WAKES UP
COLUMBIA FALLS

One of our enthusiastic firemen
was at Columbia Falls yesterday
and was going to test the firemen
over there to see if they were up to
the standard with the Whitefsh
boys so he turns in an alarm at 4
a. m. and calls them out. He took
out his watch and timed them to
see how well they had done until
several arrived and became indig-
nant at being called from their
peaceful slumbers and then think
ing it would not be healthy around
there made his getaway into the
country. The marshal stood guard
on the bridge awaiting his return
and then he escorted him before the
Judge, who imposed a fine of 500,
all of which was remitted except
$500 of it, after he had some of
his former White6sh friends inter =
cede for him.

IT WILL LEAK OUT.

Archie Schradi, who was mar
ried last Friday, thought the affair
was profound secret, except with
few of his intimate friends, but
such things are too good to keep,
and it was not long before all his
acquaintances in town had been
promptly informed of the fact and
were at the station to give the
bridal party good send-off.
Some bosom friends had acquired
possession of the baggage and quite
a stunt of decorating was done,
which caused no end of amusement
to the passengers on the train, and
to wind the affair up an intermittent
alarm clock was placed in one of
the grips, which went off at an op-
perfume time and could not be
stopped until it had run down.
If rice will do anything towards
extending happiness they need nev-
er worry about the future, as they
were showered with enough to last
them into eternity.
The happy couple returned from
their honeymoon Tuesday, and a
and number of their friends
waited on them that evening with
musical instruments of the sort that
usually bring response to sere-
nading parties.

WHITEFISH DEPOSITORY
FOR 6. N. CONTRACTORS

That Whitefsh will be greatly
benefited by the double-tracking
of the Great Northern has already
been evidenced by Grant Smith and
Co. the Spokane contractors placing
a large sum of money in the First
National Bank of Whitefsh to draw
their checks on and they have or
dered 5000 special time checks made
for that purpose
The work of double tracking was
begun in earnest last week when a
large force of men were put in the
field building camps and doing the
preparatory work.
Winston Bros, who were award
ed the contract by the Great Nor
thern. had planned on making
Whitefish their headquarters, but
they sub-let it to the Spokane firm
who will make their headquarters
there, with large commissary and
and supply station at Essex. The
engineering department will also
have their headquarters at Essex.
The bridge and building depart
ment have been busy all this week
building houses for them which
were shipped up there on fiat cars.

MAIL SERVICE CHANGED

A new order that went into effect
Wednesday of last week changes the
run of the postal clerks so that the
run will legin and end in Havre
instead of Glasgow and Whitefish
as it has been since July 1st of this
year. This change eliminates one
division and there are now two
postal divisions between Devils
Lake, N. D. and Spokane, WASH,
instead of three.
The change was brought about by
the new fast mail service put on
the Great Northern and this service
requires more than double the
number of mail clerks than has
been required in the past.

McGINNIS EXONERATES
GREAT NORTHERN

Kalispell, Mont, Oct. 23.-Ed-
itor Pilot: l have just read the
amusing "skit'' in The Pilot of the
21st, entitled 1.-THE 'Bo' Car for
McGinnis."
1 sometimes think myself that
I would make a decorative and
genus feature of the landscape as a
member of that great open air club,
the "Bo" fraternity. If the Sleep
ing car conductor on No. 3 last
Saturday thought l was one it was
because 1 looked the part.
Lest some persons of " soggy"
mind, destitute of a sense of hu-
NOR, should take this occurrence
seriously | want to say that it
would be far cry" to find any
class of railroad men more solicit
Gus and careful of the comfort of
their passengers than the Great
Northern train men and the spa
ciousness, brilliant electric illumi-
nation and tasteful elegance of the
sleepers run upon that railroad
make them Joy and pleasure to
the patrons of the Great Northern.
The we'll directed and successful
efforts of that road to encourage
the flow of immigration and capital
to the Flathead valley and Montana
are certainly calculated to strike an
appreciated chord in the hearts of
all Montanians, who, like myself,
are deeply concerned in the growth
and development of our we'll be-
loved commonwealth of mountain,
vale and plain.

SCHRADI-SINCLAIR

Mr.. Archie Schradi and Mrs.
Verna Sinclair were quietly married
at 9 O'Clock Friday morning at
Lakeside, Rev. G. n. Platt per-
forming the ceremony that made
the twain one in the presence of a
few friends.
After wedding breakfast had
been served the happy young couple
departed on No. 4 to Rock Hill
where they spent a short honey
moon at Dan Doody's place, hunt
ing and fishing.
Mr.. Schradi needs no introduce
tion,' having lived here for sew
eral years and is one of the popu-
lar young enginemen on this divi-
sion. He was promoted to engineer
last spring. Mrs. Sinclair is a
popular Chicago lady. She has only
been here for a year, but in that
she has made many friends in
Whitefsh.

extending to them hearty congratu-
htions for a long and happy future.

TO DEVELOP
JAVA MINES
Spokane Man Takes Hold
and Will Start Active
Operations at
Once

W. A. Grant, a prominent
mining expert from Spokane, made
a short business stop here Saturday
on his way to Java.
Mr.. Grant recently purchased the
interests of Napoleon Poquette in
the Inland mine at Java and he is
going there to develop it. He
brought with him supply of pro-
visions and tools and expects to
start force of men to work at once
making tunnels so that in the spring
operations can be begun on a large
scale.
Grant feels very much elated
over the situation at Java and is
confident that it will be the center
OF some extensive mining operations
in the near future. Spokane cap
italists have all three of the mines
in charge and expect to push them
for all there is in it.
The ore out of these mines is of a
different nature from what is usual
ly found and contains such proper
ties that make it very easy to smelt.
The Oaksdale mine is advanced
farther than the rest. They have
quite a bit of machinery and sever
al hundred feet of tunnels dug and
a large pile of ore out that will be
shipped as soon as negotiations can
be made with some smelter to
handle it.
Mr.. Grant also owns interests in
the Oaksdale and Northwestern
mines and was looking about here
with view to making this place
his base for supplies.

WHITEFISH WINS
FOOTBALL GAME

The first game of foot ball that
was ever played in Whitefsh came
off yesterday when the County High
School team from Kalispell under
the direction of Principal G.. A.
Ketcham, tried their odds against
the home team here.
1t was a fine, clean game all the
way thru without any dirty work at
all and the Whitefsh team being a
little the heavier made one touch
down, giving them five points while
the Kalispell boys did not score at
all.
This was the first time that some
of the Whitefish boys had ever
played and they were kind of
ratified in the first half, but soon
got over it and played fine game
in the second.
Principal Ketcham and all his
boys express themselves as being
highly pleased with the treatment
they received here and arrange
ments are being made to have an
other game on Thanksgiving day.

TWO TRAINS COLLIDE
WITH FATAL RESULTS

A bad wreck happened Tuesday
afternoon shortly after 5 p. m.
when a work train and east bound
freight came together in the canyon
between Belton and Rock Hill.
The work train No. 46S in charge
Of Conductor G. N. Martinson and
Engineer Lee Stout was working
between Belton and Rock Hill when
the Kalispell local No. 1910, in
charge of Conductor Thos. Miller
and Engineer John Metcalf came
along, so the work train had to
back into Belton to get on the side
track 50 that the freight could pass.
An east bound freight, 1884, Con-
ductor Pencake and Engineer
Cranston had just left Belton
having orders to meet the 1910 at
Rock Hill and did not know that
the work train had been forced into
Bolton. The curves in this canyon
are so severe that the track can not
be seen more than few feet ahead
at times SO no one was aware that
there would be an accident until
the big Mallett plowed into the ca
boose of the work train that was
backing up. The caboose and sew
eral cars were reduced to kindling

cure all the help they need.
There is also demand for wood
cutters here. Any amount of them
can find steady employment all
winter all and make good money at
the work.

VERDICT
GIVEN
In the Case of Death OF
{. B. VanAtta by the
Sheriff of Teton
County.

OllcIllI hlCIidruS OF Gut Bank
made an investigation on the morn
ing of October Is, as to the cause
OF death of Clyde B. VanAtta and
the Cut Bank Pioneer Press makes
the following report:
Sheriff Richards summoned a
jury Of six citizens to make thoro
examination of the premises where
VanAtta met his untimely end and
to listen to testimony from the
>hostler in charge of the engine, the
hostler's helper and the fireman on
engine 1905. The report of this
committee is given below, and gives
a very intelligent account of the
fatality and the cause leading up to
it.
I'VE, the undersigned, sum-
moned to appear before Chas. N.
Thomas, Justice of the Peace and
Acting Coroner of Cut Bank Town
ship, Teton county, Montana, to
inquire into the death of C. B.Van-
Alta, a Great Northern engineer
killed in the railway yards at Cut
Bank, Montana, on the morning of
October 16, 1909, find after viewing
the surroundings and hearing the
testimony produced, that the de-
ceased came to his death by being
crushed between the tender of en-
gines 1905, Great Northern, and
the sand house, located between
the coal chute and the water tank
at Cut Bank, Montana.
Yhe jury, after examining the
sand house and after having engine
No. 1906 run up to said sand house
and demonstration made by the
hostler who was in charge of said
engine at the time the said engineer
was killed, find that by measure
ment the distance from the air pipe
on the engine tender was four (4)
inches to the sand house and the
distance from the tender proper
was five and one half 6 1-2)
inches) and it was between this
sand house and the tender on en-
gine No. 1906 that Engineer G. B.
VanAtta was killed.
On November "a, 1908, a Japan
ese man was killed at this same
spot and in the same manner, and
at that time the jury recommended
that this sand house be moved, but
up to the present time no action in
the matter has been taken and this
jury believes that Engineer G. B.
VanAtta's death was due partly to
the negligence of the Great North
ern Railway Company in not re-
moving said sand house.

established here as all the men en-
ployed will be in here to cash their
