FLATHEAD COUNTY, MONTANA
From the Standpoint of Health and
OeSrabIeneSS.

AS may be inferred from the Spe-
cial article on meteorological matters
we have, in Flathead county, a fine
outdoor climate; and the other feat
ures of weather and season are such
that the health conditions are eXcep-
tionally favorable.
The normal summer weather from
June till October leaves, on the aver
age, nothing to be desired. The tenn
perature in summer rarely reaches
an extreme OF heat and the nights
are invariably cool. due to the alti-
tude and proximity to the mountains.
AS a result hot weather diseases are
neither prevalent nor OF marked Sc
verify. Summer diarrhoea in children
in some years is seen hardly at all,
is almost never Widespread and, in
type is, on the average mild; the dis
ease has never assumed the intensity
seen during the hot weather of many
districts of the eastern and middle
states.
Take the year around people who
come here with rheumatism do as
we'll as anywhere except in the still
milder southern climates: the same
may be said of those who come with
| already developed tuberculosis eX-
copt as compared with the high, dry
attitudes of Colorado. New Mexico
and a few other We'll known localities
of deserved rcpute as resorts for con-
Sumptives. But consumption is de-
veloped in Flathead county with
marked rarity as compared with low
er. moister climates. In other words
people CT consumptive heredlty or
tendency. but in whom the disease
has not developed, may come with
high hopes Of Improvement in health
and with little fear of experiencing
a development of the disease, given
reasonable care on their part.
Epidemic diseases show no ten
tendency to become unduly prevalent
or severe AT this date, September
1908, the writer knows of no diphthe
ria scarlet fever, measles or small
pox in the county and there are but
few eases of typhoid fever.
The cold in winter seldom becomes
severe and never for prolonged
period The amount. OF respiratory
ailments is not excessive and OF the
list pneumonia alone shows an!
marked severity.

of the county and is unknown IN the
central and northern parts.
We have no enervating dog days
our people are not confined to thell
houses by winter billiards. or wlnte

Our climate is invigorating anC
health preserving for the we'll; TO
the invalid the conditions are favor
able for rapid convalescence.
A noticeable feature of our count.
is the unexcelled combination of out
ing places and outing weather. A
a result the summer holiday custom

KENTUCKY FEUDS.

The conviction of Curtis Jet of the
killing of Town Marshal Cockrill for
which crime he must answer with his
life will have a wholesome effect on
the lawless element of Kentucky and
particularly in Breathitt county. Only
nine men have been hanged in Ken
lucky in the last five years, while
during the same period over eight
hundred murders have been commit
ted. the greater portion of which
were assassinations from ambush.
The victims included men in every
walk Of life from the simple noun
taineer to the chief executive of the
state Through long immunity from
punishment the aSSaSSins had be-
come so bold that but little, if any
effort was made at cOncealment.
Men boasted Of the number they had
killed one witness testified in the
recent trial that Jet remarked, after
killing Cockril, This is the forty
fifth that I've laid low Now I'll visit
my kinfolks.'
Such total disregard of the law
and wanton spilling of human blood
in the most cowardly manner could
only result from long period of ed
ucation in such lawlesS deeds. Ig-
norance and lack of education must
be one of the causes, but the chief
cause is lax enforcement of the law.
Usually politics is at the bottom Of
the feud and the county judge and
possibly the sheriff and other Off
the other, and when this is not the
case, such officials close one eye on
such crimes, under penalty Of defeat
for reelection.
Among the people who participate
in these feuds there is maudlin
sentiment which transforms the cold
blooded assassin into hero, and not
until few such heroes have stretch.
ed hemp will that sentiment be wiped
out.
The demonstrations are confined tC
few districts in the state and the
entire people of the commonwealth
should not be held responsible fol
the murders, for in fact the convic
ton of lett must be attributed to the
condemnation which the people o
the state in general have placed upol
the feudist and his cOwardly meth

DR.. w. n. LEONARD.

Professional friends in the northwest
of William Huntingdon Leonard Of Min
neapolis will give a. dinner tomorrow
night at the Harvard Chambers in honor
of his semi-centennial in medical prac
tice. DR.. Leonard's record as a physician
is notable in that. although over rs years
of age he is still in active practice. More
than a class interest attaches to the af-
air because, owing to DR.. LeOnards
familiarity with the ways of the stork,
he was the first in early days to greet
many of the native-born Mnneapoltans.
DR.. Leonard has been a member Of the
old school and is now a homeOpath, SO
that no distinctions of school deferred
northwestern physicians as a whole from
uniting in q gift which is to be presented
to the guest of honor tomorrow night.
1t is of general interest also to know
that the doctor was a pioneer physician
of Minneapolis and a member of the first
wholesale and retail drug firm of the city.
He was for twenty-five years a. member
of the state board of health, and the first
member Of the state lunacy commission
for the inspection of state hospitals for
the insane. He was responsible more than
any one else for the establishment of
the state board of charities and as a
member of the state health board was an
examining member of the medical faculty
of the state university. DR.. Leonard was
the first health officer of the united city.
He was an organizer of the state insti-
tute of homeopathy Of which he served
three years as president He helped or
ganize the Hennepin County Medical So
cety and through his efforts also the

oldest living member of Plymouth church,
sharing the honor in length of member

Of the first deacons of that church, and
served twenty years. DR.. Leonard has
the distinction of being the only living
member of the first class initiated by

a farmer William was raised. He attend

years to obtain the means for securing
a medical education. This he got at the
University of New York and at the med
ical school Of Yale college, where he grad
uated Feb. p, 1858.
After two years practice in Orange
boyhood for the region about st. Anthony
Falls gained sway and the doctor came
west in the summer Of 1855. Early in his
career the civil war broke out. and as
a messmate of Archbishop Ireland the
doctor entered the Fifth Minnesota as
sistant surgeon. He served three years
and was mustered out as surgeon with the
title of major In 1859 he had announced
himself as a homeopathic, and as such
he again took UP local practice.
