RUM0RS AT RAILROAD
Divisional Point May Be Brought
Here

Persistent rumors have teen cur.

Maries will be a divisional point on
the main line of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul railroad. These
rnmors have become so general that
the Record has devoted considerable
time during the past couple of days
IN an effort to trace them up with the
result that while there Is absolutely
nothing definite known by the local
officials. they likewise are expressing
strong belief that when the new
branch line to Spokane opens up this
city will be the divisional point In
place of Maiden.
IL is not alone among the business
men of the city that the rumors of q
change has been heard, but likewise
by higher railroad employees, in fact
by men who will be directly affected
by a change. Agent e. 4. Smith, of
this city, WAS interviewed by a repre-
sentative of this paper yesterday,
but as far as giving actual facts IN
regard to the matter he is no better
position than anyone else. He stated
that on all sides among the railroad
men the rumor was current, and that
be had gone rs far as to ask SupeTin
tendent Sawyer. who WAS IN the city
last week regarding the matter. The
superintendent is credited with say
ing that there was something In the

kind of a. scnauqe will be made as soon
