CHRISTMAS THINGS
co UP IN FLAMES

Whole companies of soldiers were
wiped out and countless animals,
wild and domestic, perished when
a mail car on the Great Northern
railroad took fire between Havre
and Great Falls last week. All the
casualties were due to the progress
siveness of Santa Claus in abandon
ing the old. reliable reindeer team
for the swifter lightnine exDreas.The
fact that the soldiers were OF tin
and the animals Of wood will soft
en- only partially the grief Of the
settlers children, to whom the
Christmas packages were mailed by
eastern friends.
The car was loaded with second
and fourth class matter. and car
ried no postal clerk. It's interior
was mass Of flame when the fire
first was discovered. The engi-
neer threw the throttle wide in a
race for the nearest water tank,
and at Big Sandy the burning car
was flooded.

BOY STABBED
SIX TIMES
MURDEROUS ASSAULT MADE ON
YOUNG ITALIAN SECTION
HAND AT WARLAND.

August Lavoratta, an Italian boy,
16 years of age, who is employed
on the section at Warland is lying
in the hospital with six knife
wounds in his breast inflicted by
his cousin Gene Plane, Is years of
age. The wounds are all close
around the heart, but he will re-
cover as the knife blade was not
long enough to penetrate the vital
organs.
The two boys got into a boyish
quarrel over some trivial matter
which aroused their tempers to a
high pitch and the oldest one drew
his pocket knife and stabbed his
cousin six times in the breast. No
arrests We're made in connection
with this murderous assault. They
will probably patch the matter up
between themselves.

DEATH CLAIMS
HERO ENGINEER

Engineer James Root, a hero OF
a Minnesota forest fire some years
ago. and well-known in railroad cir
cles. passed away last week in an
obscure rooming house in New
York City.
Root, as engineer Of a passenger
train on the old St. Paul & Duluth
Short Line, saved the lives Of more
than 800 persons when Hinckley and
other towns in northern Minnesota
were destroyed by fire. September
1, 1904.
With men, women and children
crowding his train and with the for
est around him all ablaze, Root
backed his train five and a half
miles to Skunk lake, where the peo-
pie plunged into the water and es-
capped the fire that passed over
them. The heat was so intense
that the windows Of his cab were
broken. Although badly burned.
Root stuck to his post and saved
his passengers.
Three years ago, at the age of
81, he retired from the railroad ser
vice on a pension.

MONTANA INVENTOR.

Montana is about to enter the
field with a new aeroplane which,
the inventor claims for it, will re-
duce the death rate among amateurs,
because 1t won't wobble when the
engine stops. but will glide to the
earth like a bird. and at any angle
the driver wishes. James Travis, a
ranchman living near Cascade, is
the man who conceived the idea .and
who has perfected the machinery Of
the new plane.

GOVERNORS
SPECIAL RE.
TURNS HOME
EAST AND WEST WILL BE MORE
CLOSELY RELATED IN
THE FUTURE.

After an absence of three weeks,
during (which it Travelled a distance
Of 3,40O miles and visited 20 cities,
with an aggregate population of
over 17,ooo.ooo people. the western
governors special train returned to
81. Paul Saturday morning-its start
ing point. Seven governors were on
the special, the additional executives
being Governor Odie of Nevada and
Governor Judson Harmon of Ohio
The governors, whose purpose it wa
to bring the east and west into clos
er social and business relationship
and exploit the resources of the va
rious states represented, are enthu-
siastic over the results of the trip.
The western governors special
tour has assumed larger proportions
than its most sanguine friends ever
hoped for.
The result of this tour will cause
the people of the east to turn their
faces toward the west; the different
sections of the country will become
more harmonious and will in the fu-
ture be one great unified nation.
It has taught the people of the
east that the great cooperative
feeling existing in the west is the
secret OF success and they have
learned that the secret is worth
emulating.
The exhibit cars were visited by
more than 10000 people who have
studied and been astonished at the
greatness of the west.
Governor Norris of Montana. who
suffered bruised arm and face in
q collisfen Of cars on tho motor
speedway at Indianapolis, and who
complained Of internal pains, is ap-
parently as well as ever.

today and ten more were seriously
injured when the second section of

which had been stopped on signal.
Railway officials attribute the acci-
dent to failure of the operator to set

F[ATHEAD FRUIT

MEN AGAINST DANGER
OF DISEASE.

At the horticultural school held in
Kalispell last week the live topic Of
discussion was how to keep blight
out of the Flathead orchards. as
this Is declared by local fruit grow
ers to be the most important thing
they have to consider in connection
with growing fruit at the present
time.
Blight Is by far the most serious
danger that threatens the fruit in
dustry. for unless it is controlled in
many cases it means the absolute
determination of the orchards con-
tanning the varieties susceptible to
It.
