Sidney M. Logan and Major Baldwin

clean the fish, wash the dishes, keep
watch of the camp at night and make
himself useful, and should he have any
time left he can enjoy himself fishing.
This is good offer for some one want
ing such trip for his health.
One of the most beautiful yards in
Kalispell at present is that of Frank H.
Nash. He has many large rose bushes
that are blooming in all their glory.
Last Sunday many people went by and
SO admired them that he cut off, giving
all handsome boquet of roses, and after
counting up in the evening he had re-
lieved the bushes of at least 500 bios
SONS, but they did not show that any
had been taken off, SO full of flowers are
they. He has many smaller bushes that
are just beginning to blossom, and be-
fore the summer is over will have about
40 rose bushes in bloom. Anyone who
says that rose bushes will not do well in
this valley is sadly mistaken.

A farmer living near Half Moon prairie
walked into the Office of Sidney M. Logan
Monday and said: did you ever hear
anything like this? l saw near my place
this morning some real eastern bob
white quails. How do you suppose they
ever got into this country" He did not
know that in the spring over % dozen
were turned loose in various parts of the
valley. The dozen that were placed
nearest him was on the Bernard ranch,
which is about 10 miles distant from
Half Moon, and it is remarkable how the
little birds will travel. Reports from
various parts of the valley are that all
that were turned loose are doing remark
ably well and that many young birds are
seen every day. Should all live that
have been Matched out, this valley will
soon be we'll supplied.
