it already exceeds the primitive ac-
commodations for them. The Great
Northern railway is said to contem-
plate erecting new hotel, perhaps
next year, and providing better roads
and means of transportation.
Flathead county, in which this re-
gion is included, is full of scenic at
fractions. Larger than the state of
Connecticut, it is the lake country of
the far West Over 100 beautiful bod
les of water are known within its linn
its. Its thriving county seat, Kalispell,
has a name which means "ear DROP
from the shape of the lake to the west
ward which bears the French name
with the same meaning, Pend d'Oreille.
A recent steamboat sail Of so miles
down the Flathead river and lake end
ed by carriage drive across the In
dian reservation of the same name,
has given the writer wider knowledge
of the wonderful range of natural
beauties to be found here. Some day
summer resort. Flathead lake is the
largest body Of fresh water west Of
the Rocky mountains, and is rarely

already established on it's western
shore, and the state university has

the other side. The largest existing
ton, belonging to a half-breed fam
lily. It numbers some 300. while
friend who has lived long in Montana
tells of riding so miles through an i'm
mense mass Of buffalo pasturing on the
plains. The United States government
procured their destruction almost by
the million to force The Indians to give
up their nomadic habits. The common
Indian belief is that the vast numbers
of buffalo have not ceased to exist, but
are now confined in great cave far
to the north, from which some valiant
chief will one day deliver them and
drive them forth again upon the plains
to furnish their hunters sport and
profit.

MYSTERY IS SOLVED.
Owners of the Property in the Abandoned
Camp Found.


Camp Found.
The sheriff has found the owners of
the personal effects which We're discov-
cred a few days ago in an apparently
abandoned camp southwest of the city,
and the mystery has been solved. They
belong to Henry McNamora and Will
lam Hover and as they fully establish
ed their title to the stuff it was turned
over to them. Deputy Sheriff Aware
went out yesterday morning to make
further investigation of the camp sur
roundings and met McNamora, who
had been searching for his property.
McNamora explained that he and How
er had camped at the place where the
stuff was found and that both came to
town a week or so ago. McNamora Sc
cured employment and requested How
err to go out to the camp and bring in
their horses and effects, but Hover
did not go and the horses strayed away
and their property in the camp remain
ed there until discovered by some boys
and turned over to the sheriff as evil
dence of a mystery.

BEFORE JUDGE LINDSAY
The Contempt Matter in the
Minnie Healey Case.
THE CASE WAS DISMISSED
Montana Ore Purchasing Company Per-
mitted to Do Certain Development
Work Near the Rarus-Other
Matters Heard,

Judge Lindsay held session of court
yesterday in the United States court
room and heard the contempt matter in
the Minnie Healey mining case. The
plaintiff in the case, Miles Finlen, ac-
cused F. Aug. HeinZe and the Montana
Ore Purchasing company with violat-
ing the injpnction order of the court
issued some time ago by which the de-
PENDANTS were restrained from operat-
ing in certain portion of the ground
in dispute. The plaintiff introduced
some testimony to show that Mr..
Heinze was guilty Of contempt, but it
was of rather indefinite and uncertain
character and the plaintiffs attorney
then asked leave to file new or amend
ed affidavit, but the court refused the
permission and said if the plaintiff had
no stronger evidence than that intro
duced he would dismiss the proceed
ings, which was done and the defend
ants discharged.
An order to show cause why tenn
porary injunstion should not be issued
in a suit of the Boston & Montana COM
pany against the Montana Ore Pur-
chasing company to restrain the latter
rum IlllllIlS III ground owned Dy tne
plaintiff and adjoining the Rarus, came
up for hearing, but the parties agreed
that the injunction might be issued.
providing, however, that the defendant
may do certain development work for
the purpose of determining the apex
OF vein. 1t was also agreed that the
court should appoint two men to look
after the ore taken out and stored, the
expense to be borne equally by the
plaintiff and defendant
An order to show cause in a suit of
Ben Baker against the Butte City
Water company, in which Attorney
John E. Healey. representing the plain
tiff, was cited into court to show cause
why he should not be required to re-
turn to defendants counsel the bill of
exceptions and statement on motion for
a new trial which had been served on
him, was also heard. Mr.. Healey had
refused to surrender the BILL claiming
that it was copy but after some ar
gument by counsel on both sides, Judge
Lindsay made an order that Mr. Healay
return the statement to the defendants
counsel. The judge said he regretted
that the time of the court was consumed
by such a matter.
The matter of the final report of J. P.
Collins as special administrator of the
estate of A. c. White. deceased, and the
objections thereto also was partially
heard by Judge Lindsay and will be re-
sumed this morning.
In the divorce case of Eta Pearce
against Harry Pearce, in which the de-
PENDANT peltitioned the court for a
change Of venue to Deer Lodge county,
the plaintiff yesterday filed an affidavit
opposing it.~-She- says they have lived
in Butte for three years as husband
and wife and that the defendant does
not live in Anaconda. but simply
worked there for few weeks.

. Archbishop Chappella's advocacy OF the
permanent retention Of the Philippine
islands may be based entirely upon the
belief that 1t Is for the interest Of this
country, but there Is another reason
which might influence him. Under the
treaty the United States is bound to
maintain the CONTROL OF the spanish
friars over the vast tracts OF land which
Jhey now hold, and which the Filipinos
have tried to oonfscate and would con-
fiscate should they have the opportunity.
The protection of the property of the
Roman Catholic church IL therefore at
stake and may have some weight with
the Archbishop in determining his atti-
tude on the question whether Luzon shall
be controlled by us or by Its own people.
