The Montana railroad commission has
no authority to prevent the Great North
ern railway from tearing up its track be
tween Lakcview and Marion, in Flathead
county, is the substance of an opinion
given by Attorney General Galen. The
opinion was given in answer to the fol

asked the attorney general:
elias the railroad commission of Mon
tana the authority to prevent the Great
Northern Railway company from tearing
up its track between Lakeview and Mar
ion, in Flathead county, Montana"'
With the letter of the commission there

"Hully Gee, dar wuz nuttin' to it,"
was the way in which the small boy ex-
pressed himself at the expiration of last
Sundays ball game between Kalispell
and Whitefish, when the local boys took
the visitors down the line to the tune of
15 to g..
While the score would indicate a poor
game, nevertheless it was one of intense
interest from the time Umpire Shoaf
cried "Play Ball." until Kester retired
the visitors by nabbing Swaney's long
) fly in the ninth.
OF course, there were errors, but the
biggest part were made by Kalispell, and
those made by our boys were more
than offset by exceptionally good ball
playing at critical times. Two different
times kalispell had man on third with
only one man out, but fast fielding and
genuine league pitching by Laird pre-
vented score
Whitefish played good ball; not man
on the team but what hit and tielded like
old veterans, and if anything extra in
the way of bouquets is coming to any one
of them, Old Man Laird should be the
recipient. He not only pitched good
ball, but he fielded his position in good
style; batted like tiend, and then de-
liberately stole fly from under the
catcher's nose
Fleuharty caught good game behind
the bat Doering covered theinitial sack
in the real way, besides doing good stick
work. NanSlack covered second in Lis
reliable way, besides doing the cherry
picking act with Vantassels sure hit in
the eighth. Hami on third played his
old steady game, while Parent had not
many opportunities to show what he
could do at short. Kester, Bremen and
Bodine let nothing hit the ground in the
outfeld, with Bodine carrying off the
honors with his fast and heady base
running.
For Kalispell, we can't say very much
The stub town boys can play real nice
game of ball OH their home grounds, but
when they get away from "ma and pa
they become nervous, and-well, wei

Couldn't Hold Up Matthews Train.

Great Northern passenger train No. 3
was held up on Thursday afternoon of
last week shortly after l clock, one and
one-half miles east of Naples, Ida, by a
lone bandit, who was wounded in his at
tempt by bullet from Conductor G. NJ.
Matthews revolver, and was latter cap
tured by posse. He wrote his name as
Robert Roman. His wound was suis-
tanned after a desperate duel with the
60 ductor. Not only did the conductor S
bravery prevent a robbery, but also pre-
vented what probably would have been
terrible collision.
The bandit ordered the fireman to un-
couple the train, that the two front cars,
the express and mail car, could be ritled
far from the crowded train. The re-
mainder of the train was to be set adrift
down grade to seek such an end as curves
or the oncoming freight might entail
During the fusillade Matthews had a
narrow escape, and the woodwork of the
car was badly shattered by bullets, one
of which came within four inches Of him.
Roman stated in an interview that it
was not Conductor Matthews who shot
him, but the man who appeared on the
platform of the coach and pumped away
at him with Il revolver. This pas eAger
was A. j. Kent of Bonners Ferry, a crack
pistol shot and nervy man.
Tie double-tracking of the Great
Northern over the Rocky Mountains
seems to be still very indefinite propo-
sition, as regards the time when the work
will be sta ted.
Work was resumed this week on the
stock yards east of town, which wert
started by the railroad company last fall
but were discontinued at the time OF the
slump in business.
Upon the request of Max Bass, immi
grafton agent of the Great Northern, G.
w. Avery is preparing an article de
scriptive of the resources of this section
of Flathead county, particularly will
reference to opportunities here for ney
settlers. Tie article will be used by tn
Great Northern to advertise this localit,
in the east.

EXPERIMENTING THE BEETLES.
Solution Used by Young Boys Found
 to be Fake.

Two young boys who would think lit an awful thing to have their names appear in print, seem to have been making money out of the Elm tree beetle. One of them represented his big brother to be chemist who has discovered sure cure for the an- moving and destructive elm tree bug, On this profession the boys secured a number of contracts on Linden street at $2 per contract to extinguish the beetle. Saturday af- ternoon they presented themselves at the home of we'll known citizen on the street and having got their money went to work on the trees, sprinkling freely with the sure cure solution discovered by the chemist. Wien the owner of the trees got home Monday and being informed that the bug killers had been to work, he went to the trees expecting to see glorious results.
 To his astonshment he saw, he says, what surely seemed to be a hundred bugs where there was only one before. Then he went to work, not on the trees but on the telephone, and having got the home of the juvenile beetle killers he informed the boys folks of the consequences of obtaining money under false pre- tences. The people did not under stand, they said, but when the mat ter was explained to them, they had the boys return the money with all possible haste And when the boys were giving back the S2 they didn't do a thing" to the owner of the trees. Later, when other owners of infected trees found how they had been duped, and that their neighbor had recovered his money they went to work as he did and recovered theirs also. They said it was not so much for the sake of the money but that if the boys had not been brought up with a very decisive and sharp turn, it might lead them on to other acts of crime. The solution they used on the trees was found to be nothing more than soap suds.

SOLDIERS ARE HOME
Arrived at Inc Dead of Night
 Weary and foolsore.

With some of their number almost
 exhausted, a goodly majority very' very tired, but all trying to put up a
 good front" the members of Compa- ! nies A and G, Second regiment, C. N. G., returned last evening shortly be- | fore midnight from Pine Camp where 1 they have been maneuyering with the regulars. The militia arrived home earlier than was expected as they
 started several hours sooner than they themselves thought they would. Although all were able to walk l from the station to the armory some
 of them were completely fatigued and their feet seemed awfully heavy. Two of the men had just left the hospital
 where they had been since the early ; part of last week. The oppressive
 heat during the day, the cold nights, , the long marches along dusty roads, | the warm water that was given them ' in camp, all tended to make the camp ' life just a trifie unpleasant. Still the
 men claim that it was not nearly as ' strenuous a time as at Manassas. They left Pine Camp yesterday about 12:30 o'clock and had nothing to eat
 on the return trip with the exception
 of few sandwiches. The local boys figured in a couple of long hikes the
 last few days. On Sunday afternoon they left camp early and took a march which kept them out oil night. They returned to their quarters with 1 blisters on their feet Monday morn ing. That afternoon they prepared | for their last long hike and according to the boys it was corker. They
 encountered bushes and much brush and their march certainly taxed the strength of both companies. They
 did not get to their tents until early
 Tuesday morning.
 ! They say that the sand around the camp was terrible. It was sand ev-
 erywhere. Long stretches of level i land with nothing but burning sand, almost like desert. A stone was a
 rarity in the vicinity. When the
 wind blew it carried the sand with it and at times they thought they
 were going to be smothered.
 Although the nights were dread fully cold none of the men appar-
 ently have severe colds. On several
 nights the soldiers did not sleep, but
 wrapped in their blankets, walked up and down their street in an ef- fort to keep warm. They claim that following a heavy rainstorm one of the nights was so cold that there were icicles on the tents. On the
 evening that Privates Claffey and Cass were being court martialed on
 the charge of deserting the guard, a
 heavy wind came up and blew down
 the tent in which the court was sit
 ting. The court martial was pre-.
 sided over by Lieutenant-C Colonel Me
 Cabe, but the charges against the
 men fell fiat. Attorney Walter Mon-
 agan defended them.
 Colonel Geddes's big tent was also
 blown down during wind storm and
 during the past few days of the en-
 campment the colonel slept in a
 small tent.
 In all probability a large crowd
