STREET. RAIWAY DEAL The Steam Motor and Union Elietrio Railway Company Lines to Be Consolidated. New York Syndioate, epresented by J. H. LawrehToe, Purohagsea Both Properties. The Work of Equlpping Them With Blee troiety to Be Pushed With All Speed -Plans of the Company. During the past year there have been a number of developments in the street rall -way sitation in Helena. But the moseet im portant, probably, is that which took place in New York about a week ago. It will be remembered that about six weeks ago a rep resentative of the Northwestern Guaranty Loan company, of Minneapolis, purchased the steam motor line under a foreoclosure sale. Immediately after its purehase a contrast was let J. H. Lawrence to equip the line with electricity, and Manager Clark put a large force of men to work to put the roadbed in shape for the new equipment. The latter work has been fin ished and the poles are all up, ready for the wire. A franchise has also been ob tained from the city for a loop up Clark street to Harrison avenue and thence to a connection with the main line on Knight street. J. H. Lawrence has long had an idea that a consolidation of the steam motor line and the Union Electric Railway company would be a strong card. The latter com pany owns the line to Lenox and has a franchise, with the road partly completed, to the Methodist university. He secured an option on the motor line from President Menage, of the Guaranty company, and also one from the owners of the Union railway. Two weeks ago last night he left Helena for New York, his mission being to form a syndicate to take up the options. Yesterday he returned successful. Talking of the matter last night, he said: "You may say that the syndicate which has ad vanced the money to buy these lines is com posed of some of the best known men in New York. The money is not all American capital, some of it coming from abroad. The money market east is in good shape now, the big crops in the west making things lively on Wall street and the troubles in South and Central America have had the effect of dis couraging investments there. In conse quence both foreign and eastern money is coming west. And investors are partncu larly favorable to electric street railway lines. As a broker told me in New York, such concerns never default on their inter est." "What does your syndicate propose to do in the immediate future?" was asked. "To carry out immediately." wat the re ply, "the plans made by President Menage for the steam motor line and by the former owners of the Union Rallway company for that company. Both the Guaranty com pany and the Union have sold out abso lutely to the syndicate I represent. This syndlcate will put into the consolidated lines about $400,000. Contracts have been let for all the machinery for the power house, calling for its shipment from St. Paul by Nov. 20. The cars and all the rquipment will be of the best and latest im proved manufacture. During the coming week the site for the power house will be selected, and the contract for its construe tion let. We hope to have the Lenox line in operation by the first of December, and the steam motor line by Jan. 1. Traoklay ing on the Clarke street loop I hops to be gin this week also. As to the line to the university, that depends somewhat on the action of the property holders in that vi cinity. My people will advance the money to build and equip the line, provided we can show $25,000 more in bonuses, either in cash or its equivalent. If this is done I will guarantee to build the line and give as good service as is given on any line. And I will guarantee also not to give this ser vice for a month or a year, but for the life of the franchise-twenty years; or rather nineteen, as one year of it has already ex pired." "What is the title and who are the officers of the new company?" "It will be known as and operated under the charter of the Union Electric Railway company. I will be the manager of the consolidated lines, and during the coming week there will be a meeting and the other officers will be chosen." Peter Winne, who was largely interested in the Union Railway Co., returned to Hel ena with Mr. Lawrence in order to make the final transfer of that property to the syndicate. Talking of the deal last night he said: "I regard it not only as a good thing for Helena, but also as showing that money for investment is coming this way. Mr. Lawrence made his deal in legitimate investment channels, and it is the first big deal of the kind I know of which has been carried through for a western enterprise since the Baring failure. I believe this is but the beginning of the tide of eastern end foreign capital which will flow into Montana and the northwest generally for investment during the next twelve months. The people behind Mr. Lawrence are among the most prominent in eastern financial circles, and there is no question of there being ample money to equip the lines in the best manner and run them in first class shape. The deal means to the syndicate I am in I might say a loss of Si0,000, not counting interest and the time I have spent. I hope Mr. Lawrence will be able to make his arrangements to equip the line to the university. There seems to be an idea that we oropoe to sell lots down there. That is not a fact. We want to sell in five and ten acre tracts to track gar deners and those who desire to build nice homes and have large grounds. I under stand Mr. Lawrence's intention is not only to carry passengers, bat to provide cars for bringing produce to the city. There is no question of the productiveness of the land near the university, and we have settled the question of obtaining water by the well we iut down in the cemetery. It is also his intention, I believe, to put on a funeral car and as the consolidated lines will reach all partsof the city, this will undoubtedly prove a 'great benefit. With proper en couragerment I know the syndicate back of the consolidated lines will carry out all of its promises." The consolidation of these lines and their immediate equipment with electricity is another forward step in the progress of Helena. The new deal means the retire ment of W. H. Clark, receiver of the mo tor line, and afterwards its manager, but that gentleman does not regret the loss of the position. He has the satisfaction of knowing that be took the road in charge for hii company when it absolutely had no future before it, and by hard work made it a most desirable property. As the lepre sentative of the Northwestern Guaranty ompany he will still have ample opporto nity to eseist in hailding op Helena. 1.pecial this weok. Anra wool 10o. per ball.

Pyrfection in lady horsemanship is to master the ani mal you mount, no matter how spirited he may appear, a courageous horsewqman will soon subdue him. To be graceful as an equestrienne depends very much upen the appearance of the habit. Rough effects is not good form, as it not only retards the grace of alighting and mounting, but be comes disegrseable as a dust gatherer. Broadcloth, and broadcloth only, com mands praise as perfection in a lady's rid ing habit. Black broadcloth is always pretty and always fashionable, especially iftrimmed with fine out steel or military buttons. Colored broadcloth is now con sidered more novel, and according to the London Queen, whose authority no fashionable lady will dispute, riding habits of colored broadcloth are to be seen at the present time on Rotten Row to the exelusion of almost all others. In consideration of this we are requested by the New York Dry Goods Store to an nounce to the ladies of Montana that they will make a grand special offering in prices of imported broadcloth during the next eight days. The New York Store shows a great assortment of these goods and in every conceivable shade and price. Ladies are respeotully asked to read their advertisement in to-day's paper, wherein they quote importers' prices -prices that should be especially interesting to ladies who know the valta of fine broadoloth. We predict an immense trade at the New York Store dur ing their great special broadcloth sale. Toy pianos, metallaphones, harmonica, music bbxes, horns, whistles, etc., at The Bee Hive. Read in our advertising columns Pope & O'Connor's special offer to the ladies. Best quality twenty-two inch quilted satin only $1 per yard at Fowles' Cash store.
