PAPER RAILROADS ON
INCREASE

The editor of the Columbian of
Columbia Falls is still smoking
the railroad dope pipe, and is badly
mixed in his conclusions. As near as
The Pilot can get at the truth of the rail
road situation, Columbia Falls is in
rather bad way, and it is probably
with the intention of covering up the
truth that the Columbian is publishing
unfounded and altogether improbable
stories.
1t has been reported in an unofficial
way for the past year that when the
main line is double-tracked from White
fish east over the mountains, the line
will be removed even farther from CO.
lumbia Falls than it is at present, and
the junction of the Kalispell branch will
be changed to Whtetsh.
The Milwaukee route to the North
Fork, 1t is stated, will run either through
Whtefish, or will follow along a higher
grade several miles east of Columbia
Falls.
Verify, the paper railroad game is one
at which all may take a hand.

MAY RUN A SUMNER
LOGGING CAMP

ID. B. Barber of the State Lumber Co.
was in town Wednesday looking into the
matter of starting summer logging
camp near here. The company owns
considerable land southwest of town
which 1t is desired to log during the sum-
mer months.
If the work is done the logs will be
placed in Whitetish river, between Cen
trail avenue and the dam, and it was
principally to look over this part of the
proposition that Mr.. Barber was here.
The logs in the river below central ave-
nue. would not interfere seriously with
boating, and if confined to this limit
there should be no objection to the pro-
ceeding from the boat owners. The sum-
mer camp would give work to quite a
number of men who would be tributary
to Whitefish.

DANCE TO RAISE FUNDS
FOR FOURTH

The committee in charge of the finances
for the Fourth of July celebration is
making arrangements for a dance in
Skyles' hall next Friday night. June IS.
The committee is in need of more
money than they have been able to get
so far, and the dance will be given in an
endeavor to help swell the fund. A
dance for this laudable purpose should
receive support from the citizens gen.
orally.
The committee desires to raise at least
$500 for the Fouth of July fund, in addi-
ton to what the japanese residents will
raise, which will probably be $500 or
S40O more. Even with this amount the
finances may run short. The committee
feels, however, that if celebration is
going to be pulled off it should be a good
one, and unless it can be made such it
would be better rot to celebrate at all.

DOUBLE TRACK

1t is now reported that the work of
double-tracking the main line of the
Great Northern over the Rocky no IN

ably in May. The report comes from

the double tracking were made over Il
year ago, but owing to the slump in bus
iness at that time construction work was
postponed.

OFF FOR THE MINES

Fred and Frank Micho left yesterday
with their supplies for trip to the min

to do some extensive development work
during the summer months, and will

time until winter.
The Micho brothers were the first to
locate claims in the mineral belt here,
and it was through their efforts that a
trail through the timber to the prospects
was cut out.

WOMAN SAYS SHE MARRIED
ADJT.-GENERAL HAMILTON

Olympia, Wash, Nov. 23-Charges
which lay Ortis Hamilton open to
suspicion of bigamy are being in
vestigated by officials here: Thus
far nothing has been found to sub
stantiate them, and only the accusa
ton is tangible. This accusation is
made by woman known variously
at Norah Hamilton and Nellie AL
len. Just after the expose of Ham
ilton's misconduct as acknowledgement
al, she was located in Oregon and
for time was mistaken for Hazel
Moore.
Calling herself Norah Hamilton.
she came to Olympia about two
years ago and registered at local
hotel as Mrs. Ortis Hamilton.
Friends of the Mrs. Hamilton ac-
cepted her as the wife of the adju-
tant-general; then Hamilton's real
wife, who is now at Occur d'Alene,
Idaho, appealed to the police and
Norah was forced to leave town.
Investigation of Hamilton's per-
sonal check books showed that he
had been sending money to two
women. presumably this one and
Hazel Moore.
