SUSlIS CUESlS.
Do you think you can keep secret
And never tell any one?
Not any person, least Susie Mcpherson
OF people under the sun?
Have you noticed her curls,
So envied by all Of us girls?
When she goes to bed you should just see her
OF course you won't tell it for worlds!

THE NOVEMBER RAINDROP.
little Raindrop wept to
The earth 50 dry and brown
And then he said, most mournfully, =
Dear Cloud, shall go down?"
Yet what's the useI not bring
The green that's gone away;
While others sing I've poured and poured
-. This livelong autumn day! -
What shall I do. what do, -
= To make all bright again?
The spring has gone, and summer, too,
Altho rain and rain'
The Raindrop wept pteously,
The Cloud spoke soft and low:
20 come dear Raindrop with me,
I'll tell you where to go!'
Then up they went into the sky,
Past other Clouds they sped ss
And up they went and, oh, high,
And up the Cloud still led!
At last the Raindrop wept no more,
His heart was very light;
And he had changed his dress Of yore
From homely gray to white.
90 Cloud, dear Cloud thank you SOL"
That little Snowflake said;
And all the world bright with snow
And all the brown had fed!
e1-. Little Folks.

Somers News.

Mr. O'Brien has returned from his
kota.
There is to be an excursion down
the lake Sunday given by the Wood
men and the band. They should have
waited until THE following Sunday, for
they would have much larger
crowd, as there is to bic a game of
ball next Sunday with the Kalispell
Blues, which will keep great many at
home who would otherwise have gone
down the lake.
There seems to be no end to Gu
pid's doings in our little village. The
last two parties he has been able to
make happy was Miss Martha Heron
and Sol Johnson. They were married
Saturday at l{alispell and went to
houseik eeping once in the cottage
formerly occupied by Mrs. Phoebe
Wiley. They have a host of friends
who join in wishing them the mos
pleasant journey upon the sea of
matrimony.
The Kalispell small boys came
down Sunday, and crossed bats with
cur little boys. both sides put up a
good game. for little fellows, the
score was "a to II in favor of Som
ers.

AT the meeting Of the city council
held last night a communication was
received from the Kalispell Townsite
company, Offering to donate a tract
OF land lying in the bottom east Of
,he city for park purposes. The land
in question lies east of Woodland ave
nue on the north side of the main
road, and contains about 26 acres. 1t
has long been looked upon as an ex-
cellent location for a city park, and
at different times attempts have been
made to secure it from the townsite
company, but without avail. Consid-
cradle work will have to be done in
draining and cutting away the rank
underbrush, but the result will more
than repay the city for the time and
money expended. Final action on the
matter was not taken by the council.
but the communication was referred
with recommendations to accept it..
The townsite company also sent to
the council the deeds to the two half
blocks on each side of the court
house, which was presented to the
city some time ago.
The tax levy for the year 1903 was
made out at the meeting, and shows
a decrease of one4half mill over last
year. AS it now stands. the levy is
as follows:
Mills
General and administrative pur-
poses ....... ...... ....... 8
Street and road purposes ...... 2
Library purposes .............. /
Last year the total was II \, mills.
The contract to do the street i'm
provement work on Fourth avenue
east from the right of way to second
street was awarded to G. B. HetZer
for 5000 c. NJ Bryant was given the
contract to do the Improvement work
on Second avenue west from Fourth
street to Ninth street on his bid of
sA.7OO.
The petitions of property owners
on Fourth avenue east. to park that
street were granted.
AS there was only one bid received
for the erection of the new city hall
and that was confined to the founda-
ton work, the matter was referred to
the fire protection committee, with
instructions to advertise for bids in
the Kalispell, Spokane and other out
side papers, to be opened at the spe-
special meeting of the council to be
held August II.
On account of the failure of some
CT the local theaters to pay their IL
cense for several months, the coun-
Gil instructed the city treasurer to col
lect the same at once.
A petition was received from resi-
dents on Third avenue east, asking
that water mains be extended three
blocks further on that avenue. The
council granted the same and the eX-
tension was ordered as petitioned for
On account of some friction be
tween members of the fire depart
ment as to who was in authority, the
council referred the matter to Mayor

GERS were read and referred to the

NATURALIZATION OUTRAGE


The abuse of the naturalization laws
has been so great in the last few years
that President Roosevelt called at
tentiOn to the subject in his annual
message to congress and Attorney Cen
eral Knox, in his annual report, rec
commended to congress. the passage OF
amendments to the naturalization laws
rendering the abuse Of the present stat
utes less easy, says the Seattle Post
Intelligencer.
AS much attention as has been call
ed to this subject in the past year has
not been effIcaciOuS in preventing a
most diSgraceful abuse of the privilege
this state. A special dispatch to this
paper from Ellensburg on December Ia
stated that fOrty-SiX foreigners APP
peared before the superior court Of Kit
titaS county on Monday last to take
out first and last papers for naturali-
Zation and then the dispatch further
says, IAN Interpreter was necessary in
nearly every case. as they could no,
understand the English languag e." Nc
man, who. after five years residence
in this country, cannot speak the lang
uage of the country is fit to become ar
American citizen. The granting of this
inestmable privilege to men who can
not speak our language and who do no,
understand our system of government,
is an unSpeakable wrong to the body
polite.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1903-12-19
AN APPROACHING DEFICIT.

The striking feature of Secretary
ShaW's report is it's evidence of gross
extravaganza in the conduct of the
government. It shows that, while the
receipts increased about $10,000,O0O
over the previous year, expenditures
increased about $47,000000. But that
is the smallest part of the showing.
Despite the fact just cited, there was
a surplus for the year of over $54 ,000,-
900 whereas for the next few years it
is extremely likely that the balance will
be on the wrong side of the ledger. To
be sure. a surplus of S140O0,O0O is
figured for 1904: but we have to COM
pare this with the estimate of nearly
$50. 600. 900 for that period which Sec
rotary Shaw presented a year ago.
lures maintain the same relation for
the remainder of the present fiscal year
that has been witnessed SO far, the sec
retary's $14,000,000 surplus will "f1it
like a ghost away" When he comes
to his 1905 estimates, the secretary
frankly admits a deficit of $23,000,000.
This is. of course, a purely arbitrary
figure; the real shortage will as likely
as not greatly exceed this sum. 1t
may be tOlerably easy to calculate ex-
penditures two years ahead, but under
our revenue laws the secretary of the
treasury is all at sea when he comes
to fOrecaSting his receipts.

THE LATEST DISCOVERIES.

Wonders never cease. The pension
bureau has discovered a widow who
Voluntarily discontinued her pension
and a professor of Princeton university
has found that radium may be ex-
tracted from carnolite, an ore plenti-
full in Utah.
Grouping these two facts together
may seem unscientific. 1t must be ad-
mitted that they are not precisely of
the same class Their bearing upon
each other rests upon the foundation
that they are the most striking new
facts which have been added recently
to the store of human knowledge and
experience
In the list of nearly every mans ac-
Quaintance is some old codger who has
accumulated plenty of this world 6
goods, but who is credibly reported to
be drawing a pension on the score OF
having been drummer boy, high pri-
vate or something in the civil war.
He may have, as the phrase is "".only
smeIt the battle from affair." but he
deems that that entitdes him to lifelong
pay.
Widows. moreover, have exhibited
a remarkable fOndness for pensions.
With them It has not always been a
matter of urgently needing the money,
but rather the undoubtedly sane con-
viCtion that it comes in handy Mrs.
Josephine f. Henry of Boston is the
lady who writes to the pension COM
missioner, stating that she has in
herited a competence, and feels that
it would not be right to continue a
beneficiary of the government.
The dump heaps of an Austrian mine
have been said to be the sole source of
radium. With that commodity at
$3.50 900 an ounce, Austria promptly
placed high premium on the said
dump 1t was not to be expected
that the United States could be very
long kept out Of a market so enticing.
But that the news should come so
soon, telling of limitless radium all
our own, is most surprising. The eagle
again screams and is ready to pay pen
sions even to widows who would rather
not have them.

SUBJECT TO REVISION

1t is hardly likely that the commit
tee appointed to investigate the water
Question on behalf of the Commercial
Club will report in favor of buying
half the Thomas ranch for $4,000 for
the accommodation of the First Ma
tional Bank, which is the real owner
of the land. but if such a report should
be made it viii be subject to revision
or annument by the club as a whole,
every member being given the right to
express his views and to vote on the
adoption or rejection of the report.
The Statesman still believes that the
city's $4,000 water right on the
Thomas ranch gives it all the authority
it needs for making use of all or any
part of the SubterTanean flow OF wa
ter on the entire farm of about ESQ
acres and that there IS no necessity
whatever for the purchase of any land,
except a few acres for reservoir pur-
poses In a pinch the city could get
along Without> any land there, building
its reservoirs elsewhere.
1t is not necessary to own the land
in order to prevent the contamination
of the water supply. The common law,
the state law and the rights of the
city under its deed to the subterran-
can water will give ample protection
against any possible attempt to pollute
the water that may be developed there.
1t is expected that the committee of
the Commercial Club in conjunction
with the water committee of the cOun-
Gil will investigate thoroughly the diff
ferent plans of developing an adequate
supply of water that have been sug-
gested and report in favor of the plan
that seems most feasible. The bust
ness men generally are opposed to the
abandonment of the city's $250,000 sys-
TEN now in use and still unpaid for
and they are favorable to the plan of
Councilman GlaSford to supplement
the present system by making use of
the flow of water already developed at
Thomas springs. This plan proposes
to use the present system for all the
residence portions of the city west of
Howard street and to use the gravity
system for the business district and
the residence districts east of Howard
street. The pumping station in Isaacs
addition can be continued until a flow
of water shall be developed on the
Thomas ranch that will make it's fur
Their use unnecessary.
BY following this plan the city will
save its $4,000 investment on which
it still owes about $225,000. and at the
same time save thousands of dollars in
the cost of new pipe that would be
needed if the gravity system We're ex-
tended to the entire city at once. 1t is
estimated that the Glasford 2 plan
would not cost the city more than
100000. 1t is doubtful if bonds to a
greater amount could be issued, as
they must be based upon the increased
revenues expected to be derived from,
an increased consumption. The city
has already reached the limit OF its in
debtedness based on direct taxation
and bonds can be issued only against
the revenues of the water system

men and the public by giving them
employment at fair wages cleaning the
deep mud off the crosswalks, which
are now in an eXecrable condition
Thus these men would be given an op-
portunity to earn a few Christmas
comforts for their families and the
streets would be made passable. The
nresent condition of the crosswalks is
q diSgrace to the city.
