James ,Dewar died at the Whitcfish
hospital at II 80 o'clock on Tuesday
night, from ptoniaine poisoning, after
an illness of only few hours. Mr..
Dewar was brakeman on the Great
Northern, and was taken sick the pre-
viOus night, while on his run between
Cut Bank and Whitefish. He was very
i'll when he arrived here, and was taken
at once to the hospital, where he died
the following night, although every pos
siblc effort was made to save his life
He was ~ years of age.
Deceased had lived in Whitctish for
several years and was we'll known here
His death has brought the bitter cup of
sorrow to the lips of relatives and host
of friends, for he was all upright young
man, popular with all who knew him.
He was the soul of honor, and his
friends and friendships were sacred to
him.
The funeral services will be held to-
day, in charge of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen, of which order de-
ceased was member, and interment
will be made at Kalispell.

CAMPERS RETURN FROM
UPPER LAKE

Mr. and Mrs w. X. Floweree and
two children and DIR. and Mrs. F. J.
Adams of Great Falls, who had been on
a camping trip to the Upper Whitefsh
lake. returned from that place Saturday,
after most pleasant outing. The MEM
bers of the party were much impressed
with this section OF the country as an
outing place, and are quite enthusiastic
in praise of the attractions which are to
bc found in this vicinity.
The party was piloted to the lake by
Joe Warner, the old bear hunter and
trail-blazer, whose services as guide are
invaluable and much sought by those
who know him. The trip was made upon
horseback, with pack horses to carry the
camp equippage. Mr.. Warner and his
partner, Ammel Destcrman, are well
equipped to handle camping parties of
this nature, and are going after the busi-
ness in this line. They will undoubtedly
make reputation for themselves among
the tourists which will keep them busy
in the future.
The members of the party report that
the fishing at the upper lake is excellent,
and they expect to return to the same
place next year, erect summer cottages
and maintain camp at the lake during
the summer. They left large part of
their camping outfit here, for use next
| year.

JAS. ]. HILL ON NEED
OF WEST

GLOW much new railroad does the
west necd?'
''Thcre should be 1000 miles of new
road built in the country in the next five
years, even to get abreast Of current bus
mess, and unless commerce is to be tied
up IN hard knot, that is what will have
to be done. 1t would mean the spending
of 81, 100, 600, 900 year. About IS per
cent of this, mind you, will be for labor,
and the balance for material which is al
most entirely labor. Almost every dollar
of it will go into circulation, back to the
workingman, the farmer, the manufac-
turer, the merchant.
That would mean something to pros
perity. 1t would put labor at a premium.
1t would tax every supply shop in the
country. 1t would force the steel mills to
run double shifts in every plant to turn
out the necessary rails. 1t would bring a
removal of people from the crowded CEN
tcrs of the east into the states west of the
Mississippi that are crying for population.
'lt is soothing picture, isn't it?
But to do it the railroads must be allow
ed to run their business as any other bus
mess is run. They are the second biggest
interest in the country. They purchase %
per cent Of everything that is purchased.
They employ, one way or another, a very
large proportion of the working male
population; then tell me why every man
in the country, whether he be merchant,
farmer, manufacturer or workman, can
not see that all prosperity, from the
ground up, is knit insolubly with the
prosperity and proper maintenance and
upbuilding OF the railroads? Why are
they all led like sheep by lot of politi-
clans who will sell them out at the drop
of the hat?
1.-THE railroad is the most important
factor in the country's prosperity, and it
makes the smallest profit. A bank can
clear 30, 80, even 100 per cent, SO long
as it pays legal interest, and the govern
mcnt has nothing to say. If a bank does
not make money it can liquidate and get
out. So can a man in any other business 3;
but railroads profits must be limited
to a margin OH which necessary cxpan-
sion is impossible, it must be run in the
most expensive way, it must stand the
/ loss OF lean years and make minimum
in the good ones when every other bust
ness is coming money, and it must keep
Oh running whether it pays or not. If it
cannot make money enough, with these
burdens, to meet its obligation, a receiver
Is put in to run it, and his certificates
take precedence of the stock and the
bonds. Az certain distinguished states-
man has said recently, we've got the
railroads..
"But how long do you think people
arc going to invest their money in bus
mess that is nailcl to the cross in this
fashion? And when they won't invest tell
me what is to become of the commerce
of the country. The true measure of pros
perity, plainly enough, is the ability to
move products and merchandise prompt
ly."-From an interview with James J.
Hill, by j. X. Mumford, in Harper +
Weekly.

MUCH INTEREST TAKEN
IN MINING

Quite large crowd Of people made the
trip to the mining prospects again last
Sunday, most of whom were interested in
one way or another with the claims.
During the week prospectors have been
going and coming every day.
So far everything is looking well at the
prospective mines, quite a number of
new discoveries having been made on
the mineral belt, some of which are ap-
parently quite rich in mineral.
Some of those who located claims two
weeks or more ago have done consider
able work, and in some instances have
struck ore which looks to be of high
grade character. The outlook is quite en-
couraging, and those who are fortunate
enough to hold claims in the mineral
belt are very enthusiastic over the pros
poets in sight. About 10 claims have been
located altogether.

The mystery of the strange sounds
which have been heard in the southeast
part of town at night from time to time
has probably been solved, and it is
thought now that a mountain lion has
been the cause of all the disturbance
One night last week Mrs. Jefferson, who
lives in the Riverside addition, heard the
peculiar noise near by, and went outside
and lit f,lscc. The animal was quite
near, and the brilliant light made its
form distinguishablc. The lady is GER
tain that the animal she saw was a noun
tain lion.

NEW ROAD IS NOT YET
COMPLETED

A good deal of false expectations and
disappointment have been raised by pre-
mature statements as to the completion
of the Billings & Northern road and
dates announced for its operation, and
the Tribune has in consequence taken
some pains to investigate the facts with a
view to getting at the correct conditions.
The Misunderstanding have largely
arisen from the publication of the fact
that rails have been laid to such and
such point. This is true, but it con-
vevs wrong impression, as in places the
rails have been laid in temporary way
with view to facilitating the hauling Of
gravel to complete building stretches Of
road bed. AS matter of fact no official
announcement of any date has been
made for the opening of the road and
the commencement of through traffic be-
tween Great Falls and Billings, and no
steps have so far been taken to arrange
time tables or provide for through traf-
tic. The contractors have yet consider
able work to do on the road before traf-
fic from the Burlington junction point
will come over 1t. They now estimate
that it will be December before the road
will be in situation to handle the Bur-
lington freight or passenger business,
and it would not surprise railroad Of
ficials if it were the first OF January be-
fore regular trains were running over the
southern end of the Billings & Northern.
Inquiries are coming in all the time to
the Great Northern authorities asking
them if they will be able to handle
through freight over the new line by a
certain date, and they are not entering
into any undertakings to do so before the
first of the new year, though they ex-
pect if the weather is good, to have the
road open for traffic before that time

Some of the best looking ore that has
come from the mining claims north of
town was brought in last Friday by
Napoleon Paquctte and those interested
with him. The ore appears to be rich in
copper and gold, and samples have been
taken to Spokane to be assayed. The
claims from which this ore was secured
are located some distance from the origi-
nal discoycries in the mineral bclt.h

eran engineer and hero Of numerous

The train is pulled by an Illinois Cen
trail locomotive, Of which Mr.. Seaver is
the engineer. For forty three years
the veteran has been handling the
throttle of Illinois Central engines.
q For forty-three years Mr.. Seaver has
been spiritualist-not one Of the ta-
BILE raising, bell ringing kind, but an
intelligent believer that spirit bodies
exist. He says he has had innumer-
able evidences that spirit hand guild

trail engineer is sitting beside him.
