Some of the Popular Excursions
From Butte.
THE BITTER ROOT VALLEY
Whitehall Trains Crowded Excursions
on the Great Observation-Disclosures
Pacific Earnings Short
Line and Boise.

The summer excursion rates inaugu-
tunities to spend Sundays out of the
city that many people will take advan-
tage of every week throughout the sea-
son. Yesterday and Saturday the
trains leaving Butte We're crowded. The
Copper City Limited on the Northern
Pacific is one of the most popular ex-
cursion trains and every Saturday it
will carry many Butte people to the
Bitter Root valley. The Whitehall
train, which made its first run yester-
day, has also always been popular
Sunday train and through the season it
will carry great crowds to the shady re-
sorts on Jefferson Island, Sacries'
ranch, Whitehall and to Ppestone
Springs. The train for Whitehall will
also be put on shortly.
The Great Northern has a Sunday ex-
cursion rate to Basin and Boulder, and
the park service on the Oregon Short
Line, which will be put on next Sun
day, will open a number of beautiful
retreats on the Big Hole to pure air eX-
cursionists.
A Wall street telegram says the
Northern Pacific people feel very conf
dent in their position and predict sub
stantial advances in the stock. There
are two new considerations that Justify
this sentiment, these being much better
crop advices and very materially i'm
proved earnings. On the other hand, no
new, unfavorable element has appear

cal condition and larger equipment is

where best results are promised and
money for extraordinary improvements
is being spent judiciously, most of it
out of gross earnings. There is in this
connection a dark side to the picture
and that is the disagreement with the
Oregon Navigation over extensions in
the Clearwater territory, which is no
nearer a settlement to-day than it was
year ago.

IN SQU|RM|NG COURSES
Hares Unwilling to Strike Up
the Field.
A DAY FOR SHORT ENDERS
Dust Storms Made 1t Unpleasant at the
Track - White Beat Flying
Dutchman at Three
to One. .

The weather clerk keeps up his en-
nifty toward the coursing park. Since
it is no longer handy to send snow and
rain, he sends dust by wagon loads.
The regular army" was there yester-
day, of course, but few Others The
wind being from the southeast, made
the hares unwilling to strike up the
field, so there were not as many runa-
way courses as usual 1t made it almost
impossible to corral them, also, and
through the first round almost every
brace had a second hare. Twisting,
suuirming courses, across in front of
the stand, had a tendency to make the
results more uncertain and it was
great day for short-enders. White, who
is black, by the way, beat Flying
Dutchman at to /, a great surprise.
Game little 'Dutchy" was not quite
himself and came such a cropper cross
ing the ditch that White Ia very smart
puppy had no difficulty in winning IN
the latter part. O'Connell beat SLOUGH

after a second hare which made the
northeast escape by the stand after
some stiff work. OConnell was gal

The boys were joshing Henry Granting
about the old dogs improvement, say

Turkish baths. The course between
Barrister and Net was particularly in
teresting. They went across in front of
the stand and made all sorts of turns
in the northern corner, Barrister al
ways in the lead and working his game
with cleverness, while Net strained
every nerve to get next to the game,
but simply could not do it, tapping the
old dog most of the way. Mayflower
ran very smartly and many thought the
stake was hers. In the semi finals
Keno beat her during the first of the
journey, leaving off his game the lat

many thinking Keno killed, but the
judge said not What lent force to this
idea is that Keno made a great dash
and snatched the hare from Mayflower
a second after she killed, so that he
emerged from the dust cloud with the

is that there is probably not grey

days has left a surface or dry, loose
sand that cuts pads like sandpaper.
Mayf1ower quite gave it up in the final,

BUTTE NEWS.
SAYS He WAS ROBBED
James Rosseau Dropped 1922 on
Gslena Street.
FRENCH MAY" ARRESTED
A Young Man Arrested for Carrying
Concealed Weapons-Scrappy Mer-
curry Street Women Get
Into Trouble.

James Rosseau. a young Frenchman,
who follows the profession of civil en-
gineer, is short S122 and he accuses one
of his country women, who is known as
French May" of having deprived him
of it without his knowledge or consent
Rosseau was arrested and taken to the
police station yesterday morning about
$3.50 o'clock for being drunk. A that
time he claimed he had been robbed
and kept asking the officers: why
don't you go get my money instead Of
arresting me?" The man was beastly
drunk and the officers supposed he was
merely talking at random, but yester-
day after he had sobered up he was
able to tell all about his misfortunes
and there appears to be no doubt he
was robbed. He said he came to town
Saturday from his brothers ranch, 20
miles out. He brought with him $36
in money and check for $102. He got
the check cashed during the day and in
the evening proceeded to have good
time. He said he had $122 when he
went to visit French May at her re-
sort UP stairs at No. AZ East Galena
street. When he left the place he found
himself penniless. The woman was ar
rested.
Nick P. May was arrested and booked
at the city jail at an early hour yester-
day morning for carrying concealed
weapons. 1t was quite a different mat
ter though which led to his arrest 1t
was stated to the police that May took
young lady to a dance and did not
get home until pretty late. 1t appeared
the young woman lives with sister
and brother-in-laW, who was absent
when the couple got in from the dance.
They went in and locked the door and
when the brother n-law arrived he was
refused admittance. He hunted up an
officer, who arrested May without a
warrant and finding a gun on him made
that the pretext for booking him at the
Jail. May furnished bonds for his ap-
pearance and was released.
Blanche Stone and Della Smith. two
scrappy Mercury street women, indulg-
ed in a lively fistic encounter last even
ing, with the result that both brought
up in jail. 1t appears that Blanche lives
at a house run by Laura Hood, who
got tired of seeing the girl give all her
earnings to her secretary, one Lejoi,
and fired him. Della, who supports the
fellows brother, interceded in Lejoi's
behalf and the circumstance led to a
ruction in which Blanche served Della
as Jeffries did FitZ. Blanche also had
friends who came to her rescue and
bailed her out of Jail, while Della was
less popular and was compelled to
ianguish in Jail.

Saturday night for petit larceny, is ac-

About 200 people witnessed a rather
uninteresting ball game between the
court house and Butte Reduction works
mines at Athletic park yesterday after
noon. The court house won by score

game were two home runs by Myrtle
and one by Mcbride, both of the court
house club McBride's hit was some
thing rather unusual in baseball, as it
came at time when the bases were all
full and netted four runs for his team.

BUTTE IS WELL FIXED
Has Many Pleasure Resorts Close

They Cannot Be Eclipsed In Any Part
Of the Country-All of the Attrac-
tons Necessary for
Pleasant Outing.

Judging by the great number Of peo-
pie who left the city yesterday morn
ing for the several resorts not far from
Butte, it would appear that this city
is not devoid of pleasure attractions. 1t
is true that one must get outside of the
city to find pleasure in the resorts and
picnic grounds. The city proper does
not furnish these attractions. Neither
do great many other cities. But If a
person wants to spend Sundaylin the
green hills or at the springs, all he has
to do is jump on the cars, the street
cars, a, bike or horse AND he can reach
the spot desired in few minutes.
There are the Pipestone, Gregson,
Boulder, Hunters. Warm Springs, CO.
lumbia gardens, Anaconda park. Deer
Lodge park and other places, all within
easy distance of this city.
An attorney, who has Travelled extern
sively over the West, said yesterday
that he had visited nearly every water
ing place in the West, that he had
spent several days at each. They are
all beautiful spots" he said. Just the
kind of places to suit mans fancy.
He can enjoy the waters, the scenery,
the boat rides, the baths and all. Now,
is just about as good as the other when
you consider the benefits to be derived
by the visit. 1t matters not where am

sound citiesI always go out to the
resorts to enjoy whatever they offer
They all satisfy the desire for a change.
you will observe that the man who
lives in one city always sees great ad-
vantages and benefits in the attractions
and resorts of the other city. That per-
son is in need of change of altitude or
scenery. Take him off to any other
city and let him spend few days at
the springs and mountain resorts near
that city, and his desire will be salts
fed. Let him try all of them, send him
! to every resort in the West and then
send him home, and he will study
long time before he can give you posi-
| tive answer as to his opinion of the
most desirable place he has visited.
Take the Butte citizen who has seen
| all there is to be seen of the resorts in
| the West. He will go out to the sew
| eral springs and parks in Montana and

Vice President Bancroft of the Ore
gon Short Line stated to Salt Lake
Herald reporter that the lines that the
engineers are now running with view
OF putting Boise on the main line would
leave the present main line somewhere
near Orchard, probably between Or
chard and Kuna. 1t cannot be definite
ly stated where the line will begin, or
at what point beyond Boise it will con-
meet with the main line. The engineers
are under instructions to thoroughly ex-
plore the country and find the most
feasible route, then, if the route is prac-
t1cable and satisfactory, the change will
be made
gentleman who has been over that
country several times, and who is
thoroughly familiar with the lay of
the land, said that while the country
is rather steep in places, it would be
an easy matter to get good grade.
On their return to Salt Lake Presi-
dent w. D. Cornish, Vice President
Bancroft and General Traffic Manager
S. w. Eccles stated that there was
nothing significant in their Butte visit
and talk with Northern Pacific officials
Only traffic matters and operating
agreements were discussed.
Mr.. Bancroft says that work on the
st. Anthony line will commence yery
soon. The contracts will be let posi-
bly, this week, after which nothing will
prevent the early commencement of
grading. Nothing has been decided
upon in relation to any other matters,
he said.
The Short Line and Oregon Railway
& Navigation company have reached an
understanding concerning the use of in
Interchangeable mileage tickets and it
was decided that hereafter all 3000-mile
tickets will be used Interchangeable.
This news will be hailed with joy by all
travelling men using these lines, as it is
something which they have long de.
sired.

MERCHANTS PROTEST
Against Bill Restricting Highway
 Rights of New Corporations.

] The board of directors of the State 1 Business Mems association held their regular meeting in room 14 Insurance building from 3 to 5 yesterday after noon. The meeting was called by Presi- dent Harry Leigh for the purpose of looking over the bills of the association and conferring as to certain matters to be brought before the legislature in the
 interests of the organization. One matter that called forth a pro- test from the merchants was the pass ! age of the bill prohibiting the use of highways to new corporations and the following resolution was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the executive board of the State Business Mems as sociation protests against the passage of the proposed bill in the legislature
 by which the use of highways would be prohibited to new corporations.
 In adopting the resolution nearly all the directors present had something to say on the question: and the opinions of all were that the passage of such bill would grant monopoly to exist ing corporations that would be preju- dicial to the best interests of the citizens and the state
 Another question brought up was that of curtailing state expenses along the lines suggested by a special legislative committee recently. The opinion of the meeting was that the suggestions of the committee should not have been dis cussed in such a summary manner; and the question will be again brought up before the legislature by the merchants so that action may be again taken upon it two years hence.
 An assessment for the defraying of current expenses was levied upon all the state organizations by the board.
 An interesting communication was that of the Waterbury merchants, who stated that in consequence of deter mined and united stand by the mer- chants of that town the trading stamp business there had been effectually squealched.
 The directors present were: A. J. Cable, II. H. Jackson, Bridgeport; T. H. Hewitt, J. B. Mullen, Waterbury; c. c. Perkins, Eben Avery, New London: r. T. Lawton South Norwalk and Henry H. Guernsey and Harry Leigh, New New Haven.
