FROM ESSEX BY BOAT.
Thrilling Experience of Two Venture
some Fishermen,

James Paul has returned from a
months fishing trip to Essex and
vicinity and reports having had the
time of his life. From Essex he de-
seconded the Flathead river in boat
and landed Sunday evening at the
steel bridge without a serious acct
dent of any kind to mar the pleasure
of the trip. He was accompanied on
his trips about Essex by Mig" Powell
who, he states, was most enjoyable
companion, except at times when he
made frantic attempts to climb trees
after his fish hook, which had been
lodged near the top. At those times
Jim would cross the river to escape
the torrents of cuss words and rocks
that Powell would hurl promiscuously
at everything and anything near by.
AS a boon companion on a fishing trip
Powell is all right, but when he comes
to do the bear act in climbing trees
he will have to take a seat in the
rear.
The new addition to Essex, as
Jesse, Beckwith calls his new house
was just completed about the time
of PauPs arrival, and it was properly
dedicated in approved mountain style
Beckwith's hospitality is proverbial
and the lone fisherman who comes to
his place is sure of the best there is
On the long trip by boat down the
rapid waters of the Flathead Paul
was accompanied by Claude Porter
and with the exception of a couple OF
times when the boat was upset, al
went well. At one time when thrown
rudely into the torrent, Porter thrash
ed the waters and shouted for helI
and gave every indication of a mar
being drowned. In fact he thought
that would be his fate, until he
thought of letting down to see how
deep the water was. When he found
it was only a few feet deep and he
could easily walk to shore, the silence
he maintained was more eloquen
than words.
Hundreds of fish were caught OF
the trip, especially at Lake Stanton
where it is claimed the finny tribe
are in greater numbers than evel
before.

Among the noxious weeds propa-

Master Sam Lowe mad noticed a
doe and two fawns near the house
several time and thought it would be
fine sport to catch a fawn and tame

fawns tangled in a brush heap. The
boy managed to get a grasp on the
deer and then there was a rough and
tumble scrap that surprised the lad.

pender buttons.

Thought it Was Collins.

A couple of amateur detectives
started out last night to arrest a man
supposed to be r. f. Collins, for
whom there is 500 reward offered by
the sheriff of Flathead county. Arm
ed with an arsenal which would make
Tracy weaken, the detective force
started out and soon had their man
located in the railroad yards seated
along side of the track. He was ques-
toned as to his identity and even his
teeth examined. After satisfying
themselves of their mistake, the
would-be detectives offered apologies
and were heard to remark: "Well,
that's easy; l wish Tracy would hap

Dutch Picnic Day.

The finesse required to lead the
German will not go a long way at the
Dutch picnic, which, is billed large
and small to take place at .Anderson's
grove Sunday next. At schutzenfest,
sangerfest or any other old fest, the
Germans take the cake, only the cake
they most delight in is a pretzel and
beer for a chaser. Ever since the
rainy spell in July, Pete Harting has
been exporting on the weather and
the prevalence of mosquitoes to estab-
fish date for the Dutch picnic. The
time selected is now near at hand
and if it should happen to be rainy
on that date, woe be to the commit
tee; but there seems every likeli-
hood of their foresight having been
excellent, judging from prevalent con-
dltions. The pavilion will be raised
tomorrow for the grand dancing
bout, and the greasy pig and the
greasy pole will be rubbed up so
that the fun may be all the merrier.
Make no other dates for Sunday, it
is Dutch picnic day.

on muslin (siIk and cotton, silks and
other fabrics.
Something of the prevailing pretty
and picturesque effect may be gathered
from the gown of the first cut, satin
fou!ard in a delicate shell pink shade
trimmed with white guipure, with
friils and pouch front in white silk
muslin. The fronts of the skirt tunic
are stitched over the narrow tablier
from the waist nearly to the knee and
thence left free. The picture hat in
pink crinoline straw, artisticaly bent,
is set off with black velvet ribbon and
jeweled clasps. while a black amazon
feather curls over the brim and pi-
quet of tips droops toward the neck.
The toque is an Easter confection of
green gauze and white chiffon. Four
graduated crosses, gold and pearls, nes-

snail stud secures a slanting emerald

In skirts there is an introduction of
q novelty, although the long lines and
graceful curves of the figure remain a
distinct feature in the new models
The new Paris skirt is composed of
three pieces of material; the upper por-
ton, fitting perfectly to the figure,
widens only slightly over the second
and is again repeated at the base. On
some examples it forms three plaits on
either side. This is effective and shows
new point, but would not be becom-
ing to all figures; consequently the long
plain skirt having bias is also to the

The Dainty Womau.

1t seems that daintiness is now much
to the fore in feminine fashions. 1t is
therefore pleasing to be informed that
daintiness is an attribute seldom in
born, but the result of culture Dainti-
ness is that undefinable quality in
girl which causes her to appear more
charming in her young, sweet fresh
ness and tldiness than those around
her. Not many women show their tidi-
ness in all the little details of dress,
but it is pleasure to meet the girl or
woman who is ''well groomed" Such
a girl is the picture of delicate finish
and wholesome order

SEVERE LOSS
AT RANCH FIRE
Joe GangneF's Hay Stores, Grain and
Machinery Destroyed.
AT THE HALF MOON FARM
The Fire Was Communicated From
Smouldering Sawdust Pile, Famed
Into a Blaze by the Heavy Wind
No Water Handy and No Insurance.

The ranch of Joe Gangner, in the
Half Moon District, spout three miles
from Columbia Falls, was visited by
a most destructive fire Friday night,
entailing loss of about $4,000.
There being no means at hand to
check the flames in a short time the
farm buildings and contents were
burned to ashes. The following were
completely destroyed: One large hay
shed, containing about 125 tons of
hay; granary and several hundred
bushels of grain, one threshing ma
chine and engine, one self binder,
one mower, one new hay rake, eight
logging sleds, eight sets of harness,
and a wagon shed, as we'll as several
other small buildings. There was
not cent of insurance, and the loss
is total
The fire is supposed to have started
from burning sawdust pile that was
in the near vicinity. There was form
erly sawmill nearby and the piles
of sawdusS had been smouldering for
over year. Friday evening the wind
blew heavily from the piles of saw
dust directly toward the hay she'd
and the flames were soon communf-
Gated to it, and when once wrapped
it was impossible to save it or any
of the other buildings. Mr.. Gangner
was not present at the time, having
left there about half an hour before
The men employed on the ranch did
all that was possible to subdue the
flames, but with little success. Mr.
Gangner is in business in this city
and makes his home here.
The hay had all been practically
disposed of, with the exception that
the purchase price had not been paid,
and two cars had been left on the
side track nearby in readiness for
shipment.

Editor Bee: We wish to heartily
indorse the action of Mayor Logan in
his effort to do away with the filth
splitting of tobacco on sidewalks,
which makes them unfit for the pub
lie to travel on. We are very sorry
that any of our city fathers think the
city is too small for such an ordi-
nance. Surely the health and morals
of the people are just as necessary in
a small place as in large place. We
extend thanks TO Aldermen Listle and

Suffrage Club Formed.

AS a result of the two lectures
given by Miss Gail Lauglin at Kalis-
pell last week, a universal suffrage
club has been formed, consisting of
a charter membership of 80, men and
women. Of the new organization, DR..
Rosencrans is president, Mrs. A. J.
Edwards treasurer, and Jacob Bill
ings recording secretary. Meetings
are to be held the second Monday of
each month"; last night being the first
regular convention of the club. Out
side of Butte and Helena the Kalis-
pell club starts with the largest mem
bership and the roll is expected to
rapidly increase. At present the OBJ
ject is to cultivate the sentiment for
woman suffrage so that the legisla-
tors from this county may be inf1u-
enced to vote for suffrage resolu-
ton, this, when passed by the re-
quired two-thirds majority to be sub
mited to the people at the general
election in 1904.
Miss Laughlin spoke to a rather
small audience Friday night, there
being counter attraction in the city,
but Saturday night there was a good
turnout, and the brilliant lecturer
made very interesting and convinc-
ing argument. She was to speak at
Libby last night, and goes from there
to Havre, where she will make a talk
tomorrow night.

CLOSING SESSIONS.

The campfire held by the Washing
ton County Veterans Association at
Dewey park on Wednesday evening
was very pleasant affair. During
the day over 1875 veterans registered
at the park and with their friends,
attended the campfire in the evening,
making a record breaker in point of
attendance in the history of the as
sociation's gathering.
Hon. H. a. Huse and Hon. j. A.
DeBoer of this city were the speakers
of the evening and their remarks were
of a historical character interviewer
with anecdotes of the Civil War, so
dear to the hearts of the old soldiers.
Several comrades present made remin-
iscent remarks and music was provid-
ed by the chorus singing old wars
songs, and selections by an impromptu
male quartette made up of Comrades
Foster, Hutchinson, Stockwell and
Nailor. The campfire was warm but
the weather was chilly and the as.
sembly broke up about nine o'clock

ROUSING RALLY.

Morrisvile, Aug. 20,-The most not
able political gathering ever held in
Lamoille county occurred in this town
Tuesday. The crowd was variously es-
timated at from 5000 to 1000 people.
The rally was held on the camp ground of
the St. Adams NJ. E. district.
A feature which added much to the oc-
cason was the presence of Leslie NJ Shaw.
During the forenoon he drove about the
place, holding receptions here and there
with old friends. The business places
were literally decorated with flags and
bunting in his honor.
Many of the invited guests were late ar
irving, General Mccullough driving here
from Newport, and DR.. W. Seward Webb
came by special train from Portland, Me,
F. c. Archibald of Manchester, Sec'y
Shaw, General Mccullough and other
representative Republicans addressed the
gathering.

AT THE SEMINARY.

The enrolment is larger than a year
ago at this time 1t is noted that there is
n larger number of self boarders than for
merly, and not quite so many in the
boarding house.
Through the contribution of Rev. DR.. T..
p. Frost the alumni library has been fur
bished up and made very attractive
place. DR.. Frost, while resident of the
State, did much to supply the library with
good books and other reading matter. and
his contribution now for rendering the
place itself attractive Is graceful act
by one of the Seminary's devoted friends.
If, now, some rich alumnus, or associa-
ton of alumni, would provide the funds
for an astronomical observatory, and
equip It with a good telescope and the
other accessories, service of largest
value would be rendered the Seminary
and future generations of students.
