The oldest inmate in point Of service is
Michael Foley. sent up for life on March

who has therefore been in prison nearly

neatly before going to breakfast and
upon returning to the cell, the cell must

fLATHEAD COUNTY.

Elsewhere in this tissue is a special ar
ticle devoted TO Flathead county, the
crown of the continent, and it's physi-
cal beauties are 50 ably described that
they may be omitted here.
Flathead is one of the most popular,
prosperous and wealthy counties OF the
state, and has such a diversity of re-
sources and industries that it is sure OF
a splendid future.
It's population is approximately lO,OOO.
and it's assessed valuation $4,149,569, OF
which 81, 1OS, 9O5 is on realty and 1881, 400
on personal property, with $1,059,2 5S on
railroads. 1t has an area of 5.569, OOO
acres, much of it being the finest kind
of farming land. All the grains and
grasses thrive there, and it is becoming
famous for its fruits and vegetables. The
excellence of it's fruits has attracted
general attention and several we'll known
gentlemen AVE recently secured orch
ards in thta favored section, among them
being Governor Smith, who is a Flathead
enthusiast.
Broadly speaking, it's resources are
! agriculture, horticulture, stock raising,
wool growing, dairying, lumberinng and
| mining. The latter industry is far from
being fully developed. but mines of great
value have been opened up, and the next
4 NV years Will see Aldly AIlS plopeAlico
added to the list.
The county has a beautiful freshwater
lake, the largest in the state, and it's
beauties are fully described elsewhere.
It is dotted with thriving cities and
towns, the largest being Kalispell, which
has a population Of between 5000 and A.
900. It is beautifully situated in the
Stillwell river, and it's progressive citi-
zens are rapidly sending it to the front.
Other populous towns are Columbus
Falls, where the state Soldiers home is
situated, Libby, Troy, %Sylvanite, Dayton.
Holt and Tobacco.
LAUNDERING is one of the most import
ant industries of the county and is do
ing much for the development of that
section. The Great Northern crosses
Flathead from east to west, having 1877
miles of road in the county and an i'm
portant branch is now being built.
On the subject, John O'Brien. president
of the lumber company of his name,
says:
"Within one week we expect to com
plete the road connecting the head OF
the lake with the main line of the Great
Northern railway. The road will be used
during the spring for logging purposes
1t is not however, in any respect a log
ging road.
w have already contracted for the
cutting of 10000 600 feet of timber, and
before the first of the year We will have
contracts completed for fully double thai
amount. Our saw mill will be built just
as soon as the road is completed. The
foundation is already laid and We eXpect
to have it saving the logs cut during
the winter as soon as the ice goes out In

Everybody knows Montana has q peni-
Tertiary, a good many people know its

yet. only the comparative few who hap
pen in the little old town of Deer Lodge

The town of Deer Lodge itself is one
of the most beautiful places in the state,
especially in summer, but travellers pass

usually given the "shudders' as the

A description of the prison as it really

Montana was ushered into statehood. the
federal government turned the Deer

THE REAL ESTATE SITUATION

in that direction as it affords rapid
transit and l think that in the next two
or three years Walkerville will be in
separately bound to Butte by solid blocks
of residences. My reason for belief that
the city will grow to the northwest. Is
the easy accessibility OF that section to
the mines and the fact that it is especA
tally desirable for residence purposes on
account of the freedom from smoke.
Real estate values AVE not advanced
very materially since 1898. The years
1898, 1899, and 1900 have seen the only ad-
vance since that time. Now, however,
inside property is advancing very rapid
ly and l think the city has shaken off it's
swaddling clothes and is to become a full
fledged city. Much credit for the city'a
advancement is due to the street rail-
way for extending it's lines and improv-
ing it's service.
"While Butte has never had a boom,
and does not want one, it would not take
much powder to start one of those dread
full explosions. Real estate sells cheaper
in Butte than in n city in the world

feet for every "a hours. This will give
Flathead lake the largest lumber output
in the state. The companies engaged in
numbering around the lake have in the
past not cut to exceed 5000, 900 feet
every year. We will the first year cut
-four times that amount
1.-THE railroad is II miles long and has
been built entirely by contract; that will
also be true of the cutting of the logs.
During the winter the contractors who
cut logs for us will employ not less than
700 men in the woods and possibly nearly
1000.
"The quality of timber growing around
Flathead lake II upon the several
rivers that strike the lake near it's head
is of the best and the supply is sufficient
to keep the mill running for many years.
The frequency of the water courses
makes it an easy matter to handle the
legs. When he logging season is over we
will still employ a large number of men
in the saw mill and the railroad will also
give employment to many.
1.-THE Great Northern railway will erect
a tie preserving plant close to the saw
mill at the head of the lake. President
Hill while in Europe picked up a pro-
cess whereby ties can be preserved for
50 years. The ordinary life of a tie is not
to exceed ten years. When they are used
longer than that the railroad company
takes dangerous chances.
This new process. however, will make
them proof against the elements and
make them serviceable for at least 30
years. The tie is cut in a W shape and
dipped in a solution of zinc and other
personalities and it is thus made proof
against the elements.
1.-The Great Northern railway will erect
a plant ts make this work possible inn
mediately. I understand that it will
cost in the neighborhood Of $4,000. From
Kalispell ties will be furnished for the
entire line. AS the old ties wear out
they will be replaced by picked ties.
The process has been experimental with
extensively and has been found to be en-
tirely practical and economical in every
way"

AND OF THE TOWN OF AUDUBON.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1900-10-25
Nal Bryan's Flag-Raising.

We understand our friend Nal Bry-
an, of Hamlin township, is to have q
fiag-raising down on the banks of the
classic Botna and is to have populis-
tic democratic speech made, one that
would suit his famous relative. Nal
says he is republican this year, that
is he is in favor of republic instead of
an empire, He thinks our ''institoo-
shuns" are going to the bow-wows,
that trusts, the great octapus, is clutch
ing at the threats of all the people, and
that the deliver Of all the people is his
famous cousin. He invited the editor
of this paper to come to the fag-rais-
ing, saying the speech would be good
and that We might ask all the questions
we wanted to and they would be ans
wered. As we are not furnished with
the date of the fag-raising we will just
submit these questions with the hope
the speaker will answer them:
l. If elected president will w. J.
Bryan cause the obligations of the gov
ornment to be paid in gold or sivers
2. Why did the democratic party in
congress almost solidly oppose the
resolution for constitutional amend
ment giving congress power to deal
with trusts?
3. Has Bryan changed position on
this question since he advised the adop-
ton of this amendment about year
ago?
4. How can Bryan establish the
stable government in the Philippines
which he promises to do without using
the military as Mckinley is doing to
first put down the insurrection?
5. Why is the democratic party
demanding independence" for the
brown men in the Philippines and
denying the right to vote to the enfran-
chised black citizens of our southern
states?
6. Why has Bryan formed such a
friendship with corrupt Croker if he is
guided by principle only?
These questions involve subjects up
on which the people desire Informal
ton. hope they will be answered,
as Nal promised, at the fiag-raising.

Croker met Bryan at the New York
city depot last week and rode down the
street in an open carriage with him.
The two appeared together on the
platform at the great meeting at Madi-
son square that night. In one of his
speeches. that night Bryan acknowled-
ged Cookers position by saying "Great
is Tammny, and Croker is its prophet"
Croker has grown to be very rich by
blackmail and crime. He is the boss
of the greatest and most corrupt politi-
cal machine in America. Croker
rotten methods are stencil to the
nostrils OF every good citizen in Amer
lea no matter what his politics. That
Bryan should go around cheek to jowl
with him is u surprise to most OF Bry-
ans friends. All men know Croker
has never until very recently favored
Bryan's leading principles. All men
know Croker is only in politics for the
spoils. All men recognize that If Bry'
an should be elected Croker would be
power in the new administration. DC
Bryan's friends here desire that?
