CHURCH PACKED To
HEAR LYRE QUARTET

The Presbyterian church was
packed last Sunday night and some
were turned away for lack of room.
The occasion for this was the pres
ence of the Lyre quartet of Kalis-
pell. composed of Messrs. Daymude,
Dunsire, Cooley and Rydlander.
These gentlemen, besides gracious
ly donating their services, placed
the entire congregation under very
deep obligation to them. They
sang in a most pleasing and beauti-
ful manner number of sacred
hymns. Their success as concert
singers is also well known. It is
hoped they they will return some
time in the near future, and they
can feel assured that they will re-
ceive a hearty welcome.

ALL c. \. ENGINES
TO BURN OIL
HILL LINES MAKE IMPORTANT
INNOVATION THROUGHOUT
THEIR TERRITORY IN
WESTERN STATES.

Every engine on the western d.
vision of the Great Northern rail-
road will burn oil, and the equip
ment for using this fuel is being
prepared in all the car shops of
the company in the west. 1t is ex-
pected that before the middle of the
summer the necessary changes will
have been made.
For some time officials of the
Great Northern have realized the
danger occasioned by engines burn
ing coal, for the cinders start many
forest fires. which not only cause
a great loss of property, but a large
expense in fighting them.
During the summer months. or
dry season, large forces of men
have to be kept ready for call to
fight fires along the lines of the
Great Northern.
To inaugurate the oil burning the
railroad will be put 70 a big ex-
pense. Besides equipping the en-
gines large supply tanks will have
to be put along the different d.
visions.
The oil burning was inaugurated
On the Cascade division several
months ago, and large tanks have
been built at Everett.
1t is the plan to have Everett the
central supplying point for the oil,
1t being brought from California by
boat, and then oilcars will convey it
to the divisions in Washington and
Montana.
The decision to burn oil on all the
western divisions has been brought
about after a number of conferences
Of high officials Of the road.

WILL INTEREST
EASTERN CAPITAL
IN STUMP LAND
AN ATTEMPT WILL BE MADE TO
GET IOWA PEOPLE no COME
HERE.

H. d. Shepard, president of the
Travelling Mems Investment company
and w. 8. Thyng, the secretary and
treasurer. came over from Spokane
Friday and met a number Of the
representative business men at the
club rooms that evening with a
view to interesting them in his
proposition of a cooperative real
estate company, which would have
for its purpose buying large tracts
Of stump lands in this vicinity, i'm
proving them and cutting them up
into acreage tracts and putting them
on the eastern markets.
Mr.. Shepard explained that his
company had negotiated with the
Baker Bros. for a quarter section of
their best land lying along the lake
shore, and had options on several
other choice pieces. His proposition
to the business men here was for
them to buy $3.50 worth of stock in
his company, the company would
put in like amount, making a total
OF $4,000. which would be expend-
ed on improving the land. The
first thing he intended to do was
to buy donkey engine and go in
Tor clearing the land on large
scale.
AS only about half of the stock
could be subscribed there was not
enough available cash to start the
work off as was figured, and the
proposition was dropped for the pres.
ent.
Mr.. Shepard also had with him l..
II. Lyford, a young man of consider
able means from Manley, Ia, who
vas looking over the west for in
vestments. He became very favor
ably impressed with the idea. and
took out a large block OF stock.

l.yford's home in Iowa, where they
will attempt to interest a number
Of MIR. Lyford's friends in Whitefish
stump lands, and they expect to
return in a couple of weeks If they
are Successful in carrying out their
plans, and will start in Immediately
to improve the land already pur-
chased.
They say when they return that
they will open up a real estate Of
flee here and begin an advertising
campaign in the east, and will make
inducements to the many settlers
now passing thru on the trains to
stop over here and look over the op-
offer.

SNATCHES WAL
LET FROM SLEEP
ING PASSENGER
THIEF THEN JUMPS FROM NOV
ING TRAIN AND GETS AWAY
IN THE DARKNESS

A man. who according to the po-
lice is know to them and has been
resident Of Whitefish and vicinity
for some time, but whose name they
do not care to have made public at
the present, snatched wallet from
the pocket of Jacob Pykles, a sleep
ing passenger en- train No. /, last
Friday night, just as it was pulling
out of Columbia Falls. The wallet
contained 1000 shares of negotiable
mining certificates valued at sever
al thousand dollars, and railroad
ticket good to Seattle. The thief
was a passenger from Kalispell and
had ticket through to Whitefish.
He came to Columbia Falls ON the
"Dinky" and boarded No. 1. Pykles
was reclining asleep in one of the
seats and the wallet was probably
exposed to view. There being but
few in the car and no one notice.
ing, the man snatched it and made
a dash for the car door just as the
train was pulling out. In SO doing
he knocked over the brakeman.
Pykles woke up when the wallet
was extracted, and caught sight of
him as he was fleeing down the isle
of the car. The train was stopped
and the trainmen and others gave
chase to the thief, but he got away
In the darkness.
A telegram was sent to Sheriff
Ingraham at Kalispell, who came up
on No. 43, and wove his net to
block all avenues of escape.
However, the thief was very elusive
and managed to get out Of the val-
ley. Saturday evening Chief OF Pc-'
lice Ben Hotter received a tele-
gram from the police at Eureka
stating that the man had been cap
tured and was being held. At
1880 telegram was received here
stating that the man had broken
Jail, and he is still at large.
Pykles is an Alaska mining man,
and was travelling from St. Paul to
Seattle. His ticket being stolen he
was compelled to stop over here
for a few days while he
took the matter up with
Superintendent w. r. Smith, who
wired to the St. Paul office and Sc
cured another ticket. In the mean
time the train crew that took the
train out Of here that night, in
looking around found the mining
stock hidden away under one of the
seats, and sent it back here, where
it was returned to Mr.. Pykles, who
was overjoyed, as he never ex-
pected to see it again. 1t seems
that the thief had partner, and
that when he snatched the wallet
he handed it to the partner and
then made his getaway in order to
throw those in the car off the track.
His partner rode unmolested to
Whitefish, and when the case was
related to Officer Green, who was
at the depot, he arrested the man
and searched him, but could find
no trace of the missing property. He
was held in Jail until Sheriff Ing
raham arrived, who ordered him
to be turned loose, because there
was not sufficient evidence then to
hold him.

nothing for the clerk to do@and the
intruders quickly scooped out $3.50
in bills. Then the men filed out, the
last one covering the clerk with his
revolver until all were outside.
AS soon as he was free the clef..
