ASK TO SEE THEM TYPEWRITER SUPPLIES FOR SALE NEWS OP INTEREST * -s ■im Ï . S'*«. ml IN RAILROAD CIRCLES W. W. McFadzen has recently takbn his turn as conductor on the Kalispell branch, relieving Donald son. Charles Brawley is now back at his old job as engineer on the rotary snow plow, which will keep him busy for'a while. Fireman Bohm is hobbling around on a pair of crutches, hav ing a badly sprained ankle, received by falling on the sidewalk. Engineer Mayfield, who has had an operation performed on his foot, is up and around again, but still very weak from the effects of the operation. Conductor Owen Pencake had a very narrow escape at Stryker yes terday by falling off his car. He received a badly bruised arm as the result of it. The rotary snow plows as a gen eral rule do not have a great deal to do on this division except for about a month every year, but in that time they are kept on the go night a}id day. Fireman Litton, who has been in the hospital for the past two months with a broken arm, has gone to his home in Nashville, Tenn., wherq he will remain until he is strong enough to go to work again. Superintendent W. R. Smith and Assistant Superintendent Carswell have put in one of the most strenu ous weeks they have seen for many a day. They have both been out, personally superintending the work of clearing the snow slides, which has kept them busy night and day. Train Nc. 2 which came in here Sunday night was held here until Monday afternoon in hopes that the slide might be cleared up by that time, but when it was found that it would be at least 24 hours more before they could get thru they were turned around and run back to Sand Point and over the Northern Pacific to Helena and then up to Havre. II. T. Scott, employed in the roundhouse as helper, was taken suddenly ill with acute gastritis Saturday while working in one of the pits. Fie had such terrible pains that he was rendered un concious for a while and it was feared he would die. Dr. Lees was called, who rendered medical assist ance which gave him relief and he was then removed to his home where he is reported to be recover ing nicely. The irregularity of the trains during the past week has caused a great deal of worry to all the officials connected with the dis patching of trains, to keep things from getting into one general hoax. There has been great confusion especially among the train men and express messengers, who at the time of a tie up would get over on one end of the line and it has kept Agent Hills scratching his head to get men to go out on the runs. Claim Agent J. E. Coffey came in from Havre Sunday to look after a little business. He reports that everything is coming along nicely in his new position and feels very much pleased with it, only it is quite a ways from Whitefish, but he is fortunate to have an annual pass so he can come over any time that he isn't busy. He returned yesterday, after being delayed three days on account of the snow slides. The G. N. is gradually increasing its roundhouse force at Cut Bank. Two day machinists, Messrs. Ons dahl and Keppel, have been recent ly added and Austin J. Miller has been put on as box packer. C. N. Thomas has been promoted to the position of foreman's clerk.—Cut Bank Press. Brakeman J. L. Meneley has taken a 30 day leave of absence and will go to Chicago on a visit. In effect January 18, R. O. Mc Millan was put in charge of the de pot at Cut Bank, vice C. E. Miely, who has resigned. Eugene Desarmo, has returned to his duties railroading again. He will brake on passenger for a while until his foot is entirely well and then go back on freight. Conductor J. W. Donaldson, who has been on the Kalispell pas senger during the past few months, has moved hack to Whitefish and taken the run on No. 3 and 4 be tween here and Havre. On account of there being no conductor here whose rest was up, Conductor Hartley hud to take No.4 as far as Troy last Sunday after coming in from Havre. He was re lieved there by Conductor Mc Cannon. It lias been announced by his friends that Maurice S. Hurley, the popular and well known conductor who is ruifning in here on No. { and 4 from Spokane and who spend a great deal ot his time here, is to be married some time the first of next month, to one of Spokane's most charming school teachers. All his friends and associates here ex tend their heartiest congratulations. J. E. Martin, who is one of the machinists at the roundhouse, has been laying off for the past few days and went to Kalispell yesterday. He is expecting someone from Port land and from the happy expression on his face and the antics he lias been going thru the only logical conclusion we can come to is that it is the lady of his heart and that there will be wedding bells ringing in a short time, but no particulars will he give out. He is as mum as an oyster, hut these things are sure to leak out some way: IN HONOR OF FOURTH BIRTHDAY Mrs H. B. Sharar entertained a number of her son Clark's little friends Tuesday afternoon in horjor of his fourth birthday. A peanut hunt formed the main amusement which was greatly en joyed by all the little folks.
