowers of rare
beauty and fragrance. All day Satur-
day the cars will be at the Oregon
Short Line depot, where contributions
| of the floral tributes will be received
and the commission hopes for as liberal
contributions from the people of Salt
Lake as were given for the Colorado
event The floral train will leave at
O'Clock Saturday evening and will
reach Butte Sunday noon, one of the
cars going on to Anaconda, where also
| the flowers will be attributed on the
Sabbath. Messages to this effect were
ordered forwarded TO the Butte and
Anaconda papers last evening. Repre-
SentatiVeS of the commission viii ac-
company the cars and several thousand
pieces of advertising matter pertaining
! to the scope and grandeur of the ju-
bilee and incidentally TO the resources
and attractions of the state will be
taken along. With each bouquet and
booklet will be given a unique invita-
ton TO the MontananS to come to
Utah's grand celebra ton next July.
The commission has good reason to
believe that the Butte and Anaconda
recipients of Utah's floral favors will
be as enthusiastically appreciative as
were the residents of Leadville. Grip
pie Creek, Victor and other places,
where flowers grow not, and where also
Salt Lakes generosity and enterprise
are loudly praised.
