Kalispell.-David r. McGinnis. who
has undertaken to carry out the pro.
ject Of the interurban electric railway
from this city to other centers of the
county, has announced that a vigorous
campaign will be begun to enlist the
financial cooperation of all local in

prise will be established. The White.
fish-Polson electric railway syndicate
has already assigned its franchises
and rights of way to the Flathead
interurban, the McGinnis organization.
and will assist in every way. II is pro.
posed TO construct lines from the city
to Somers. Bigfork and Whitefish. as
well as to other important points in
the valley.
The fact that the banks and local
investors have on hand all the city
warrants they care to negotiate. thus
compelling contractors to allow liberal
discounts upon their warrants to Sc.
cure purchasers, has given rise to op.
position in the council toward any
further extension of public work this
winter. The contractors are preparing
their bids with view to the discounts
demanded, which results in excessive
bids. There is estimated to be more
than enough contracts outstanding,
however, to occupy the contractors I'M

Berlin.-"Noiseless Germany" has
made a favorable impression on Mrs.

OF the Society for the Suppression Of

other things that the idea that whis-
ties are a necessary evil on railroads
has been destroyed by the German
method.
couple Of years ago. In conse-
quence OF the kaiser's habit Of travel.
Ing by night and his dislike OF being
disturbed. orders were issuei that Ger

Accidents on German railroads are
rare. while In Belgium. where whis-
ties are screeching continually. they
are frequent The same IL the case In
France.
In Germany ten minutes before the
train starts the officials tell the pas
sengers to take their seats. There In
no crush. and when II Ia time. a whis.
tie like a boatswain's Is sounded and
the train starts. Mrs. Rice would like
to see the same system, introduced in
to the United States.
Mrs Rice has been devoting special
attention to automobile horns. They
are as great a nuisance abroad. she
