naford was heard to pay a high trib.
ute to the men whom they were meet
ing, referring to them as pioneers and
community builders, who had come
here when only sage brush and the
native animals helu sway and reclaim
ed the valley and built a city. He
said that they were entitled to every
courtesy and consideration the COM
pany was able to extend to them.
The matter of a daily train service
from Billings to Cody and the interme-
date places in the Big Horn valley
was talked over. While that was a
subject hardly within the province OF
Mr.. Elliott, still he manifested a live
ly interest in it and agreed that the
people at either end of the road we're
entitled to better service than they are
now receiving.
Left Good Impression.
AS before stated, there was no at
tempt to discuss any subject in a set
manner and no speeches wer made.
Everything was talked owe informal
ly and every person who had a sug-
gestion to offer vas cordially received
and given pleasant hearing. Many
things were mentioned and to attempt
a recital of all that was said or the
different topics discussed would be i'm
possible. Those who met Mr.. Elliott
were pleased with his agreeable man
ners and his apparent interest in ev-
erything pertaining to the improve
ment of the community by aid and

Depot Not Overlooked.

After the formal introductions both
the hosts and guests assumed easy
attitudes of informal discussion and
about every subject of interest to
the company and community was gone
over. OF course, the matter nearest
to the hearts of every citizen of Bill
ings when the Northern Pacific is IN
der consideration-the necessity for a
new passenger station-was not over
looked. Mr.. Elliott and some of the
others with him were made to under
stand the great store set by Billings
people to such an institution and the
opportunity was not overlooked to i'm
press upon him and the rest the bene-
fit it would prove to both sides. At
tention was called to the utter made
quacy of the present facilities for the
accommodation of passengers, not to
say anything of the unsightliness OF
the structure that by courtesy has
been called the Northern Pacific pas
senger depot" during all the years
that have elapsed since Billings ceas-
ed to be a mere way station and de-
veloped into the richest and most i'm
portant city in eastern Montana.
Mr.. Cooper seemed to agree with
those who made representations to
him, but with the conservatism char
acteristic of men in his position made
no direct promises. He said that the
appropriation for improvements for
1903 had become exhausted and that
nothing could be done this year. While
this was expected, those who heard
the gentleman took new courage and
hope from his manlfestly friendly feel
ing and His realization of the justice
of the request. He said that the ques-
ton had been considered by the com
pany and that undoubtedly something
would be done within a reasonable
time in the direction of granting the
wishes of the people or the city.
Pledged to Irrigation.
MI. Hannaford spoke considerably
about irrigation and showed himself
to be in the possession of much infor-
nation regarding the subject as apply
ing to the immediate vicinity of Bill
ings and the section of the valley trib-
utary to the city. Both he and Nj.
Elliott stated that the company they
represented was committed to the
cause of irrigation. and would do all
it could. to further national legislation
to aid in the development
of the west, with especial reference
to the reclamation of the arid and
semi-arid lands.
In speaking to Mr.. Elliott MI. Han

GOOD IMPRESSION
Mr.. Elliott and Other Officials Meet
Representative Men Of
the City.

Both visitors and visited seemingly
derived much pleasure from the infor-
NAL meeting at the rooms of the Bill
ings club Sunday afternoon, when the
commercial committee of the club did
the honors for President Elliott and
the other officials of the Northern Pa
cifc, who passed through the city.
The affair vas purely informal and
afforded an opportunity for the new
head of the railroad to meet many OF
the prominent citizens of Billings and
men whose yearly shipping bills
amount to no small contribution to it's
treasury.
When it was learned here that Mr..
Elliott intended to make a trip over
the road, Henry White, secretary OF
the committee, extended an invitation
to him to visit the club and form
the acquaintance of the people OF
Billings. An acceptance was received
and last Saturday Mr.. White was noti-
fed that the Elliott party would prob
ably arrive mere at 4 o'clock Sunday
and make a short stay, as
the schedule arrange. prevented more
than a brief visit.

A FoRLORN HOPE.

Those who are considerate
of the we'll being of society
and guard with a jealous eye
the good name of South Caro-
lima had cherished the hope
that the day had passed in this
state when the unlawful she'd
ding of human blood, even by
those in high position, would
go unavenged. This, how
ever, has become a forlorn
hope, a delusive phantom
Furthermore, ii is needless to
expect realization OF this
ideal condition as long as there
are some men who will swear
by the Holy Book and straight
way perjure themselves; as
long as there are incompetent,
if not dishonest, jurors, and
as long as designing and un-
scrupulous lawyers, who are
a disgrace to the honorable
profession, clog the wheels OF
Justice.
