That the lives of three Whitefish
boys came to an untimely and ter
rible end in the wreck which occur
red at Chattaroy, Wash. Sunday NOR

doubted. as q thorough investiga-
tion has been made.

supposed were killed and their bo-
dies burned beyond recognition.
The boys left here Friday, Novem-

ably for their destination.
No alarm was felt at first that
they were the victems of this wreck
until some days later when a rail-
road man who knew the Hayes
boy and had seen them getting out
of Troy on the train that later
collided with the apple train,repor-
ted the matter in casual way.
Word was then sent to young
Hayes relatives in Hillyard to acer-
tain if they had arrived there, and
were informed that they had not
put in an appearance there.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown went to Spo-
kane last Friday to indentify the
remains, but found it impossible to
do so, the bodies having been burne
until they were unrecognizable, but
the circumstances leave no ground
for doubt as to their indentity.
Two bodies were found lying to-
gether, one across the other, and
the third was lying a few feet away
Edward Hayes went to Spokane
last Sunday to farther investigate
out up to going to press we have
obtained no word of his search.
1t is reported that three more
| bodies were found in the wreck
age making twelve i'll all that met
death in this accident.
The remains of the three young
men who are supposed to be from
here will be kert lin the mct'gue
at Spokane until thirty days ha!
expired, when they will be brough
here for burial.
The parents have the most sin
cere regrets of the citizens, in thi
their hour of sorrow.

It is exceedingly miraculous that
no fatalities resulted.

CAN GIVE PASSES

In denying a motion for rehear-

the tenth of this month outlined ia,

sue free transportation, but, in the
opinion written by Justice Smith
ses upon which the court is not full

the rail road companies themselves.
The courts opinion in full is as fol-

"The APPELLANT in this case has fill

are satisfied with the correctness of

head valley, we have this issue in
agurated an improvement in the
mechanical department that puts
this office on a par with any in
the valley.
1t has always been our policy to
give Whitefish the best newspaper
that the town will afford land we
have spared no pains to- make it
such. That our efforts have been
appreciated has been demonstrat-
ed during the past few months by
the long list of names we have
added to our mailing list. In order
to continue this policy and in order
and be up-to-date in every particu-
lar, we have installed the latest Jun
ior Linotype machine, with which
to grow and expand with the town
we set up our news matter each
week. and it is guaranteed to do
the work of four or five hand COM
positors. We have also added consid
cradle new job type and other lit
tie sundries that go to make: up a
first class print shop. With our new
newspaper and Job presses, equip
ped with electric motors that were
installed little over year ago,
we can say to the citizens of White
fish that we have one of the most
up to-date printing establishments
in the Flathead valley.
The new machine is a wonderful
mechanical device of steel, brass
and iron, whose actions are almost
human in it's work. It does every
thing but talk. BY operating the
key board it sets line after line

Now instead of having to stand up
to a case and pick up type one by
one with our fingers, much like a
hen picks up her morning meal,we
can sit in an easy chair and grind
out the news mater on a solid slug,
that there is never any danger of
"pieing", we'll, at the rate of-well
that will depend some what on our
ability to manipulate the keys-but
it will be 'steen times faster than
we can dig it out of the bottom of
an old empty case.
Frequently in the past we have
been compelled to omit important
items, that reached US to late to be
put in type before our regular hour
of going to press, or we have had to
boil it down as much, as possible
leaving out the details. Now such
contingencies are a thing of the past
and we will be able to print all the
latest news up to with in a few
minutes of going to press.
Added to this advantage. we can
always present to our readers a
paper printed from a brand new
face of type, or slugs, as the pro-
duct of the Linotype is called. After
being once used for an edition of
the paper, these slugs are not pre-

machine, there to be reduced into
a semi-fluid or molten state, and
subsequently cast into new type fol
the next edition.
The Junior Linotype Isl modifi-
cation of the standard Linotype anG
with the exception that it's scope is
somewhat limited, has all the stronl
points which made the parent mac
hine famous.
The Junior is so perfectly made
and constructed that it works au
tomatically at thetouch of the ope
rator, with such minute accuracy
that he is seldom ever required te
move from his seat in running uI
an entire column of news matter.
Besides straight and display com
position, many different borders TO
for use in advertisements and 9th

machine. We are thus equipped t.
handle our job work more expedi
tiously than ever. The increased ia
cilities which our Linotype gives u
will enable us to do work which w
had found it impossible to do here
tofore.
The Junior Linotype occupies
floor space approximately five fee
square and requires but one-quar
ter horsepower to operate it. Tn
net weight of the machine is abou

A tie had been placed across the

An investigation was immediate

the switch light had also been turne
