tobacco to act useful part In enabling

conda. composed of delegates from 26
different unions, is representative Of
more than 5000 laboring men in and about
the city. To this council is taken the
troubles of the union or of the individual
,laboling man, as the case may be, and
there Is yet to be reported an instance
in which the matter be it trivial or of
Importance, that has not been satis-
factorily settled without publicity or
scandal.
The council meets the first Monday of
every month in secret session to transact
business and other matters that may
come before it.
There was time when 1t was pro-
posed to make the meetings open to the
general public, but after a short trial
this proved satisfactory to the union
men and the members are now endeav-
ortng to conduct the meetings in such
manner as to attract as little attention
as possible.
It is by request of the officers of the
Central Labor Council that the Inter
Mountain refrains from going into the
details of organized labor in Anaconda
and vicinity.

Of four carriers and five clerks.
The Anaconda office ranks as second
class. There is but one first-class Office
in the state, that being located in Butte.
Aside from the usual routine postal busi-
ness in town of this size the money
order and registry business of the Ana
t;onda' Office form special feature.
Thousands Of dollars are sometimes
taken in daily vt the money order WIN

The registry business of this Office is
second to that of only. one office of the
state. The one in Butte with the added
advantage of mali car between Butte
and Anaconda, the local Office is enabled
to handle the matter much more rapidly
than formerly.
Every year during the holiday season
it becomes NEG ssavy 10 increase the
working force in the otice that the mail
may be distributed with the usual
rapidity ana The pr;,!!c receive and send
the many thousands or presents that an

proud of their postoft,ce and of the ex-
cellent manner in which that institution

BUTTE, ANACONDA
=, & PACIFIC RAILROAD

Small but yet Giant" is what
can be said truthfully of the Butte, Ana
conda & Pacific railway, the only road
which connects Anaconda with the out
side world.
1t Is distinctly a home institution;
creation of the one industry which has
made Montana famous-mining.
Like the smelters of this city, the
road owes its existence to the mines of
Butte.
Altogether the B., A. & p. owns and
has leased 100 miles of trackage, TAG
miles of which is of main lines: the
balance consists of switches and spurs
In the way of traffic it Is doubtful il
there Is another road in the United
States, in comparison to it's size, that
enjoys the earning capacity of this one.
1t is a wonder in that regard and is
equal to the larger lines in the way of
perfect organization. The various de-
partments are separated and placed in
charge of thoroughly competent heads.
The official personnel of the operating
department consists OF the following
gentlemen, who have devoted almost
their entire life to railway work and
hence are thoroughly competent and in
touch with all it's details:
M. s. Dean, vice president and gen
eral manager; Hugh Spencer, general
superintendent; p. M. Halloran, treas
urer and auditor; L. c. Thomas, general
freight and passenger agent; M. Kings
ley, trainmaster and assistant superin-
tendent: P. H. Hayes, chief train dis
patcher; F. A. Jones. chief engineer.
During the past year and since the
road has been under the present capable
management, many changes and i'm
provements have ben noted. Much new
track has been laid, brought about for
the most part on account of the con-
struction of the new reduction plant.
For the new works line 1874 miles have
been constructed. besides several addi-
tional yard tracks. Two main line
changes of considerable importance
were made in the way of the straighten-
ing and cutting out Of certain main line
curves, which were not helpful to the
moving of heavy trains.
Prior to this year there were along
the line a number of wooden bridges
and trestles; these have all been either
