Get up in time to get breakfast at the Lethbridge Hotel, which is just diagonally across a small park, in front of the station. They serve a wonderful Club Breakfast for 50c. Baggageman in station charges 5c each to cheek your hand baggage while you are up town. If you have time see the wonderful R. R. bridge here. Leave Lethbridge at 9 A. M. Arrive at Coutts at 12:10 noon. Hand baggage examined here on the train, after which.the train moves ahead 200 feet over the boundary line to Sweet Grass, Mont., where the trunks are pulled out on the plat- form and examined. Whoever has the baggage manifest or clearance papers (given them when they left Minneapolis) must give it up here to the American Officials. This paper saves a lot of trouble in the baggage examination. At Sweet Grass you have an hour and a half wait. Get your dinner at the International Cafe, which is only about 150 feet from the station. They serve a splendid dinner for little money. Leave Sweet Grass at 1:30 P. M., arriving in Great Falls at 7:15 P. M. Special passenger coach on the train from Sweet Grass to Great Falls for the Pantages show. "Albert," the news agent on the train, carries sandwiches, baked beans, etc. He also sells this Guide Book. The Lethbridge Hotel LETHBRIDGE, :: :: ALBERTA. DIAGONALLY ACROSS PARK FROM C. P. R.

O'HAIRE, Propretor. In most cases the baggage in Sweet Grass is put into a special baggage car and no excess charged but should they check in the usual way why get a receipt in addition to your excess check and when you arrive in Butte give it to Mr. Merle Davis, the General Manager of the Montana time and he will refund you your excess. They pay all excess from Coutts, or Sweet Grass, all the way to Spokane. They also pay the fare from Butte to Anaconda back to Lurant and further pay the bag- gage haul in Anaconda, Helena and Missoula. Play fair with them and leave your hotel baggage at the station in these "one night stands." The author claims the credit of originally inducing the management to ex- tend the courtesy of free delivery on the "one night stands."
