The May grand jury, after having

Two cases were ignored and one

ton is planning a branch line to tap
the lower end of the county and con
meet with the branches in Mercer

y line has been run paralleling the
river from the extreme west end to
the mouth of Rock river There two
courses were gone over. one continu-
ing up Rock river and making a con-
junction with the present line near

Two Routes Considered.
There are two routes evidently
under consideration, one tapping this
city from the west and the other
coming i'm over the present lines by
skirting to the south. Of course the
direct route would be far the more
desirab BILE. but the Peoria road has the
lower part of town tied up in such
shape that il would be a rather eX-
pensive undertaking to force an en-
trance by that means. The company
evidently desires to get into the field
ahead of any street car line, i'm which
event the latter could never be real

FOR STATE SENATOR.

The Bee had hoped that the demo
cratic convention would nominate for.
state senator a man In support Of
whom all democrats and every lover
of good government could unite but
the selection of A. J. King has dis
appointed such hopes.
Flathead county was created about
ten years ago and most of the time
since then Mr.. King has been an of
fee holder in the county. If he has
ever done anything else to earn a
livelihood the Bee is not aware of it.
Mr. Kings duties while in office
have always been well performed
but such performance does not en-
title him to a mortgage for life upon
the people of this county.
But the Bees chief objection to Mr..
King is not based upon his past
record, it has to do with his motives
in seeking the office. For weeks
past Mr. King has been working day
and night to secure the nomination,
And has he MADE so much out of the
people of Flathead county in the past
that he can afford to spend hundreds
of dollars to secure an office which
pays but $3.50 per year? or does he
expect to make money by the same
infamous methods followed by Geiger
and Carr?
The Bee has no desire to do Mr.
King an injustice, and it NAV be that
he has had some legitimate source of
revenue other than a salary from the
county, and that he can we'll afford
to spend money to secure a position
which pays but nominal salary
The columns of this paper are open
to Mr.. King, and unless his position
lis satisfactorily explained the Bee
will oppose his candidacy as the eff
fort of professional politician to
secure a place from which to plunder
the people.

THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

The county democratic convention
held on Saturday brought forth but
few, if any, surprises. The ticket
named was about what had been ex-
pected, but it cannot be said that the
handling of the convention marked
those in charge as being overbur-
dened with political acumen or fore
sight. While the burden of the
chairman'S speech was harmony. .
the harmony referred to was evident
ly of the slave and master order, for
in the appointment of committees,
the naming of delegates to the state
convention, and in the nominations
made those who were independent
democrats two years ago were re-
ligiously ignored.
In only one instance was the slate
broken, when Thomas Lee of Bad
Rock was named for county commits
sioner which action was later char
acterized by the chairman as a piece
of impudent gall on Mr. Lees part.
For the most part the ticket is com
posed of good men and it is unfortu-
nate that they are handicapped by
the domination of such politicians as
Sam Pratt, A. J. King and Tom Long
A majority of the candidates named
have been in Office before and are
well known to the public, the new
timber consisting of w. r. McKeown
for county attorney, Miss ValeAtine
for superintendent of schools, Her
man Bockman and Thomas Lee for
commissioners and Messrs Anderson,
Bailey and Thurman for the legis-
lature, all of whom deserve we'll at
the hands of the voters.

SOME FLATHEAD FACTS.
Answers Which Will Fit Many Quer
les Received About the Country.

The editor having quite frequently
of late received letters of inquiryfrom
farmers in the middle east concern
ing this section, has addressed the
following open letter to one of his
correspondents:
j. H. Stein, Hastings, Neb. Dear
Sir-In answer to your letter of 10th,
will say that the best improved farm
lands here bring from 500 to $50 per
acre. Rolling land suitable for fruit
and orchards and stump land can be
bought at from 81 to $40 per acre.
Land here does not need irrigation,
crops are reasonably sure. | have
seen twelve crops grown here, sof
which nine have been good, two have
been fair, and one was about half a
crop. New land is easily broken and
not hard to bring under cultivation,
except where it has been cleared of
stumps or brush. A combination of
grain growing and stock raising
seems to pay the best. Groceries,
clothing, farm m Ychinery, ETC., are
higher here than in Nebraska, but
not more so than farm products. Win
ters are not severe and spring usual
ly opens in March. We have what
might be termed late frosts, which
come in May and sometimes in June,
but the damage done is not usually
extensive. Poultry can be raised sue
cessfully, and both eggs and chickens
usually brig good prices. The low
lands along the streams and the
mountains and foothills are covered
with timber. while the bench lands
of the valleys support some timber,
but are mostly prairie lands. The
valley is quite we'll supplied with
schools and churches. The people
are mostly Americans, but all ma,
tionalities are quite we'll represented
in the population. The valley is well
watered with pure mountain streams.
Our worst drawbacks are lack of rail

MissouIa Socialists Adopt a Compre-
hensive Platform.

The socialists of Missoula held a
meeting at Union hall, where they
completed their formal organization
as the Missoula Socialist club. H..
H. Hazleton was elected president
and state committeeman. r. M. Or
Wis was chosen secretary. The char
ter has been received and the club
is now in full working order At the
meeting this afternoon there was a
general discussion of the principles
of socialism, and the addresses
showed a considerable difference of
opinion among the members as to
the scope of the socialistic princi
pies The following declaration of
principles, or constitution, was final
ly adopted:
1--WE demand a submission to the
people of constitutional amendment
making the eight-hour day part of
the constitution. We demand the
abolition of the road and poll taxes
of this country. as it is an attempt
of the capitalistic and middle classes
to shift the burden of taxation to the
shoulders of the workingmen We
demand the election by the people of
a mining inspector, the most import
ant Office to the men engaged in the
hazardous occupation of mining We
are in favor of equal suffrage to men
and women. We are in favor abol-
ishing the state militia, as dearly
bought experience has proved that
the militia is the tool of the capital
ist class to subjugate the workers.
We denounce the system Of repre-
sentation in our state which gives
one senator to 400 votes in Valley
county and one senator to 10000
votes in Silver Bow county as I'M
American and a violation of the ma
jority rule. We favor proportionate
representation or the entire abolition
of the upper house. We demand the
operation by the state of mines that
are now or may be hereafter sus-
pended by the endless litigation of
capitalists.
1--WE denounce the present and
past state administrations for the
sale of school lands as a deliberate
theft from the school children of the
state, and we demand the retention
of such lands by the state, leasing
them when advisable. We are un-
qualifiedly in favor of the initiative
and referendum to be submitted on
separate ballot We demand passage
of an employers liability law, max
ing the employers responsible for
damages sustained by employees while
engaged in carrying out orders of a
shift boss or other subordinate"
The Missoula club today indorsed
George B. Sproule for representative
in congress and w. d. Cameron for
associate justice. Organizer Smith is
expected in Missoula soon to add to
the membership, which is now about
25. One of the rules of the club is
that, with the exception of the char,
ter members, it is necessary for
man to be member for two years.

The democrats have named a pro-

ticket for the Office of state senator
and it seems that the republicans
will fall into the same error for it is
said that Bill Brennan is to be the
republican nominee for that office.
If this is done many votes will be

Great is the machine and powerful
slippery the slate. The convention
performed just about as the Bee
predicted, with but two slips, when
the Heinze resolution got in and
Jack Mccarthy got out.
Michel Therriault was a bigger
man than Dave Greig after the ma
chine picked him up and poor Dave
was killed in the midst of his friends
before they knew it. The scheme of
electing the country delegation first
was the blow that nearly killed
father.
Jack O'Neil has better nerve as a
wrestler than as politician. The
temper of the convention was just
about ripe for revolt from the slate
when Jack got cold feet and lost his
chance.
King said he would beat Lynch
nine to one and began gaily to tally,
but as luck would have it most of
Lynch's friendly 81 Votes came in the
lead, and Mr. King was fain to drop
the check list for a while as he re-
tired to relieve his feelings. Lynch
might have been a formidable oppo-
nent had his campaign been projected
earlier in the day.

reason to say that Kalispell hogged
all the Offices. The distribution was
pretty even and satisfactory.
Thurman of Troy, F. c. Bailey of
Holt and James Anderson of Tobacco
Plains, the legislative ticket, are all
from the outside and were not
bothered much by any contesting city
man.
Lee, of Bad Rock, was a dark horse
who had been sighted by the slate
makers but he got there just the
same.
Roll call balloting delayed the
game most unnecessarily as the dele
gates were pretty well instructed be-
fore hand how to drop their ballots.
