NEW INVENTION BY
WHITEFISH BOYS

Scientists who are supposed to
know, have given it out that when
the earth passes thru the tail OF
Halley's comet, life will be snuffed
out of every living being by the
poisonous fumes that will be emit
ed from it.
To prevent any such accident
happening, Chas. Smith, the evel
scheming engineer, in company
with Ole Sletten and Jim Dyer, two
other bright and ambitious youne
men, have secured a patent on
what they call 'Halley's Comet
Protector" and during the pas
week have been disposing of great
deal of stock, mostly gaseous W.
think. 1t will be a joke on the boys
if they cannot get the people inter
ested in this invention and they
should be the only ones left on earth

FISH FOR
FLATHEAD WATERS

Flathead Lake has been replen-
tished with 400, 600 trout and Lake
Superior Whitefsh, when Fish
Commissioner G. H. Healea ar
rived with eight cans" of the min
nows from the Anaconda hatchery
It was the intention of Commits
sioner Healea to put the whitefsh
directly in Flathead lake, as they
are adapted to lakes better than to
rivers, but upon lea: ming that Som
ers bay frozen over when he ar
rived Saturday evening, he had the
fish hauled to the steel bridge and
released through hole in the ice.
1t is expected the minnows will
drift down stream and reach the
lake as we'll as if they had been put
directly in.-Inter Lake.

SLIPPED AND
BROKE HIS LEG

On Monday evening about seven
O'Clock, as Sam Eltringham was
going up Central avenue, he slipped
on the sidewalk between the Com
bination saloon and Luke Dillon's
building and broke the large bone
in his leg just above the ankle.
Several passers-by seeing him
fall, picked him up and carried
him to the Milwaukee hotel, where
a doctor was called to set the frac-
tured limb. He is now resting
easy, but it will probably be sew
eral months before he will be able
to walk without crutches.

INFORMATION FROM
SENATOR DIXON

P. L. Forcum has made home
stead entry on valuable piece of
land near Cut Bank, upon which
he has already made several hun
dred dollars worth Of improve
ments, and according to the law he
should commence residence on it
the first of March. On February
10th, the report spread thru the
newspapers that the time had been
extended to May Is, but he didn't
like to take any chances of losing
his land on the strength of this re-
port, SO began making inquiries at
the various land Offices for authentic
information, but none of them had
yet received the advice regarding
this new ruling, go to make certain
without a doubt, he wired to Sena-
tor Jos. M. Dixon at Washington,
D. c., and received copy of the
law with the following answer.
Homestead entrymcn who were
required by law to establish resi-
dence after December" first are
granted until May fifteenth within
which to make entry or establish
residence upon their land. Have
mailed copy Of law.''

ber of Whitefish people, who have
taken up homesteads on the east
side of the range, and thought they
would have to move there the first
of next month.

ELECTRIC Line SUR
VEY COMPLETED HERE

E. A. Rice and his crew Of men
have now completed the survey Of
the Whitefish Poison Electric Rail
way at this end of the line, aud
have gone back to Kalispell to finish
making the survey from there,
south to Poison.
AS the line is now laid out it
comes up along Blanchard lake and
enters town from the west, crossing
the river at the foot of Fourth street.
1t runs along Fourth street to Lup-
fer avenue, up Lupfer to Second
street and down Second to Spokane
avenue and thence to the depot on
Spokane, where there will be a loop
and then come up Central avenue.
Mr.. Rice states that he has Sc
cured a., excellent route. The
grade is not more than one per cent
at any place and runs thru a fine
piece of very rich country which
will develope fast when this line is
put in.
1t will not be long before this
survey will be finished, and when
the details of cost and construction
are worked out and this data is
complete, the company will &C
ahead with the construction.
An electric railway from here to
Poison will mean that Whitefisf

men do not want any favoritism
shown and believe that all the men
should be treated alike, one way or
the other, claiming that if the older
men are to have the privelage of
jumping back and forth where ever
they please they never can tell
where they are at and never can
feel settled, because they never know
when a man from the other divi-
sion wiz come over and bump them
out of a good job and upset all
plans.
At the last meeting of the B. oi
l.. E. this question was put to a
vote of the members, and the
ballots were mailed Tuesday to the
committee in St. Paul, who is TAX
ing the matter up before the gener-
al manager.

soon as possible. It was ordered
that 20 per cent of the stock be
paid into the treasury to meet the
current expenses that come up, and
bids will be advertised for in a few
days.
No longer is the new brick bank
building only dream of the fu-
ture. 1t is all down on paper now
and before very many more days
we will see a crew of men at work
excavating for the basement.
Architect Riffo was up yesterday
with the complete plans and speci-
fications, which were accepted by
the directors, and it now only re-
mains for them to dig in" with
the actual building operations.
The whole set of officers and
stock holders in this enterprise are
live men and enthusiastic boosters
from the word go, so it is an assured
fact that they will not leave any
stones unturned to push the work
along as quickly as possible.

DIVISION RIGHTS
NOT STlLLED

The question of division rights
has not yet been fully settled be-
tween the engineers and the rail-
road company. The Great North
ern wants to give the engineers who
were promoted before June 1908,
the privilege of holding seniority
rights on both the Kalispell and
Spokane divisions, and the men
promoted after this date to hold
rights on either one or the other
divisions only.
A number of the old engineers
favor this, but the majority of the

justice court before Judge Carr last
Thursday afternoon. Several wit

his behalf, but the evidence sub
mitted by the complaining witness
convinced the judge that he was
guilty of the charge and fined
him 500. Endersberry does not
feel satisfied with the decision and

and out of Havrc to Spokane. The
talk of taking off the fast mail be-
tween the Twin Cities and Seattle
has proven to be entirely a rumor
and one i'll founded, for the report
comes now that the fast mail is to
be permenant fixture.
The Great Northern will carry all
of the Puget Sound and Alaskan
mail and good portion of the Ore
gon mail that was formerly carried
by the Union Pacific and O. S.. L.
roads.
Mail cars are to be put on the

convenience to all the people living
along the line. These cars will be
combination cars and the clerks will
make their homes in Havre or Will

also scheduled for points between
Havre and Cut Bank. The traffic

that they had had very enjoyable
time.
About half the dancers were ar

brakemen, G. NJ. England and I.
f.. Kurtz, and Firemen w. H.
Ebling, J. J. Hunt and Engineer
John Mas, who were deadheading
from Essex to Wlitefish.
This is one OF the regular passen-
ger engines, the 1881, but it had
been used the night before to take a
train to Essex, where they turned
around and were returning light.
The accident happened at Eagan
siding when they were running
about 80 miles per hour. The
cause of the accident is not yet
positively known, but it has been
said that rc-railing frog dropped
from the pilot of the engine under
the wheels and caused it to jump
the track. 1t happened to be at Il
place where there was wide, open
space along the track and when the
engine left the rails it cut across
country and headed for the river,
without doing any damage to the
track whatever. The ground was
frozen hard and it ran along on top
of it until it came to the edge of the
bank and then tipped over on its
side with the caboose following be-
hind Which caught fire and burned.
The accident happened SO quick
ly that no one had time to Jump
land how it is that all were not
killed is somewhat of mystery.
Engineer Lucas escaped with
three bad gashes on the side of his
head. Fireman Smith was the
most seriously injured. He was
pinned under the wrccEage and be-
fore he could be dug out he was
badly burned by steam escaping
from a broken pipe. He also had
some very bad cuts on the side of
his face.
The men in the caboose received
but slight injuries. Conductor
Murphy escaped with only a few
scratches by being thrown out Of
the cupalo window, but the two
brakemen had their faces cut with
broken glass and were somewhat
bruised. Firemen Hunt and Eb-
ling we're practically uninjured,
while John Mas received deep
cut on his under lip and had his
hand slightly burned. The caboose
was in flames before the men were
all we'll out, and was consumed in
q few minutes, before the boys
could rescue their belongings.
At the time it was bitter cold
and quite a blizzard was raging,
which made it rather uncomfortable
for the injured, but they were soon
; brought to Whitefish on a special
: train and placed in the hospital
e where they are all getting along
nicely.

varied descriptions, and grotesque
masks, portraying all manner OF
subjects, adorned their faces, max
ing a weird and motley looking
crowd.
There were cowboys, Indians,
squaws. hoboes. sailors, clowns,
negroes and in fact every known
character that could BE- represented
bv men and women. There were
beautiful costumes, comical cos
tunes and original costumes that
showed great skill and taste on the
part of the owners in making them
up. When the time came for un-
masking there were many surprises
sprung on those who thought they
knew who were behind the masks.
At II O'Clock the masqueraders
were formed in a grand march
around the hall, and committee
of five disinterested parties picked
out the persons whom they thought
in their judgement was entitled to
the prizes.
Miss Irene Leopold was awarded
the first prize for being the finest
dressed lady. She ilnpersonated a
Spanish girl. F. A. Flanagan,
dressed as a page, received the prize
for being the finest dressed gentle
man. They each received a silk
umbrella.
For the most original characters.
Miss Phillips as an Indian maiden,
and Ed. Christensen as a cowboy,
were pickel as winers, and each
received a pair Of kid gloves. For
the most comical costume, Mrs. E.
Edstrom was awarded the ladies'
prize. She was dressed as one Of
the Gold Dust Twins and received
an alarm clock. Roy Martin as a
hobo made hit with the crowd
and received hat for his make up.
There were many other costumes
that deserve mention for their orig.
inality. Among them were; Mrs
J. D. Perdue had a very neal
make up. Miss Whiting's costume
came very near winning for her the
first prize, and Mrs. Ramay anc
Mrs. Martin made their costumes
out Of old copies Of the Pilot in 8
very neat and original way which
attracted considerable attention.
The dance was a success socially
and financially as we'll, and a nea
little sum will be laid away in tn,
treasury of the fire department as
result.

JEFFRIES MAKES
PRINCELY income
HAS BEEN COMING BETWEEN
5000 AND $1,000 PER WEEK
ON PRESENT TOUR.

Chicago, Jan. 4.-James ]. Jeffries is
earning between $4,000 and $1,000 a
week on his present tour of one-night
stands, despite the fact that he and
Berger have not been allowed in many
cities, including Chicago. to put on
their sparring exhibitions, exactly the
same exhibition to which no objection
was made when they toured the vaude-
vile and music halls circuit.
This golden harvest for Johnson's
future opponent Is the result of an
exceedingly liberal percentage con-
tract, which according to those close
to the Jeffries' camp yielded the big
Californian an amount exceeding $4,000
on the poorest week of the tour with
an average around $4,000 Gotch is
working under a straight salary OF
81 900 week
Followers of the fighting game who
saw Jeffries in action at the Coliseum
Saturday night were almost unanimous
in their opinion that the undefeated
champion will get into shape to restore
the heavyweight title to the white
race
The agility and apparent ease with
which the Californian went through
the various stunts to give the crowd
an idea of his condition, coupled with
the physical test, turned many skepti-
cal fans In his favor.
