Will Pull Up the Rails

1t looks as though the people
along the line between Kalispell
and Jennings will have to face the
abandonment of the railroad be-
tween the too towns sooner than
has been expected. Few people
have doubted that the road would
be abandoned within the next few
years. but it seems that it is coming
soon after the cutoff from Columbia
Falls to the Jennings line is COM
pieted and in shape for running
trains. Archibald Gray, assistant
general freight agent, was in Kali
spell Tuesday and Wednesday. and
was notifying the lumbermen who
have mills along the line west that
they must get their lumber out bv
the first of September if they wish
to take it out by rail. He says the
company expects to abandon the
line by that date, and take up the
rails. The reason for doing it so
quickly is that the company does
not care to operate the line any
longer thar it is needed for through
traffic; it needs the rails elsewhere;
and it wishes to get them up and
away before winter sets in. Mr..
Gray says there is no question
about the action the company will
take, and that he is here in his
official capacity to give al who are
interested notice of what is coming,
in order that there may be as little
loss and inconvenience to them as
possible. -Kalispell Inter-Lake.

Frederic Furcotte Drowned

Port Hill, Idaho, February 26.-
Frederic Furootte was drowned at
this place early this morning while
crossing the Kootenai River on his
way to the Continental mine. A
small hand grip which he was car
rying was found floating on the
water where he disappeared. Among
the contents of the grip was a
membership card showing that the
drowned man was a member of
Burke Union No 10, of the West
ern Federation of Miners. A letter,
post marked Cote St.. Michel, Que,
Canada, and written in French, was
also found. AS the ice still covers
the river is is dou btful whether the
body will ever be recovered.

DYER WILL BUILD 1T
Will Do the Big Piling Job for South Ferry
Approach at Boomers Ferry

$50 feet can be pontooned and this
will give us a bridge across the
Kootenai, good for traffic several
months in the year,
Hon. Alex Quarrie, county COM
missioner, was here last Tuesday
looking after business connected
with this work.
The public owes a great deal to
Geo. r. GRAY AMI Thos. J. Jones
for the interest they have taken
and for their efforts to secure this
improvement, and also to those
who have donated material. The
HERALD has taken great pleasure
in urging the matter, believing it
will result in great advantage to
the public.

in Boomers Ferry over Sunday, and
while in the city made the editor
of the HERALD a social call, they
being personal friends of many
years standing.
Now ST loves a good joke even if
it is at his expense, and an inquiry
from the writer as to when he in
tended to call the unterrifed state
committee together brought out
the following:

gether on Jefferson's birthday"
"And that is" we hesitated.

THE DATE IS APRIL 2
When Chairman S. P Donney VIII Convene
the Democratic State Committee

the Us. and then the Jeffersons;
and there was Joe jefferson, the
actor, with faue pages devoted to
his playing, and all the other
LETTERS ms except the real thing,
Thomas Jefferson, the Democratic
patron saint. And do you know
that in that entire bloody British
work of thirty volumes there was
not one word about Thomas Jeffsr-
sonW
That ST was disgusted goes with
out saying, as all Democrats look
upon Jefferson as the greatest
character in history, and not to find
him dignified with a mere mention
at least was most humiliating. We
sympathized with ST, but he came
back at us with one of those ely
shafts of wit for which he is noted
and said:
! "Well, by the eternal, l can tell
you one thing-The British might
forget to write about Thomas Jeffer-
son, but Thomas Jefferson wrote
something about the British that
they never will forget"
And the Democratic state chair
man assured us that there would be-
"something doing" on April .
positively not April l.

CONDITION OFF K. KINNEY,

CONDITION OF r. K. KINNEY.
Royalton Banner There has been
more or less talk in the village regard
ing Mr.. R. D Kinney's condition. Ii
has been reported that he is much i'm
proved and that it is not right to
longer detain him in the Fergus Falls
asylum and that either his Royalton
or Cincinnati relatives should care for
him during his few declinlns years
On account of these reports MI. Up
ham, of Cincinnati, Mr.. Kinney 6
law wrote TO the asylum and
received the following relpy:
Your letter Of recent date is re-
ceived. Would say that Mr.. R. D
Kinney is in such mental condition
that he hardly takes cognizance of his
surroundings and does not seem to
feel that he is in any way neglected
by his friends or relatives. As we
have stated before his extreme age is
sufficient to account for his present
mentaI condition. He is very forgetful
and childish. He never says anything
about his home or friends and he is
very feeble and bed ridden.
