The Great Northern has started
a cleanup campaign. They have a
large force of men at work cleaning
the yard of it's winters accumu-
lation OF cinders and rubbish, and at
kalispell they are polishing up the
walls of the brick depot, erasing the
various and many contributions to
the worlds literature that have been
left there from time to time.

great deal of mystery is connected
with this road. Everything is said
to be a secret, and no one is sup
posed to give out anything definite
consequently it is hard matter to
get a verified statement of any of
the details. Those who say they
know state that it is coming up on
the east side of the river, and will
cross near the Landenberg place and
pass through the Kennedy addition
and connect at the wye of the Great
Northern.

While burning rubbish on the
Great Northern right-oe-way Satur-
day evening the fire got into the
company wood pile and developed
into fierce blaze that threatened
to consume the thousand cords of
wood stored there. Several lines of
hose were strung out from the hy-
drants at the roundhouse, and after
a half hours hard work by the en-
ployes the flames were subdued.

a! lines along the Great Northern s

PASSES ARE GOOD
IN MONTANA STATE

Passes are all good throughout the
state of Montana again. BY a ruling
CT the supreme court some months
ago passes of every description were
abolished, and even the families OF
employees were not allowed to use
passes locally to Montana points.
This was overuled by an act of tn
Twelfth legislature, and now en-
ployes and their families are
granted the same privileges as be-
fore. The following bulletin has been
issued by the Montana railroads as
a result:
I'm accordance with the statutes
of the state Of Montana, annual
passes issued by this company to
the employees of other railroad COM
panies and members of their fami-
lies, were stamped Not good local
ly between stations in Montana I'm
der law passed by the last legisla-
ture. approved by the governor on
March 10, 1911, the usual form of
exchange transportation with other
railway companies is permitted. and
the conductors of this company will
accept for transportation between
stations in Montana annual passes
of the current year regardless of
the notice thereupon."

If the railroad men only knew it
they could make good use of their
tire and have a little sport at the
same time when they are side-track-
ed for meet at Volcour. The Lib
ny News reports that the water
tank there is full of trout and that
they could easily be caught with a
fly hook ii the fisherman will climb
to the top of the tank and cast in
mis- line. The water for the tank
comes from mountain stream near
by and is run in by gravity and in
this way the fish get into the tank
through the feed pipe. Once in the
tank there is no escape, as a screen
prevents them from getting out
when the engines stop to take water
The tank is said to be fairly swarm
ing with the fish.

Even so an insignificant a person
as as a few machinist helpers can
cause a great corporation like the
Great Northern great deal of
worry and inconvenience. Last week
all the machinist helpers at Hilyard
walked out on account of some
grievance they had, and an effort
was made to procure enough out
side help from the employment
agencies from Spokane, but the help
ers picketed themselves OH the
outside and managed to influence al
who intend to go to work not to
do so in their cause. When they
could not obtain help that way the
railroad officials brought in a car
load of Italians and bunked them
in a car outside of the shop, but the
machinists then. refused to work
with them, and they threaten to lay
down their tools if the company trie
to force any but white men" to be
helpers.
