BUTTE News.
A CONFERENCE IS HELD
Important Agreement Between
the n. P. and Short Line.
DIFFERENCES FIXED UP
Short Line Trains Will Run Directly Into
Butte With Their Own Crews.
Montana Union Tickets Will
Be Withdrawn.

Notwithstanding the emphatic denial
of Messrs. Bancroft and Eccles that
they held any business conference with
President Mellen of the Northern Pa
cific in Butte recently or that there had
been a contemplation of any change
in traffic arrangements between the
Short Line and Montana Union, such
a conference was held, new and i'm
portant traffic agreement was drawn
up and official notice was received in
Butte yesterday that the agreement
had been approved and was Immediate
" put into effect. All differences here
tofore existing between the two roads
have been adjusted and in future their
business relations will be most AMIGA
BILE. Hereafter the Short Line will run
all it's trains, freight and passenger
directly into Butte from Silver Bow
over the Montana Union tracks and
will use its own crews, the Montana
Union having nothing more to do with
the handling of any of the Short Line
trains. The first trains under the new
arrangement came into Butte yester-
day, following a notice received by
General Freight and Passenger Agent
Calderhead that the new arrangement
had been agreed to by President Carr
and was effective. The change of af-
fairs will necessitate a change of the
Montana Union time schedule and a
new one will be put into effect Mon
day.
Another important result of the
agreement reached between the two
roads is that Montana Union tickets in
Butte will be withdrawn from sale, in
fact were withdrawn yesterday orders
TO that effect having been issued by
Mr.. Calderhead. and they will be re-
placed on Monday by Short Line tick
cts, both at the Union Pacific depot
and city offices. The officials of
the Short Line will be in
Butte Monday to meet Mr.. CAL
derhead and arrange details of the
new order of things. William Gem
nell, station agent of the Montana
Union. was yesterday also appointed
agent of the Short Line and will in flu
ture act in the double capacity.
Heretofore the Rio Grande Western |
has labored under a great disadvan- |
tage by the refusal of the Montana |
Union to check Western baggage be- |
yond Silver Bow, which made it neces-
sary for the Western to maintain
man at Silver Bow to recheek all bag
gage there. The new deal between the
Short Line and Montana Union and
the withdrawal of Montana Union tick
cts obviates that difficulty and hereaf-
ter Western baggage will be checked /
through.
