The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1902-11-25

A franchise for an electric railway
from Duncan's addition to the court
house, thence west to the high
school, north to the fair grounds, is
attracting the attention of some of
the wise ones in business circles.
This may seem to be anticipating
events, but there will be a real neces-
sity for such line within the next
year perhaps, and the superabundance
of power generated by the Big Fork
plant would insure economical opera
ton of such a line. The travel over
it would be considerable, even in the
summer time.

4 RAILROAD COMMISSION.

Will some aspiring statesman-elect
win fame and honor to himself by in
Producing and pushing through a
railroad commission bill? The objec-
ton of expense cannot be urged
against such a bill, for the expenses
of the commission should be met by
a tax upon the railways. Montana
is one of the few states in the union
without such a commission and since
the practical consolidation of all the
roads within her borders such COM
mission becomes an absolute neces-
sity. In the state of Washington the
creation of such a commission was
an issue in the campaign, and prac-
tically all of the Legislators of that
state are pledged to the support of
such a measure. The railroads of
course, are fighting it with barrels
of money and a powerful lobby, and
this is one Of the strongest arguments
in favor of the measure Highway
robbery is a virtue when compared
to the many acts of extortion prac-
ticed by the railroads in this state.
With but two or three exceptions, it
costs more to ship goods of any kind
from Kalispell to Butte or vice versa
than it does to ship the same goods
across the continent from New York
to Seattle. The producers are robbed
both going and coming, for the goods
they consume are taxed to the limit
for freight. while all of the profits
on their products are taken by the
railroads. The bill should provide
for the election of the members of
the commission by the people, and
while there is but little hope that
such bill could be passed it's intro
duction and vigorous fight for it's
passage would serve to awaken the
people to the evils from which they
suffer and would help to arouse pub
lie sentiment, which will finally force
the passage of such measure

A PROSPEROUS PLACE.

Not vacant house can be found
in Columbia Falls. and that beautiful
little city appears to be more pros
porous than ever before. With the
building of the cutoff to the Jennings
branch the town will no doubt exper-
fence genuine boom, and why not?
Surrounded by rich and prosperous
valley, with millions of saw timber
as yet untouched, not another town
in the state can show better re-
sources than Columbia Falls.
The building of the new cutoff will
not only benefit the town, while the
construction is under way, but it is
more than likely that Columbia Falls
will be a division point for all of the
traffic upon the new road, and here's
hoping that she may grow and pros
per as never before.

The advent of MT Schirmer, repre-
sentng the Peplow Milling company
Of Seattle, into the local wheat mar
ket serves to illustrate the beauties
of competition. Since his arrival,
wheat that was before bringing S5
cents per bushel is now selling for
S. cents, an advance of over 40 per
cent Everybody will be glad to see
the farmers get the benefit of this
raise, for what helps the farmer
helps everybody else; but the con-
sumer is still at the mercy of the
local milling company. for with the
raise in wheat, the price of flour has
been put up, and owing 20 the freight
Mr. Schirmer cannot compete in the
selling of -four However, he has
rented the elevator belonging to the
Missoula Mercantile company and
will be in the market for the purchase
of wheat for some time to come,
which will be good news to the farm
ers of the valley.

A COMMENDABLE SUGGESTION

A Montana farmer suggests that
the appropriation for the st. Louis
worlds fair made by the state be di-
vided pro rata among the counties,
all to be under one general manage
ment. The idea he advances is that
instead of a general display each
county should be represented in a
separate exhibit, particularly the
agricultural counties of the state. He
argues that while the ordinary
method of calling attention to the re-
sources and possibilities of the state
may be resultant of good in a general
way it will be too diffusive to be ap-
preciable. If possible, he thinks the
amount that it is decided to appro-
pirate for an exhibit should be di-
vided among the various counties,
each of which could then make a dis
play particularly illustrative of it's re-
sources. Several counties with a
ccmmonality of interests might COM
bine and make one comprehensive
and elaborate exhibit calculated to
show wherein they excel and that ap.
peal directly to the intending emf
grant and land buyer.
The value of such exhibits no doubt
appeal to all who give the matter as
much as passing attention, but as to
their feasibility there may be much
and reasonable doubt. Too much
space would probably be required tc
accommodate all the counties desir
Gus of showing off" while the feal
that the money apportioned to some
might not be wisely or effectively ex
pended would probably also detel
some from giving their support tt
the idea. But if it could be done /
would be something new in the wa.
of exhibits and would be bound to at
tract attention as no other means o
exhibiting the states resources ant
advertising it's advantages could o
would.

.sThe arrival of the first direct over
land mail by stage at st. Louis from
San Francisco in 1858 was regarded
bv President Buchanan as a "glori-
Gus triumph for civilization and the
union Railroads aggregating $1,000
miles have taken the place of the
stage in the west.
Lewis and Clark faced starvation
when they were camped at the mouth
of the Columbia river in the winter of
1866. The state of Oregon now has
4,500,000 domestic cattle and produces
annually over 100000 bushels OF
grain.
I'm 1850 there were less than 2,O00,-
600 in the west. There are now over
21,000,O 900 The west has more peo-
pie than the entire united States had
in 1885,"
AS a matter of fact practically all
this growth has come in so years,
and much the greater part of it with
in the past 20 years. Fifty years ago
Minnesota had only 5000 population,
st. Paul 1000, and Dakota, Montana
Idaho and Washington were wild
region, having combined population
of few hundreds. Now this region
supports several transcontinental rail-
roads, and the fact is impressive that
two of these roads, the Northern Pa
cific" and the Great Northern, having
for one terminus the town which had
but 1000 people so years ago, and for
their western terminals places that
were not then in existence, earned
last year the gigantic sum of eighty
millions of dollars, or nearly as much
as the entire foreign trade of the
United States-combined exports and
imports-in the year that Lewis and
Clark came to the Pacific northwest.

The First Dinner.

Hospitality is favorite virtue, and
the newly married wife is wont to
be much elated when she sends out
the invitations for her first real din
ner of her own, Still. a certain ele-
ment of discomfort mikes with her
elation, no matter how well used she
may have been in her girlhood to din
ners of all kinds. 1t is not until one
is personally responsible that one
realizes how many are the minute
details to be considered, and how
numerous are the directions to be
given, if success is to be insured. The
broad outlines she may be absolutely
familiar with, and have a pretty fair
general acquaintance with the mys-
teries of table laying, and the intrica-
cies of a nicely considered menu; but
given a young and fairly inexperienc-
ed parlor maid, and the newly Install
ed mistress begins to indorse the
wisdom of the sage who pronounced
that one child or ignorant person
could ask in five minutes more than
ten wise men could answer.
