LASTS MUCH LONGER.
Ties From the Picking Plant Are
Now BEING Laid.

The ties subjected to treatment at
the Great Northern picking plant at
Somers are now being placed in po-
sition along the main line of that
railroad and are giving general salts
faction. 1t is stated by officials who
are in position to know that the ties
after being treated last much longer
than the others and that their eff
cheney in holding spikes and resist
ing decay is three-tenths greater. The
ties from the plant will first be used
on sections of the track subject to
moisture, but it is intended to relay
as much of the track as possible with
the ties after treatment as it has
been found that they have greater
toughness of fiber and do not splinter
SO readily.
The picking plant at Somers is one
of the very few establishments Of the
kind in the United States, there be-
ing but three more in the whole
country. Few people of the state OF
of the county have any idea of the
magnitude of the works at Somers
Or Of the large area vi the grounds
covered by the necessary additions
to the establishment. A large num-
ben of men are employed and the
number of ties treated in a week
runs up into the Thousands.

NOT THE SHER,FF'S FAULT.
Warden of the state Penitertiafy
Failed to Notify the Officers.

A majority of the state papers are
having considerable amusement, ap
parently, over the fact that Sheriff
Hand of this county overlooked, as
they claim, a reward of 500 for the
return of Frank Gardiner, the half
breed, who escaped from the state
peritcn'iar! about two months ago,
ana who was afterwards convicted
in this county of assault and sentenc-
ed 10 FIVE years at Deer Lodge. When
Sheriff Hand reached the prison with
his man it was discovered that Gard
liner had been sen; to the penitentiary
from Choteau county and had sue
ceeded in making his escape before
his term expired, having about six
months yet to serve. A reward OF
500 had been offered for his recap-
ture, but Sheriff Hand did not know
of it and consequently is out that
amount.
1t seems, however, that the wardens
The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1901-11-23

of the penitentiary did not send any
notice of the escape to kalispen, and
the officers here were in ignorance
that such a man was wanted, or, it is
safe to say, he would have been ap-
pretended before he could do any
1t was a clear case OF ne
glect OF duty on the part of the war

on them Their failure 10 notify the
officers here almost resulted in the
death of an innocent man. as Gard
iner's victim had most narrow escape
from receiving serious injuries at the
hands of the escaped conN let.

to make good follow of himself by
buying liquid refreshments to alevi-

claimed that when he entered the box

BIG OIL. DRILL
IN OPERATION
Active Work Commenced by
the Company From Butte.
is DOWN SIXTY FEET
The Indications Are Most Favorable and
the Work Will Be Rapidly Pushed
to Completion.
IS DOWN SIXTY FEET

James Thompson returned to kalis-
pell Tuesday night after a stay of
several weeks duration Ill the kintla
oil fields. He had been employed
most of the time while in that coun-
try on the properties owned by the
Butte, Oil company and speaks in
glowing terms of the future of that
section. He brought back with him
about a gallon of the finest oil yet
seen in kalispell which was taken
from the big petroleum seepage
only a mile distant from where the
oil well is being sunk by the Butte
company.
This company began drilling oper-
ations last week and by Saturday.
when Mr.. Thompson left. they had
gone down to depth of about so feet,
with most favorable indications. The
soil is well adapted at that point for
drilling and it is expected that when
the layer of shifting rock is passed
through operations will proceed much
faster
The well is being sunk about 600
yards from the shore of the big lake,
near its head, and near the heart of
so feet high has been erected, to-
house and all necessary buildings. so
that at present all work is being done
under shelter. The drill is in charge
of a Mr.. Gallon, an oil well man of
% years experience in the oil fields
of Pennsylvania. He is most enthu-
siastic over the prospects and says
that the fields of oil in Flathead coun-
ty outclass anything of the kind in
Pennsylvania and that the outcome
is foregone conclusion.
The new boiler recently purchased
in this city is proving most satisfac
tory and all the machinery is now
working smoothly. Enough lumber
has been sawed to erect another der
rick and work will be under way as
soon as the necessity for it is appar
ent. There are six men now EN-
ployed at the works and it is thought
that more will be added before
spring. As yet the snow has caused
| no Inconvenience, but enough supplies
have been taken in to last until
| spring, SO there will be no delay or
| that account. 1t is the intention tC
| push the work as rapidly as posi-
| bic and to that end no effort will be
spared.
AS time passes the enthusiasm il

VEST ON THE DOG.
The Famous Missouri Senator's EIo-
quent Tribute TO the Faith
fuI Animal.

One of the most eloquent tributes
ever paid to the dog was delivered by
Senator Vest, of Missouri, some years
ago, says the Nashville American.
He was attending court in country
town, and while waiting for the trial
of a case in which he was interested
he was urged BY the attorneys in a
dog case to help them He was paid a
fee of $3.50 by the plaintiff Volumin-
Gus evidence was introduced to show
that the defendant had shot the dog
in malice, while other evidence went
to show that the dog had attacked
the defendant Vest took no part in
the trial, and was not disposed to
speak. The attorneys, however, urged
him to make a speech. else their client
would not think he had earned his fee.
Being thus urged, he arose, scanned
the face of each juryman for mo-
ment and said:
"Gentlemen of the jury, the best
friend man has in the world may
turn against him and become his en-
emy. His son or daughter that he has
reared with loving care may prove

ISLAND IN THE JACKPOT.
and Is worth Many
Fortunes.

At one of the most interesting games
OF poker ever played in Minneapolis
Nicollet island vas put in the jack
stood the game, but found there were
others who understood it better. In
1876 Pierre Bottineau took up claim
on the spot where st. Paul now stands.
A year later he traded it for a horse
and COW, which he drove away into
the wilderness, never dreaming that
the land he had almost given away
would in a few years be the site of
a great city. For small sum he pur
chased a large portion Of what is now
the business part Of Minneapolis and
put up log cabin in little mound
in the center Of Nicollet island, says
the Albany Telegram.
Half a dozen of the old settlers, Bot
tineau among them, had little poker
club. One evening the stakes kept
growing larger and larger until every
jack pot contained a small fortune.
Mr.. Bottineau had been losing heavily,
but at last he was dealt a hand upon
which he hoped TO regain his losses and
win something besides. He was given
four queens and, drawing one card,
secured an ace. leaving four kings as
the only hand by which he could be
beaten. He thought he saw one of
the players discard king, and he con-
sidered bis hand invincibie and played
IL accordingly. Soon all but Bottineau
and the man opposite him dropped
their cards and retired 10 watch the
game. The table was heaped with
money and the personal belongings
Of the two men.
The pickering light of the candle
shone dimly on the flushed faces as
they watched each other warily out of
the corners Of their eyes. All OF Bot
tineau's possessions lay on the table,
and il was his bet. He looked at his
hand carefully and then said that all
he had left was NicolIet island, which
he would bet against $780, The bet
was called, and Bottineau laid down
his four queens with a smile Of tri-
umph. Amid a dead silence his oppo-
nent laid on the table, face up, four
kings and tray. 1t was so still you
could have heard them breathe. Then
Bottineau called for writing materials
and made out a deed to the island.
From that day he never touched a
card or countenanced gambling in any
form.
After drifting around the country he
went to Red Lake Falls and took up a
claim and remained there until the
time of his death. He was employed
as a guide and scout and was one of
the principal members OF the Sibley
expedition. He knew every foot of the
northwest country. having traversed
1t ever since he was ten years old, when
he guided Lord Selkirk's colonists
from old Fort Garry. When he died,
the last Of the old-time Canadian voy-
ayers and guides, who were such an i'm
portant factor in the upbuilding Of the
northwest, passed away.
