EARLY-DAY STORY
OF STREET CARS
ARTICLE REPRINTED FROM OLD
FILES OF THE BUTTE
MINER

The passing Of the Butte street
railway after so years of service
renders timely the following article
from the Butte Miner Of Sept. %,
1888. The roads to Meaderviile and
from the depot TO Butte were built
in the closing days Of 1887. The
following article deals with the
cable line and the motor line which
circled the business district. 1t
follows:
THE Butte street railway Is employ
ing over 200 men on its track-laying
on Broadway and its cable line on
Main street to VAUDEVILLE The work
on Broadway is being pushed The
roadbed is completed to the connection
with Park street, by way Of Montana.
The rails are laid along Broadway
nearly to Montana. The wooden paving
between and alongside the rails on
Main street has been transferred to
the Broadway line. The cars to South
Butte now stop at Main and Broadway
but they will soon disappear from
Main street altogether when the link
on Montana between Park and Broad
way is completed. They will then con-
tinue up Arizona street and run over
the newly-laid tracks on Broadway.
"A gang Of laborers is at work on
Main between Broadway and Granite
digging the trenches for the cable
boxes. Carpenters are at work on the
latter. They and the other woodwork
will be put in place, one block at
time, and without closing the streets
as usual in the east when laying cable
roads. The difference is due to the
simplicity of the McIntosh-Vogel sys-
tenn
Ground was broken Thursday a
short distance north of the Montana
Union tracks in the Centerville district.

Block House Still Stands
One of the most interesting buildings
constructed by the soldiers is the old
block house, built in octagonal form.
They first built square house Of about
12-inch logs and cut portfolios on each
side in V shape with the opening about
three inches on the outside and eight
inches on the inside so that a gun
could be pointed in several directions.
On top Of the lower room they built
another Of the same size but crisscross,
so that it gave an eight-sided building
from which the 80 men it would hold
could have defended it against large
attacking party. The logs and flooring
are still in fine condition. On Aug. II,
1924, a copper tablet was erected on the
front of the block house with this in
scr1ption: Original Block House"

1869, Post moved to present site 1870.
Name changed to Fort Logan 1878 in
honor Of Capt William Logan, killed
by Nez Perez Indians in the battle of
the Big Hole, Aug. 8, 1877. Garrisoned
as military post 1859 to 1879. Adam

Among other buildings still standing
are two officers quarters, two barracks,
the commissary and guard house,
stables all built of logs and lumber
and an adobe brick cook house, the
adobe bricks being made there, and

his becoming one of the few consulting
entomologistS retained by large milling
companies for work during vacations.
Among the restricted area contribu-
lions of the entomology department
under DR. Strand are fruit insect con-
troll methods. Much was accomplished
in combating the black cherry aphid,
pest of young fruit trees. Apple
growers made use of cooling moth re-
search in timing spray applications.
And root weevil poisoning methods
aided small fruit and strawberry pro-
ducerS.
DR. Strand was married to Mollie
J. Allen of Butte in 1919. Mrs. Strand
also is a graduate of Montana State
college, obtaining her degree in 1916
They have three children, James, 10;
Patricia II, and Roy, 5.
