considerable interest is being
manifested in what the Great North
ern will do in the proposed cutoff
between Libby, Mont, and Columbia
Falls, as to whether the proposed line
will run south of the main line from
Kalispell to Libby, or north from Col
umbia Falls, to connect with the
branch out of Jennings. What can
you say on this matter, Mr.. Hill?
"Well, all can say is that we have
stakes on both sides of the main line
but which route will be selected
cannot say. I am aware that the peo-
pie Of kalispell are anxious to know
which route will be determined upon,
but as the matter has not been de.
cided there is no announcement to be
made and none will be for some time
apprehend. We have been figuring
on the betterment Of this piece of
road for the past four years.

ut will take years to work out

| believe that it is generally under
stood that it is the aim of the Great
Aorthern to be the best transconti-

improvements have demonstrated
this. The road was several years
getting through Spokane. but it final
ly came, and the work, believe, will
speak for itself"
