Coast Train Leaves Track.

Aberdeen, S. D., Dec. 1.-THE Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railway
overland limited train, the Olympian,
was derailed at Java Junction, west of
her. The locomotive and every car
left the track in a deep cut just out
side the town, the three rear sleepers
turning over. John Foster, the con-

a solid steel train prevented loss of
life.

asked for their release from the
league, but this was refused and thus

Independent Seems to
Have a Clear Field Now

Bright and early Monday morn
ing last there appeared on the
streets and alleys of Roman teams
with telephone poles which were
unloaded at stated intervals
apart. Inquiry developed the
fact that the Northern Idaho &
Montana Power Co. had taken
advantage Of the short haul from
Poison and had appropriated the
local field and intended to build
a telephone line and supply the
town.
Tuesday V. H. Calhoun and A.
H. Stephens of the Flathead In
dependent Telephone Co. made
their appearance and the air was
full of rumors of war and two
telephone and possibly three ex-
changes in Roman. That was
getting our goat, one being all
we had ever asked for. Wednes-
day brought reports of an ar1nis-
tice and rumors to the effect that
a satisfactory arrangement had
been consumated between the
companies by which only one
would occupy the Roman field. 1t
is said that the Northern Mon
tana has decided to withdraw and
leave the Independent people a
clear field. Should this be the
case it will be good news to Ro-
nan people, as one telephone
system is about all the town needs
at this time.
From every indication at this
writing, the Independent COM
pany will have men at work
within the next ten days setting
poles and stringing wire from
Ravalli to Roman. Power for
lighting purposes will be the next
move.

Buying Wheat at Ravalli

Stanley Scarce has engaged
the services of VIM. ]. Bibb, an
expert wheat grader from Spok-

toned at Ravalli to sample and
grade all the wheat Mr.. Scearce
may purchase and ship from that
station. Mr.. Scarce announces
that he is now ready to buy any
and all varieties Of wheat or
grain and will pay the highest
market price for same. This
wheat is shipped to the Minnea-
polls market and the farmers are
receiving just AZ cents more per
bushel for their wheat than they
would have received, besides get
ting their sacks back, owing to
Mr.. Scarce having secured a re-
duction in the freight rate to
Minneapolis of just that much.
Ravalli is now a competitive
point with Somers on the Great
Northern and the rate is the same
from both stations. The farmer
will receive cash for his grain no
matter what amount he may have
to sell. The Beckwith Mercan-
tile Co. of St. Ignatius, are also
buying and shipping from Raval-
Ii, making competition at that
point, which is always a good
thing for all concerned.
