Twin City To Helena Tour

Paying tribute to James j. Hill as
! the greatest railroad man of all
time, ex-governor Brady of Idaho,
Saturday night at Helena gave cred
1t to the Great Northern railway for
developing the great northwest and
building up the state of Montana to
it's present stage of prosperity. He
declared that citizens in reciprocation
ought to stand by this railway and
give it every protection. At the ban
quet held on the veranda of Broad
water Hotel in honor of the Twin
City motorists the former executive
of the bordering state voiced the SEN
timents of local citizens who
have watched this commonwealth
grow since it was admitted to the UNI
ion. 1t was manifestly crowd of
boosters. Outside the veranda Of
the Broadwater grounds thousands
of people had gathered to listen to q
flow of Oratory such as has sell
dom if ever been heard in Helena.
All voiced optomism Of the most
pronounced kind. Amid great ell
thusiasm president H. &. Pickett of
the commercial club introduced Gov.
e. L. Norris Of Montana as the first
speaker. His appearance before the
throng brought forth round after

played "Long Live the King" There

give you as royal reception as we
have here tonight. But we need the
finances to develop this country and
we want you to bring wisdom and
money which is all that is needed to
make Montana the greatest state in

Helena tour was the most remarka-
BILE contest of it's kind that has ever
taken place. The scenery encounter
ed on the last afternoon was alone
worth the trip from the Twin Cities.
Passing through the Prickley Pear
canon a majority of tourists secured

mountains wonderful scenic beauty,
1t was thrilling motor ride. Tray

coasting for fifty miles over SER
pentine route into the gully Of the
great basin. they flew along the mar
row road into Helena without a mis-
hap. When they reached Helena the
universal opinion voiced was "I'm
sorry the tour is ended"
Great Falls, July 2S.-With the
president of the Great Northern rail-
way blazing the trail, the Twin City
Helena tourists came into this city
with colors flying. Louis W. Hill
picked up John Ebaueh, an old trail
master of Malta, scattered confetti
through the mountain trails, up the
hills, in the flats and winding here
and there mapped out the road.
This action of Mr.. Hill, who has
become extremely popular with the
travellers, furnished the sensation
of the trip. Pilot Harrington and
his crew had been overworked.
When they were obliged to seek the
foothills to avoid the soft muddy
roads of the fats from Malta to Hav-
re and had travelled to within twelve
miles of the Canadian line, they were
ready to give up. Some one had to
lay the route. Who would do it?
MI. Hill was told of the sad plight
confronting the tourists. They
feared an inexpe rienced man might
lead them off the route. Would he
not try and make arrangements for
some one to lead them into Helena?
Five minutes later Mr.. Hill's car
which had been loaded aboard the
tram at Malta to be shipped to G reat
Falls, was on the ground and the
motor running.
| Two bags filled with confetti were
unloaded and tied on behind and
away he went with the old trail blaz-
er, John Ebaugh. He kept we'll in
the lead of the tourists but marked
the way so we'll that none lost the
route. The railway pilot went into
the hills and his disappearing figure
was discernible for miles and miles
from the rear platform of the obser-
walton car, then was lost to view.
They would meet him when they
reached Great Falls or Helena and
extend the warm hand of welcom e.,
but Mr.. Hill would not give up the
chase after the fleeing train. Wind
ing his way with Mr.. Ebaugh at his
side through the hills he suddenly
emerged from the buttes near Port
Benton and was met by bowling
mob of men and women who chose

So, with the flight Of warmth, the

against his hero.

of the harm or death that might be
his own lot, but dwelt on the hurt
that might come to the girl, or on
the sorrow that would fall upon the
superintendent head. He thought of
his mother, and what would happen
to her if he failed to survive, and of
the end of all his glorious career. And
the drumming of the hoofs whipped
ever faster and faster as the pace in
creased.
Up from below, with bells tinkliRg
on the leaders, and driven by one who
carelessly whistled, came an ore
wagon. The whistle stopped abruptly,
and the driver was startled into ac-

the danger, and made instant choice.

The rapidity of previous panoramas
was outdone. Many things happened
at once. There was a sharp crash,
which reverberated back into the
hills, the splintering of wood, and a
confusion of struggling horses. San

air, heard the whistle of the wind
shrilling in his ears, accompanied by
the groans and screams of the MANNED

cause of the enmity against the yard

perhaps because above the clanking of
the vehicle and the clicking of the
shod heels her voice arose in scolding
tones at regular intervals.
Once the Dream Lady rebelled, and
said "Oh, mother, please stop. l am
old enough to understand" Then
there was silence.
The horses felt the GOODNESS of the
morning, and were mettlesome. Their
hoofs rang spitefully on the frost
hardened roads, and they tugged at
the bits until Sanders tough little
arms ached with the persistent pull.
They surged against the lines or
jumped, as if frightened, away from
familiar objects. The drivers legs
Strengthened out like small pillars, to
the brake that had been made long
enough for his foot to reach; but to-
day it didn't seem to hold well.
A weed blew airily across the road,
and the off-horse shied-shied so VIC
lently that Sanders swore under his
breath and gave quick jerk. The
horse felt that Sanders was nervous.
Up the short rise they went, and then
swung over the brow and down on the
crooked reach of Turn Again grade,
while far below them, and alongside,
the river wound its foamy way over
the boulders.
What the devil ails you?" yelled
Sanders, as the off-hoPse suddenly
broke into run. Sanders foot struck
out madly for a greater purchase on
the brake, a defective bolt snapped
somewhere, and he nearly fell from
