BETTER COUNTY ROADS.

Make It Possible for Ranchers to Mar
ket Their Produce.
The county roads throughout the
county during the past month have
been in a deplorable condition, but the
recent snow storms have made them
passable and each day they are becom-
ing better adapted for heavy hauling.
The continuous travel has broken
roadways, which make it possible to
haul sleds heavily loaded with grain
and produce, and the wise farmer is
taking advantage of that fact.
All day Sunday sled load after sled
load of grain passed through the city
to the elevators and the number of
bushels of wheat and oats marketed
will run into the thousands.

HOW THEY MAKE
GOOD FLOUR,
The Best Wheat and Modern
Appliances
ARE WHAT COUNT.
A Bee Representative Learns Something
About the Milling Business
In Kalispell.
ARE WHAT COUNT.

The stranger in kalispell seeking
the enterprises that contribute to the
welfare of the city and county would
find here a milling plant and elevator,
which is as complete as is possessed
by any city of it's size in the west.
Reference is made to the Kalispeil
Roller Mills, owned by C. A. Peplow
& Co. While not an expert in MA
chinery the Bees representative, who
was piloted through the immense
plant by Mr.. Peplow, is nevertheless
convinced that no more up-to-the
times plant can be found anywhere
Mark Twain has noticed in his tray
els a place where you can see log
of wood go into the ground floor Of IL
building and almost Immediately come
out at the top made into a bedroom
suit. It's not exactly similar case
but it's just as businesslike at the
mill mentioned.
| AS Mr.. Peplow says, it was mighty
hard to lose SO much money when the
elevator was burned last summer, but
best and most improved labor-savirg
devices were selected, and, as re-
suit, the plant today compares to the
disadvantage of older mills much the
same as the stage coach does to the
trolley car.
The proposition to handle the OUT
put Of the mill, which is one hundred
and eighty barrels daily, has been re-
duced to a minimum of labor and the
saving in handling wheat commences
at the instant the wheat has been
weighed in the farmers wagon. \
lever is pulled, the wagon tips back
ward trifie, the end gate is slipped
and the wheat streams through into
a chute which has opened automati-
clly. At the bottom of this chute an
immense belt carries the wheat into
the mil where it is cleaned of all chaff
and dirt by immense fans and made
ready fer the process of grinding.
Flour was seen in the various stages
of the grinding until it is sacked from
pipe that does the sacking, cutting
off the supply automatically when it
is of the required weight The mill
man verities the weight on special
-four scales and SeWS up the sack,
dumps il on a truck which another
man wheels into a car on the track
and in short time car load is ready
for shipment to Spokane or some
other point, where the brand of Prin-
cess flour is able to command better
prices than any flour on the market,
because, to quote Mr.. Peplow: cts
hard winter wheat and a finer quail
.ity of flour than the other people
make. We don't try to compete in
price, we don't have to.
This elevator is remarkably free
from dirt and dust, and it is the neat
est and cleanest imaginable. 1t shows
management of the best sort, the
kind that saves work and gives the
best and cleanest product. From the
time The wheat is unloaded it is never
touched by hand except when the
sack is tied. That's labor saving ma
chinery. AS for the business of c..
A. Peplow & Co., it is increasing rap
idly, as it deserves. A visit to the
plant is pleasure, very interesting,
and if one has the chance to see it,
he should take advantage of the oppor.

The county commissioners were in
session all day yesterday checking up
the business, transacted since the last

idly, and most of the labors, in that
direction, have been completed.
The transfers of offices from the old
to the new were made with but little
public show. and were it not for the

changes.
In the office of the clerk and record

WRECK NEAR JENNINGS.

Several Cars Ditched-No One In
jured-Two Freight Trains.
The first wreck of the new year on
the Kalispell division of the Great
Northern, occurred Friday night near
Jennings, when No. 10 and No. Is,
two freight trains, had rear end
collision, No. 10 striking No. Is from
the rear.
Several cars were ditched or de-
molished, but fortunately no one was
injured. This is the first trouble on
the Great Northern during the past
six weeks, which could be considered
a wreck.

OF COURSE, she had to let him go

Siboney to Santiago, because of a low
ers' quarrel. And now, heavy-eyed,
weary of waiting, she was on the ugly
beach Of Montauk Point, waiting for

go to the hospital, part to find bleak
graves in the sands.

that. He and his companion rough rid

Hutchins, of Roosevelt's command, had
answered:
"Oh, yes, ma'am, Hutchins is on
board. If you don't know him when he

you'll meet Hutchins."

And you sat over there alone,
And ! sat smiling here.
A year or two flew past and you
No longer sat alone:
A little one was in your arms,
Your darling and my own.

And some one else was there,
And Willie sat near me, you know,
While Trottie claimed your care.

A row of hungry little ones
All gazing up at me-
We've added leaves, one after one.

Sunday came to Camp Wikoff. The
colonel gave word to his rough riders
that he would pay his farewell re-
spects to them that afternoon. The
time came and the event was a sermon
from the lips of the man who had led
them in battle. The men were grouped
on the sand dune caps of the camp. A
pitiless sun beat down on the tents.
In the distance the national colors
hung heavy at Gen. Wheeler's cad

No altar was there save Gods earth
and the crown Of His heavens. The
choir was these young boys and old
men gathered from all parts of the

from the Atlantic seaboard. Most of
them possessed blue eyes. Their faces
were beardless.
