Southern Extension That Far South
and Trains Are Being Run.
Unless some unforeseen difficulty
presents itself the southern extension
of the Great Northern will have been
completed as far as Flathead lake by
Christmas and trains will be running
over the line. The above statement
was made yesterday afternoon by a
gentleman who occupies high posi-
ton with the company.
The little army of men, known as
the steel gang, who are putting ties
in place, distributing spikes and
clamps and laying the steel rails,
each are 80 feet long and weighing
600 pounds and comonly known as
60 pound rails, are working from day.
light until dark building track at the
rate of one and half miles per day,
and construction trains are being run
to point six miles south of the city.
Late Sunday evening track was
down to point at least quarter of
a mile south of the wooden flume and
during the day crowds of people, who
had been attracted by the strange
sight of train running south, a short
distance west of the city, waded
through the mud and then stood
around, chilled through, watching the
track men. Everyone seemed to be
simply part of well kept machine
hardly a word was spoken, and that

could be heard quiely saying STEADY!

or something to that effect
The bridge across Ashley creek
necessitated fill of more than $50
feet in length, while there are many
others along the route which are not
less than 200 feet long and thirty feet
high.
Considerable trouble is experienced
in getting piling to the points when
bridges are being constructed owing
to the poor condition of the wagon
roads.

Huge Stone On Tracks-TWo Land
Slides Delay Trains.
The Great Northern has expert
enced much trouble during the past
week with land slides, which have in
some instances delayed traffic for
several hours. The weather during
the month has been what railroad
men mos, dread. It has been just
warm enough to soften the earth and
in consequence slides are expected at
any time. Hundreds of tons of rocks
and loose earth will either slide down
onto the track, or, starting with per-
haps small rock dislodged away up
the mountain will start to roll and as
it dashes downward more are strated,
until the entire mountain seems to
be on the move, and if the railroad is
in the path of the descending mass,
one does not have to stretch the i'm
agination far to know what the result
is.
Saturday night there were two of
these slides which buried the tracks
and delayed passengers as we'll as
freight traffic.
The firt of these was reported from
tunnel No. 8, west of the city, short
time after the through passenger had
cleared that point and the other oc-
Cured about the same time just east
OF Nyack, and with the slide at that
point there was carried down onto
the track a huge stone, which is de-
scribed as being as large as box
car
Both the east and west bound
trains were held in this city until the
track could be cleared.

| ing Robbed the Stockholm.
The tough, pickpocket, strong arm
man and thieves are giving Kalispell
wide birth just at the present time
and if they are wise they will continue
! to do so.
The city police department has a
habit of thinking a moment or two,
then reaching out and getting the fel.
low they are after. The latest to land
in their grab bag are William Hern.
don and Enoch Row, who are charged
with having robbed the Stockholm
theatre.
Both men had been noticed around
the building during the evening and
and one of them has been paying his
bills in small change, principally dimes
and was Swallowed for some time be-
fore it was decided to make the arrest.
Friday night Row was arrested on a
charge of drunkenness and taken to
the city building, where he was
searched and about seven dollars in
dimes were found upon his person.
He was questioned in regard to friend
here and gave the name of Herndon,
who was located and told that his
friend was in trouble and needed as
sistance. Herndon at once went to
the Office of Judge Macarthur and
was Immediately identified as the COM
panion of Row on the night of the
robbery. He was searched and
eleven paper dollars were found upon
his person. Because Of the fact
that the two men had SO many dimes
and one dollar bills, which made up
the principal part Of the money stolen,
the police do not doubt but what they
have the right parties and are weav-
ing a web of evidence around the men
which will be hard for them to es-
cape.
They both claim to be Great North
ern railroaders and have been in the
city but a short time. 1t is sup
posed that while one of them was cut
ting the hole in the building the other
was on watch to give warning should
the bartender become suspicious. 1t
is possible that there were three men
implicated in the robbery, but the po-
lice department are inclined to the
belief that all have been caught.
