The rumor of the proposed Jennings
Kalispell cutoff on the Great Northern
has been semiofficially confirmed. Re
cent reports are to the effect that the
present line between Kalispell and Jen
nings will not only be abandoned on
the completion of the new grade, but
that Kalispell itself will be cut out o.
the main line, and will be reached by {
spur from Columbia Falls. The rout,
of the proposed new line leaves thu
main line at Columbia Falls on thu
east and bears north thence almost due
west to Jennings.
