{ KANSAS UNDER POPuLISTS.



rcx@ Gov. Osborn Does Not Take q Gloomy
View Of tho Outlook.
WASHINGTON, Dec. %. .--Ex-Gov. Osborn.
OF Kansas. who is in Washington this
week. does not take as gloomy view OF mo
outlook in his state ss some other republi-
cans do. He points to tho faos thar she
chief cities Of Kansas are constantly I'M
proving and thinks there 10 sufficient con-
eervatism among the people to ptevent any
lownright damage 10 the STATE throuGh ING
Successes of the populists.
He inclines to the opinion that the rspub-
lieans will OF ganiZe the house OF represent
atiyes next month, but docs NOS tnlnK II az
oil likely that republican Will be chosen
to succeed Senator Perkins. From adVicea
he has lately received from home, he says
he would not be surprised to see some dem
oorat who has been identified with tne
populiBt movement, carry on sne nonoT.
Judge Martin. Of Topeka, and George W:
Click, Of Atchison. democrats VINO neaoea
shs fusion movement last fall, are each
striving for the position. There mas been
mention in Kansas OF Clicks name IN
connection with the Office of secretary OF
agriculture, but those closest to him know
that he would prefer to be unlted states
senator. MIR. Click is a successful farmer,
and would do better as "Uncls Jerry's'
successor than as Plumb's.
The possibility of the election OF Bailey
p. WAggoner, of Atchison, to the senate has
lately been discussed some people being OF
opinion that the populists and democrats
snight bs willing to unite on him. Mr.
Osborn does not think such combination
ia probable. WaRConer is railroad AT
torney and the populists are not supposed
TO be partial to railroad mon. Undoubtedly
Mr.. WaRgoner would make as good soma
tor az any man in Kansas. He il good
lawyer and an able speaker, and oombina-
sion in his favor would please many Kansas
republican, who dread the thought OF an
cut-and. out populst sitting in the body
which Plumb and Ingalls have honored.
Ms. Osborn does not expect to see any
very radical legislation enacted In Kansas
this winter. There will probably DO an at
tempt TO put through maximum rate bill,
which the railroads dread. and bill 10
talked of giving persons whose property Is
foreclossd on mortgage opportunity to re-
deem il by paying the full indebtednsss.
Laws of this character are in operation in
several states, and MIR. Osborn does not see
why Kansas should suffer more from its
enactment than other states.
One thing which the disintegration OF
the republican party in Kansas will result
in, he thinks. will be new republican Or
ganization, with leaders broad enough to
keep it on higher plane than those who
have manipulated the old republican ma
chine have done. Mr.. Osborne did not
say this, but il ia fact that shere are
many Kansas republicans who rejoice that
the Estate house ring," which has con-
trolled the republican party in the state
for years. has been absolutely wiped out of
existence by the combination between tho
democrats and populists.

kalispell is 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 9, coal yards,
and freight depot have air eady been
built, and handsome two story brick

The construction of q new railroad has
been commenced from the mining GEN.

fields in the northern part of the Flat
head valley, which passing through Kal-
ispell, 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 geographical location,
will necessarily center at Kalispell;
while the natural grades from the mines
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
pf 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 size in the United States can
boast Of so fine system Of wat works
and electric light. The system com
