Great Northern intends to build branch
northward from the main. line to the in
ternational boundary
At a meeting of the state board of land
commissioners here, a deal was closed for
the transfer of the necessary land for
right of way. The aggregate of land
bought by the Great Northern was 239
acres. The minimum price was $40 an
acre, but the timber on the land is re-
served. and the purchaser agrees to buy
1t at board measure, based upon the esti-
mate to be made by the state land agent
The right Of way is along the western
shore of White Fish lake. in Flathead
county. Beginning at Columbia Falls. the
line runs northwesterly and taps the old
Crows Nest Southern road near the in

The building of this branch means e
great deal toward the development of tina

action of the railroad in purchasing {
right of way, the inhabitants of north

The Great Northern road is planning
to invade California. A line will be built
through Oregon to San Francisco. The
move of the Santa Fe does not disturb
J. J. Hills plans. An intimate friend of
the president of the Great Northern says
that once the road gets foothold in San
Francisco a great fight for traffic will
take place between the Hill road and the
Southern Pacific and Santa Fe.
TWO routes have been surveyed. one
surveying party working north and one
south. Either line is shorter than the
Mount Shasta route of the Southern Pa
cific by about 120 miles. It is expected
that the grade will be 2 per cent better.
The further information has been OBJ

saving the property of the companies,
which are in the hands Of Speyer &
Co., as collateral for the loan of $6,-

to the company some time ago, and
announced that the stockholders were
entirely at the mercy Of the banking
firm, which could sell out the stock
OF the operating companies in the

at any time they saw fit.
With the announcement Of this de-

every point by the great financial in
stitutions that are behind rival steel

With that he made q magnificent

Makes Trip From Oklahoma to West

Davis of the Eighth cavalry has reach
ed West Point, being the first of a
detachment of IL troopers who started
from Oklahoma 80 days ago on test
ride of 1000 miles. The men were al
lowed to eat and sleep when they
pleased, relays of horses being pro.
vided every 80 miles, the object of the
ride being to cover the distance in
the shortest practicable time.
Davis, being the lightest man OF
the party, led his comrades at the
start, and thus had the advantage of
getting the pick Of the mounts at the
relay stations. He rode up to the
east bank of the Hudson as far as
Garrison, where his horse gave out.
Tha ferry having stopped running, he
reported his arrival by signaling
across the river to West Point Then
he came on to this city and thence
proceeded to his destination.
Davis weighed 1877 pounds when he
started, and now he weighs but 10s
pounds. He was very tired, but happy
to think he had broken the record for
the distance, which is As days. The
ride is one of several taken to test
the stamina of men and horses. made

Despite the brave work of DR.. An.

received such serious burns that his
condition is critical.
The fire started from gasoline

exploded and in moment the room
was a mass of flames.
The doctor called upon Higgs to

Mrs. Higgs received severe burns
and this, with her terrible fright and
illness, makes her recovery most
