Great Satisfaction,

Hamilton, May 14.-Nothing has af-
forded the people of this city so much
satisfaction in a long time as the an
nouncement that a new time card is to
so into effect on the Bitter Root branch
this month. The service on the branch
this spring has been the most unsatis-
factory that Hamilton has ever had,
and the Improvement is hailed with
delight The new card will give Ham
ilton connection with both of the east
bound trains, in the morning by the
passenger train and in the afternoon
by the freight. The running time of the
passenger train between Hamilton and
Missoula will be made such that 1T will
net spoil half a day to make the trip OF
so miles It is reported unofticially that
the fruit shippers will be afforded a
through car to Butte that will obVlate
the necessity of handling berries two
or three times. This will probably be
accomplished by attaching special
fruit car to the regular trains between
Missoula and Garrison.
