night. The gathering of the friends
and relatives at the Norton home was
q complete surprise to their host and
hostess, yet they entered into the
spirit of the evening with vigor and
freshness that made the golden jubi-
less all the more like that of the we'd
ding of a half century ago. The Nor
ton home was profusely decorated
with roses and carnations Two large
tables full of flowers We're among the
gifts Of their friends, and in the cen

referred to by Mr.. Ballard in few
sincere remarks as typifying the pur-
ity of the life Of Mrs. Norton. During
the marriage ceremony, Mr.. and Mrs.
Norton wore some of the clothes
which graced their appearance at
their original marriage. At $3.50 a
sumptuous wedding supper was serv-
Z ed. The singing of their favorite HYMN,

The shocks this morning were IN

eight and ten seconds. 1t is said this
earthquake was of greater severity

SCHNEIDER IN HAVRE

The following item, taken from the
Havre Plaindealer, will be of interest to
many Whitefish people who were &C.
quainted with H. R. Schneider, who
formerly made his home here:
"H. r. Schneider and brother this
week purchased the Hubs tailoring de-
partment and Will open up a first class
shop the first of the week in Cowan &
Boles' building. Mr.. H. r. Schneider
will be remembered we'll by the dressy
men of Havre as the young man who
had charge of the Hub tailoring depart
ment four years ago, and at that time
made many friends in this city who will
be valuable asset to him now that he
is entering business for himself. After
leaving Havre Mr.. Schneider conducted
tailor shop at Whitetish for two years,
and disposed of the business to enter into
partnership with his father in Helena.
He recently graduated from the famous
Croonborg Sartorial academy of Chicago,
and no more finished or expert tailor is
to be found in the state"

THE FIREMAN

Here's to the fireman, working all night,
Keeping the fire all glowing and bright,
Pausing moment to straighten his back,
And again to his work, for of work there 3
no lack.
The tireman's hand is not the hand
That guides the powerful work of man,
The engine, up the mountains steep,
And through the tunnels, dark and deep,
And DER the bridges that sway and swing
AT the touch of the almost human thing.
But the treman's work must the fireman do,
And his arm is steady ana strong and true
The pick and the shovel the fireman wields,
And he watches the needle until it yields,
And rises higher, and higher still,
For the painting engine must climb the hill,
His face is black and his clothes are soiled,
His hands are rough and hardened with toll,
But truer heart man never possessed
Than the heart that lies in the freman's 5
breast
Now this is the thought for the fireman as
he goes upon his way:
The engineer of tomorrow is tho fireman of
today.
BE strong and steady and faithful, and Sod
will be your guide.
And some day you will be tho man who sits
on the right hand side.

Engineer r. A. Forcum returned last

A number of Northern Pacific trainmen
have been arrested at Livingston,
charged with stealing merchandise from
box cars.
Freight trains are now running over
the st. Regis-Paradise cutoff ON tie
Northern Pacific, and passenger trains
will run over the new track in about a
month.
Vast improvements to the roadbed and
right of way of the Burlington railroad
from Billings to Sheridan are to be made
during the coming spring and summer,
according to unofficial information which
has been received in Billings.
The Great Falls Tribune states that it
is rumored in railroad circles that John
F. Stevens, formerly chief engineer of
the Great Northern, later chief engineer
at Panama, and subsequently connected
with the New Haven road, is about to
return to the Hill system.
The Great Northern Railroad company
has decided to develop the coal field in
the vicinity Of Broadview on the Billings

several coal filings were made in the
land office recently by people who have
prospected the country around Broadview.

MAY BUILD NORTH AND
SOUTH ROAD

While in town on Monday Sheriff w.
H. OConnell gave out the information
that railroad surveying party has ar
rived i'll kalispell to do preliminary work
on north and south line, presumably
between Somcrs and some point on the
Northern Pacific.
The Great Northern has heretofore
made surveys of various routes through
the reservation, and as that body of land
is to be opened to settlement, the opinion
has been held by many that the new line
would be built this year. The arrival of
the civil engineers, in charge of f. w.
Watkins, makes it appear fairly certain
that something may be done.
The Kalispell Daily Inter Lake tells
the story as follows:
Mention was made yesterday of the
arrival of party of railroad engineers
with carload of equipment. Nothing
was given out by them for publication
yesterday, and the railroad men denied
any knowledge of what was intended.
They merely knew that a party of engi-
neers was here, but for what purpose
they did not know.
Last night and this morning the equip
ment that had been brought in was for
warded to Somers, and according to all
reports current today, Somers is to be the
headquarters, with other camps establish
cd al hn Of hn
down the east side of the lake and across
the reservation.
Today quite number of local young
men have been engaged to work with the
engineers, party going this afternoon to
Big Fork, where one camp will be estab-
lished. 1t is reported that they have
been engaged for two months or longer,
and there is a suggestion, not denied by
the engineers, that the intention is to To-
cate the line definitely from Somers to
Dixon, following the line of the old sur
vey, and that work will begin on con-
struction early in the spring.
The engineers are in charge of f. w.
Watkins, locating engineer, and while
Mr.. Watkins is mum about his plans,
and will say nothing whatever as to what
his instructions are, the appearances all
indicate that the men have come to stay,
and expect to be here for a long time.
Another party of engineers is to arrive
the first of next week
While all these things might occur
without any definite intention on the
part of the railroad company to build
this spring, it is not probable they would
send the engineers here unless it were to
prepare for immediate building. The
lines were carefully run a number of
years ago, a big force of engineers work
ing on the proposed line for several
months. The railroad company has all
the information OF a general sort it has
any use for, and the move at this time
may be taken as fairly indicating an in
tention to build.

HUTCHINSON VISITS HOME

Representative f. NJ. Hutchinson came
in Saturday from Helena, where he is
attending the legislature, and spent the
day here.
In speaking of county division matters,
Mr.. Hutchinson stated that the bill in
troduced in behalf of Libby seems to be
in the lead, and if the county is DIVIDED
at all it will probably be upon the lines
proposed in this bill. About the only
opposition to the Libby bill comes from
Eureka, which town has bill of its own
which would place the dividing line Il
short distance west of Whitefish, and to
which there is opposition from various
parts of the county.

COOPERATIVE STORE IS
DISCUSSED

The cooperative store proposition was
thoroughly discussed on Monday night
in Masonic hall, at a meeting called by
the committee in charge OF the matter.
The committee reported that some
thing over 81 900 had been subscribed,
and that there were many others who
were ready to take stock in the institu-
ton, the opinion being that there would
be no trouble in pushing the matter
through to a successful end.
A motion prevailed to increase the
membership of the committee to five,
and w. w. Carter and Earl Brown were
appointed. A motion also carried to
create another committee for the same
purpose, to be composed of ladies, and
the chair appointed Mrs. F. Ferguson,
Mrs. J. Duncan, Mrs. W. A. Jones,
Mrs. Geo. Page and Mrs. J. H. Crum
The committees are to circulate the stock
subscription list thoroughly, and call

MAY CONSTRUCT MORE
SIDETRACKS

The railroad company is now figuring
upon the cost of putting in two full
length sidetracks on the north side of the
Whitefsh yards, and it is not improbable
that the work will be done during the
coming summer.
There has been times during the past
when the local sidetracks were entirely
inadequate for the business, and with the
traffic that seems assured this year the
extra sidetracks will be badly needed.

MORE STALLS NEEDED AT

1t is more than likely that during the

TROY GETS A LARGER
TURNTABLE

Authority has been given by Great
Northern officials for the construction of
new turntable at Troy, 80 feet long, to
replace the old 60-foot turntable.
The new turntable will be similar to
the one recently installed at Whitefsh,
and will enable the Troy yards to handle
the larger types of engines. Work will
probably be started soon.
