Now that James J.. Hill is in favor of a
union depot for Butte, it becomes only a
matter of time.
It is the belief of the Inter Mountain
that all h eother railroads have long been
willing and anxious to join hands in the
project. It will save them much, money
every year besides saving the public
much annoyance. It is a business propo-
sition. There is not a city in the United
States having the tonnage Of Butte that
has not a Union depot. It has ecom a
crying necessity. Every man who goes
and m wonders why we have no
Union depot. The trouble Of checking
baggage from one depot to another has
assumed the proportions of an outrage.
Sixty-fve thousand people demand q
Union depot and now that Mr.. Hill has

prise, we are going to have one. s..
