ELECTRIC RAILWAY
IS ASSURED
President Humble Says That
The Situation is En-
couraging.

j. L. Humble president of the Mis-
i soula-Bitter Root Traction Co., was
in MIssoula all day yesterday. His
business here chiefly concerned the
new line up the valley and he ex-
pressed himself as confident that the
line will be built more promptly than
has been generally anticipated.
"Our talk with MIR. Clark the other
day was entirely satisfactory, said
Mr.. Humble yesterday. "Mr. Clark
and his advisers are confident that the
road will be successful venture and
that its construction is feasible. Mr.,
Clark has acquired the present North
ern Pacific roadbed from Bonner to
Missoula and will, we are told, build
an electric road there as soon as the
Northern Pacific abandons the bed
for its new line. If he builds the pro-
posed city railway in Missoula, the
line up the Bitter Root would be a
natural extension of the system. 1t
would develop great business.
I'VE have also proposition from
respon sible Chicago capitalists who
already have extensive interests in
the valley to take up the line and
finance the scheme. They have been
over the ground and are familiar
with the conditions, and are very
much "a ~ thair %D
held of the road. We have received
other definite propositions and the
number Of inquiries that are coming in
is surprisingly large. There is no
doubt ir my mind that the road will be
financed and built very soon.
1--WE have, as you know, enough
freight contracts to insure a satisfac-
tory revenue fof the road. These are
all signed and are as good as gold.
We have the right-of-way secured
from Hamilton to Lolo. Our only
open section is the distance from Lolo
to Missoula, and that is certain to
come, though there is an unwilling
ness on the part of some Missoula peo-
pie to cooperate with us, which is not
easy to understand. But l think it
will come out all right. Missoula
should be interested, for the line will
greatly benefit the city, just as GER
tainly as it will develop he valley.
What helps one will help the other"

Mr.. LEIGHTY RESIGNS
LEAVES POSITION AS DIVISION
ENGINEER OF 8. G. o.
Will Become Chief Engineer of the
Southern Division of the Missouri
Pacific at ST. Louis.

1t is reliably stated that Mr.. j. r.
Leighty, OF Cumberland, has accepted
the position of chief engineer of the
Southern division of the Missouri Pa
cifc railroad, with headquarters at st.
Louis and that he has resigned his
position as division engineer of the
Baltimore G. Ohio, with headquarters
in Cumberland, his resignation to take
effect at once.
Mr.. Leighty is a man well versed in
r~a!lroaoing and railroad work and has
served in every capacity of the main
tenance of way department, from fore
man up, first entering the service of
the B. & o. at Parkersburg as super
visor about ten years ago, where his
promotion was rapid.
Mr.. Leighty has been stationed at
Cumberland the past three years, as
division engineer, having been promot-
ed from assistant division engineer in
charge of the Shenandoah division at
Winchester. Under his supervision
many important changes have been
made on the line between Grafton and

toned in Cumberland for several
years as assistant division engineer
will succeed him.

The interview was not designed fol
qualification, particularly, but was not
made confidential. Consequently when
Mr.. Kittle was approached by a re
porter, the details were drawn from
him. in 50 far as the conversation was
not confidential.
Mr.. Kittle lives In Richie county, but
is constructing a railway line at Gal.
lipolis.
Governor Dawson and Mr.. Kittle
happened to meet en- a train and they
discussed the gubernatorial and polit-
lca1 situation generally and during the
course Of the interview Governor Daw-
son declared himself. He said that to
him swisher was the most suitable
candidate, and then in as many words,
according to Mr.. Kittle. declared that
he was for the secretary, FIRST last
and all the TIM"
He gave the preference to Swisher,
personally. He did not attempt to
speak for the whole administration.
At the same time Governor Dawson
made ii clear that he vas speaking as
governor, when he declared that he
had been casting about for a man to
succeed him and a mar suitable to
him to continue his work in the Of
flee.
He admitted that he had thought
Gov. White such a man and ventured
the assertion that the Ex-Governor
would make a most excellent dark
The interview left the impression
that the choice of Secretary Swisher
was one Of necessity.
Would Be useful"
OF course. in political circles the
governors declaration will be under
stood. Personally. he has no particu-
lar fondness for the states premier.
1t is because of the fact that Swish
err will be the most useful to him that
he would prefer him.
The frank declaration is expected
to be followed by active work on the
part of the executive and his follow
ers in the usual Dawsonesquqe style
for the advancement of the cause of
the chosen me-.
Mr.. Kittle, when questioned by a re-
porter, said Governor Dawson was
much in earnest on the proposition,
and spoke as one who had fully deter
mined his course.
Mr.. Kittle is himself a well known
political leader. He served as repre-
sentative from Barbour county in the
house of delegates of the 1905 legisEa-
ture and was one of the most active
administration leaders.
