The motto of the firm, adopted at its birth, " The best goods, at the lowest possible prices, with fair, courteous treatment to all," has been so religiously observed by this concern that it

has gained the widest of reputations throughout the State for fair treatment, its trade extending to the farthest confines of Montana.


Responsibility is assumed for the statement that no better satisfaction can be secured any- where in the Northwest, or even by going to the extreme East, than can be secured at this institu-


tion, and the people of Montana are learning that they can safely entrust their orders by mail to the Kennedy Furniture Company and have them filled, in cases where more limited stocks of home concerns are inadequate, quite as satisfactorily as if permitted to deal personally with the ordinary dlealer.


BUTTE BREWERY.


Elsewhere has been shown the advantages to be gained by coming to the base of production of raw materials, both of mining, agriculture and sheep and cattle raising, for which Montana is growing famous. While a plea has been made for a larger activity in this direction, it should not be assumed that a start has not been made. On the contrary, many manufacturing institutions have been quick to see the benefits presented and are today receiving a rich reward for their far- sightedness.


In no instance is this more true than of the Butte Brewery. While an old landmark of the city, its life as an expanding institution is of recent birth. Although the raw materials used are not Butte productions they are among the many produced throughout the State, and in the large success attained by this institution lies a pungent moral which others might well consider.


The brewery was originally established by Henry Muntzer, in the year 1885, on Wyoming street. between Granite and Quartz, within a block of the busiest portion of the city. For many years Muntzer's beer enjoyed the highest local reputation, but it remained for the advent of Mr. J. V. Collins, as the head of the institu- tion, to take its name and the excellence of its product beyond the city's confines and into the furthermost portions of the State.


Realizing the great future of Butte and the grand opportunity presented for greatly increas- ing the output of the plant. Mr. Collins, about a year ago, purchased the plant outright and imme- diately set about enlarging its capacity with the idea of making it the largest and most represen- tative brewery in the State. That he is meeting a full measure of his anticipations is eloquently evidenced by the constant increase of output, and with the changes continually being inaugurated the time is not far distant when his most san-


guine ideas will have been realized. Experts claim that the product now equals, if it does not excel, any foreign article, and the logic of such a claim is not far to seek.


All materials used in the making of the Butte Brewery's beer are grown either in Montana or the Pacific States - the barley in the former and the hops in the latter -and the fact that the largest brewers of the United States, as well as those of Germany, are exerting every effort to secure the entire products of these sections as the best of their kind in the world, speaks with elo- quent emphasis of their superior qualities.


A fact which but few beer drinkers know is that, before beer can be shipped for great dis- tances and subjected to severe handling and con- stantly changing temperatures, it is necessary to fortify it by the use of unsanitary drugs, else it would be undrinkable at its destination. Equipped as the Butte Brewery is with the latest machinery and employing precisely the same methods as the large foreign brewers, it becomes immediately apparent why the above referred to claims are unanswerably true, it being palpable that the necessity for the use of drugs in this brewery's product is entirely eliminated. By virtue of its proximity to its field of distribution, it is possible to draw it from the cellars to the kegs and for it to be consumed in the same day, thus obviating its subjection to abnormal temperature changes. These facts alone should be sufficient to show the unprejudiced the fallacy of crying for Eastern beer.


Mr. Collins, the president of the company, is an old-time Montanian, having come to Butte in the spring of 1884. He was for many years the manager for H. L. Frank, and for the past six years has conducted a wholesale liquor store and the Pabst beer agency in Anaconda. By virtue of his extended experience, Mr. Collins is thor-


115

oughly equipped to handle the financial and busi- ness affairs of the concern, and in the technical details of brewing he is most ably advised and assisted by Mr. E. W. Walsh, a thorough gen- tleman and an experienced brewer, who serves as secretary-treasurer of the concern, and of whom the trade says he is second to none.


Immediately upon his assumption of the con- trol of the plant, Mr. Collins set about him to reconstruct, tear down, build up and increase in


Plans have been drawn up to entirely rehabilitate the old structure, which the next year will see completed, and in the place of the old will be found an apparently new institution, more mod- ern, more scientifically constructed and with its capacity more than doubled.


First, there will be a new brewhouse, with a capacity of 125 barrels a day. This, of course, means an entirely new brew outfit throughout, the present one being wholly inadequate to meet

every way the possibilities of the brewery, to the end that the highest quality of beer might be pro- duced. His efforts were not long without re- ward, for from the very beginning of his contre! the output of the plant has steadily increased, and the fame of the product has worked its way over the entire State, until the institution was taxed to its utmost to meet the demand.


Anticipating some time ago the trend of the new conditions, Mr. Collins foresaw what this all meant and set about to meet the situation.


even the present demands, to say nothing of the growing ones of the future. New cellars, nat- urally, must follow to meet these new conditions, and such additions contemplate a capacity twice as great as those at present in use. A malthouse, too, is on the list of improvements, and its new capacity will approximate about 10,000 pounds per day. In fact, an entirely new brewery will have taken the place of the old before the year has rolled around, as large, complete and up to date as any in the State, if not more so.

The watchword of the brewery management, as it has been since taking up the reins of control, will be the best brewery in the country and the completest plant, conducted upon honest, upright methods, and, with the combination of brains


and business sagacity at its head, it is safe to say that when time has a little further elapsed, it will become manifest to all that the half has never yet been told in point of prophecy concern- ing its future.


THE GREATEST TRANS-CONTINENTAL RAILROAD.


As elsewhere shown, Butte is adequately sup- plied with railroads. There is one among them, however, easily occupying the place of prestige, and not only Butte, but all Montana, is in accord in yielding that prestige to the Northern Pacific Railway. While neither terminal of that system is found within the State, it nevertheless is the most distinctively Montana railroad entering the city of Butte or tapping the most resourceful sec- tions of the State. Following closely the growth of the great Northwest, from the time its rails first connected the Great Lakes with the Pacific coast, today finds it one of the completest railway systems in the United States.


Starting from St. Paul, it taps the best agricul- tural sections of Minnesota and North Dakota, has an absolute monopoly by the time Montana is reached, by exclusively touching nearly every desirable portion of the State, and, on to Port- land, Seattle and Tacoma, runs through the more thickly settled sections, giving the traveler a bet- ter idea of the resources of the country traversed than can be secured by any other route across the country.


Its equipment is new and bright ; its roadbed. gradually straightened hy constant labor, presents none of the sharp curves of a few years ago, and except where contour of river, valley or moun- tain makes it impossible, pursues an air-line course for miles and miles. Its rails, too, have increased in weight and the rolling stock glides over them so easily as to entirely obviate the nerve-racking. body-tiring jerks so common to many so-called railroads of the first class.


Science in railroad building has even gone fur- ther. Where once existed many trestles, now is found a roadbed and gracefully sloping bank identical with the remainder of the road. In all cases where the trestle was advantageously placed. immense hydraulic apparatus was set in operation on the higher side of a gorge and a large portion of the mountain washed away, the


earth being carried by the force of the water to the deeper levels of the gorge. Here it settled into all the nooks and corners and, accumulating, gradually buried the trestle beneath it until the last beam had been covered, and a bed, as firm as any that nature had built, rested beneath the rails. In scores of instances new wooden tres- tles have first been erected only to he thus buried beneath their load of earth, the result being that no railroad in the country today boasts of a more secure roadbed, more free from danger of fire or washout, than is the Northern Pacific road.


Not only is its line the only trans-continental line entering directly into the city of Butte, but it is also the only one enjoying that distinction in nearly every one of the remaining prominent cities of Montana. Anaconda, the great smelter city : Helena, the capital ; Missoula, in the heart of the noted Bitter Root valley; Bozeman, the metropolis of the Gallatin valley, famous for its wonderful barley; Livingston, the gateway to the matchless Yellowstone Park, and Billings and Glendive, from whence are shipped the cattle and sheep whose delicious qualities have given Mon- tana an enviable reputation as a great stock coun- try ; all these, running midway across the State and adjacent to every great industry of Montana, know the Northern Pacific as their greatest rail- road, in most cases enjoying the presence of no other - nor seeking it.


Recently there has been added to the equipment of the system the last feature necessary to destroy whatever distinction might have existed between the Northern Pacific and its great Eastern con- temporaries - the Pennsylvania and the New York Central systems. This feature consisted of the latest innovation in railroad comfort - the Observation car - and made of the "North Coast Limited " the most magnificent trans-con- tinental express running between the East and the West over any line. A more complete and detailed description of this great railway achieve-

ment should be included in a description of the train as a whole.


Something that will please the overland trav- eler as a happy improvement over previous con- ditions is the elimination of frequent stops at unimportant points. For hours at a time this wonderful train pounds across the country, over mountain and valley alike, past village after vil- lage, without so much as a slackening of speed, drawn by powerful engines, and the impression at the conclusion of a journey covering thousands


experienced. Whatever the cause may be is not known, but the effect is a most pronounced and acceptable innovation. It, for the first time, loaned realism to the comforts manifestly in- tended by the originators of " palace cars," and without which one so often wishes he had re- mained at home.


If possible, the sleeping car is an improvement. The seats seem more designed for comfort - a curve here for the ease of the arm or hand. a cushion there for cheek or head prolongs the time

of miles is that not over half a dozen stops could possibly have been made. Another improvement, heretofore commonly reserved for the millennium. is, by way of an aside, the entire and total absence of courteous treatment " for revenue only " upon the part of attendants, the writer for the first time in a dozen or more similar journeys feeling frec to command the services of respective attachés at will without the spur of financial consideration. In not a single instance was service rendered in any spirit other than that the attendant was pres- ent to minister to the comforts of the traveler, and the feeling that the more desirable comforts were reserved for the few was in no instance


before bodily aches common to long journeys present themselves, and the journey, presto, is over before the ache is located. The smoothness and air line directness of the roadbed, too, lends its beneficial effects to architectural comforts and accounts largely, no doubt, for this result.


Electricity has forced its usefulness upon the comforts encountered elsewhere and, besides the brilliant rays shed from the many chandeliers running the length of the train, each berth is sup- plied with a bulb at either end. The necessity which heretofore compelled the traveler to lay aside his novel and disrobe amid impenetrable darkness at the bidding of the all-mighty porter


119


BUTTE, MONTANA.


has gone the way of other early inconveniences and the traveler for the first time experiences the delights of "reading himself to sleep " aboard train. No noise of hilarity nor the fumes of foul tobacco now find their way to the ear or nostril of the would-be sleeper to disturb his slumbers. The smoking-room, formerly used for cards, conver- sation and smoking at the far end of the sleep- ing car, could be entirely dispensed with now so far as its use for any of the purposes originally intended are concerned. This is due to the pres- ence upon the same train of an innovation so much more commodious, comfortable and sani- tary as to make the once indispensable smoking- room a thing to be avoided, if only by contrast.


This innovation is the previously mentioned observation car, which is attached to the rear end of the train, immediately next to the sleeping cars. This car is more, by far, than its name implies. It is a combination of everything that can lend bodily or mental comfort to the traveler. If he would play cards, two com- modious rooms, each electric lighted, containing a half-dozen wicker chairs movable at will, which, in turn, surround a regu- lation card table, are provided for this exclusive purpose. A

complete buffet, attended by a willing porter, adjoins these rooms, and solid or liquid refresh- ments are promptly to be had at any hour of the day and part of the night.


A corridor leading from the train end of this car passes these card rooms and, continuing, brings the traveler upon a scene and a suggestion


of comfort rarely encountered upon a train in any portion of the country and the first to be seen on a Western road. Before him lies a complete bar- ber shop, presided over by the best of artists in his line and equipped with great lockers of snowy

linen and every instrument and convenience common to a first-class city shop. By a glimpse through the open door to the left of the shop one experiences a still further sensation and promise of comforts to come in the pres- ence of the neatest of little bathrooms,


equipped, as is the shop, with everything pos- sible to make it complete - perfect seclusion, electric lights, hot and cold water, brushes, show- ers, the whitest of linen and perfect ventilation. Surely the question of comfort seems to have been exhausted.


Proceeding along the corridor, however, toward the rear, the traveler finds that others


120


BUTTE, MONTANA.


more thoughtful than himself have studied out this question. As the corridor takes a graceful turn, he sees before him the embodiment of suffi- cient aids to comfort to fill three ordinary cars. Coming as he does into the center of the car, he finds himself in the coziest of little libraries. Here is a bookcase filled with all the latest maga- zines bound in soft leather covers, together with every conceivable literary work adapted to train reading, capable of being picked up or laid down at the will of the reader and as diversion demands. A delightfully appointed desk is a part of the library, which fills a long-felt necessity, and here the traveler finds it possible to write in comfort with everything at his fingers' ends necessary to do so, with the ease and facility enjoyed in his home or office. A mail box, even, is provided, from which the mail is taken and attended to by the omnipresent porter.


Passing from the library, the traveler encoun- ters stationary seats, upholstered in a rich mate- rial of soft green hue in harmony with the general coloring of the interior of the whole car. Beyond these stationary seats one emerges into a parlor as exquisitely appointed as those of the modern hotel. Soft Wilton rugs cover the floors, and large, inviting wicker chairs, of different sizes and shapes, upholstered in harmonious colors, are distributed the length of the room and are reve- lations of comfort. The windows -- huge plate glass affairs some four feet square -are hung with shades to match and permit of an easy and advantageous indoor observation of the fleeing landscape not enjoyed from the ordinary car window.


But the greatest feature of all remains. Be- yond the parlor and through the rear door of the car is the observation platform. For a space of about seven feet beyond the door and the width of the car the floor is extended, and from either side around the outer edge a high brass railing of artistic design is run. The platform floor is covered with some ornamental material resem- bling tiling or marble, an electric light is sus- pended from an arched dome above and folding camp chairs are numerously provided. Here, removed from smoke and dust, with the land- scape running away from either side of the car, one sits for hours enjoying the delicious air, the sunshine. the ever changing scenes, quietly smok- ing his cigar or pipe, reading his novel or en- gaged in conversation, or, totally absorbed in the very charm presented, remaining perfectly silent


and drinking this new cup of happiness to the full. Plainly the " sleeping " car has acquired a new significance in that; henceforth, it will be known and used as the " bed chamber " of a now complete train.


With the refreshing sleep to be obtained from the improved accommodations and the absence of objectionable features noted in the sleeping car, and the invigorated condition created by the diversified comforts of the observation car, comes the increased appetite. One hesitates in noting improvement in the dining cars, for time out of inind the fare spread before the traveler on this road has far surpassed the most extravagant ex- pectations, and but little room for improvement existed. One feature most acceptable is the serving of breakfast and luncheon a la carte, enabling the traveler to satisfy his needs at an expense in pro- portion to them, orders costing as little as 25 cents being served in the same first-class manner as the highest-priced meals. Constantly revolv- ing electric fans cool the car and keep it at a refreshing temperature, while fresh flowers adorn the various tables. Here, as elsewhere in the car, that remarkable something has been at work, elim- inating the "courtesy for revenue only " feature of the service and one finds himself as carefully looked after as if attended by his personal man- servant.


Another feature, although of long standing, is the tourist sleeping car. A potent deterrent to overland travel in the present day is more largely due to ignorance concerning the reasonableness with which such journeys can be made than, per- haps, any other one cause. For the purpose of carrying large families, homeseekers of modest means, etc., at a much more reasonable figure than travel by regular Pullman service entails, the Northern Pacific has introduced a rate to espe- cially meet these conditions. For the benefit of persons so traveling, exact counterparts of the Pullman sleeping cars are included in the train, the only difference being that the former are fin- ished in fine furniture leather rather than in softer draperies. A Pullman porter presides over the car exclusively and, to the slightest detail, every nec- essary comfort enjoyed in the more expensive Pullman is here present. The berths are pre- pared by the porter and the whitest of linen is furnished. Travelers by this car enjoy the privi- leges of the Pullman dining car, and the only difference between the two methods of travel is the reduced rail and sleeping-car fares.

and mail cars and, from end to end, the train is probably as complete, comfortable and delightful as any train running in the United States today, and by far and away is this true as concerns any train crossing the continent.


What the home presents and not found here is a humane omission, fraught with worry and care and not conducive to a pleasure journey ; while everything that lends comfort to the body, pleas- ure to the inner man, rest and quiet to the dis- tracted mind and food to the very soul are here all present, and the traveler arrives at the journey's end, whether it be Seattle or St. Paul. rested and invigorated, hardly realizing that thousands of miles have been stretched between himself and his starting-point.


CHICAGO GREAT WESTERN. THE LEADING EASTERN LINE.


Following is an illustrated description of the " Great Western Limited," the evening express from St. Paul to Chicago over the Chicago Great Western, which connects with the North Coast Limited at the former city. This train is run over the line of the Chicago Great Western Rail- way and has a peculiar interest to Montana read- ers in general and those of Butte in particular, in that this line has a general agency at 15 West Broadway, in Butte, and is therefore a part of Butte's institutions.


To the traveler whose journey's end lies be- yond the eastern terminal of the Northern Pacific at St. Paul, is presented the new question of a route to his destination. With a mind quickened with the knowledge of the good things in rail- road travel but recently enjoyed on the elegant North Coast Limited, and a lingering relish for their continued enjoyment, the question's solution is freighted with no little need for consideration. Five hours of waiting and an all night's ride to Chicago confront him in whatever direction he turns. What an acceptable five hours for recrea- tion and a general stretching of limbs and mus- cles preparatory to the continuation of the jour- ney, free from all thought concerning this mo- mentous question, provided its solution is reached in advance. If the experiences of another, like- wise situated and keenly anxious to thus employ these hours, aids in any way the solution of this


question for the traveler, the purpose of this arti- cle will have been happily realized.


Arriving in St. Paul at three o'clock in the af- ternoon, the shadows of night will long have fal- len before the time of departure eastward. The journey then resolves itself not into one of sight- seeing, but rather presents the question of how best to spend the evening, to secure a refreshing sleep and obtain an enjoyable morning meal be- fore leaving the train in Chicago. If this be theend songht as the happiest solution, then full respon- sibility is assumed for the statement that nowhere can this consummation be attained so completely as by continuing the journey over the evening train of the Chicago Great Western line.


Here are found two complete innovations - an elegantly appointed buffet car for gentle- men, and a perfect revelation of a com- partment car - with a free chair car to supplement the day coach of the North Coast Limited. The compartment car is a novelty in palace-car construction. It could be likened to a living floor of a modern

ble, like a hotel room, of being entirely shut off from all other parts of the car or thrown together en suite. Doors connect each stateroom, not only with the main corridor, but open upon either side into the adjoining compartment through heavily mirrored doors. These doors in all instances, however, may be locked at the will of the trav- eler, or a number of compartments may be thrown together for the accommodation of many mem- bers of a family or a large party traveling together.


The initiated traveler will find in these com- partments the embodiment of every essential of the drawing-room of the regulation sleeper, with toilet, hot and cold water for bathing purposes, ice-cold drinking water, mirrors, ample floor

space for convenient disrobing or dressing, inde- pendent of the berth, and the delightful privacy which the drawing-room permits. The traveler who profits by the well-intended suggestion here


offered will have his confidence rewarded within the first five minutes' investigation of this most ideal departure in car building, and will have nothing but words of praise for the one responsi- ble for the suggestion.


Safely ensconced in his quarters, privilege is afforded him to leisurely arrange his luggage to suit no one's convenience but his own, to remove the effects of dust and heat acquired by his rec- reation between trains by a dip in his private washbowl, to dress his hair and don fresh linen and a more comfortable coat and hat, and, if so moved, to light a good cigar without fear of restraint from his neighbors. For he is absolutely alone and is controlled by nothing save his own wishes and his own comforts. A four-burner gas chandelier is provided in each compartment and a pleasant hour or two may be devoted to uninterrupted reading with all the comfort of the

traveler's own parlor if he so wills. If, perchance, the inner man presents sufficient argument to entitle him to consideration, the traveler may pass through the train and into the buffet car, where an obliging waiter will quickly furnish him with a most appetizing lunch of cold or potted meats, sandwiches and relishes of all kinds. Liquid refreshments of the sparkling kind or the more domestic cup of coffee may also be had for the asking, all of which may either be served at an individual table in the adjoining lounging and reading room or in his private compartment.


If accompanied by his wife he may even secure all of this by the slightest pressure of a bell at the side of his scat in the compartment car, whereat an accommodating porter will do the rest. If he elects to enjoy his lunch in the lounging room of the buffet car, long before its discussion is com- pleted he has become so enamored of the home-

like atmosphere everywhere surrounding him, to enjoy his morning paper and after-breakfast that it is a safe guess that he will remain and read smoke, is fully prepared to agree that no trip of until too sleepy to do so longer.


Few metropolitan clubs furnish a more delightful corner than does this library- buffet car in which to while away the hours of an evening, smoking, reading or chatting.


For those who so desire, of course, the regulation Pull- man sleeper is at their disposal on this train and is as complete and com- fortable as those the traveler enjoyed on the North Coast Limited. On this line, also, the roadbed has been brought to the highest degree of perfection, and the sleep enjoyed by the traveler in consequence thereof is as refreshing as any strange bed permits, and with the coming of the morning he is profoundly conscious of an ability to eat the better portion of a Montana beef. If anything is needed to give zest to his appetite. it is supplied in the excellence of the fare itself. After its full discussion the traveler, again finding his way to the buffet car

a similar character was ever so pleasantly spent ; and, as he alights at the magnificent Grand Cen- tral station in Chicago, the Chicago terminal of the Chicago Great West- ern, an hour later, con- scious of having spent less than $4 for all the privileges enjoyed, he at least promises himself a repetition of the same in the near future.

Che Worthington Pump


Ru


T HE cut herewith shown gives an excellent idea of the above named pump. It is one of an endless line of like machines made for every purpose and of every size and capacity.


This pump is located at the 1,100 level of the original mine, Butte, Montana, and is pumping 200 gallons of water per minute against a vertical head of 1,050 feet. It is one of the features of deep mining. Too much attention can not be paid to having reliable machinery for this work, as a stoppage of the pumps would mean a loss of thousands of dollars as well as jeopardizing the safety of the mine and miners.


This type of an engine is accepted and used in Butte mines generally as repre- senting the highest degree of economy and durability.


The water end is made entirely of phosphor-bronze, which makes the first cost of such an engine much larger than those of inferior qualities. The extreme long life of this pump, as well as all others manufactured by HENRY R. WORTHINGTON, which this superior material assures, more than compensates for first cost in a total absence of supplementary costs which are bound to attend an inferior grade. The saving in fuel alone over the regular compound condensing engine is very great, while the machine is so simple that it requires no more expensive labor in its care.


Pumps of this kind can be built for any service and contracts made with guarantee of duty.


The accompanying cut is significant in that it shows that the Worthington Pump is one that gets outside of the warehouse and into active use in the largest fields, where absolutely perfect results are required.


Carlisle Mason, at No. 110 North Wyoming Street, is the Butte Sales Manager for HENRY R. WORTHINGTON, the manufacturer of the Worthington Pump. The Home Office is in New York City, while Branch Offices are located at Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis, Cleve- land, Detroit, Atlanta, Pittsburg and New Orleans.
