Prospects Frightening.

A special Board of Trade meet
ing was held Tuesday evening at
which the annual election was
held resulting in electing w. G..
Nichols, president; A. H. Brooke,
Secretary; Ferdie Rempel, treas
urer.
Mr.. Nichols, as manager of the
Kerlin Bros. Brick Plant, made
the proposition that his company
would furnish 81, 1000, if the Board
OF Trade would give 81, 900, and a
gas or oil test-well would be put
down on the brick plant lands, the
contributors to own half interest
in the output of the well. The
proposition was accepted and a
committee appointed to wait upon
the business men and secure con-
tributions. AS we go to press we
learn that the committee started
out this morning and have raised
almost the entire amount, and the

A Rebuke.

The Democratic victories all over
Ohio and other states is an un-
mistakable rebuke to the admins

of business affairs in this country.
Here in Logan the rebuke was
to the gang rule and dirty politics
in the Republican party here.

FRIDAY. APRIL u, 1901.
ENFORCING THE GAMBLING OR.
DlNANCE.

Kalispell has fallen into line with
the very few communities of the state
which have concluded to comply with
and enforce the gambling laws. With
greater consideration than is usually
accorded offenders against the laws
the authorities have particularly and
personally notified the proprietors Of
gambling games and gambling houses
that the law would be put into full
force and effect after p. m. this even
ing, and that all persons discovered in
fringing on the city ordinance after
that time would be promptly arrested
The slot machines must take them
medicine also, and there is a well-de
fined rumOr that wherever they are al
lowed to run penalty of 500 for
each offense may be expected. The
slot machines will certainly go out Of
business as there is no chance Of pro
prietors playing out even on the earn
ings of these Unsuitable monsters.
Proprietors Of the larger gamblin
houses evince an inclination to take a
chance on the law for a time, and
their utter and final disposition de
ponds practically upon the extent and
frequency OF the fines imposed. At
any rate, the officials seem disposed to
enforce the law as they know it and
the result will be observed with in.
terest in this community. The en-
forcement Of the law is accepted wi
the League, as a distinct victory fosI
the sentiment they were Instrumental
in provoking.
But to less jrejudiced people it will
appear that the law now being rea
sonable it is only just to presum
that it will be enforced. 1t was un
reasonable to expect the enforcement
of the old law, but there can be mol
such consideration urged against tho
present law.
Acquaintance with the ultra provis
ions OF the old law, making even a
participant in a gambling game fel
on. effectually barred any attempt at
enforcement. This city council and
officials have always been prepared
to meet the public requirements, when
ever there was an equal show
their acts being endorsed, but no jury
in the state of Montana, under the old
law, had been found sufficiently bigot
ed to convict a gambler or a gambling
man. Things are different now, and
the authorities have no fear of their
official acts being reversed.

That snare and delusion, the nick
el-in-the-slot machine, so temptingly
displayed in many saloons and cigar
stores in Kalispell, has been cased in
mourning bands for the time being.
Yesterday owners of the same were
quietly asked to blow" them, as one
polite Official put it, and they are to
all intents, for the present at least
very much "blOwed."

The example set by Maryland in
DISTINGUISHING illiterate voters is one
that could be profitably followed by
many other states. In the north
west we have very little occasion to
wish to enforce such a law, as Tilt
eracy is not prevalent to any extent.
Residents of this section buy more
and read more newspapers and period
icals than any other quarter of the
country and what they read they also
understand.

NEW ALASKA FLEET.
This Year Will See Many New Craft

Out,
| News has been received in Seattle
that the already large fleet of Alaskan
steamers plying between Seattle and
the north is soon to receive a substan-
tial increase. The new steamer, the
Spokane, built for the Pacific Coast
Steamship company, has just had its
trial trip in San Francisco, and will
soon be in commission. The Risdon
Iron & Shipbuilding Works will have
three more ships built and in COM

fore another year. This company has
built one vessel for the salmon trade
and the keel is laid for steel traw-
Ter, which will, when completed, Gre
ate considerable stir in the North
Pacific fishing waters. The COM
pany has also secured the contract for
a passenger steamer to be operated
by the Pacific Coast Steamship COM
pany. This vessel will be modern IN
every detail. She will be POS feet
in length over all and 1914 feet inches
between perpendiculars. She will be
81 feet 8 inches beam and 16 feet deep.
She will be fitted with triple expansion
engines, the high. intermediate and
low pressure cylinders being respec-
lively Is IL inches, 26 IL inches and
As inches, with 33-inch stroke. She
will have Scotch boilers and forced
draught.
This is the first boat of this size
to be built at these yards, and the
builders are sparing no pains with
the construction. 1t is expected
that the new boat will be completed
about January, 1902, and will be in
commission a month later.
The steel trawler will be something
of an innovation in the fishing bust
ness on this coast. She is being
built for l.. D. Baker of Boston. the
banana king" Mr.. Baker has plac.
ed practically no limit on her cost, as
he wants the best and fastest in the
business. Her contract calls for IL

that she will make II knots easily.
