PICTURES
TO LEGITIMATE

Butte, Mont.-Loominy large on
the local theatrical horizon is the Or
penhelmer-Cohen combination of
Butte, whose purchase Of the Broad
way %theater, recently, marks their
evolution from the motion picture
business, in which they have achieved
a signal success into the bigger
game. 1t is understood that the price
they paid Uncle Dick Sutton for the
broadway property was in excess of
$25O,000. In addition to this they
purchased property Immediately adj
joining the thcater on the west, and
propose to enlarge the thcater, ex-
pending about 100000 on improve
mcntS.
Back of the combination are some
master minds. Primarily the men
interested were merchants, starting
in a small way a number of years ago,
and by dove failing modern business
methods with the Butte opportunity,
have grown with the great camp, I'M
til the Symon's store, their creation,
is one Of the largest department.
stores in the entire northwest. In
mining they have been equally sue
ccssful. There are several million
aires in the combination.
Two years ago they embarked in
the motion picture business. A syn
dictate was formed and four houses
acquired, all of which had been los
ing money. The good fairy that pre-
sides over their destinies waved her
magic wand, and money began to
pour into the Golfers of the new UNI
dertaking.
The success of the combination in
this line has been marked, and their
interests have expanded. Six months
ago they ventured into vaudeville,
success following them as usual. And
now, their purchase of the Broadway
means that they are going into the
amusement business on a much larger
scale.
Joe Oppenheimcr started his bust
ness life in Butte a quarter of a cen
fury ago as a small commission mer-
chant. He is now a big factor in
Butte's business world. Jack Cohen,
fifteen years ago, was writing adver-
Using for the Symon's department
store, Oppcnheimer's establishment.
He wrote with such punch and to
such good effect that in a few years
he became general manager of the es-
adjustment, with a substantial inter-
est therein. Under his management
the establishment has expanded until
it is o II of the big institutions
of the west. These are the men who
are back of this new theatrical COM
bination, and because of their vital
business force and ability it will I'M
doubtedly 60 far.

with tonnage, but he spent the none
when no n else would take the
chance, and because of this public
feeling was very much for him.
Hhe was always ready to push his
lines of steel into some new section
OF Montana where there was a posi-
bllity of developing agriculture.
Much of his railroad building was
done twenty years ago, when the av-
erage %flnancier did not entertain a
very high idea Of the grain growing
possibilities of the state. When the
state was producing 100000 bushels
OF wheat he believed that the day was
forthcoming when the crop would
bulk up towards the 1901 OO, 900
bushel mark, and already. with vast
grain growing areas unreclaimed, the
annual crop is within sight of So
100000 bushels. The first good wear
is likely to see the grand total pass
this figure, and if the crop of 1916
had been normal it would have been
close to it. Hill had as much as any
other n man, and more, to do with
the coming of the thousands Of farm
ers into eastern Montana in recent
years, and which has put the popula-
ton of the state close to $50, 900.

dent of the Chevrolet Motor Co., IN
a bulletin to stockholders of the COM
pany, announcing that the "Four-
ninety' model, electrically equipped.
hencetorth will sell for $500, says:
"When the Chevrolet Motor Co.
first offered it's model 'Four-nine-
ty' touring a in january, 1915, with
electric lights and starter, at the
then sensational price of $3.50, the
management stated frankly that the
name 'Four-ninety' really meant
something, and that, whenever the
company's manufacturing facilities
and production justified it, the price
on the a should be 1890.
"Since the above date the Chevro-
let company has completed the best
motor plant in the country; has built
and equipped an up-to-the-minute axle
plant; has acquired a complete trans
mission plant, and has in operation
seven large assembling plants. The
Chevrolet company has reached a
volume Of production which enables
it to make good its original promise.
"We are pleased to advise that the

out to Chevrolet dealers, present the
model 'Four-ninetv' to the public at
$500, fully equipped, with a standard,
Two unit electric lighting and start

"This makes the model 'F%our-ninc-

FORTY MILLIONS IS THE
VALUE OF HILL ESTATE
Railroad Builder Made $25, 600, 900 Out Of
Canadian Pacific; Believed in
Montana Wheat.

Helena.-The official estimate OF
the wealth left by the late James j.
Hill, as fixed by the appraisers, is
$40,O00,0O0. It is to be assumed that
the appraisers have been conservative
in their figures. Financiers who should
know are of the opinion that the great
railroad builder left $10,OOO,-
600 more than this estimate. Early
in his career, in the financing of the
Canadian Pacific, his first great un-
%dertaking, he made a profit estimated
at $4,000, 900, and certainly in the
twenty years that followed, with the
tremendous development of those por
tions of Montana and the Dakotas
through which his Great Northern
passed, he made as much more.
But there T few rich men in the
United States, where the tendency of
public opinion is against the multi
millionaire, who stood as we'll with
the general public as did Mr.. Hill.
This was because of his constructive
policy and because of the hard money

and building up the country. In this
expenditure he had in mind, Of course,
