AMONG RAILROAD MEN
Low Vacation Rates to the East
in Effect.
TRAINS WILL BE CROWDED
Northern Pacific Extension to the Bear
Creek Coal Mines-A New Move
by the Burlington
Road.

The special low vacation rates east,
on all railroads, will be in effect to-day,
and several hundred people from Butte
alone will take advantage of them, and
to-day and tomorrow outgoing trains
will be crowded to their capacity. Ex-
ira Pullmans will be put on by several
of the roads. Among the excursionists
will be a large number of teachers,
many of whom will go east over the
Short Line and Rio Grande Western,
or Union Pacific. The Northern Pacific
and Burlington will also carry a large
number of travellers who are taking ad
vantage of the low rates. Tickets will
be on sale only to-day and tomorrow,
but will be good returning until Sep
TENDER A.. The round trip rate to Oma-
ha, Kansas City and all Missouri river
points is SAP: to st. Louis $40 so, and to
Chicago $685.
Definite information is difficult to OBJ
tain, but from all indications is is alto
gether probable that the Bridger
branch of the Northern Pacific railroad
will this summer be extended to the
famous Bear creek coal mines of Car
bon county, says the Billings Gazette.
The holders of Bear creek stock in Bill
ings, who represent about Is per cent Of
the stock of the Montana Coal and Lon
company, which owns the mines, nave
been very active for several weeks mast.
They are reticent about giving out in
formation, but there is surely 'some-
thing in the wind
THE presence in Billings of A. G.
Hooley of New York city, the represen
tative of Elijah Smith and other cap
italists owning the controlling interest
in the Bear creek properties, gives color
to this belief. He arrived in this city
about two months ago; has since made
a trip to New York and returned, and
is still very busy and active. The an
nual meeting of the company will be
held in this city on the 18th instant,
and then, probably, there will be some
definite news about the enterprise.
THE distance from Bridger to Bear
creek is only about Is miles and the
railroad could be built in go days. The
grade is an easy one, too, and the fact
that General Manager Kendrick of the
Northern Pacific, with other officials,
recently visited Bridger and drove to
Bear creek is also significant. Mike
Gilmore, the contractor, who built the
Bridger branch last year, has also been
around Billings for several weeks.
Without wishing to disparage in any
manner the other Carbon county coal
mines, it is we'll known that those at
Bear creek are far ahead of any of
them, both as to the quality and guam
tity of the coal. If a railroad is built
to them, Bear creek will be a big camp
and it's development will naturally help
Billings. For years the opening up of
these mines has been anticipated and
the hopes of those interested we be-
lieve, are now about to be realized

SHOALS OF |NF|DEL|Ty
Rev. e. 0. Tilburn at the Church
of Christ.
AN ELOQUENT ADDRESS
The First of Series of Sermons on That
Subject-Inf1delity of the Col
lege, Pulpit and
Pew.

Rev. E. o. Tilburn of the Church of
Christ preached an interesting sermon
last night on Rocks and Shoals, or In
fidelity Against Itself" The sermon was
the first of series upon which the pas
tor will discourse in June, the others to
be Can the Bible be Destroyed, or In
fidelity of the College, Pulpit and Pew"
THE Age of Reason From Christian
Standpoint" "Why I am Not Protest
ant"
Mr.. Tilburn has been in charge Of the
local church but a short time, but his
worth as a Christian educator is being
demonstrated by his logical discourses
and the very favorable impression he is
making upon his rapidly growing con-
gregation. The membership of the
church is rallying to the support of
their minister. The pastor recently
went East and brought his wife back
with him and here they will make their
permanent home.
For his text last night Rev. Mr.. Til
burn read the 31st verse of the 32nd
chapter of Deuteronomy. For their
rock is not as our rock, even our
enemies themselves being judges" In
part he said:
ut has been said that hope is the
fundamental principle of progress, the
guiding star of life, the rudder of life's
bark upon the sea of time The scriptures
present the things written of olden time
as intended for our learning that we
through patience and comfort of the
scriptures might have hope (Rom.
XIV, ~, and again we learn man saved
by hope, it being as an anchor of the
soul, both sure and steadfast,' said an
Choir holding fast in the consolation
and refuge found in Gods promises
fHeb. vi, 1919. Trusting in God we
have hope, and I may say, all hope is
based on promise and established in
faith.
TT is perfectly natural to hope The
day. though dark and dreary, holds the
hope of sunshine by and by. The life
though oppressed and effort seemingly
futile, looks forward to a time when
something better shall crown life with
the palm of victory. So experience
teaches us the truth of revelation, and
the future holds that for us which we
hope for, and in hope patiently wait
for. The most certain destroyer of hope
is infidelity. 1t takes from human hope
the crutch of faith and replaces it with
sneer 1t condemns trust. demands
works and accomplishes nothing
1T is despicable thief, who not only
robs man of the present, but tilches
from him the future also. God knows,
the present day may be dark enough

TRlMBORN IN BOSTON.
The Missing Brewer Was Seen There by
Savage of Butte.

The Missing Brewer Was Seen There by
Savage of Butte.
The following regarding the missing
brewer of Great Falls appeared in the
New York Journal of May 30:
Joseph Trimborn, the missing
brewer of Great Falls, Mont, for whom
a reward of $500 has been offered in the
Journal, was seen in Boston last
Wednesday or Thursday. A dispatch
to the Journal last night said George
Savage of Butte, Mont, an old friend
of Mr.. Trimborn, had met him on a car
on Washington street Mr.. Trimborn
sat in a seat ahead of him and asked
Mr.. Savage to join him.
Mr.. Trimborn came here to meet his
wife about May l, and left the Grand
Union hotel, taking none of his belong
ings with him.
Nothing could be learned in Butte
yesterday, upon inquiry among persons
who would be likely to know, of any
George Savage of this city who might
be friend of Trimborn and who is at
present in the East, and so far as
known Trimborn has not yet been
heard of by his friends in Great Falls.

without making every day black and
gloomy, and this infidelity does.
Il would bring you hope tonight.
What mission more glorious, what mes
age more divine than to bring promise
of sunshine? This / would do. To give
you hope, we must present the fallacy
of that which would destroy it. Hence.
we present infidelity, its Inconsistencies,
its errors. by arraying its arguments
against itself. =
Few, indeed. vested with the conceit
which is the spirit of infidelity, care to
face the blackness of the night of de-
spair termed 'athesm'-for atheism is
black. Not a ray of hope penetrates
the depths of an eternal nothingness,
and this is atheism. Nothing is but
man and he becomes nothing. To the
poor wretch who has wrecked manhood
on the rock of appetite there is no hope,
nothing better than himself, and he is
nothing. The boy with bad habits has
no hope of anything but to grow worse,
for he is all in all to himself and is but
following the path he desires to fol-
low. Stand on your manhood is the
advice of the atheist. Determine to do
better he exhorts, but the victim of
animal desire knows the animal. and
realizes the carnal mind rules the car
nal nature.
knowledge of God as being comes
from the revelation of Himself in the
bible. Nowhere is the creator spoken
of as God but in the bible. Nowhere is
His mind and purposes revealed but in
the bible. Intuition may suggest, ma
ture may bear witness of power, but
the bible only gives knowledge. You
cannot believe in God without stacitly
accepting the scriptures. To deny one
is to deny the other.

CRIPPLE CREEK MINES
Review of the Situation by de
Putron Gliddon.
TOYING WITH MILLIONS
Exaggerated Stories of the Independence
Deal-Interest in Mining in
California Has In
creased.

After an absence from Butte Of seven
months de Putron Gliddon returned
here yesterday on the Northern Pa
cific train from the West. He has spent
the past months in Colorado and Cali
fornia, the company of which he is
president having offices both in Colo
RADIO Springs and San Francisco.
When asked by Standard represen-
tative as to whether the sale of the
independence had enlivened business in
Cripple Creek, he said: Il don't think
it has, for STATIONS Independence was
not sold for $10,000,0 900 cash, as was so
commonly reported and repeated by a
section of the Colorado press. Some of
the gentlemen who write for Colorado
newspapers seem to like to toy with
millions and talk glibly about those
figures; and it was very amusing to
read many of the articles about that
sale. One newspaper assured its read
ers that when $10,000000 crossed the At
lant1c 1T became an international event,
but they later on woke up to the fact
that the alleged sale of the Independ-
ence was merely a stock deal, in which
the owner agreed to put his mine and
about 80 acres SURROUNDING it into an
English company, incorporated for
Ell 100000 and he took full payment for
the mine in shares, no cash being paid
him. Quite a number of newspapers
have made the statement that this was
the largest sale of American mining
property ever contaminated But the
innocents abroad are ignorant, appar-
emily, of the fact that the most colossal
genuine sale of recent date occurred in
Montana, when the Exploration COM
pany, Limited, paid some millions of
money for an interest in the Anaconda
Copper company.
However, the much-vaunted and
over-trumpeted sale of the Independ-
ence ended in nothing more than the
incorporation abroad And now efforts
are being made to peddle the stock in
John Bulls right little, tight little
island.
But the greatness of Cripple Creek
increases constantly, and every sue
ceeding month shows substantial in
crease in the output of gold. The pro-
duction now can be conservatively
given as $1,500,000 per month.
How is business in California? Cen
orally speaking, it has improved Won
derfully, largely due to the rains and
also the growing trade with the Orient.
Mining on the great Mother Lode is
reviving again, and even the Comstock
is waking up. Both of these have a
record that for hugeness simply para
lyzes ones thoughts; for the Mother
millions of gold, while the Comstocks
total output is stated as being close to

name was Hub and that he was cashier
of the First National bank of Twin
Bridges and had just sold a mine Tor
$3.50, 000 Continuing, Jakobsen said:
He said some one would have to go
to Minneapolis or St. Paul to get them
cashed and he said that as / looked like
a good, honest man that he could trust,
he would give me $1,000 for expenses.
He asked me not to tell any one and l
did not even tell my wife. I never saw
a draft before and ] did not know what
to do with it until Hub told me-.
What will be done with Jakobsen is
not yet decided At the Central sta
ton he is charged with grand larceny
Manager Walker of the Nico1let Cloth
ing company says, however, that having
recovered his property he does not par
ticularly care to prosecute the man.
The police are inclined to think that
Jakobsen has confederates, as they
hardly think him wise enough to have
prepared the drafts and certificates
even though the penmanship is very
poor and as each is made for S35, 900,
no one could be induced to cash them.
It is apparent that the paper has been
printed for the occasion. Jacobsen will
be held until his case can be more
thoroughly investigated"

tie. It is asserted that Gray was kick
ing up row at the Trilby lodging house
and when a female ledger protested he
drew a gun and threatened to shoot
b both her and her husband. Some one
blew a police whistle and Gray and the
Browning woman fell into the police
drag net.
There was trouble in the "Colud'
ciub last evening. Peter Ingram, "Du-
range Bud" and several other gentle
men OF color We're indulging in a game
OF craps. Peter lost with a little more
regularity than he thought ought to at
tend any mans luck in a game that
was strictly on the square Finally he
got hoid OF the dice and discovered they
We're loaded. Then there were "razors
a-nylng through the air. Peter went
after Durango. who tried to get away,
and only succeeded in saving his hide,
Tor Peter's weapon ripped his clothes
all the way down the back and clear
to the skin Had Peter been a bit
nearer, Durango would have been a
badly divided community. Peter then
got Durango's thumb in his mouth and
had executed fine piece of art chew
ing upon it before the other gentlemen
could separate the combatants. Peter
was arrested and booked at the city iail
for disturbance.
There was a notable absence Of sec
retaries from their usual haunts yester-
day and last night. The activity of the
police the night before had the effect of
convincing those who had not already
engaged quarters at Hotel de Reagan
that their constitutions required a little
country air. Some of the road houses
are accordingly being quite well patron
lied lust now.
