WHEN EVERYTHING STICKS.

"In muggy weather. said a retired
burglar, to a New York Sun reporter,
Il always stopped work, not because
work was unpleasant then, but on ac-
count of everything sticking so.
You couldn't tell what mirht hap
pen. Anything and everything was
liable to stick and make more or less
noise when you finally got it open. A
window might stick at first and then
go up with a bang. I've had a door
open on me in that way-fy open all
of sudden after I'd been pushing on
it for a long time and let me through
the doorway onto the floor. There's
always danger, for instance, in pull
ing out drawer that sticks of pulling
it clean out and letting it drop.
There's constant danger of some
thing of this sort happening and i
doesn't pay to take the chances. And
it's easy enough to know when tC
stay home. My rule was never to try
to do any work in weather that would
rust a jimmy"

FACTS AROuT THE EVE.

Eye Glasses or Spectaclcs, properly
fitted or adjusted afford in many in
stances positive relief from long list
of nervous disorders. The human eye
is intimately connected with III"
brain, over which it eXerts strong
sympathetic influence, and if there is
anything wrong with the eye. its eff
feet is soon felt in the nervous system.
There may be no signs of trouble in
the eye itself, and still an error in
its retroactive qualities may be the II
rect cause of almost any nervous tiou,
BILE the body is heir to. A person r.ty
be born near sighted, far sighted cr
anstigmatic. and not be aware of the
fact themselves, still either of these

THE OUTLOOK
IS VERY GOOD
Oil Prospectors Return to Kali
ispell
LOCATED MANY CLAIMS
Drilling for Oil Will Co nmence in Sixty
Days.-Company Of Kalispell
Men Interested.
LOCATED MANY CLAIMS

l.. j. Schlagel and AL klingensmith
returned Thursday from a prospecting
trip near the kintla Lake oil fields.
They were in that country about two
weeks and after thorough inspection
of the situation are exceedingly i'm
pressed with the outlook for big oil
strike in that section. These gentle
men were representing company
OF kalispell business men who are in
terested in the oil fields and who upon
receiving their favorable report will
proceed to the development of the oil
prospects in that section.
The district where the new company
will operate is about six miles from
the Kintla lakes and is on the west
side Of the river. The claims are in
townships "a and IS and are fully as
good as those nearer the lakes where
the first oil discoveries were made.
The oil indications were plain and
the seepages fully as marked as
those first discovered. The Kintla
Oil fields are on the east side of the
Flathead river while the newly dis
covered prospects are on the west
side. A large number of claims were
secured for the Kalispell company,
but the number will not be made pub
lie until some future time.
The gentlemen composing the COM
pany from this city are H. c. Keith, G..
H. Foot, A. B. Cutler, DR.. A. Morrow,
Seth McFarren, Jr., F. M. McKisson.
R. F. Tate, r. J. Boorman, Will
Schagel. John Ovelman, H. Thatcher,
E. J. Schagel and AL Klingensmith.
These gentlemen are all substantial
business men of Kalispell and all are
impressed with the bright outlook of
the oil district and are willing to de-
vote the necessary means to develop
their prospects there.
With the advent of the proper drill
ing machinery now on the ground in
the Kintla district and which will be
in operation inside of sixty days the
prospects for activity in the oil coun-
try is assured. The wide area in
which oil indications are found tends
to confirm the belief that Flathead
county is the center of the largest oil
district in the United States.
