Kalispell, Nov. 3.-The smallpox scare
has entirely subsidized and all cases that
were at the pesthouse have been cured
and the patients sent away. The doctors
and other health officers did good work
and by acting promptly in the matter
prevented a spread of the dread disease.
No further trouble is anticipated from
this source.
The little daughter of James HART died
this week of diphtheria and since that
time three other cases have developed.
The last case is that of the oldest daugh-
ter of Sidney M. Logan, and his home
has been quarantined The little girl has
been going to school and it is feared that
there may be a spread as a result and
the schools have been closed for time.
The soldier boys of Company H are
gradually finding employment and 1t is
hoped that very soon all will have some
thing to do. The boys are all anxious to
go to work and every effort is being made
to find employment for them. Several
of the boys who have relatives in the
East will go there soon to make visit
to the homes of their parents and Will
then return here, .
This has been a very disagreeable fall
in Flathead county. Nothing like it has
been experienced here before and 1t Is TO
be hoped that nothing like 1t will again
make its appearance in this part. The
farmers are still busily engaged in TAX
| ing care of their grain and considerable
| is yet unthreshed. They are now getting
| from 40 to so cents per bushel and many
| are holding out in hopes of higher prices.
| which they think will prevail during the
! 10 Is
| per 100 pounds and considerable is being
marketed. The yield in this valley this
| year was very heavy and little was lost
| on account Of wet weather. Considerable
| was damaged some, but not so much that
it was destroyed for the market. A sec
| ond class grade was given 1t and as such
| it is being sold.
The Whteside bribery case has been
set for trial Dec. and a hot time is ex-
| pected at that time, as the state has sew
era attorneys who will assist in the
prosecution. The defense is equally well
loaded with good legal talent. At pres
ent the attorneys that will assist County
/ Attorney Gray are S. M. Logan, r. d.
Long, and it is thought that Mr.. Bickford
| will also assist. Those for the defense are
| Connolly Hartman Grub and Noff-
| singer With this amount of legal talent
| 1t is presumed that both sides will make
| stubborn fight and that the case will be
! holly contested from start to finish There
/ has been some talk of getting another
| judge to come here and try the, case. but
| it is only talk and nothing has been done
| in the matter. and 1t is not known wheth-
| er either side will ask for another judge
| After all the expenses are paid in
| bringing the boys of Company H home
| and in entertaining them after they ar
| rive. it is thought good sum will be left
| out of the general fund raised, which will
| be turned over to the boys for. their dis
| posal. Some talk is on foot of organizing
| some sort of an organization among them
| and keeping such organization alive for
mutual benefit.
| kalispell has had quite building boom
| this year. Several good substantial brick
| and stone business blocks have gone up
| and many brick and frame residences
| have been built and more are building
| An estimate of the amount of money ex-
pended this year in building places the
| amount at over 100000. This is a good
| showing for a city like Kalspell, and
| each building encourages others. The
| city is gradually tearing out the old
/ frame business structures and replacing
| them with brick and stone buildings that
| are a credit. More building in this line
| is promised for next season.
| The man Woods, who was here in Au-
| gust getting the gullible people to pay
/ him s25 to locate them on timber claims
|
| furnish them money with which to make
/ proof. and that when they had made fina
| proof and obtained patent that he and
/ his friends in Michigan and other points
4 East would. pay them a bonus of about
| $3.50 for their land has skipped out and
/ at last accounts was doing business al
| and around Spokane fleeing the people
there. About % of those who made APP.
| plication have failed to prove up because
| they did not have the money and because
| their man Woods failed to put in an APP
pearance when he said he would do so
They not only lose the money they have
paid for the publications of their no
tees. but are out the S25 which they paid
/ this Woods to locate them. and have lost
/ their right to again file upon timber lands
/ Very little sympathy is given them here
| as it is such an old game having. been
practiced here before with good success
| They do not dare to make complaint LEST
they get themselves into trouble, and Sc
this man goes free swindling the people
| of other sections. 1t is to be hoped tina
some law will he found which will fit tn,
case and that this and other men doing
| these things may be brought to justice
Many others who did not have any as
sistance from this man have made fina
proof on their claims and now have som,
very fine timber land. f."
The fishing in the waters of Flatheat
county was never better than at present
Many of the citizens go to the Flatheat
river, about three miles from Kalispell II
the morning and return about noon with
good strings. varying from 10 to 20 nice
large, fat trout, Weighing from one tt
two pounds each. 1t is all fly fishing ant
this makes the sport more interesting.
Many of the sports are now out aftel
large game. and it is reported that deel
are plentiful this season. The better
game shooting will be when the snow
comes, and then all who wish and have
the time may get all the deer they may
want or the law will allow them to shoot
