Haymakers report the crop not SO
g God as promised earlier in the season.
June was much colder than usu al and
tho lack of a few hot days prevented the
growth of hay, although the range is il
splendid condition.
The Q. & l.. saloon is now I'M der the
management Of p. e. Moran who pur-
chased the stock from Quimby & Lud-
wig. The new proprietor will maintain
the reputation established by his pre-
decessors and will handle nothing but
the best.
Mrs. F. d. Kingsbury is entertaining
her mother and two sisters, who are
here for the summer. Mrs. Casey and
her daughter Efie are from Clinton,
Missouri and Mrs. Edgar B. Hughes
with her two little sons are from Hills
boro Texas.
1t is reported that ] cry Cation died at
the Soldiers Home at Columbia Falls,
a few days ago. Mr.. Cation spent the
winter at the Home and came back to
Birch creek last spring but his health
was SO poor that he was forced to return
in order to receive hospital treatment.
The Fourth of July celebration was a
disappointment on ~accounto Of the high
wind which prevailed all day and pre-
vented the out of door sports that had
been arranged. The ballin the evening
was attended by about rs couples who
enjoyed themselves until day break.
George Morgan has nearly recovered
from the wound which he received re-
Gently by the accidental discharge of his
six shooter. The ball traversed the
feshy part of his thigh underneath the
skin for a distance of - inches but
strange to say he suffered but very little
pain and has attended to his usual
duties.
Henry W. Main, of Main, Mont, was
in town the fore part of the week. Henry
is postmaster, landlord, liveryman and
; U. S. commissioner at Main; the fact is,
he is the whole thing up ~there-high,
low, Jack and the game as it we're
Flathead Herald Journal. And they
say he thinks he can play the hand.
I A petition is being CT .culated for the
: pardon of Cuthbert McGillis, who was
convicted last spring with "Joe. Bush"
I and Dan McGillis of killing a calf be-
longing to Shields & Clack. 1t is an act
of mercy to pardon the old man who is
about 80 years of age, and his conviction
: was decided upon by the jury under the
mistaken idea that if they found him
not guilty they must bring in the same
! verdict against the others. AS it is, the
: term of two years for Joe and Dan would
! have been much longer but for the mis-
s take of the jury.
! John A. Woodson, who is interested in
a large group of copper mines in the
coded strip of the Blackfoot reservation
g in Flathead county, arrived Friday last
e Things in this camp have been moving
rather slow since the death of A. M
Estler, who was building a concentratol
e there. Mr.. Woodson has by a dint Of
energy and perseverance, secured a re-
Y organization of the company, gotten it
O on it's feet and work on the mines is
again in progress and will probubly pro
coed uninterruptedly from this ii me I'M.
+ til a practical test of the property is had
q The lead is forty feet in width and ii
! traceable for fourteen miles. 1t is bein.
. developed by a tunnel that will wher
under the arex of the mountain be 300
4 feet from the surface. Should it be pos
sible to concentrate and work this pro
\ perty at a profit it will no doubt become
