ticularly has advanced a long stride
from the frontier days when any old

a great many business men who are
doing everything in their power to
let the outside world know Of the
wonders of this valley, and in The
meantime are not forgetting to ad-
vance present methods: to beauiify
the streets: to plant flowers where
once the bunch grass grew in great
profusion; to build homes that any
one might envy. and just now the
second annual Flathead county fair
