MAY EXTEND TELEPHONE SERVICE
Montana and Idaho Telephone Com.
paniss Plan to Connect Lines Soon

According to reports which have
reached this city the Pacific Tele-
phone and Telegraph company is
contemplating the extending of its
lines from Boomers Ferry to the
Idaho Montana state line and
there connecting with a line of the
Mountain States Telephone and
Telegraph company which con-
meets Troy, Libby, Kalispell and
other Montana towns. 1t is
claimed that prominent officials of
both companies have gone over the
proposition together and have re-
ported favorably of it and that
construction work will begin
shortly,
Should such an extension of the
telephone service of the Pacific
States Telephone and Telegraph
company be carried out the resi-
dents of the northern towns of
both Idaho and Montana will be
benefited on account of the closer
affiliations which such line would
inevitably bring about.

PREVENTED A PROBABLE WRECK
Mrs. Viola jacobson Wins Recognition
From 5. |. Ry. Fer Brave Action

Mrs. Viola Jacobson, who resides
on her homestead near Snyder and
who on June IS, during the time
of the severe windstorm which
visited this district, risked her life
to warn the trainmen of the 500
passenger train of the distractions
on the railroad track which would
have probably resulted in disas-
trous wreck and loss of life, was
substantially rewarded, recently,
by the head officials of the Spokane
International Railway company.
The terrific windstorn of June
rs blew a number of trees across
the tracks of the S. /. railway and
these Instructions were noticed by
Mrs. Jacobson who posted herself
at point on the railway company 5
right ofway from which she could
signal the approaching train and
warn its crew of the danger
About the time the train was due
to arrive several large trees were
blown across the tracks near a curve
between her point of observation
and the passenger train. Mrs.
Jacobson rushed down the hill over
rocks, brush and fallen trees, cult
ing and bruising herself in the
wild scramble, and arrived at the
curve just in time to prevent an
inevitable wreck which would un-
doubtedly have caused the train to
have been hurled into the Moyie
river which washes the track en-
bankment at that point.
Mrs. jacobson has been person
ally thanked for her service by
President Corbin and Supt. +. ].
Roberts and her ranch has been
designated as a flag station
