A LIBBY DREAMER.

head county to the effect that the
Great Northern will at some future
time make an important change in its
division points. It is to the effect that
the division point will be moved from
Kalispell to Columbia Falls and that
the intermediate division point will be
moved from Troy to Libby. Just who
is responsible for the rumor is not
known, yet it is gaining considerable
Roadway and much speculation is be-
ing INDUCED in on the probable eff
feet such change will have on the
several places directly affected. says
Libby correspondent.
That such change could be made
with considerable saving to the com
pany is not denied. At present the
distance from Kalispell to Cut Bank
which is the intermediate division of
the Montana division, is 1874 miles and
the distance from Kalispell to Troy
is 11S miles. BY making the change
above mentioned the distance from
Columbia Falls to Cut Bank would be
119 miles, while the distance from
Columbia Falls to Libby would be 10S
miles. AS there are heavy grades on
both divisions leading from Kalispell,
1t is figured that the shortening of
the distances will be beneficial to the
company, especially in the matter of
freight trains, and as the carrying of
freight is the chief consideration on
the Great Northern, that fact is lend
ing it's assistance to the rumor.
Then there is another considera-
ton, which is taken into account.
That is the matter of city taxes at
Kalispell. BY making the change the
Great Northern would not be subject
to city taxes. as neither Columbia
Falls nor Libby would impose this
fixed charge upon the company. The
depot at Columbia Falls is fully half
mile from the town, while Libby is
not incorporated.
Work on the Jennings branch to
the Crows Nest coal fields is yet
confined to the surveying of that line,
but there is every reason to believe
that construction will soon commence.
Contractors at other places along the
line have been notified to hurry up
their work, as the company is anx-
ious to begin other constructions, and
it is figured that the other construc-
ton means the building of the feeder
to the coal fields of British Columbia
up the Kootenai river.
The above from the Great Falls Tri-
bune is doubtless another dream by
the same Libby correspondent who,
two months ago, was going to have
dirt flying in six weeks on the Crows
Nest branch from Jennings. The dirt
is not flying yet on the Jennings
branch; on the contrary it is still as
firmly fixed as it ever was and prom

fact, it is safe assertion that what
ever route the Crows Nest branch
may take, it will not go via Jennings
And. of course, the change in di
vision points may be made. as sug
gested by the Tribune correspondent
''at some future time," just as the
earth may fall into the sun "at some
future time," but there are few people
