K RAILROAD NEW S

Engineer Silas Shut was in Kalispell
last Friday.
Two Of the main line work trains were
pulled off this week and sent to Fernie,
where they will repair the damage
wrought by the recent floods.
1t is stated on what seems to be GOOD
authority that the Billings & Northern
will not be running trains by the 1st OF
September, as many of our people hoped.
The track layers are beyond the Musscl-
shell river and are pushing right ahead,
but the character of the road they are
building is such that they are not mov-
ing very rapidly. However, when the
road is done it will be one of the best in
the state The track is laid of 80 pound
steel and is being thoroughly ballasted
and will admit of the passage Of i'm
mensely heavy trains from the very be-
ginning. 1t is believed the road will
have an immense traffic from the very
outset.-Rocky Mountain Husbandman.

Engineer II. B. Sharar went to Java
Saturday to enter into the joys of fish
ing.
Passenger Brakeman Yates has been
laid up this week with severe attack of
pleurisy.
1t is expected that the heaviest lumber
trains ever seen in Montana will go into
Nebraska and Kansas as soon as the Bill
lings & Northern is open. The prairie
states south and east of us will draw i'm
mense lumber supplies from the forest
along the Great Northern.-Rocky Noun

Engineer John Coed II pulled the spc-
cial train bearing the National Guard
between Whitefish and Troy in the fast
time of three and half hours, a record
which has only been beaten by light
mail train.
A Billings dispatch states that Engi-
neer Taft Of the Billings & Northern is
in the city, having just completed tour
of inspection of tile line which is now
nearly completed. Mr.. Taft is authority
for the statement that the road will be
finished and trains be running between
Billings and Great Falls by the first of
October. He is much pleased with his
inspection of the road.

SWITCHMAN IS KILLED

N. II. Helm, a switchman in the local

morning, and died shortly after being
taken to the hospital. No one seems to

stumbled and fell across the rails.
Little can be learned about the man,
