State Line Avenue Itself Again.

This morning at an early hour an
army of interested men, as well as
many others who were employed as
day laborers, began the work of
tearing away the fenSe aud booths
on State Line Avenu4 just used as

There was much WORK to do to
accomplish this feat within a day,
but the force was Sufficient to the
emergency and the men worked
away with a will.
Many OF the merchants had men
on the ground to tear away that
part of the buildings and sheds be-
longing to them, and the activity
on State Line was great.
We saw several Elks at work, Civ
ing orders, aud one of them said to
the reporter that it was their inten-
tion to clean up the street by night
and all the pieces of timber not fit
to be used and not carted off, would
be piled up and big BONFIRE kin
died and it consumed. We shall be

A SOCIAL TEMPEST.

Complications of serious nature
are threatened in government circles
at Washington over the question of
precedence between Mrs. Admiral
Dewey and Mrs. General Miles. The
contest bids fair to entirely eclipse
the victory of Dewey at Manila, or
the famous campaigns against the
Indians by Miles. Before Dewey
was raised to the rank of admiral,
there was no question about the mat
ter, for Mrs. Miles was then accord
ed precedence at all the social func-
tons of the official set by decision
of the state department. But things
have changed since Dewey cleaned up
the Spanish fleet at Manila and there.
after took unto himself wife, who
afterwards took unto herself the
management of her husbands pOliti-
cal fortunes, and made such a ghast-
ly mess of them. AS the wife of
the admiral, Mrs. Dewey is disposed
to insist on her social rights, one of
which she conceives to be the right
to treat the wives of the cabinet Off
Gals as if they were just little bit
lower in the social scale than she is.
OF course the cabinet ladies cannot
see it in that light. They are in
clined to regard Mrs. Dewey as some
thing of a social upstart and they are
likely to be found on the side of Mrs
Miles in the impending social war
fare. And although sensible people
all over the country will be inclined
to laugh at the whole affair and re-
gard it as very petty and inconse-
quential, nevertheless, such symp-
pathies as are unusually excited by
such squabbles, are likely to be
against the woman who has paced
eye in the light of victim of petit
coat government,
The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1900-12-13

would have nothing to do with such
a palpaDle effort to thwart their will
as expressed at the polls, but the
scheme will hardly work for several
reasons. One reason is that the past
record of the Clarkites justifies cred
cnce of Just about any kind OF pc.
litical rottenness, from betraying
friends and violating agreements to
purchasing a United States senator
ship or stealing seat in the legis'a-
ture. Another reason is that Flat
head is not the only county where
contests have been inaugurated as u
result of visit from Mr. w. M. Bick.
ford, chief distributing agent of the
Clark barrel. Meagher, Carbon, Deer
Lodge and Ravalli counties as we'll
as Flathead, have been visited by Mr..
Bickford or some other Clark agent
during the past two weeks, and as a
result in each of them a contest has
been commenced avowedly in the in
terests of w. A. Clark. The Clarkitcs
in the other counties evidently be-
lieve it useless to deny that they are
behind the contests, but in this Coun-
ty they hold up their hands and roll
their eyes to heaven at the least sng
gestion of their completely in tho
Long contest.
1t is a matter for congratulatiol
that the local Clark leaders have at
least sufficient respect for public
opinion to pretend to be ashamed Of
their effort to hold up the electors
of this county for the seat awarded
to Mr.. Faust, but their past record
and the evidence at hand brands their
prctense as bald buncoism.

They DENY IL.

1t is Just a little funny to hear the
local Clarkites, especially the fellows
close to the barrel, repudiate the con.
test brought in behalf of the sena-
torial aspirations of their patron saint
by Mr.. Thomas Long. To hear the
talk on both sides one would imagine
that Mr.. Long is playing a lone hand
in the matter with no assurance or ex.
pectation of support from the Clark
barrel. The chairman of the coun.
ty comittee and one or two others
prominent in looking after the inter.
ests of the boodler in this neck-o'
woods. are said to express the most
emphatic disapproval of Mr.. LONGS
contest, and Mr.. Long, on the other
hand, is said to be highly incensel
at the GOODNESS with which his eff.
forts to represent this county in Mr.
Faust's stead are received by his c:,.
workers in the Clark vineyard.
1t is very pretty play and entirely
worthy of the cause it is intended to
serve. The purpose is to hoodwink
the people into believing that Clark
