HAD TO DYNAMITE
THE SNOW SLIDE

Over 600 kegs of black powder,
besides sufficient dynamite to stir
it, was used in blasting the second
snow slide at Highgate last week,
according to Superintendent w. R.
Smith, of the Kalispell division,
Great Northern railway, who was
here Saturday night, with his left
bower, Teddy Van. Mr.. Smith
said the second slide was the worst
he has ever been up against in rail-
reading in these mountains, and
but for the happy suggestion of a
subordinate that powder be tried,
the slide would have necessitated
shoveling bit by bit, and dragging
out the trees and rocks which every
where intruded. This slide was
$50 feet long and so feet deep, the
third victim Swede named Peter
Hansen, was caught and killed in
it. 1t took nearly three days and
nights to get the track clear, and
by the superintendent orders
every available section hand OF
working man from Cut Bank tc
Troy, was hurried to the slide and
put into service. The rotaries were
helpless up against this slide,
which was composed of as much
rock and timber as there was snow
and a most difficult problem to
clear.
Wherever the slides were clear
snow, as on the Fernie branch, il
was no trick at all for the rotaries
to go thru, their powerful engines
throwing snow from the tunnels
from 60 to 80 feet. Teddy Var
has been in charge of one of thu
rotaries and did mighty good ser
vice during the blockade Kal
ispell Bee.

SWITCHMEN'S
STRIKE TO BE ENDED

On February 7, switchmen in
the northwest who have been on
strike since November 30, will re-
turn to work. Practically all
strikers will be in there old places.
They will resume work with the
wage question unsettled, but they
will be governed by figures agreed
upon in the Chicago compromise
conference. This information came
today from a source close to the
heads of the switchmen's union.
Unless there should be hitch next
week this program will 60 thru.

THE RAILROADS
MORE FRIENDL Y

That there has been a decided
change in the attitude of the public,
especially in the west, toward the
railroads and the question arising
out of railroad operation, is fire.
quently made evident nowadays.
The radical intolerance which
characterized public sentiment two
Or three years ago, is giving place
to rational desire to see the rela-
tions of public and railroads put on
better basis. There is recognition
of the interdependance Of the
agencies of transportation and the
communities they serve, and the
corollary of that interdependance is
that fair treatment on both sides is
necessary, says the Minneapolis
Journal.
Evidence of this changed attitude
is usually apparent when some
great railroad builder, like James ]
Hill, appears on the platform at a
public gathering. Mr.. Hill, busy
man though he is, readily responds
to such calls, and is usually re-
ceived with the utmost enthusiasm
His plea that the farmers of the
west ought to remain good neigh
bors with the railroads was enthus-
iastically received. The incident
would have been almost impossible
at any farmers gathering four OF
five years ago, although Mr.. Hill
The Whitefish pilot. [volume] (Whitefish, Mont.) 1904-current, 1910-02-03

permitted the hostility and preju-
dice against him, which his reti-
cence no less than his policies had
aroused, to continue and to grow.
The great railroad problems are
largely unsolved as yet. We are
again approaching their serious
consideration in congress. The
president has outlined far-reaching,
constructive legislation. In the
changed attitude of public and rail-
roads toward each, other, there is
promise of solutions of these prob
lens with justice to both sides.
The Whitefish pilot. [volume] (Whitefish, Mont.) 1904-current, 1910-02-03

himself, by reason of his intelligent
interest in farming and far-sighted
understanding of it's needs, has
always been a welcome guest at
farmers gatherings.
Nor has the change been entirely
on the part of the public. The
railroads themselves have moved
over to position that has made
the public's attitude possible.
They have abandoned such
ancient and revered principles Of
rate-making as that expressed
by All the traffic will bear"
They have come to a realization of
the fact that, deriving their rights
to act as common carriers from the
public, they are charged with GER
tain duties toward the public that
created them.
The more enlightened and prac-
teal railroad men are sparing no
effort to establish better relations
with the public at all points OF
contact. Station agents and train
men are instructed to be polite and
accommodating to patrons.
They are to exert themselves to
the utmost in this direction, for the
great managers realize that on such
little things is public sentiment
founded.
Mr.. Hartman himself, before his
death, completely changed his atti'
tude toward the public, and toward
the public's humble servants, thu
reporters. This change sprant
from realization that the success
Of his plans was impossible if HI

A snow slide in the Cascades
caused all east bound trains to be
annulled Monday night.
Engineer Bill Adams is now pull
ling the mail train on the east end
while Walt Corners is off sick.
On account Of the shortage of
conductors due to the delayed
trains, w. w. Smith took the fast
mail out Tuesday.
General Chairman of the B. of
L. E. stopped off Monday, on his
tour over the system, to meet with
the boys here.
J. Vanderslies, superintendent of
the express, was here the first part
Of the week getting the new express
man started off.
Agent J. E Hills has leen on
the sick list for the past week and
Assistant Superintendent Carswell
is acting in his place.
Brakeman Boggs, who has been
running on the main line for some
time past, has taken the Kalispell
dinky and is now making his home
in Kalispell.
Conductor Earl Warren returned
from Libby Sunday, where he spent
a few days last week and reports
that he found everything in the
new county in a fourishing con-
dition.
Business appears to be picking up
in railroad circles at Havre. The
shops are now working full time
and the force has recently been in
creased by the addition of Is new
machinists.
In effect from March 1, to April
is, the Great Northern will sell
second class tickets from St. Paul
Minneapolis, Duluth, Superior and
Sioux City points, to points in Mon
tana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington
and British Columbia for $25.
Dad" Davis, the popular tray
cling engineer on this division, is a
very obliging and accommodating
sort of a chap, and for the benefit
!. of those who may become thus .f-
fected, they should apply to him
for the best remedy to cure cramp
in ones leg.
The Great Northern has found
that the rapid increase of business
at Somers calls for some very ex-
tensive improvements in the dock
facilities. A new dock is to be
built there at once in different
location from the old one and side
track will be constructed to it.
Conductor J. w. Donaldson has
now moved back from Kalispel
and is again located in his home al
Lakeside. During the time the
road was tied up last week by the
snow slides at Highgate he had the
pleasure of taking his trair

road men express it, or in othe,

of their number had been ARRESTED
for beating up an Irish straw-bos

Short Meter Sermons.

Saints seldom suffer from a
sense of superiority.
A good man is never blind to
the good in other men.
Unity of aim is more than
identity of appearance.
Faith does more than defend
old facts, it makes new ones.
He can never know men who
will not stop to know children.
Some men come near proving
the devil when they argue on
their god.
No man gets far in the bust
ness of living who lives only for
business.
He who sets his sails to the
winds of applause steers with
his back to the future.
One is not necessarily enroute
to glory because he has turned
his back on other sinners.
A present annoyance will try
out sainthood much better than
a prospective martyrdom.

Don't think for minute that
woman loves her friends with
the same intensity that she hates
her enemies.
Don't Judge a mans ability by
what he gets instead Of by what
he earns.
Don't argue with man who
talks loud. You couldn't con-
vince him in a thousand years.
Don't boast of your good judg-
ment every time you happen to
have a good guess.
Don't forget that conscience
makes more buffers than it does
towards.
Don't lend your influence with
the expectation Of getting it back.
Don't put much faith in men
who are afraid to say Il don't

Don't judge a mans possess

Don't neglect your family in
order to pose as a public bene-
factor.
Don't imagine you can tell
what a woman means by what
she says.

The good fellow" fooIishness
has ruined many a good fellow.
Of course there is room at the
top, but there is a great need of
good men at the bottom.
Those who fight the devil with
fire ought to first provide them
selves with asbestos suits.
Perhaps the increased pace of
living has something to do with
the increased cost of living.
When we measure man with
our own yardstick we need not
be surprised if he appears short.
Every time we try to eat a cold

some one hasn't discovered a way
to store up last summers sun

The Man Higher Up!"

Did it ever strike you as pecu-
liar that the man higher up"
seldom gets caught?
A year or two ago they inves-
tigated the insurance frauds, and
enough corruption was unearth-
ed to make an offal factory smell
like otter of roses. Somebody
profted to the extent of millions
by those frauds, but the man
higher up" wasn't touched; the
men who pocketed the stolen
millions went free, and if we
remember rightly the only fellow
cinched by the law was salaried
clerk.
The sugar trust profted to the
extent Of millions by doctored
weights. Who got the money?
The men higher up" but to
date the only ones punished were
the hired men-the men who
obeyed orders and drew pennies
in wage while their employers
pocketed thousands as profits.
What's the use of trying to re-
form things as long as the men
responsible for the abuses go
scott free, and the men punished
are merely the tools?
The man higher up" is the
man to get. Until he is made to
suffer the punishment the abuses
will continue.

Leonard Sheets, a farmer, near
Greenville, had a somewhat ua-
usual experience with a huge
water moccasin. Mr.. Sheets Lad
placed a drain pipe in a pond on
his farm and when the pipe be-
came clogged, causing tn e
ground about the pond to become
flooded with water, he COM
to investigate. Going
to the mouth of the drain pipe
he poked the handle of a rake in
to the pipe and found that it
was completely choked by huge
serpent that had crawled into it.
The snake upon being dragged
with a rake from the pipe, at
tackled Mr.. Sheets, who quickly
killed it. The reptile measured
ten feet in length.

Speaks for the Miners.

On the floor of the House last
Tuesday, Congressman D. c. Ed
wards made a ringing speech in
favor of government aid in pro-
tecting the miners of the coun>
try from the dangers which men
ace them in their work. He was
given careful attention by his
colleagues. Mr.. Edwards spoke
in part as follows:
1T seems to me-" said he,
there is no more important mat
ter pending in Congress to day
than the question of better pro
lection to the lives of our coal
miners: The experience of other
countries already demonstrates
that the appalling loss of life, as
shown by the statistics in this
country can be prevented.
I'm many other countries
where the general government
has undertaken this work they
have reduced their ratio Of NOR
tally from accident bit in our
mines, left to the State regula-
ton, the death rate has greatly
increased. | am in favor of gov
eminent inquiry into and inves-
tigation of the varied agencies
of mining, in favor of ascertain
ing the cause Of accidents, in ia
vor of a thorough investigation
of the methods of supplying air
to the mine workers.
tThe coal miner has a right
to know when he leaves his fam
lily in the morning to go into the
ground and dig coal that they
may have food and raiment, that
he is not stepping into a death
trap of foul gases or falling slate.
That is in line with Republican
policies a n d platform pledges,
and it is just and deserves recog-
milton of the demands and the
rights of a very large number of
our citizens.
