TIDINGS TO PEOPLE OF
WHlTEFISH.


news for Whitefish, bad news for
kalispell and Of some little import
ance to Columbia Falls, has come in
to the hands of this newspaper this
week, but like all railway building
information, is from "a reliable
source, but circumstances over which
we have no control, forbids nam
ing the source"
The following information, how
ever, has been verified, and by
railway official whose word can ab-
solutely be relied upon.
Word was sent out some time ago
from the construction department of
the Great Northern to the effect
that as soon as weather conditions
would allow, new track would be
built in the local yards to parallel
the main line as far west as the
present "Y,' in order that the
kallspell passenger trains might
back up to the depot here without
going on to the main line, as is be-
ing done at present.
Under the present arrangements
railway men have recognized for a
long time that it was dangerous and
inconyenient, besides causing the
lose of much time, to switch to the
main track, run east for a few hun
dred yards, and then switch onto
the short track which brings the
train next to the depot platform.
In fact, it was through the appli-
cation of the local officials that the
matter was first brought to the
attention of the head officers, and
caused their investigation, which re-
suited in the plans for the work.
Just when this work will be start
ed is not given out, but it is thought
that as soon as work on the double
tracking between the summit and
Java is thoroughly completed the
men will be brought here and the
excavasing and grading started.
The track will be about three
quarters of mile in length, and
will require considerable time in it's
construction, giving employment to
about 800 men, which is of consid-
cradle Importance to business circles
in Columbia Falls.
AS stated before, this will be good
news for Whitefish, for the reason
it will put a stop to the rumors of
abandoning the Rexford cutoff,
which has done more to retard the
growth of the division city
than any other one thing These
rumors have been persistently cir
culated in one way and another, but
mostly through the Kalispen news
papers.
In the opinion of railroad men,
this work practically eliminates the
Libby cutoff building, as there
would be no use of the new switch
here were that line to be built.
This information can be confirmed
If necessary, and the only doubtful
phase of the matter is the exact
date for the work to commence, but
that it will be this summer is prac-
tically certain.-Columbian

MRS. SAMSON RECOVERING.

Mrs. ]. A. Samson, who last week
broke both Of her wrists by falling
down the basement steps, is getting
along as well as can be expected
after such a narrow escape. She is
able to be up and around, but both
her hands are tied up in splints. so
that she is almost helpless. She is
suffering very little pain now, and
is resting very comfortably, and is
just as jovial as ever, despite her
helpless condition.

Anxious always to oblige I made haste to snatch at it and carry it out to its owner. I received sort of thank you and would never have re membered the occurrence if it had no, been for that murder and if'-she paused doubtfully-'if I had not rec sgnized the horse."

 "No. The snow was binding; be sides, he wore high collar, in which his head was sunk. down almost out of sight"
 "But the horse''-
 ''Was one which is often driven by here. Ask any one on tho hill in what stable you can find gray horse with a large black spot on his left shoulder. Now must dish up my dinner.'
 "Just one question. madam. Was the hat what folks call a derby? Like this one, madam" he explained, draw ing his own from behind his back.
 ''Yes, I think so. As well as I can remember it was like that. I'm afraid I didn't do it any good by my han ding. had to clutch it quick, and I'm sure bent the brim, to say noth- ing of smearing it with four marks. I had been cutting out biscuits, and my hands were white with fiour," she explained simply.
 Sweetwater made one final plea, and that was for her name.
 Eliza Simmons" was the straight forward reply, and this ended the in terview.
 Sweetwater went on up the hill. Toward the top he came upon livery stable. Stopping in his good humored way, he entered into talk with a man loitering inside the great door, Be fore he left him he had asked him these questions:
 Any gray horse in townw
 "Yes, one. It belongs to a respecta- ble family. There's a funeral there today
 "Not Miss Cumberland'sr exclaim. ed Sweetwater, all agog in moment.
 Yes, Miss Cumberla nds"
 The next turn Sweetwater took was toward the handsome residence dis rict crowning the hill.
 Fifteen minutes later he stood in finely wooded street before an open gateway guarded by policeman. Showing his badge, he passed in and entered a long and slightly curved driveway. As he did so he took O glance at the house. It was not as pre- tentious as he expected, but infinitely moro inviting

 'Not much if it was any cutter and any horse and at any hour. But if it was the horse and cutter which left the Whispering Pines at 10 or half past 10 that night then it may mean life or death to the man now in jail under the dreadful charge of murder
 Catching up her child, she slid into the kitchen and sat down with it in the first chair she came to. Sweetwa- ter, following her, took up his stand in the doorway, unobtrusive, but patient ly waiting for her to speak.
 "Who are you" she asked at length. "fYou have not told me your real busi ness"

The story .-- -v..vwed is too well known to us for repetition. Sweetwa- ter listened with snapping eyes to all that was said, and when he had been given the various clews indicating the presence of a third and as yet un- known party on the scene of crime he rose excitedly to his feet and, de claring that it was most promising case, begged permission to make his own Investigations at the Whispering Pines, after which he would be quite ready to begin his search for the man in the derby hat and high coat collar, whose love for wine was so great that he chose and carried off the two choicest bottles that the clubhouse contained.

Seeking Woman S Influence

HERE is an illustration OF the estimation in which
IL a woman's influence may be held by man in

She was a society woman, vcrsed in current events
and making her knowledge attractive by her ready wit
and sparkling comment Men were always entertained
when they could get within carsho OF her conversation
and hostescs counted themselves lucky when they could
have her at their dinner tables Her popularity among
diplomats and statesmen was proycrbial
The man was a Senator, grown gray in congressional
