THE FLATHEAD VALLEY.

The Flathead valley, ten years ago an
almost unknown region, the home OF The
savage and wild beast to-day is the
most productive section Of the north
west, yielding per acre double the out
put OF Kansas, Iowa or the Dakotas,
and is the only section west of the Miss.
issippi river which can rival the cele.
bra e / Red River Valley of the North in
the superior quality of it's cereals. 1t is
the only agricultural section in the state
OF Montana, where crops can be raised
without irrigation. Vegetables Of all
kinds are grown il abundance, while
apples, plums, peaches, cherries, pears,
and the small fruits such as strawber-
ries, blackberries, goosebe- rles, raspber-
ries are being raised successfully. With
ready market for all products Of the
soil in the rich mineral di tricts to the
east west and south, the farmers OF ths
Flathead valley will soon be classed
among The wealthiest and most inf1uen-
tail of this new country. Wheat averages
thirty five bushels per acre, oats sixty
bushels, barley forty bushels, rye thirty
bushels potatoes 400 bushels, cabbage
ten tons per acre, rutabagas thirty tons
per acre.
The Flathead river, with it's tribu-
taries-the North, South and Middle
forks-the Saltwater and Whitetish
rivers, with their numerous br anches,
making total of over 600 miles of log
ging streams, all of which converge at
kalispell, flow through vast forests OF
pine, tamarack, fir, larch and cedar.
Under the recent law enacted by con-
gress these boundless tracts of timber

KAL1sPELL.

Kalispell is a young and growing city
Of over 1000 inhabitants in which the
first building was erected in May, 1891.
IS the geographical center OF the Flat
bad valley, and divisional point on the
main line of the Pacific extension of the
Great Northern railroad. Several miles
of side track. a round hous Q, coal yards,
and freight depot have ar eady been
built, and handsome two story brick
and stone passenger depot, which when
completed, will be the finest on the line
of this road west of ST Paul, is now
under construction. Steamers plying
on the waters of Flathead lake and river
rea h the head of navigation at kalis-
leIl, thus affording transportation facil-
tiles to the Northern Pacific railroad.
The construction OF a new railroad has
been commenced from the mining CEN
ters Of the state to the immense coal
fields in the northern part OF the Flat
head valley, which passing through Kal-
ispsll, will give her che ap and direct
communication with Butte Helena and
all points south, and open ready mar
ket for products of the valley, all of
which, from her geograph ical location,
will necessarily center at Kalispell;
while the natural grades from the M nes
and coal fields of the surrounding coun-
try, the cheap and unlimited supply of
fuel, together with the great water
power at her very doors, will make Kal-
ispell the smelling center of this portion
Of the state. 1t is already the supply
point for the army Of miners and pros
pectors operating in the North and
South forks and the Kootenai min
ing regions, and with her three
strong national banks, she can have no
rival as the financial center Of the whole
Flathead region,
According TO published statistics, no
city OF her gize in the United States can
boast Of SO fine system OF wat works
and electric light. The ayatern com
prsts seven miles Of pipe, hydrants al
every street intersection, and pumps
with capacity equal to those of the
Butte system The total cost OF the
plant is upwards of s125,o60.
A brick brewery has just been com
pleted with capacity of 1900 barre
per month, having the latest improved
machinery. and operated by men Of Ion,
staudiug and successful experience i
thair line. Numerous substantial brcI
business blocks have been constructe

RUSSIAN ROADS.
One OF the Cxar's Agents In San Francisco
IN n TOur

One OF the Cxar's Agents In San Francisco
on n Tour.
s, Michin, superintendent OF the motive
power on the Russian government railways
of Polesie, registered from Wine, Russc
at the California yesterday. Says the San
Francisco Call.
Mr.. Michin arrived here after tour Of
two months through the principal states,
and his mission is to investigate the Amer
can system of railyoading, as far as motive
power and equipment are concerned.
He has spent considerable time In the
big railroad oenters in the east. and, a. he
said last night. he has learned TO admire
the modern American engines and cars
greatly.
.rhey are vastly superior to anything We
have i'll Russia" said he. .'althouNh our
equipment is far better than that of other
European countries.
Your engines make more miles than any
in uae by us aud your cars are more COM
Portable and better suited for long distance
travel than any ! have ever seen."
Mr. Michin will spend q few days here
and then he will return directly to ST.
Petersburg. where he will make an extens-
i've report of what he has learned on his
travels.
Speaking of the trans-Siberian ailroad.
he thinks il will be completed in eight
years. time.
The work i'd necessarily carried on slowly
because the severity OF the climate prohib-
its work nll tho year round.
The road as surveyed from Scheiabinsk.
the eastern terminus. to Vladivostock in
the west, is 0000 miles long, and so far
only 300 mlles have been completed. One
hundred miles from Vlsdivostook and 200
miles from the eastern end.
The great Baikal lakes. which lie about
midway between the two terminal points,
will be skirted, although it had LIST been
proposed to use ferry steamers similar TO
the one used by the Southern Pacific oom-
pany at Po Costa.
a According TO Mr.. Mchin some 5000 men,
mostly prisoners, are now at work on the
road, but in the sprinRtime that number
will be greatly multiplied.
This is the first time in the history Of the
Russian governments that convict labor has
been used in railroad building.

very much for farmers, and a commission
has been appointed to treat for it. num-
Der of young Arapahoes have been uneasy
for some time and we're disposed to make

them that the Sioux we're likely to break

wac satisfactory. There are 900 Arapahoes

Meeting of Property-Owners Who Are
Not In Favor OF IL.
A large and enthusia site meeting of prop
erty-Owners was held last Night at the cor
ner Of Bush and Dew sadero streets TO pro-
test against the granting Of the Leroy fran
chiSe for a cabe-road OIL DeYisadero and
Post streets.
The meeting was called to order by III.
w. Miller, whose suggestion 10 effect a per-
maDent organization was mmediately acted
upon with great enthusiasm, Mr.. Miller be-
ing elected permanent president and Byron
Diggins secretary. The organization will
hereafter be known az the Deyisadero-street
Property-owners' Club.
The president then explained the reason
for the call, which was that tho proposed
road would run along Devisadero street
only from Ridley to Post, and that the
pTOpeTty-owneTs on the remainder of the
street would receive no benefit from it, Its
purpose was merely TO shut off other appl-
cants for a franchise over DevisaderO street,
which Is particularly suited for direct
cross-town service, connecting the extreme
Mission districts with the Golden Gate
j. T.. Diggins made a new point by say
ing that as the street had just been paved
with bituminouS rock IL ought 10 be pre-
served as a driveway unless the franchise
Is ma0e to cover its entire length.
The following named were appointed as
a committee of five to walt upon the Street

Oakland yesterday. was surprised TO learn
how widespread Is the Indignation over the
acts of the Mayor and the City Council in
reference to the waterfront controversy.
"lf they could not be on the side of the
people," said a leading real estate man,
"they should at least have had deeency
enough not to have openly shown their
preference for the railroad side Of the fight"
There is one matter that has shown itself
In Oakland that the people cannot get over.
They have thought about it deeply.
They are talking about it everywhere. and
always earnestly.
The more they think about 1t the angrier
they become.
The more they talk about IL the harder
does public opinion become fixed.
That matter refers to Mayor Melvin Chap
man.
Just now the Mayor is frlghfully unpop-
uar.
He would take the second prize for IN
popularity, were there any offered.
1t is not hard To name the man who would
take the first rriZe.
He is now known in Oakland as Chaplain
Carpenter.
Now, the Mayor is not bad man, by any
means.
He has always meant well enough. but he
has had the misfortune to fall into bad COM
pany.
That will ruin any one In the course of
time.
1t has certainly ruined Chapman, at least
politically.
That the Mayor Of a city would appear In
court as The hired attorney of the opponents
of the clty's best interests is as strange
thing as that he should proclaim from the
steps of the CITY Hall that he was in favor
Of burning the town.
An eager desire to serve his railroad
friends has made the Mayor push himself
forward against the best citizenship of Oak
| land.
| But he Is well supported.
He has the railroad behind him. and those
things that they now cali In Oakland their
| little tin gods.
| Some of the members of the Council stood
NJ like men. and saw they will recognize
other rights besides those OF the railroad.
This is the kind of talk Oak land has been
waiting to hear
The men who talk that way are Pardee
| Nelson, johnson. Brosnaham and Hoffman.
But the majority oil the board say they

to go through the opening in the bridge, the
railroad people would have to remove it.
The Webster-street bridge, as it stands, is
disgrace to skland, anyway.
More than that, il is dangerous
James g. 4 ir said r year ago that new
bridge ought to be built there.
III IL is net done there will be an accident
there that will amount 10 a slaughter
But il would cost $3.50 900 to put In the
right sort OF bridge, and the Southern
Pacific Company, though il makes millions
from the ferry traffic, will not spend the
money for that purpose
One great advantage to the III arrisau-
