KENNEY DECLARES
STORY is UNTRUE

ST. Paul. May 10.-tP-W. P. Ken
ney, president of the Great Northern
railway, declared there was nothing
to the story of a revival of the pro-
posal for consolidation Of the Great
Northern. Northern Pacific, Burling-
ton and the Spokane, Portland and
Seattle Railway systems as reported
in Spokane.
I'VE have never discussed such a
consolidation in our meetings as a
matter of business since two years
ago when the proposal was rejected
Kenney said.
Charles Donnelly. president of the
Northern Pacific railway, said he had
not heard of such a consolidation
again being proposed for the future.
Officials of the Great Northern de-
clared the Spokane story probably

Lions Listen To
Interesting Talks

Lions Club members were privileged
to listen to two interesting addresses
at their meeting Monday evening, al
the Turner Tavern DIR. M. D. Kelly
was a guest of the club and spoke il
most instructive and interesting man.
ner The other speaker was DIR A f.
Ostroot who also gave his hearers much
interesting information.
In his remarks DR. Kelly stated that
he once heard the statement made that
the latest development Is the highest
wisdom He then proceeded to take
issue with that statement arguing that
there are certain Fundamental truths
upon which all true character and
upon which proper civilization mus.
be built, and these by their very ma
ture, do not and cannot change He
thought the tendency had been. for the
past number Of years. to wander away
from these great fundamentals. HI
recalled the downfall Of the great
Roman empire and feared our own ma
ton might follow in the same path il
present tendencies are not corrected
However, he expressed himself as hav-
ing faith that America would correct
those faults and urged his hearers tc
give the best within them to the serv-
ice Of their country
Dr. Ostroot read a paper stressine
the great Importance Of correct vision
giving much interesting information in
that respect and reciting briefly some

Wrestling Bout

Libby wrestling fans saw a new
style of wrestling last night, the first
exhibition of its kind in this city, when
Bob Nelson of Portland defeated Billy
Root Of kalispel by winning falls in
the fourth and fifth rounds after Root
had taken the first fall in the second
round. The bout was won not by sci
entiiic wrestling but by the use Of nu-
merous rabbit punches, kicking ones
knees into the opponents groin, blows
to the stomach, jumping with both
feet onto one mans ribs when he was
on the mat, and other similar playful
little antics
Root started the rough stuff by
jumping onto Nelson with both feet
in the first round and later Nelson re
taliated with such full measure that
he had Root practically out in the last
round Both men were 205 Founders.
They wrestled 10 minute rounds. Thu
crowd booed Nelson considerably but
seemed to get big kick out Of the
performance.

Art Bitney (l45 lbs.) Of Kalispell was

wrestling. Myers won in the fourth
round, taking falls in the third and
fourth rounds. iBtney won a fall in the
second round.
The first bout was three round af-
fair between Harold Kent and Law

THE Thursday evening conferences at the
Phillips Memorial Gallery are proving very
popular, practically every available seat be-
ing taken. And, what is more, these audiences
are keenly eager to learn, and listen with
close attention to expositions Of the techni-
caiities of art, which bound to lead to
better understanding.
The first of the January series was given
by Harold Weston, u collection Of whose work
constitutes the special January exhibition at
the gallery. Mr.. weston's subject was an
nounced as Beyond the Known-the Artists
Abnormality of Vision" but he promptly ex-
planned that by the word "abnormality" he
meant something belonging peculiarly to the
individual and transcending the ordinary. And
Throughout his address he laid special en-
phasis on originality, the Importance of seeking
out new ways and of doing that which had
not been done before. In other words, ap-
parently it was Mr. Westons belief that every
artist should be an explorer, that he should
not be content to merely record or to repeat.
Mr.. Weston spoke merely from notes, and ex-
tremely we'll holding unbroken the attention
of his audience. opening for them new vistas,
and of necessity increasing, by his own earnest
ness and sincerity, his own belief in and rev.
erence for his art, understanding OF and re-
spect for the artists viewpoint.
