r.. R. COMMISSION
LAUDS GREAT NORTHERN

The following plimentary let
ter to the Great Northern Railroad
company ,on the condition of its road
bed, equipment, and its progressive
policy, has been received by Supt.
Smith from the state board of rail-
way commissioners:
Dear Sir: Pursuant to arrange
ments, the commission made an in
spection trip of all the tracks of the
Great Northern within the state, ex-
cept the Sweetgfass and Rexford
branches. leaving Butte Monday
morning,June 10, returning to Great
Falls Saturday the Gath, accompan-
led by the operating and traffic de-
partment representatives over the
entire trip.
Eve are much pleased and in
debted to the railroad officials in
charge, for the expeditions manner
in which our special train was han
died. The arrangements could not
have been improved upon to sec
the entire road by daylight in SO
short a space of time. 1t afforded
the comissicn an excellent opportun-
ity to familiarize themselves, not
only with the physical condition Of
the railway, but view the prospects
for an abundant harvest in all sec
tons of the state traversed by your
line. The trip was highly interest
ing and instructive.
1T is to be regretted that more
people of your state and in fact
without the state, could not avail
themselves to see for themselves
the amount of efficient work that
has been done by the Great North
ern Railway company in the past
few years, in the way of improving
its rOadbed and track to a high
standard, capable of handling fast
trains and the most modern type Of
power. Terminals and station
grounds are conspicuous by their
order and cleanliness, and the lack
Of tonnage moving at this particular
time is much to be regretted. We
hope that this is forthcoming when
the present seasons crop is ready
for movement.
The commission finds no reason
to criticise your railroad. On the
contrary, we find much worthy of
commentator. The Great Northern
within the state of Montana is in
good hands, and the commission
feels that the time is not far dis
tant when the new territory now be-
ing settled up, will furnish a remu-
nerative tonnage for all branches
of the system. We will use our in
fluence SO far as possible to have
the Indian reservations thrown OPP
en- to settlement which embrace, as
they do, an immense area of the fin
est land in the state"
The same letter which was signed
by the Railroad Commission of Mon
tana, was sent to all the superin-
tendents, thanking them personally
for the courteous treatment and
consideration accorded the commits
sion on it trip.

TELEGRAPH OPERATORS
THREATEN TROUBLE

The telegraph operators along
the Northern Pacific are becoming
considerably agitated over the fact
that telephones are being installed
on that system also, the same as
en- the Great Northern, which
threatens to cut out a number OF
telegraphers, filling the positions
with cheaper help. At Missoula
the officers of the Order of Railway
Telegraphers held a big meeting at
which the matter was thoroughly
aired.
The principal matters under dis
cussion were in regard to the gen
eral revision of the telegraphers
schedule that is now before the Of
ficers of the Northern Pacific, and
special reference to the schedule
for telephone operators. who will
soon be required to operate the tel.

the telephone operators should be
placed upon the same schedule Of

with Mr Moffat at the time OF his
death was William G. Evans of this
city. who has been the mainstay of
Mr.. Moffat in his railroad building
and other enterprises for a number OF
years. They went to New York last
December to close up certain deals
connected with the Moffat road.
The many enterprises with which
the name of Mr.. Moffat has been as
ISOLATED will go forward as IL nothing
had happened. He left his affairs in
excellent shape. For several years
Mr. Moffat has not taken an active
part in business: he left that to 9TH
ers. Thus. in the Moffat railroad
matters Mr.. Evans has had charge: in
the banking business. Fred G. Moffat
and Thomas keely have relieved Mr..
Moffat OF most OF the cares: and his
other interests were in equally capa-
BILE hands Mr. Moffat left a large
fortune yariously estimated at from
sI0.0O0.0O0 to s12.000.00 but this at
best Is an estimate as Mr.. Moffat had
so many enterprises so widely scat
tered. that even his closest friends
and business associates and lawyers
cannot make an exact statement of his
wealth.
The Moffat road. which was the
crowning achievement OF a most ac-
tive life. at the time OF its builders
death is in such condition financially
and otherwise as to ensure it's COM
pletion. As It stands It is more than
paying its way. Some years back Mr..

took over the responsibility and fur
nished the funds. although at the
time OF his death Mr.. Moffat con-
trolled the stock OF the road. Railroad
interests which the banking firm rep
resented. believed to be the Hill-Mor>
gan combination, have been arrang-
ing with the Moffat representatives
to continue construction of the road
and to build n tunnel. These negotia-
tions will be continued as IL Mr.. Mof-
fat had lived. as Mr.. Evans has rep
resented him fully for more than a
year In railroad business.
As with the Moffat road. so with
the great banking institution of which
Mr. Moffat was the head. Mr.. Moffat
has not been able to give his atten-
ton to the bank details for years and
he has been absent from Denver
great deal OF the time. His other in
terests in Denver and elsewhere en-
trusted to chosen lieutenants. It
may be some time before the vacan-
cies are filled in the number of COM
panies which he headed. Generally
speaking for the last half dozen years
Mr.. Moffat has leaned largely upon
Mr.. Evans and has been guided by his
advice. From the time that Mr.. Mof-
fat became interested In the Tramway
