 Theo's Jap servant brought us cool ing drinks.
 Then the camera was put at such an angle that in the picture 1t would look as though the yacht were tip plng dangerously. I could appreciate how exciting 1t would look in a film. some shots were taken of Theo hasti ly leaving the deck and returning with the news that the sailors had left the ship taking the only small boat and abandoning us to our fate.
 Maud Samson was supposed to col lapse with fear and fling herself on Theo's neck. Theo looked at me and said; think I could reach the beach with one of you"
 This, of course, forced Theo to choose which of us he would save. Maud clung closer to his neck and lmpiored him not to leave her behind.
 Theo put her away from him de- cidedly and walked over to me. He told me the there might be time be- lore the yacht broge up for him to come back, but "The one who stays behind must take ,he chance"
 T shall try, my dear, to come. You may be sure of that"
 Maud again begged him not to leave her alone and declared that she would throw herself into the sea and follow us if he chose to take mo.

 In just little while we were all eating a picnic supper" as Aunt Virginia called the omnipresent box lunch with its two-day old sandwich, its oiled paper envelope of stale and greasy potato chips, soggy piece of apple pie with the inevitable tin spoon. Fortunately we did have good coffee. They made it on the boat.

l confess I was little nervous day. When I found that they did not intend taking the water scene felt relieved.
 Aunt Virginia, Eddie and Mrs Chester came down to the dock with me and the director took a few shots of Mrs. Chester bidding me good by,
 To Aunt Virginias surprise and de- light the director impressed her and Eddie into the good-by scene.
 Does that mean, Virginia. that will be seen in your picture?"
 of course you will"
 What would your grandfather think of it?"
 He has probably turned over in his grave before this, whispered Ed die with grin.
 At last we boarded the boat and started away. Maud Samson. Theo and I went through a number of scenes on the deck with Mrs. Chester Aunt Virginia and Eddie behind the camera looking on.
 It was perfectly gorgeous day and I was very happy even with the prospect of having to jump into the sea in the near future.
 Theo made himself very agreeable to Aunt Virginia and she confided to me that she thought I was very lucky to have been asked to play with such fine gentleman.
 Virginia, he makes me think of your father"
 "Oh, hope not" I said before I thought.
 Why not?" was her surprised query.
 "Oh,'' I eyaded. T do not want any man to be like my father"
 The day was taken up with shots of deck scenes. There were a num- Der of scenes between Maud Samson and Theo where he was supposed to have told her that he loved mo and he thought 1t better for them to break their engagement then to marry her under the circumstances. There was also scene or two where the two men and the boy who were supposed to help Theo run the boat were

SMITH RIVER ROAD DEPENDS
ON RESULT OF MERGER PLAN
Northern Pacific Contemplates Branch From
Wilsall to Great Falls; N. P. and G. n.
Consolidation Would Bar Project.

Construction of a branch of the
Northern Pacific railroad through the
Smith River valley to Great Falls. a
project internationally proposed for
nearly 30 years, now is dependent upon
a decision to be reached by the gov
eminent relative to the suggested
merging of the Northern Pacific, Great
Northern and Burlington lines. accord
ing to a special dispatch to The Trib-
,une from the st. Paul Dispatch. If
the Burlington were consolidated with
the Northern Pacific the chances all
would be in favor of the branch being
built, while merging of these lines and
the Great Northern would so eliminate
competition that the extension would
be unnecessary, the dispatch states.
The recently published report from
Livingston that the Northern Pacific
had decided to build the branch is
correct only in hat the matter is be-
fore the board Of directors and is being
held in allegiance pending the govern
ment's decision on the matter of merg-
ing the three Hill lines. The st. Paul
dispatch says that the branch would
be logical if the Burlington and North
ern Pacific were consolidated. but that
1t would be a wholly competitive line
and unnecessary IL the Great Northern
were combined with the other two
roads.

tors tends to confirm apparently
authentic reports that surveying crews
were at work in the Rock creek coun-
try last fall. Farmers living there
brought the report to Great halis seF
eral weeks ago, and quoted the crew
as saying that they were running 4 line
for a contemplated branch Of the
Northern Pacific.
A proposal that n railroad be built
south from Great Falls through the
Smith river valley first was made
about 30 years ago by L. i. Collins.
then president Of the First National
bank of Great Falls, who had ex-
tensive mining interest in the Relt
mountains near Neihart. He went so
far with the plan that a corporation
was formed to build the Montana,
Midland" road. but it did not proceed
much farther. The route proposed was
impossible from an engineering stand
point, as the matter now is remem-
bered in Great Falls.
Another suggestion that a road be
built through the valley was made in
ing it's transcontinental line through
Montana. Milwaukee officials made
some investigation into the feasibility
Of tieing into the main line at some
point west of Harlowton and running
a branch north to Great Falls, as a
OF shortening the haul of ore
from Butte. The project was abandoned
without having proceeded beyond the
speculative stage.
But from the presence of the survey
ing crew in the field and the st. Paul
statement that the Northern Pacific
considers the branch logical If the
Great Northern is omitted from the
proposed merger, the belief is prevalent
that the Northern Pacific is seriously
considering the n~roject.
Line Between Parks
Several reasons are advanced in sup
port Of the roads contemplated action.
One is the field Of coal and iron ore
it would make accessible, another is
the considerable area of agricultural
land that would come under develop
ment, but the most important is the
Glacier park tourist trade. Such a
branch, extended from Great Falls,
would be virtually @ bee line between
Glacier and Yellowstone and would
give the Northern Pacific a portion of
the traffic to that playground.
Wilsall is at the end of a Northern
Pacific branch that runs north 20 miles
out of Mission. a short distance east
Of Livingston. From there a new road
bed would be necessary to Ringing,
another stretch of 20 miles, If the
White Sulphur Springs road, owned by
the Ringing interests, were followed
to White Sulphur Springs, that point
would be reached from the main line
with but 20 miles of new construction.
From White Sulphur Springs to Great
Falls the distance is 103 miles over the
route proposed.
