REGULAR SERVICE TO SHELBY.
Great Falls, Mont, October s.
Plans are being made by the Off
Gals OF the Montana Central to in
augurate a new train service on the
Montana & Great Northern out Of this
city to Shelby and other Teton coun-
ty points about the middle of the
month, whereby an exclusive passen-
ger train will be operated instead of
the present slow schedule combina-
ton freight and passenger train.
The passenger traffic on this branch
of the system has grown to very largo
proportions in the past year and the
volume of business, also taking into
consideration the freight traffic, has
made it necessary that traia be put
in service for the handling of the pas
senger business exclusively.
The present train service is very
slow and almost an entire day is con-
sumed in the trip between this city
and Virden, the terminal point of that
line beyond Shelby
1t is now planned to put on pas
senger train which will make the trip
to Virden and return each day of the
week, excepting Sundays, and 1t Is
thought possible that the new sched-
ule will go into effect on Oct. IA.
If the present plans are adopted.
the train will leave Great Falls at
11:55 a. m. each day, making the trip
to Virden in four hours. and, return
ing, to reach Great Falls at $3.50 p.
m.
The change will be OF great benefit
to the business men of Great Falls
as we'll as to the travelling public of
this city and Teton county and will
do away with the slow and tiresome
ride which the patrons of that line
are now compelled to experience.
With the changing of this service
change will also be made in the sched-
ule of the Neihart branch. On the
14th inst. the winter schedule on that
branch will be resumed and the trains
will leave Great Falls on Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays, returning
from Neihart on Tuesdays, Thursdays
and Saturdays. instead Of as present.
A change will be also made in the
running time of that train. and it will
leave Neihart at Z o'clock to enable
it to connect with the Shelby train,
leaving at 1855 a. m.
1t is also probable that the time of
east bound thrt ugh train No. 236.
from Butte to Ha IRE. will be changed
a few minutes to ..llow 1t to get into
Great Falls a few minutes earlier. 1t
Is unlikely that thu leaving time Of
this train will be altered, the change
being made to enable the train to
make a longer stop at this point
