Can't Get Damages

The Montana supreme court has hand
ed down an opinio ion of far-reaching i'm
portance in the case of the damage suit
of the Dillon heirs against the Great
Northern, the court holding that mas
much as death was instantaneous, the
heirs have no grounds for action. The
opinion says:
eff a cause of action arose in favor OF
the injured employe prior to his death,
the right of action which he thus had
survives and may be prosecuted by his
heirs or personal representatives. Hence
the question: Did cause of action
arise in favor Of Dillon prior to his death ?
Death having been instantaneous, the
opinion holds that no cause existed with
or survived Dillon, and declares that all
in which category the fellow servant act
of 1905 is placed, survival statutes, So
called, presuppose that deceased had at
one time right of action for damages.
Hence the opinion that there was not
any survival of right of action and the
dismissal thereof.

YOUNG MAN IS FOUND
DEAD

Coroner Waggener and Undersheriff
Al Ingraham went to Swan Lake Sunday
evening and brought to Kalispell the
body of Ed Glines, who was either acci-
dentally killed or committed suicide, SAYS
the Inter Lake. Gllnes was one of a
party of four who were cutting logs, and
were occupying cabin a half mile from
the lake. Yesterday about eleven O. clock
he went to the cabin to begin preparations
for dinner. When the other members OF
the party went to the cabin they found
him lying on the floor with bullet
wound in his head. The bullet had en-
tered his eye and penetrated the brain,
death being undoubtedly instantaneous.
BY his side was lying an old 3S caliber
revolver.
1t is unknown whether it was accident
or suicide, though it is believed to be the
latter. Coroner Waggener was telephoned
to and an examination of the premises
was made by him and Mr. Ingraham,
and it was decided that no inquest was
necessary.
Glines was about 26 years old, and un-
married. His mother in the east has
been notified of his death, and the coro-
ner is awaiting instructions as to the
disposition of the body.

WORK STARTS ON NEW
SIDETRACKS

The Great Northern is to build two ad
ditional sdetracks in the Whitetish yards
the work having been officially author
lied, and Oh Monday the work of clear,
ing the ground for the tracks was started
In order to make room, some of tn,
small buildings on the right-o viii
have to be moved The two new tracks
are to run the full length of the yards.
The addition of these tracks to the To-
cal yards shows plainly that large vol
ume of business is expected for this divi
sion soon, for there is not enough busi
ness at present to require such an addi
ton to the terminal facilities
1t has been supposed that some extr.
stalls would also be built on the round
house this spring, but this work has no
as yet been authorized.

WILL HAVE DAYLIGHT
TRAIN SERVICE

According to H. A. jackson, assistant
general freight and passenger agent of
the Great Northern, the schedule of
trains being arranged for the Kansas
City-Seattle service via the Burlington
and Great Northern, which will go into
effect May 23, will give Great Falls day
light trains, says the Great Falls Tribune.
Mr.. jackson, in recent interview,
stated that all arrangements for this SER
vice had been completed. The west
bound train will make the greater part
of tine run from Billings to Great Falls in
the day time, giving the passengers a
| chance to see the Judith country. The
train will reach Great Falls at 3 O'Clock
in the afternoon.
Going east, the Kansas City train will
leave Great Falls about o clock in the
morning, so that the run to Billings will
be made in the day time. The schedules
will be arranged with daylight run
through central Montana in view, and
leaving and arriving times at the termin-
ais will have to conform to that idea.
Work upon the balasting of the var
ious branches of the Great Northern out
of this city will be resumed in few
weeks and in a short time a large army
of workmen will be employed in the
gravel pits, upon the trains and along
the tracks.
Between the lst and the 10Th of April
the Great Northern will place in opera
ton three steam shovels, one at Brady
pit, one at Portage pit and one at Wicks

WHlTEFISH MAN STRIKES
IT RICH

w. c. McKelvey, the tailor, received
news this week from his father that a
company in which he is interested in
Pennsylvania had struck gas in large
quantities in well which was being
bored. According to the letter, the flow
of gas amounts to two million feet day,
which is sufficient to mean fortune to
the lucky owners.
The well is located in Clarion county,
near PitIsburg, and the company, which
is known as the Mckelvey Oil and Gas
Co., has over POO acres of adjoining land
leased. Mr.. Mckelvey and his father

BANK BUYS CORNER LOTS
AND WILL BUILD

The First National bank of Whitefsh
has been negotiating this week for
the purchase of two lots owned by r. w.
Main at the corner of Central avenue and
Second street, and the deal, it is under
stood, has practically been closed. These
lots are located in the very heart of the
business section, this corner being with
out doubt the best in town from bust
ness standpoint.
While absolutely nothing definite has
been decided upon, further than the pur-
chase of the lots, directors of the bank
admit that it is the intention, if there is
no hitch in the proceedings, to erect a
fine brick structure upon the corner,
which the bank will occupy. That this
will be done is almost certain, as ma
tional bank, according to the law, can not
buy real estate to hold as part of the
banks assets, except that which may be
necessary for a building site.
No building plans have as yet been
drawn, and it will necessarily take some
time to get building started, but that
the bank building will be erected at least
within few months is practically GER
tain
The purchase of these lots by the bank
is the best news that has come to White
fish in a long time, as it indicates plainly
what those who are in position to know
think of the towns future. Local people
own considerable stock in the institution,
but much of it is also held by parties
who are in close touch with the Great
Northern. That they have implicit faith
in the future of Whitefish could not be
more forcibly Indicated.

Will BUILD FIRST CLASS
HOTEL

Mrs. II. A. Shoaf has purchased from
G. Schweigel the two corner lots across
the street east from the McCabe- Corbett
store.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shoaf intend to erect a
first class hotel OH these lots just as soon
as arrangements can be made, the de-
tails of which are not yet ready to be
given out. 1t can be said, however, that
the building will be good-sized one,
plenty large enough to handle the bust
ness of the town, and the place will be
first class in every respect.

PRESIDENT TAFT'S
TRIP TO THE WEST.
September Is He Starts on Record Trip
Across the United States, Ma
king 40 Set Speeches.

On September Is President Taft
will start out on trip to the west
and south that will break all records
of executive travel.
Three other presidents of the United
States have Travelled to the far Pacific
coast.
Harrison, Mckinley and Roosevelt all
went on handshaking and speechma-
king jaunts.
In the matter of miles to be covered
Taft will not wobble the Roosevelt
record of 1903, for he expects to travel
only little more than $4,000 miles this
fall. When his predecessor went to
the Coast six years ago he reeled off
13, 900 miles before his return to Wash
ington. 1t is in the line of economy
that Taft will leave his predecessors
hopelessly behind. In the tour he is
planning he will be accompanied all the
way by his old friend Democratic Sim
plicity. He will not travel in special
train.
Looping across a map Of the United
States, the route of President Taft +
"swing around the-circle - touches 80
states and two territories.
When the chief executive Of the ma
tion climbs aboard his special car al
Beverley, Mass, on the morning OF
September IS, he will start on a 1900
mile jaunt, partly by rail and partly
by steamboat, such as has never be
fore been attempted by president Of
the United States.
On the journey President Taft vii
make 40 speeches; be will view thu
fruit orchards of California, Washing
ton and Oregon, the cotton fields o
Texas. and the rice plantations O
southern Louisiana. He will be guide
down the broad reaches of the Missis
sippi by Mark Twain, aboard a pala
tial. specially-equipped steamboat.
And when, on November 10, he step
of his train at Washington, d. c., {
guide congress through its regular se'
sion he will have had an oppOrtunit
such as is afforded to but few men Z
know from personal observation jus
what the nation needs in the way q
sectional legislation.
