Flathead county is rich in the best of
timber land and in its broad valleys. The
farmer is rewarded for his toll by rich
harvests of grain that cannot be excelled
in the world. There has been compara-
lively little done toward developing this
section, but it's vast stores of timber alone
insure its future greatness. The penetra-
ton of railroads will make this supply of
timber available and will advance the
prosperity of this young county. In this
county. too, are found some of the finest
grazing lands that exist in the whole
West, and here roam vast herds of cattle
which fatten upon the nutritious grasses
of bench land and valley and contribute
TO the prosperity of the county. Flathead
county is destined to become one of the
richest and most influential sections of
the state of Montana. She has the nat
ural resources and her citizens are active
and progressive.

braces the central valley of the three
great western basins. II is the oldest in
point of general settlement and cultiva-
ton of any agricultural district of Mon
tana. Splendidly situated, well watcred,
shielded from winds and surrounded by
vast ranges of timbered mountains. il is a
section that can be made richer and more
prosperous than il now is and can be
made an important contributing factor
10 the prosperity OF the state. 1T is varied
in its resources. Its products are of rec
ognized merit in all the state markets,
and its inhabitants are enthusiastic and
loyal in their support of this beautiful
valley. Grain. fruit, hay, vegetables and
lumber-all these are shipped from Mis-
soula county to the mining centers of the
state and the returns have been ample, as
is evidenced by the comfortable homes
and prosperous communities that have
grown up within its boundaries.

an empire of natural wealth that for
richness and diversity of resources cannot
be matched.
Long before geographers were familiar
with the Transmississippi country; long
before the tide of emigration turned in
this direction, the possibilities of this
region we're recognized by the few hardy
pioneers who penetrated the wilderness
and crossed the great divide. These men
Catholic missionaries and trappers-
soon realized the unlimited richness of
(, what is now Western Montana and here
was made the first white settlement in
~ the great Northwest. At Stevensville. in
the Bitter Root valley, Father De Smet
and his little band of followers raised the
cross of the Christian church that marked
the advent of civilization in the unclaimed
wilderness. Lewis and Clarke testified in
their report of their explorations, TO the
vast resources of this section and, super
fetal as their examination of the country
necessarily was, they we're able to predict
for these valleys the greatness which they
are but just beginning to attain. Later.
when Granville Stuart in 1866 wrote his
description of Montana, the possibilities
of Western Montana were more fully ap-
preciated, but even then, the full great.
ness of this mountain locked empire was
not fully recognized and the glowing pre-
dictions of Mr.. Stuart have already been
fully realized and the development OF
Western Montana has only just begun.
As in Western Montana the Christians
izing and educating of the Indians was
first inaugurated in the Northwest. SO in
Western Montana was found the first
placer gold, the precious deposits that
made Montana famous. Greater and
richer bars were afterward found, but tho
first discovery, the find that led to the
other and greater ones, was made in this
region. The placer mines of Cedar creel
made thousands rich and the sands o
that gulch still yield their golden treasure
TO the seeker. The silver mines of Gran
ite county are famous the world over
They have yielded millions and theil
wealth is yet far from exhausted. In the
mountains above the placer fields golc
quartz is found in paying quantities
Mills are pounding out the precious dus
in all parts of this region and experts
state that the development of these mines
will prove this region richer than has eve
been thought.

Republican Caucus.

The republican caucus last Saturday
was one of the largest and most enthu-
sisastic caucuses ever held in the town
ship, l53 votes being cast on one ballot.
They plainly demonstrated their views
on the silver question by adopting the
following resolution presented by Il. A.
Ely:
WHEREAS, Believing that the white
metal, or silver, should be restored TO
its former use as basis money, and that
past experience teaches that all political
reform must come from the republican
party; therefore, be it
ReSolued, BY the republicans of Ar
cade township, in caucus assembled
that we favor the free and unlimited
coinage of silver and gold, at ratio of
sixteen TO one; and that we will work
for the nomination and election of men
IN our party in the future who will labor
to bring about this result.
No strife was observed until the vote
for treasurer, which brought out ten
good candidates, and it took five votes
to agree upon the man. The follow
ing are the nominees:
Supervisor. ID. l.. Sharrar.

REPUBLICAN VOTERS WILL MOI

DEMOCRACY HAS SET.
Only Hope for Good Legislation on Sill

The Democratic campaign managers
in Michigan have shown their band.
DeSpairing of success upon principles,
they are now striving to deceive voters
into support of the Democratic ticket,
and are flooding the state with litera.
ture of the catch-penny order, certify
ing TO the excellence of everything
Democratic, and especially on the
question of silver, attempting to hood
wink the people into the belief that he
who is the friend of silver can express
his friendship at the polls only by a
Democratic ballot. We want to en-
phasize this warning to Republicans:
The men who are conducting this al
legged non-partisan campaign osteE-
sibly in behalf of silver, are men
whose every move is made to advance
the interests of the Democratic party.
They would as soon advocate views
directly opposed to those expressed in
their campaign posters this spring if
they thought that thereby they could
cajole Republicans into voting for
Democratic candidates. In the face of
the very recent action of the Demo
cratic majority in Congress against
the free coinage of silver. and the
well-known attitude of the Democratic
President on this question, it takes
nerve TO attempt 10 work such a bare
faced confidence game in Michigan.
The Republican party is the only
party from which the friends of silver
have anything to hope. 1t is pledged
to the restoration Of silver as a money
metal, and the Republican party never
fails to fulfill its pledges. Free coin
age of both silver and gold is bound to
come as soon as the Republican party
again assumes control of the govern
ment, but it cannot come as long as
Democratic President, whose every
utterance is against free silver, stands
in the way. 1t does not seem possible
that any sane man can be misled by
the free silver talk of these Demo
cratic campaigners into voting against
the Republican party. Judge Moore,
the Republican candidate for justice
of the supreme court, is emphatically
in accord with the advocates of the
free coinage of both silver and gold as
money, and is in favor, as is every Re-
publican in favor, Of having every dol
lar as good as every other dollar.
Campaign circulars tending to put him
in "A false position ON this question
may be expected this week. The un
scrupulous tactics OF the enemy thu.
far in the campaign give promise of
even more desperate methods before
next Monday.
Republicans should be on their
guard. Every Republican ought TO go
to the polls and vote the Republican
ticket, and every true friend of silver
should do the same.

Saved as by Fire

"Uncle" Briggs Ellison and his
wife had very narrow escape from
cremation last Friday morning. Mr..
Ellison arose at an early hour,
lighted candle then made fire in
the stove, and went back to bed and
sleep. 1t is thought that he must
have thrown the match with which
he lighted the candle among a pile
of papers and books on the table.
A gentleman who was driving by the
house saw blaze and awoke the
old people just in time to save them
from a horrible fate. The articles
on the table were burned, a number
of holes burned in the carpet where
the papers from the table had fallen
and the wall near which the table
stood was slightly burned. Mr..
Ellison was fully insured, and the
loss has been satisfactorily adjusted
at $50.

the man who aspires to seat on

Moore possesses every quality which,
