The Great Northern smashed up two

four men and killing much stock last

Mrs. Walker of the West is a good

the fact that the American and British

her.

A SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR.

The Harvest Ball the Social Event Of
The Harvest ball given by the ladies Of
the Free Library association last Friday
night was not only the social event of
the season, but a financial success as
well, there being present over two hun
dred of Kalispell's society people as we'll
as many guests from distance.
The opera house, from which the seats
had been removed, presented beautiful
spectacle, SO artistically was it decorated
with cedar and products of the ranches.
There were circles and festoons hanging
from the balcony, on the wall and sur
rounding the stage, from which at 10
o'clock Prof. Bowen's orchestra sounded
the first measure of one of Sousa' S
marches.
The grand march was conducted
through a number of beautiful figures
by Miss Ferguson, Miss Pomeroy, Mrs.
Broderick and Mrs. E. Walker. Master
Glen Crane, costumed to represent the
squash, and little Miss Oracle Robinson,
the cabbage, presented favors to the
forty-two couple who took part in the
march, which broke into waltz and
the Harvest ball was on in earnest.
At II o'clock the ladies served what
they announced as luncheon, but which
was more properly banquet, so elegant,
delightful and abundant was everything.
The banquet was served in the lodge
room which adjoins the opera house and
had been tastefully decorated. Three
tables, extending the full length of the
room, were loaded with potted plants
cut flowers, cut glass, silver and dainty
food, while as though protecting all, the
Stars and Stripes and the Union Jack
were interwovsn at the west end of the
room.
The ladies of the association and those
who assisted them deserve much credit
for the complete success of the event
and will be able to place handsome
balance to the credit of the library.

FLATHEAD OIL FIELDS.
Vast District Where OIL Seems to FIJI
the Air.

Vast District Where OIL Seems to Fill
the Air.
AS each report from the new petroleum
and coal field reaches the city, the vast
ness of the territory becomes more bound
less. Surface indications demonstrate
that no real idea of the future can be
pictured, and it is safe to say that an oil
district more productive and of greater
extent than the Pennsylvania fields will
be opened up in the near future.
Reports from the new field are almost
identical with the first stories of the dis
covery of rock-oil in Pennsylvania. Oil
springs are found. Settlers have dug
pits, into which the crude oil collects,
and is then sold for higher price than
the highest grade of lubricating oil. The
native oil is used for medical purposes
and the fumes are noticeable ten and
twenty miles before reaching the field
During the past summer eight town
ships, or about 28S sections of GAO acres
each. have been surveyed, beginning
about thirty miles northeast of Marston,
on the north fork of Flathead river, near
Kintla lake; which seems to be the Gen.
ter of the petroleum and coal fields. A
few miles north of Kintla lake the Inter
national Boundary line crosses the field
from east to west. The present trails
leading into the district start at Bolton,
on the main line of the Great Northern.
Fred Wyman, who has been in the
district during the past summer, in the
employ of the government, says: There
are springs for miles which flow crude
petroleum and the streams are covered
with floating oil. At many points crude
native oil is dipped from springs and
packed into Cardsin and Mountain
View, across the line in Canada, where
there is a ready sale for the oil.
| You do not have to be keen scented to
find the springs, as the oil seems to be
in the very air. Coal is found in every
direction cropping out Of the ground,
and the veins are from three to sixteen
feet in thickness. I also found fine
quality of clay, which is only awaiting
the potter.
1.-The scenery surrounding the district
is the grandest and widest in America
The mountains are favorite homes Of
elk, moose, mountain goat, deer, bear
plenty of grizzlies mountain lion
In fact big game is more plentiful than
in any locality with which I am &C
quainted. The streams are filled with
trout and thousands of ducks and geese
can be seen on the numerous lakes"
