of these earnest fellows had slipped
his lot contract into his inside pocket
he struck out along with load Of
lumber or a tent to prepare tempo

shelter and start in business on his
lot. and with few exceptions those
same earnest fellows are still in bust

AS soon as brick could be made
more substantial buildings We're
erected and every year more and
more of them, and as men p"ospered
in business they built better homes.
and their friends came from the east
and the west and the north and the
south. and seeing those earnest fell

they hurried back, sold out whatever
they had hack there, wherever 1t
was, and brought their families to
KaliSpell and some of those boys
and girls on their way to school
are their children And some of
those ranchcrs who had townsite
ranches have at last been offered
such fancy prices for them that they

they sold out and moved into kalis-
