Work in the Oil District About Fin.
ished for the Year.

Bolton, Dec. 4.-From present in
been working in the North Fork oil
district have about completed their
labOrs until the coming open season.
There are, however, number of
men who will remain in the field
during the winter and considerable
prospecting will be done.
The last report from the Kintla
lake district, where the Butte Oil
company is now sinking their wells,
are to the effect that the well is now
down 124 feet and that work is pro-
crossing as rapidly as possible. At
the present rate of drilling it is
thought that the well will tap the oil
strata early in February.
The Butte Oil company have con-
tracted with Jack Reuter- to pack in
the remainder of their supplies, which
will end their shipments of supplies
into the field this winter.
Thomas Jefferson Uncle jeff with
his pack outfit is now in Bolton and
brings the latest reports from the
oil country. He is taking in the last
of his winter supplies.
A party composed of DR.. c. B.

To Be Introduced in Kalispell
IN a Short Time.
TWO MAIL CARRIERS
Will Be Employed, One for Each Section
Of the City-Will Be In Operation
Before Spring.

During the past year there have
been rumors in circulation that some
time in the indefinite future Kalis.
pell would have a free mail delivery.
At first but little credence was
placed in the report and because
nothing had been said about it for
some time past the majority of the
residents Of the city thought that the
attempt to procure the delivery sys-
tenn had been abandoned.
The facts of the case, however. are
directly to to the contrary, and
from good authority it has been
learned that Kalispell will have a car
rier system in less than two months.
As soon as the report of the auditor
for the section Of the postoffice de-
partment which includes Kalispell in
it's jurisdiction is made public steps
will be taken for the immediate in
PRODUCTION Of the carrier system in
the Kalispell postofiice, and there is
not the slightest doubt but what the
movement will meet with immeGi.
ate success.
In every way Kalispell meets the
necessary qualifications for the in
PRODUCTION Of such a service. The re.
ceipts from the postoffice exceed by
over a thousand dollars the amount
OF business necessary. There is not
city in the state that has better
sidewalk facilities or is better light
ed, and the streets are all named and
each house is numbered. In fact,
there is not qualification that Kai.
ispell does not possess and from
present indications the people of Kali
ispell will be having their mail
brought to their doors before spring,
at the latest.
The advantages of carrier system
are obvious. AS is we'll known, the
capacity Of the Kalispell postoffice is
overtaxed and it is impossible under
the circumstances as they are at
present for the Office force to properly
attend to the work they now have to
do. Even with a larger room than
formerly. it is still inadequate for
the needs Of growing town like Kali
ispell, and the necessity of finding
some means of relieving the pressure
is imperative.
The postoffice department at Wash
ington understands the situation, ard
for this reason they will introduce the
carrier system as quickly as possible
They have given their assurance to
that effect, and with the consent of
the department gained, the last OBJ
stacle was removed.
II the system is introduced there
will be two carriers appointed Or
this city, one for the west side and
one for the east side. Each carrier
will have his route mapped out All.
also the hours for delivering the mail.

slippers and then followed Ayres to
his room, he having returned to his

When she turned the knob of the

NEW TOWNSHIPS SURVEYED
Work Will Probably Be Done by .
kalispeIl Man.


B. s. Adams, county surveyor, has
been unofficially informed that his
bid for the contract to survey the un-
organized townships in the western
part of the county was the lowest and
that it would probably be accepted.
The townships to be surveyed are
south of Pleasant Valley and are num-
bered as follows:
Townships 26 n, 81 w.; q n, 26 w.;
rs n, ~ w.; % n, 27h W.; % n,
% w.; q n, 20 w.; 20 n, % w.; % n,
20 W.; "a n, 81 w.; and q n, 20 W.
At present there are numerous
homestead claims on most of these
townships and as soon as the lands
are surveyed filings will be made at
the land Office in this city. II his
bid is accepted, as seems probable,
Mr.. Adams will commence work ear
ly in the spring.

where she washed her hands and
wrapper and went to bed. The wrap
per was exhibited to the witness and
identified by him. On cross-examina-
ton Detective Horne said Mrs. b.
nine said to him that she hesitated
to mention the tragedy because she
feared in doing so she might do in
justice to the dead.
After Ayres fell she found, she
said. that her own hand clasped the
barrel and that her hands were GOV.
cred with blood. She had not dis
covered the pistol in Ayres' hand un-
til she had bolted the door.
Stenographer Edwin Hess two re-
ports of statements made by Mrs
BONNIE to the chief of police were Of
fered as evidence and accepted, the
defense making no objection
District Attorney Gould read the
statements to the jury. The first was
made on May II, two days after the
tragedy. and in this Mrs. BONNIE en-
pressed the opinion that a man must
have done the killing because she did
not suppose a woman capable of the
crime. She said then that she knew
or no one who was jealous of Ayres.
She herself did not feel annoyed, she
said. upon seeing Ayres with other
women. She said she had not known
that Ayres was preparing to leave the
hotel.

nection between Ayres' announced

tragedy itself, as Mrs. BONNIE had
. week previously declared that she
expected to change boarding houses.
