BUSINESS MEN TO HELP.

The Business Mems association is going
to make a canvass of the town for the
aid of the Galveston sufferers. A sys-
tematic movement along those lines was
inaugurated last evening at the meeting
of the Business Mems association. 1t
was decided to make an appeal to the
citizens of Butte to extend the hand of
charity to the grief-stricken people of
Texas and it was arranged that all
money donated for that purpose shall be
deposited with Mr.. Q. Hight, president of
the Business Mems association.
The matter was brought up by William
Horgan and all others present at the
meeting last night We're enthusiastic over
the matter: they were unanimous in the
opinion that something should be done
by the citizens of this city; that they
should act quickly and show to the world
that Butte is just as generous in time
of need as other cities in the country
are. :.
Committees We're appointed to begin
the canvass of the several wards of the
city and the precincts OF Walkerville,
Centervlle and Mealerville.
The committees will begin their work
to-day and are to report their progress
at a special meeting of the association
to he held next Monday night. The fol-.
lowing appeal to the public was drafted
by Judge w. o. Speer and William Hor-
gan:
To the people of the city Of, Butte and
vicinity:
The Business Mems association realiz-
ing the great calamity that has befallen
the city of Galveston and its people. ap-
peals to all charitaibly disposed persons
to contribute as literally as possible to
fund to alleviate the suffering and dis
tress of that stricken community.
The following committees have been
appointed by this association for the pur-
pose of soliciting funds:
East of Main and south of Broadway.

President Business Mems Association.
Attest: J. T. O'Brien. Secretary.
Those present We're anxious to hear
what the railroads are going to 90 ABOUT
building a union depot in Butte. Judge
Speer as chairman of the committee hav-
ing the matter in charge made his re-
port, stating that the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern had both been sur
veying the ground for the purpose OF as
certaining the cost of such improve
ments. These two roads are favorable TO
the proposition, he was quite sure, and
the matter is yet to be brought before
the officials Of the Oregon Short Line.
If the roads entering Butte can find easy
approaches to a suitable site for union
depot the judge thought there would be
M question about the depot being built.
Until the managers Of the road are
heard from, however. there is nothing
that the association can do towards get
ting franchises for the depot project.
