ent citizen Of Montana, who had
played a conspicuousp part In upbuild-
ing the state, passed away to-day,
when the grim reaper claimed Hon.

sudden and the news that came over

duced a profound shock In Helena,
where he had large interests and was
very well known as an honorablea and
upright man. Mr.. Filing was In the
best OF health last Saturday, Last
Sunday evening he complained Of n
chill. This was the inception OF acute
pneumonia which carried him away
at n quarter past one this afternoon.

in 1912 and was therefore y years
Of age. He came to Montana from
st. Joseph, Mo-, in 1854, without any
capital except few dollars, honesty
and energy. He localed in Virginia
City, %embarking IN the clothing bus
mess. In 1872 he started n bank and
the Filing State bank Of that city is
still one of the solid financial institu-
tons of the state. Mr.. Ellingengaged
in other business beside banking and
the mercantile business. He dabbled
successfully in mining and prOspered
in the stock business. He seemed to
have success in everything he under
took.

MANY GO 70 The COAST
SECOND DAY OF HOMEsEEKERS'
RATES SHOWS LARGE CROWDS
GOING WEST
ESTIMATES OF NUMBERS VARY
Greater Proportion of Tourists on
Special Trains Go to the Pa
ciRc--AIl From Middle
West.

There seems To be a difference in opin-
ion among the railroad men as to the
numbers that have taken advantages of
the low rates TO the West on the three
Northern roads One prominent official
of one of the three interested lines yes
terday stated that it would be con-
sentative estimate to place the total
number of tourists for Tuesday and We'd
nesday on all trains run by the three
roads, Great Northern, Northern Paci-
f1c and SEQ. at from 5000 to 1000, while
another leading official would reduce
this number to 500 at the most. The gen.
eral impression a the Union depot, where
the travellers have been seen passing
through or embarking for their West
ern destinations, is that the first number
is nearer correct, with perhaps reduc-
ton of LOCO from the minium.s
The greater percentage of these tourists
are going to Montana further West, in
stead of the intervening territories as
has been given out. Probably So per cent
of those who left on the Great Northern
specials went to Montana or further
West. while very large proportion of
the Northern Pacific's special train oc-
cupants took the same course.
Not only the Northwest is being filed
with homeseekerS just at present, but
the same is also true of the Southwest.
Reports from Chicago state that yes
terday, the last day upon which cheap
rates were sold to Kansas and Nebraska,
the crowds for these places were ire
mendous, while as many more left for the
territory still south of this.
The emigration seems to be small
from the central East. Most of it is
coming from the Middle states, of Michi-
gan, Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana and
of course Minnesota.

Traffic Associations Will Grant Low
Fares to RufTaIO's Fair

Fares to BufaIO's Fair.
BUFFALO. N. Y, Oct. 1.-THE general
passenger and ticket agents were astir
early this morning. A member of the
association said when asked if the con-
vention would fix the Pan-American
rates, replied:
''The matter of reduced rates to be
granted the travelling public during the
Pan-American exposition, While deeply
interesting to the traffic managers of
all the lines in the country will not come
directly before the general passenger and
ticket agents. Such a mattr of fares has
to be decided by the traffic associations
and Pan-American rates rest with COM
mittee from the trunk line and central
associations, those two bodies compris-
ing the lines between New York and
Chicago. The committee has not as yet,
but it is probable the rates granted will
be similar to those granted Chicago"
The last business session was called
to order by President Daniels. The re-
port of the conditions upon the issuance
of a common sheet on passenger rates
and divisions was approved and the
scheme published by G. F. Bagley, gen
eral agent of the Colorado Midland, was
recommended.
The proposition to make a minimum
rate of a fare and one-third for all con-
ventions between June l and Aug. 81,
each year, failed of approval.
The question of substituting printed
for brass checks for baggage was dis
cussed at length and finally tabled.
