sizes the fact that more trees should bt
planted on our residence streets. Witt
SO many varieties of native trees thai
will thrive so we'll it seems a pity thai
our streets are not lined with them. L
only takes little work in the proper
season and requires no outlay of none,
for the trees can be had for the taking
in the nearby forests. Now that we have
such splendid system of water works
it is hoped that the planting of shade
trees will not be neglected.
The people of Columbia Falls and BAG
Rock we're considerably disappointed al
the failure of the county commissioners
to appropriate something toward cutting
down the grade on the east side road
The proposition of raising money by
subscription for this purpose does not
meet with favor here since the people
who would be benefited by this road are
citizens and taxpayers of Flathead coun-
ty, and community with a county gov
eminent should not be obliged to resort
to this primitive method. That the
safety as we'll as the convenience of all
who use the road demands that some
thing should be done with it is clearly
apparent. Our country is new and grow
ing rapidly. There are many places
where there are no roads whatever, and
the friends of this project should have
patience and remember that everything
cannot be done at once, that they must
always be alert in looking after their
own interests and not allow meritor-
ious and worthy improvement like this
to fail for the lack of advocates
Prospectors with heavily laden pack
horses are making their annual journeys
into the mountains in search of mineral.
A party that just returned from the
South Fork region reports the snow all
gone except on the very highest peaks.
that the waters of the creeks and rivers
is rapidly falling and now there is little
to hinder the prospector in his work.
They also report that the South Fork
claims never looked better, and the fine
somples running high in copper being
brought from that region would indicate
something tangible on which to pin their
faith. An assay on some rock taken from
shallow prospect hole runs $50 to the
ton in gold, silver and copper. There
are many claims that make an equally
good showing, and it is safe to predict
that sometime in the near future mines
will be opened up in this district.
The Bee will give reliable account of
the South Fork and other mining regions
of this end Of the county, but in the
absence of definite information, this will
have to be postponed to later issue.
The expected game of ball between
the local nine and the Kalispell team did
not take place on Sunday, owing to the
failure of the Kalispell club to appear.
This was frost to the large crowd that
had gathered to witness the game. The
boys of the local nine are naturally sore
and express themselves as being dis
gusted at the treatment they have receiv-
ed at the hands of the Kalispell club.
Under the circumstances the best that
could be done was game between the
local nine and picked nine under the
leadership of Jack Schegel who chris
tened his nine the "Kalispell.' The local
nine was handicapped by being required
to put out three men to two for their an
tagonists. A nine inning game under
these conditions resulted in score of
"a to II in favor of Columbia Falls.
c. H. Foot of Kalispell was visitor
in town on Friday.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. E. Lewis returned
from trip to their ranch at Bolton Sun
day. They made the trip down the river
in boat and caught over 200 fine trout.
Mr.. Talbot is building large add
ton to his barn.
The Yeomen are planning to give So
cial entertainment that will be an
nounced later.
J. w. johnson and family, James A.
Seaman and George II. Arnold of Kalis-
pell were registered at the Gaylord Sun
day.
Several of the boys attended the dance
at Joseph Tetrault's on the Whitetish.
M. B. Milton was buried in Fairyiew
cemetery with the honors of the Modern
Woodmen of America, of which order he
was member. This is the first death
in the camps of the Woodmen of the
valley and his funeral was largely at
tended by members of the Woodmen's
lodges of Kalispell and Columbia Falls.
The firm name of Skyles grocery and
market will probably be changed to J.
f. Skyles 4 Son. The new member of
the firm arrived on Monday and Jack is
wearing smile.
The Kalispen Bee costs $3.50 for one
