our western coasts, according to 1-rank
J. Stapleton, the traveling freight and
passenger agent of the Pacific Steam
ship company, with headquarters in
Spokane, who was in the city today on
a bufiness visit and who left at 3
o'clock over the Great Northern for
Great Pall« to attend to business for
his (*nmpan\. The Pacific Steamship
company was organised from the Pa
cific Coast Steamship company and
the Pacific Alaskan Steamship com
pany and now handles 2- large ocean
going vessels for passenger business,
fra id Mr. Stapleton
''There is something more than the
desire for business behind the newly
•rganized shipping company. Por
years the Japanese companies had
practically absorbed all the passenger
and freight business of the Pacific
coast. The American ompanies were
In the minority, both in tonnage and in
Humber of vessels, and the Japanese
flag flew proudly at the mast of the
biggest fleet ve>- - < n r • a.-t

came into existence last year, how

hoisted again to first place on th*

LINE TO WIKRETT
Will Be Part of Long-Proposed
Double-Track "Loop"
Through State.
Another leg «if the l ie loop" doubl*
track system which the Milwaukee
contemplates in Montana has been
completed, according to P. J "Pick
handle" Burke, a railroad contractor
of Lewistown, who is at the Finie»
hotel.
The newest link in the Milwaukee's
system in Montana includes the on
slrucUon of a grade 22 miles long
eastward from Grass Range to Win -
r.ett. The line to Grass Range is one
of the five feeder lines running out of
Lewistown and in time will be among
the most important
The Gras- Range-Winnett line
heads for Melstone. where it will con
nect with the main line. This will be
a part of the line running from Mei
ose to Lewistown, Great Falls and
eventually through to Missoula.
"The Winnett line • *>Ft about $12.000
a mile to grade," Mr. Burke si«id. and
added that he believed the steel will
be laid in the spring it will not re
quire more than 30 <.r 40 days for this
work, but the trouble will be in se
curing steel from th* manufacturers.
"The line out of Grass Range is
heading for Melstone and well built

-COMB SAGE TEA
Darkens Beautifully and Re
stores Its Natural Color and
Lustre at Once.
Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea. with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gru . streaked and
faded hair t*cuutifully dark and lux
rrlant. Mixing th#* Sage Tea and
Sulphur recipe at home, though, i«
troublesome. An easier way is to get
the ready-to-use prei*aration improved
by the addition of other ingredient»,
costing about 50 cent* a large bottle,
at drug stores, known as "Wyeth*«
Sage and Sulphur Fompound," thus
avoiding a lot of mum*.
While gray, faded hair is not sinful,
we all desire to retain our Truthful
appearance and attractiveness. By
darkening your hair with Wyeth«
Sage and Sulphur Compound no one
can tell, because it does it ««> nat
urally, so evenly. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared. After
another application or two your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
and luxuriant and you appear years
younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound is a delightful toilet requi
alte. It is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease.
!(in MARKET IS
WITHOUT CHANGE
Plan to Establish Market May
Be Killed at Next Corn
mittee Session.
Plans for the city market, pr..posed
recently in an ordinance introduced
before the city council, will never
reach maturity, according to those
who know the sentiment of the city
council. A meeting of the special
committee will be held tomorrow eve
ning and it is said that the ordinance
will receive its death blow at that
meeting.
"A city market will not be possible
for Butte." said one alderman, who is
a member of the committee, this morn
ing. "To begin with there are not
enough ranchers about the city « f
Butte to support such a market.
"The city would be put to an ex
pense- of about $100,000. The rent
from the stalls would not be mor*
than 25 cents per day. which amount
uldn't pay the salary of the market
master. If the market were established
mid only tend to create compe
tition among the commission men.
rho have inside Information
about this thing and who know of th*
loads of strawberries that were a'
M> „ed to rot on railroad tracks last
spring know how much chance there
is to promote a feeling of ci.«mj»etiti< n
among the commission men. They
understand each other too well.
The plans for a city market will
undoubtedly be laid on the table for
an indefinite period after tomorrow
night's meeting

there will be a let-up !h the cold to
night.
The westbound Burlington is due
into Butte at 4:65 o'clock in the morn

until 6. Then during the quarter of
an hour the train stops here the air,
water and steam lines became frozen
and for a time resisted thawing.
Finally, however, by employment of
extra men railroad officials got the
train underway at 10 o'clock
In view of the Intense cold all over
the state considerable difficulty during
the present period of low temperature
is expected by railroad officials and
postoffice authorities. The present sit
