AND TROY
WILL Be ABANDONED

Kalispell, April 7.-0 Especially
Whitefish and Troy, on the Kalispell
division of the Great Northern. will be
abandoned as traffic division terminals
in the near future, according to the
admission Of J. NJ, Gruber, general
manager of the Great Northern, to a
committee Of Whitefish citizens who
waited upo him there. The change
was said to be necessitated because Of
the inability of the railroad to comply
with the 16-hour law in the mountain
Gus sections, owing to the extreme
length of existing divisions, and new
division points will be established at
more frequent intervals. Among the
points mentioned as probable division
terminals are Cutbank, Nyack or Ess-
sex, Rexford, Bonner's Ferry. Con-
sternation was caused among business
men of Whitefish, who were planning
extensions.
