Registration Closed.

There was a general rush OF those
who had delayed registering until the
last day, in this city yesterday, and
when the registration agents closed
their books last night there had been
added to the voting population OIL the
township CPL new names, over the
number registered in 1898.
In precinct No. /, after the deduct
ing the transfers, the registry records
demonstrated that there were GAL
persons who were eligible to vote, and
of that number 231 were new registra-
ions.
Precinct No. 1 has the largest num-
Der of new registrations; in all there
were 800 new names added to the
list or total of all voters of 1893.
This precinct lays west of Main street,
is the most densely populated in the
county, and as consequence there is
also larger per cent of floating vot-
ers. The registry agent was given
much trouble by parties who were not
entitled to register but it is thought
that very few, if any, illegal voters
were successful in getting their names
placed on the list
A close watch is being kept on a
number of persons who are thought
to have made false affidavit to secure
registration and should there be any
endeavor on the part of this class to
vote, they will be arrested.
1t is especially flattering to this city
when the great number Of new regis
rations are considered. The addition
Of 621 NV names to the rolls indi-
Gates that the population Of the town
ship has been rapidly increasing since
1898, and figuring three persons to eact
Of the voting population, it indicates
that there has been an increase of
1863 since 1878. or, figuring at the
same ratio. there is population of
4.6O2 IN the township.
The books of the registration agents
will be opened again Monday, when
those who were unable to register, for
som good reason will be give nan op-
portunity to do SO.

Friday night Columbia Lodge, NO.

affair goes without contradiction, for
it is a we'll known fact that the ODD

royalty entertained their guests, some
fifty couples, enjoying the festivities
of the evening. The music furnish
ed by Mesurs. Chapman, Campbell,
and Lane, of Kalispell, was exceed
ingly good and those who danced were
profuse in their praises therefor.
Every Odd Fellow who could come in
from the country side was in attend
ance and the galaxy of beauty and
array of stalwart manhood was one
seldom seen here. The ladies danced
gracefully, while the gentlemen We'd
with each other to the end that none
were lacking partners. The floor
management was excellent, and the
dance was kept up from 9:15 p. m.
until a. M, with only an intermis-
sion of about thirty minutes for sup
per. Everyone went home well
pleased with the evenings entertain
ment and voted the Odd Fellows ball
Of Oct. 26 the best affair of the year.
The lodge will probably give another
entertainment during the year.
D. Comeau gave the supper upon
the occasion of the Odd Fellows
dance, it also being the public open

Mr.. COmeau is well known in this
vicinity, having catered to the travel

season.
The supper was well cooked, and
some fifty couples partook thereof.
The Valley House is now regularly
opened for public patronage, which
gives this city three hotels, the Gay
