w. J. Bremen, who has been upon the
east end of the forest reserve placing his
rangers in the different districts, re-
turned home Tuesday night. He says
there are about $50 people in the mining
camps on the coded strip and that the
number is increasing every day.
Everybody should come to Kalispell
on the Fourth. There will be, besides
horse racing, all kinds of sports and
contests upon the streets in the evening.
This will be the best celebration ever
had in the valley. There will be many
people here from Libby and other points.

Two men, who gave their names as
George Bowc and Jack Donaldson, were
arrested this week charged with assault
and battery upon Jap. They both
pleaded guilty before the full facts of
the case were made known to the police
magistrate and were fined SIS each. Had
the facts as they were been made known
at the time they would not have Jared so
easily.
Nicely furnished rooms at the Royal
The great majority of the people who
attended the circus pronounce it the
worst fake that ever struck the town. It
simply had nothing in connection with
it that was redeeming. The officers
gave them to understand that crooked
work and shell games and other gamb-
ling devices could not be worked, but
they short-changed few and in one in
stance they were caught and made to
refund the money.
The road between Kalispell and To
bacco plains is in sore need of considera-
BILE work upon it. In many places it is
now almost impossible to get along with
an empty wagon, and when one has a
load he can, with difficulty, get through,
and that is all. The road is so narrow
in places that when tree falls upon it
the whole road is occupied and the tray
eler must either cut the tree out or make
new road through the timber. This
should be attended to this summer when
the road is in it's best condition, as the
travel upon it is growing constantly and
next spring it will be in condition for
travel otherwise in short time no road
at all will be there. At least two thous
and dollars should be honestly expended
without getting it any too good.
The train carrying the circus people
went into the ditch at Marion, several
miles west of here, and was late in ar
irving. 1t would have been just as well
had it remained there. Kalispell and
the county would have been many hun
dred dollars richer. Although the people
of the city and county were thoroughly
warned by the Bee that the show was /,
fake yet they went against it hard, that
is, many did. The side shows were the
best money makers, for them, they had.
When the doors opened for admission
four different ticket sellers were kept
busily engaged selling tickets, using
both hands passing them out. The crop
of curiosity seekers was never larger.
They wanted to see the fat woman, the
snake charmer and many other fakes.
They saw the whole thing. 1t cost them
quarter each.
A pleasant place for holiday-Foy's
lake.
Prof. Smith of the state university of
Montana was in Kalispell Wednesday to
meet government official from Wash
ington who will inspect the outlet of
Flathead lake with view to estimating
the cost of enlarging 1t so that the annu-
al high water in the lake may be avoided.
Atpresent the outlet is too small to admit
a free passage of the water which pours
into the lake during the season of fresh
cts and the result is that large guam
tity of land otherwise valuable is rendered
useless by the annual foundations to
which it is subjected. A government
appropriation has been made for the
purpose of making an estimate of the
cost of SO charging the outlet, and it is
likely that the work will be undertaken
within the next year or two. Prof. Smith
has taken observations of the rise and
fall of the water in the lake and has
great deal of data of value to the govern
ment officials.
