in thu local notes of the Bee
today may be noted resolution
adopted at last nights meeting of
the Federal Labor union, rOundly
cond inning those merchants of Kali
ispell who have decided to keep their
stores open a part of the day on the
Fourth of July. The celebration is
in the main a creation of the mer-
chants: that is. they have donated
most of the money, and for the pu1-
pose of insuring a good time as well
as of drawing trade, and disposing of
goods, wares and merchandise. AS
rule. tn country people come pre-
pared and anxious to make purchases
Of something more substantial than
confectionery and beverages: the
only lines excused by the labor union
resolution. and it is an injustice to
the visitors to close all business
houses against them. There is no
desire on the part of the merchants
to impose upon their clerks in this
particular, and the partial closing
was at the instigation of clerks
who have deeper interests in the con-
Germs than drawing their salaries.
Until the Clerks union has been
heard from. it would be well to with
hold Judgment on the employers.

A big fire will happen one of these
days and sweep kalispell, or rather
the business portion of it off the
face of the earth. The saving clause
Thursday was the perfect calm which
prevailed; with the miserable water
pressure a stiff breeze would have
made it impossible to have checked
the flames. At no time was there
sufficient force behind the water to
cause it to spray. as it left the noz-
zles. and but for the ladders the top
of the building could not have been
reached. Fire pressure. according to
the city contract is 100 pounds
Had they half of that yesterday?
The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1903-06-12

The failure of the water pressure
at the fire yesterday is matter that
should be investigated by the city
council. The rate Of taxation in Kali
spell is most burdensome and a
goodly portion of the money paid by
the taxpayers goes to the water com
pany to secure fire protection. The
best appliances handled with the ut
most care may fail at critical time
hut certain pressure maintained in
the pipes through gravity pressure
as the system here in use. should
provide an abundant source of wa
ter from which to draw. The Failure
of the pressure appears upon the
face of things to have been a gross
piece of carelessness, and the coun
Gil should ascertain the facts with
the view of preventing such occur
rences in the future.

or weekly, and the fears of some
country publishers that the establish
ment of rural routes will increase the
circulation of the metropolitan pa
pers at their expense are groundless.
The country publisher should en-
courage and welcome the rural route.
1t must be of benefit to him. When
the farmer who does not take a home
paper, can have it delivered prompt
ly at his door, he will begin to think
that he is behind the times, and that
| it is time to subscribe. People on our
rural routes who have managed to
get along before without local paper
would not be without one now. One
of the rural carriers here said that
he had a score of people on his route
when he first started who were TAX
ing no home newspaper. Now every
patron on the route receives some
! county paper. believe the rural
carrier is partially entitled to this
credit Uncle Sam pays him very
moderate salary, and as the rules
permit him to act as agent for news
papers, he takes special pains to
make his commissions count up as
rapidly as possible, and when he per-
forms some small favor for farmer
who is not taking home paper, the
carrier urges him to to take the pa
per and generally induces him to sub
scribe The editor of the Western
Publisher informs me that he has re-
ceived numerous inquiries from cOun-
try publishers for information on the
hostage rate, WHERE free rural deliv-
cry affects the free mailing privilege
of the county paper The Third AS
sistant Postmaster General, who pre-
scr.bes the rules and regulations
governing second class matter, says
that free rural delivery does not af-
feet the free mailing privilege and
county papers are entitled to free
mailing on rural routes in the cOun-
ty the same as before the routes
started. This applies to weeklies
and semi4wa9klies, which are county
papers. Possibly some have confused
rural delivery regulations with those
governing city delivery. Where city
free delivery is established, semi
wcekli2s and dailips must pay one
cent for each paper and weeklies the
pound rates, but this applies to city
free delivery only.
Rural free delivery is no longer an
experiment. 1t has become part OF
the United States postal system. the
most wonderful in the world. Year
by year rural service will be eX-
tended until this vast country is COW

gress appropriated nearly $13,O00,OOO
for maintaining and extending the
rural delivery system. Between 1000
and 500 NV routes will be started

will call 1t a blessing to the country

There is one feature of the rural
drlivery system that should be criti-
cised and that is the small salaries
paid the rural carrier. Only 5000 per
year is allowed for the carrier, who
must provide his own wagon. two
horses, and make daily trips of 25

should unite in demanding that con-
gress provide more adequate pay.

of society instead of the occupant OF
a felon's cell, and the only safe rule
is to let it alone entirely, for the
drunkards of tomorrow are recruited
from the ranks of the moderate
drinkers of today. Every drunkard
does not commit murder, but all of
them bring heartaches and suffering
to those dependent on them.
The men who sell liquor know the
evil that it contains, and the most
of them are honest enough to advise
you to let it alone. The scene in the
Helena court room will be repeated
over and over again, for as long as
liquor is used men will commit in
sane deeds, but the wise are those
who profit by the mistakes of others.

PULL TOGETHER.

The Wild Rice Lumber Com.
pany, in communication to the
ToMAHAwK relative to the wild
Rice Lake dam says: I'VE have
noticed in the ToMAHAwK the item
in regard to Chief Joe's Pin-dig-
ay-keshig) kickabout our logs and
dam at Wild Rice Lake. We are
sorry he fells SO bitter against us.
We believe that two Of his boys
worked in our lumber camps last
winter, and were paid over one
hundred dollars each and board for
their work. We do not think
there is any occasion for violence
or trouble. We do not expect to
do any damage, but if we do we
will cheerfully pay for it. We do
not think it is fair to bring up old
matters that were once settled and
agreed to by Joe himself and the
other Indians. We have just
bought two sections OF pine timber
on the ceded townships of the
White Earth Reservation that were
claimed by this state as school
lands, but recently sold under the
Morris Act, that will cost us sixty
thousand dollars which will 60 to
the Indians, and will have to be cut
during the next two years largely
by Indian labor. Therefore let
us be friends and pull together in
stead of continually stirring up
strife. We will have no use for
the dam except a short time each
Spring, and no harm can come
from it if used in this way. We
believe a large majority Of the res
ervation people are friendly to us,
and we wish them to contiue to
remain SO.

A GOOD THING.

Any one who stopped at the Hotel
Minnesota, at Detroit, under it's
old regime, would be surprised to
note the favorable change which
has taken place in it under it's new
management. 1t has been thor
oughly renovated and remodeled,
and it is now a modern, up to
date hotel in every respect. The
business men of Detroit own and
operate it, and if they keep it up
the way they have started in they
cannot fail. to make it success
financially and otherwise.

EXPLANATORY.

Since we have commenced the
publication of the TOMAHAwK, we
have had innumerable complaints
from our subscribers regarding the
nonreceival of some of the numbers
sent to them. We are unable to
locate the blame, but we will see
to it. however, that the papers
leave the post office here prompt
ly. If any of our subscribers have
not received some of the papers,
we will take pleasure in forward
ing the missing numbers, except
number two which we have not
got, upon their application.
