MADE THINGS PLEASANT
Salt Lake People Know How to Treat
Their Guests - The Visitors
We're Royalty En-
tertained.

| Salt Lake yesterday afternoon, and all
say they had a splendid good time. The
Short Line people and the railroad men
at Salt Lake made thing pleasant for
the visitors from Butte. The people
down there have way of doing such
a thing properly. Major Dawson got
more fun out Of the trip than any one
else in the party. He says there is no
place like Salt Lake and no railroad
like the Short Line. Upon the arrival
of the Butte visitors at Salt Lake they
were met by committee from the
| traffic association of that city ana
taken in carriages to a hotel and from
| that time on until the start on the re-
| turn trip to Butte the visitors were
| royalty entertained.
| A meeting of the Butte club was held
| in Salt Lake Saturday. 1t is understood
| to be the intention TO have the SAT-
| Lake club visit Butte later in the sea-
| son.
| The Butte men furnished the Sunday
| Salt Lake papers subjects for a num-
| her Of caricatures. Wilson Of the Short
| Line. Sloan the demurrage man, Cliff
| ford of the Union Pacific, Archibald
| Gray, Major Dawson, Con. ST. Clair,
| Steifel and Talbot, were all pictured
in fiattering style. The Tribune, in its
account of the movements of the Wis
| itors in Salt Lake on Saturday says:
1.-The Great Northern sleeper Butte
arrived from Butte yesterday morning.
| 1t was filed with the beauts' of
| Butte's railroad circles, alias the Butte
| Railway Traffic club. 1t was happy
| party of freight and passenger men,
with enough ladies to lend a proper
| amount of dignity and to keep the
| too interested in the whirl of Zion life.
! The visit to Salt Lake was gotten up
| as a vacation trip, and also to enable
| the Montana men to become better ac-
| quainted with the Ogden gateway and
| Salt Lake route. The Oregon Short
| Line rendered the visitors all courte
sizes, as did the Salt Lake & Los An
geles, and that their Stay was a pleas
ant one goes without saying.
THE ladies of the party were Mes
danes Healey, Potter, Clifford, Dan
iels. Wilson, Kinney, Talbot, Merriman,
Mcbride Leonard and Sloan; Misses
Smith, Emily Whitney, Jeffries, Pierce
and Radwin. They were entertained
by all the Salt Lake railroad men, the
latter being represented as committee
by f. B. Choate of the Union Pacific,
c. F. Warren of the Santa Fe and b. II.
Nevins of the Denver & Rio Grande,
whose work as managers was crowned
with success. The Montana party
voted the day one of great pleasure,
| and leave for home with high regard
! for Salt Lakes hospitality"
The Herald has the following to say
about the members of the Butte Traf-
| fics club
1.-The Butte Railway Traffic club ar
rived in Salt Lake yesterday morning.
The organization comprises all of the
general agents and freight agents of
Montana. They were accompanied by
wives and sweethearts, and travelled in
the special car Butte, which had been
kindly furnished by the Great Northern
for the occasion. The visitors came
down to hold a short traffic meeting
and indulge in a junketing trip, and to
all appearances they had been boxed,
packed and loaded in good condition at
Butte, as they all appeared to be ready
for anything the Salt Lake boys had in
store for them. They were met at the
station by committee representing the
Salt Lake Traffic club and driven to the
Knutsford, where refreshments were
served. Then followed a drive about
town, and an organ recital at the tab
ernacle, after which they returned to
the Knutsford for lunch. Then short
executive session of the Traffic club
was held in the hotel parlors. 1t has
leaked out that during this meeting
committee consisting of Con st. Clair,
general agent of the o. r. & N; ]. E.
Liebe, contracting freight agent of the
Union Pacific, and Phil Daniels, gen.
eral agent of the Burlington, made a
critical examination of the members
with reference to rule No. 90 which
states that Members may be charged
with malt extract and other bever-
ages only to their marked capacity
AT Ais in the afternoon the special
car Butte was attached to the Saltair
train, through the courtesy of General
Manager Clayton, and the party went
out to the beach, where they enjoyed a
bath. After the bath the party re-
paired to the car for few minutes to
watch Major Dawson roll some high
balls and to listen to Charles Clifford,
general agent of the Union Pacific,
sing I've Got Baby of My own.
About this time Jack Reeves called
out that rule No II would be enforced,
which reads: Members will be re-
CURED to load and unload themselves.
Derricks will be provided only in case
of emergency And the party sur
rounded long table behind the ropes,
which was spread with all of the deli
cacies that the beach affords. At the
table Archibald Gray, A. G. T. A. of the
Great Northern, made very neat
speech.
after the spread was demolished,
the party adjourned upstairs, where
they enjoyed themselves dancing until
the 10:15 train brought hem to the city.
Some of the party will visit Garfield
Beach to-day, while others will attend
the services at the Tabernacle. They
return to Butte tonight.
Mrs. Wilson was chaperone.
1.-THE poker game lasted until 2:S0 yes
terday morning. Clifford of the Union
Pacific got all the cash.
THE association was safe when it
made the rule that tanks will be re-
turned free when found empty The
rule was not referred to.
THE rules We're gotten up for the
hayward, of whom Wilson was not the
only one.
''Steifel sidetracked to change clothes
three times during the day.
More than one took advantage of
rule 8, which says: When members
are trotting under false colors in order
to deceive their wives or sweethearts
and it is found that they have succeed
ed, they will be presented with a medal
of honor by the club, and their meth
