laxt evening. land I will recommend
that the Times peyt excursion I'm jan
nary to also stop here and enjoy this
progressive city. Every member Of the
party is SURPRISED at Butte. The peo-
pie of st. Paul n the East have a
very erroneous impression OF your city.
Their idea of Butte is that IL Is a lively
small mining camp. with mines all
around or the hills and mountains.
Very few people in the East have any
idea thai Butte is a big, progressive
and modern city"
