BUSINESS MEN A UNIT

G.. G.. Willis. writing to Tie Plains
man. of Plains, Mont. has the follow
ing to say of the recent meeting of
the State Horticultural society in this
city:
I'VE arrived at Kaiispell at $3.50
a. m. and did not expect to find any
one to meet us at that hour. Imagine
our surprise when we alighted from
the train to find the depot platform
crowded with our friends Of Flathead
county. We were escorted to the
West hotel. the best in the city, that
MADE special rate to the society.
and is good hotel. We soon turned
in to dream of big red apples and
did not awake until late hour in the
morning. l was. .agreeably surprised
to see the magic growth OF Kalispell,
In 1891 and 1892 the Great Northern
railway was built and l was freight
ing to the construction camps.
Where now stands the M. M. COM
pany's large block a wagon tire came
off. There was only one dirt cover
ed cabin in the entire town. We went
to that and secured a pail of water
from a we'll that looked as much like
milk as water. We gathered up few
stakes and field rails and soon had
the tire set in our western way. Lit
tie did l think in a short ten years

one of the busiest towns in the west.
They have a water system of clear,
sparkling water, good city govern
ment, the best lighted town l know
of, two large Touring mills, two ele-
vators belonging to outside compan-
les. Wheat is selling and has been
been for 76 cents per bushel since
last fall. See the difference? We

ern towns. never was among a
more hospitable people in my life
than the people of kalispell and Flat
head valley.
One of the most pleasant features
of the trip was the excursion over the
new line of road from Kalispell to
the O'Brien Lumber company's large
saw mill and tie-pickling plant at Nc
Governs bay at the head of the lake.
They have several hundred men
working there and nearly all of the
machinery is now on the ground and
being placed as fast as seventy-five
carpenters and an army of machinists
can construct and place 1t. We had
fine view Of the lake from the point
of rocks.
The program as published was car
ried out in full and the remarks after
each article were full of practical in
formation. The musical entertain
ment was treat to all who attended
and was highly appreciated. The ban
quet, which was held at the West
hotel, was a luxurious affair and was
the crowning event of harmonious
and instructive horticultural session.

PUNCTURiNG A FRAUD.

There has been found a judge in
New York with bravery enough to
throw the writing expert ont Of court
and to declare that real evidence
must be brought before him to secure
the conviction Of any one.
The growth OF the writing expert
has been imperceptible. In Il general
way man may swear 70 signature
with which he is familiar. This is q
duty imposed upon bank officers and
many others who have to scrutiniZe
papers brought before them. From
TINS beginning certain men have as
sumed TO build the detection of writ
ing into d science, and upon their al
IcGeu insight many man has been
convicted. Gradually the writing eX-
pert found it as necessary to main
tain his conclusions as a detective
does 10 furnish evidence for the con-
Nlction of his prisoner. Judges were
overaWed by the mysterious methods
of those gentlemen and unconscious
ly let down the bars in their favor.
Justice Fursman, declaring that
the law has treated with too much
courtesy those pretending to expert
knowledge has dealt black eye
to tne writing expert. There was cited
one case, that of NJ. Bertilon, the
anthropometrist of the Paris police,
who, during the first Dreyfus trial,
assumed the role of wiring expert,
and by whose testimony largely the
accused officer was convicted; later
on direct ard unimpeachable evidence
established the fact of another al-
lnorship than Dreylus's Of the docu-
ments in question and all of Bertil-
hons finespun theories and sworn
statements forthwith vanished into
thin air, For these fraudulent acts
the Paris project of police summarily
dismissed Bertillon from the service
in disgrace, but subsequently politi-
cal and army influence restored him
to his position, especially as the sys-
tenn of measuring criminals devised
by him had been of great service in
France.
Justice Fursman has done the pub
lie a service Atlanta Constitution.

Amendment.
CARRIERS LONG TALK
In An Effort To Defeat The River And
Harbor Bill.-Bi1l Sent Back
To Conference.

Washington, March 4.-From 1890
last night the senate remained in con.
tinuous session to clear up necessary
legislation which had to reach the
president for signature before ad-
journment. The most interesting fea-
ture of the session was the action
upon the sundry civil appropriation
bill, when the senate receded from
its amendment for Sunday closing
for the three exposltlons, St. Louis,
Buffalo and Charleston. 1t was the
last remaining item of the bill in dis
agreement, and all danger of an ex-
ira session was over. Throughout
the night there was a determined ef-
fort to defeat the river and harbor
bill led by Carter. After Carter had
talked for four hours on the bill it was
sent back to conference.
