ions hat have been brought out by
tina aesthetic organization. The gaudy
fly, attracted To o and leader that
constitutes the emblem OF the club. is,
this year. a brilliant production. 1t is
the brightest red that was ever painted
or dyed, and would make Supervisor

when il comes to red paint. The list
Of the members Of the club that are i'm

MAKING A RECORD.
The Copper City Limited Is Doing All
That Was Expected.

1hat was Ehptttfus
Missoula. Aug. at does not require
an expert railway man to recognize
the fact thai the Copper city Limited
is doing all the business that was eX-
pected of It by it's friends, who have
urged such a train for several years
II is also apparent to the veriest noVlc
who rides on the train that IL is a good
one and fully entitled to the big Dusl-
ness that il is receiving. 1t runs as II
il was being chase and the track de-
partment keeps plugging away so as
To make il possible for the train TO
run just a little faster all the time ana
a little more easily. All of the humps
i'm the track are being X out and
the ride down from Garrison these
days is "A pleasant one. The train Is
running regularly on time and people
here are getting to expect 1t on the dot.
to the extent that they seldom inquire
how IL is running. but go To the station
To meet ii when the time card calls
for it's arrival. This is n of the
p~leasantest features of the service.
There is no waiting for late trains and
no delay at junction points. The train
slides along to Butte and Anaconda
and the man who wants To go To either
place has no change to make. He gets
into the car here and remains there till
he reaches mis- destination. The train
is making "A record that is |ceeding
gratifying and will undoubtedly be-
come a fixture on the division.

Track improvements.

Missoula. Aug. 3.-Roadmasters Palmer
and Hartman have their forces along the
Rocky Mountain division hard at work.
The track all along the line is being put
into the best possible condition. Most OF
the heavy work is finished except the
filling of the big t~restles on Helena
mountain but the new conditions of long
trains and fast time with the big engines
are not easy TO meet and IL requires ON
slant work TO keep the track up To what
IS demanded of IL. To the credit Of the
track department II can he said that there
IS no smoother riding track on the line
than is now found on the Rocky Moun
tain division.
