ticket which took sudden journey on
It's own account. AS the north-bound
train on the Colorado and Southern
IDad passed one of the stations pas
senger in forward car raised win
dow, and in an instant his ticket was
blown from his hands out of doors
The passenger naturally gave it up for
lost, and was very much surprised
when the baggagemaster handed it to
him little while later. 1t appears
that when the ticket flew through the
window a south-bound train was pass
ing. The suction of that train, which
was going at rapid rate, drew the
ticket along with it, and as it passed
the rear end of the north-bound train
1t blew into the door of the smoking
car. There it was found by the bag
gagemaster.

The greatest men have their faults.
ami while the life work of such men

that they have not RENTED their ef-

THE GREAT NORTHERN WRECK

During the last two days the Bee |
has received several kilograms from
different parts OF the United States |
containing inquiries about people
supposed to have been in the Great
Northern wreck. Similar kilograms
have also been received by the West
hotel.
To all inquiries for the names of
those injured or killed the Great
Northern officials have refused to give
out any information whatever, while
at the Kalispell hospital it was said
that the contract between the rail
road company and the hospital for
babe the giving out of any names.
and a request for the names of those
injured was refused
The reason for this harbarous ac-
ton is every plain. If the company
can withhold the names of those

until their bodies are disposed o..

THE RAILROAD MERGER.

1t is reported on good authority that
The promoters of the great railroad
consolidation are considerably eXer-
ciscd over the fight that is being
made against the merger by some
of the states through which the lines
pass, and to allay opposition it IS
said they are Offering secret rates to
some OF the larger shippers. Tins.
true, is an added fact which
shows the danger of the cOnsolida-
ton. When the deal has been finally
eonsum mated the promoters will give
special rates to the favored few with
mpunity. while the burden will fall
upon the small shipper and the peo-
pie. The corporation will find many
ways Of indirectly raising rates that
will be quite as effective as a direct
advance.
One easy method will be in chang,
ing the classification of goods. By
this method rates may be doubled or
treblod without any change in fig
ures.
Without competition the railroad
trust will take its own time in sup
plying cars. especially to those who
may have incurred the i'll will of the
trust. The now merger will bear cs
peciallS heavy upon points having;
competing lines. for they will then
be in the same fix as the people who
reside upon single line.
Under the keen competition here
tolorr existing such points have en-
joyed many advantages. Cars are

tons made with trains of other lines.
route over other roads. They push
shipments through to destination and
they put on extra trains where it is
needed to hold trade All this is done
without regard to expense, but with
the tnrottlng of competition all will
be changed. Running time will be
heightened and the roads will take
their own time in sending goods or
Passengers through.
With competition throttled the
trust will refuse to make close
connections with the roads which
| it does not control. In order
to save expense the train ser
vice on both roads will be cut down
to the lowest practical point, and
passengers can wait. Shippers will
not be given the choice of route over
connecting lines. and various Offices
| will be closed regardless of the needs
OF the public service.
But the greatest lever OF
ali with which to squeeze the
public will be the changes made
in the classification of goods. an eX

SERIOUS CHARGES.
Officials Charge Vandals With caus.
ing 6. NJ. Wreck.

ing 9. N. Wreck.
Spokane, Dec. 17.-Assistant Cen
eral Superintendent H. A. Kennedy
of the Great Northern wired his chief
clerk. w. F.. Baker, yesterday that
the wreck near Essex Sunday morn
ing which resulted in the death of
one passenger and the injury of p
others, was the work of unknown
vandals who are supposed to be for
mer employees of the road. While the
dispatch does not state definitely
whether the wreck was due to bro.
ken rail or whether the spikes were
loosened so as to allow the rails to
spread, it is stated that there was
conclusive evidence to show that it
was not the result of an accident.
The presumption is that the men re-
sponsible for the wreck did it with
intent to cause loss to the company
in retaliation for being discharged
from the service.
Chief Clerk Baker says that the
track has been thoroughly repaired
and that no further delay to traffic
will occur at that point, and that the
work of replacing the sleeping cars
thrown from the track will not inter-
fere with the running of trains.
Every effort will be made by the CON-
pany to bring the perpetrators of the
outrage to justice. and a reward will
probably be offered for their capture
and conviction.
