his life near Highgate, by his head com
ing in contact with one side of cut, at
point where big snow slide occurred

WHEAT TRAFFIC SOUGHT
BY HILL

Wheat is to be one of the big revenue
producers Of the Colorado & Southern
when it is turned over to Mr.. Hill, if the
Minnesota magnate's plans carry, says
the Omaha Bee. And this will be new
business for Hill, business which for
years has been slipping away from him
into the hands of E. H. Hartman, al
though it originated in what is termed
Hill territory.
1t is said the determination of Hill to
wrest this traffic from Hartman is one
of the reasons for the purchase of the
Colorado & Southern by the Burlington.
This business is estimated to be worth
between $1,000, 900 and 5000, 900 in traf-
fic annually and this the Southern Paci-
tic and its connections have been literal
ly taking out of Hill territory
One of the main items OF tonnage
which the Hill lines have for years been
losing because of no Gulf connections is
no less than 1000, 900 bushels of wheat,
the carrying of which would pay a good
dividend on the stock of the newly ac-
quired Hill line.

RAILROAD NEWS OF THE WEEK
SNOW MAKES TROUBLE
ON RAILROAD

Snow driven by strong wind covered
up the railroad track between Cut Bank
and Midvale in bad shape this week
and traffic has been demoralized. Pas
senger trains during the first part of the
week were held on each side of the
storm-swept country while efforts were
being made to clear the track.
All the available handling ma
chinery was brought into service, and a
constant fight has been kept up against
the elements, but it has been strenuous
work. A dozer would cut path through
the snow at times, but before train
could follow through the cut would be
again drifted full. At one time one of
the dozers got stuck in the snow, and
before it could back out the track filled
up behind it and another dozer had to
give assistance to get the first one out.
Besides the snow machinery, a crew OF
80 men with shoyels has been employed
OH the track just east of the summit.
The storm has been one of the most Sc
we're IN the history OF the road and the
efforts of the railroad people have been
taxed to the utmost in fighting the
snow. A great deal OF credit is due the
Whitetish officials for their excellent
work, for had it not been for their cap
able and strenuous efforts the conditions
would have been much worse.
A slide at Skyland on Friday started
off the troubles of the week and was the
cause of the first tie-up during the
storm. The slide of snow was also
sprinkled through with logs and rocks,
so that it was hard to handle with the
snow-fghting apparatus. Traffic was
held back OH account of the slide until
Saturday, and then other troubles came
thick and fast on the east side of the
mountains.

In WILD AND WOOLLY
WEST

Sullivan Thursday charged with carrying
concealed weapons, and was sentenced to

SAW MILL AND PLANER
TO OPERATE

Everything indicates that the Somcrs
Lumber Co.'s mill at Whitefsh will be
run full blast during the coming saving
season. 1t is stated on good authority
that this is the intention of the company,
and from the way logs are being put in
there seems to be no doubt that the mill
will run. The only thing that might
prevent the operation of the mill, it is
said, would be a falling off in the de-
mand for lumber, such as prevailed last
year.
Altogether about ten million feet of
logs will be put in for the mill here by
the various contractors, and if the de-
mand for lumber is what it is expected
to be the mill will start as soon as the ice

SENATORIAL CHOICE BY
THE PEOPLE

State Senator Edward Donlan has in
troduced a bill in the senate providing
for the placing of the names of senatorial
candidates upon the official ballot, to the
end that the people may have an oppor-
tunity to express their preference of the
candidates.
According to the terms of the bill it is
necessary for senatorial candidates to file
statement as to the party with which
they are affiliated and agreeing to qualify
If elected. A petition signed by at least
90 qualified electors in each county must
also be filed.
Under the terms of the bill the people
would have chance to express their
choice for senator, but the members of
the legislature, of course, would not be
bound to observe their wishes.
