Reports from the Flathead reserva-

brewing as the result of the attempt
of Indian agent Smead TO collect the
tax Of 81 per head on all stock owned
by any one family in excess of 100
head. 1t was asserted at the

Indian department to levy the tax

object. and results have shown that
the prediction was true. Last week
an attempt was made by Agent
Smead and number of men to take
possession Of stock owned by a
stockman. on account Of non-pay-

men interfeled and drove the agent
and his men away at the point of

something awful. Women came to

husbands, others came to see their

Cloud Burst Causes Damage on the

heavy cloudhurst yesterday afternoon
in vicinity of Columbus washed out
two bridges on the Northern Pacific,
causing a serious delay. One bridge
was solid steel span 80 or 40 feet
long and Is feet high, which spanned
a small creek, one mile west of Col
um'bus. The water came down with
force enough to carry the bridge bod
lily from it's foundations and moved
the abutments several feet down the
stream. The water came down Val

high, washing away another bridge
and so feet of track.

About 125 people took in the excur-
sion to Columbia Falls Sunday. leav-
ing here about $3.50 a. m. and return
ing at in the evening. The day
was spent killing time in and around
the Falls until the afternoon, when
an alleged ball game was pulled off
between the Blues of this city and
the Columbia Falls boys.
1t was the first excursion ever run
out of Kalispell, and there were
many mistakes made which will be
obviated the next time. The chief
mistake was the time of starting, 8
O'Clock being too early, especially
for trip to the Falls, where every
thing can be seen in half an hour.
After that it was a case of sitting
around the hotel. If the start had
been made about noon more people
would have attended and there would
have been less of that tired feeling
1t was not as bad as it might have
been, however, and the affair will
probably lead to other Sunday trips
during the summer, not only IN III
Falls, but to other points il tie II

When the special train II nzached the
depot at the Falls, there was nobody
in sight to greet the crowd except q
few bus drivers, who wanted =
cents per to haul the people the hal
mile to town. None of the baseball
boys We're in sight to greet the team
from here and no one to meet tn

occasioned considerable criticism o
the glaring lack of courtesy on the

I'd much rather invest in Washington.
To my mind, the natural advantages
OF Washington are far ahead of Cali
fornia. The timber and water of
Washington would make of California
a paradise on earth, with its warm
climate. For the last three days the
mercury has stood at 80 degrees from
10 NJ. till 4 P. NJ, but the mornings
and evenings are cool and pleasant.
They have had but one rain in six
months and the country looks like it
hadn't rained for six years, as there is
not particle OF verdure except where
irrigated. Yours muchly,"

BUSTING CARS.
Cleaning Sleeping Cars With Air Blasts

Leslles weekly,
All sleeping cars are thoroughly
cleaned at the end of every long trip
such as from New York to Chicago,
New York to New Orleans, or from
these central terminals west to the
Pacific Coast. On a short run, such
as from New York to Boston, a car
can make two trips without being over
hauled; but when it is scheduled for
cleaning the work is done in a man.
ner that would have surprised the old
time devotees to soap and water and
the dust brush. This must be so on
account OF the dust that a car naturally
accumulates in every crevice and cor
ner. When a car gets into terminal
station alter long trip it is run out to
the cleaning yards and put into the
hands of well-trained crew OF work.
men, each of whom is responsible for
some detail of the work. First the
carpets are all removed, and with the
berths in place the interior is blown
out with compressed air at pressure
of from IS to 100 pounds-enough to
sweep good-sized boy off his feet, in
fact. Could any dust remain where
that blast of air had penetrated? Com
pare it with the old-tashioned method
of sweeping and mopping and rubbing
with dirty old dish-rags.
After the top OF the car and the
floor and all the corners and window
sashes are freed from every particle Of
dust the berths are let down, the cur
tains, bedding, seat backs, and all re-
movable material in the car is taken
out on the platform, and the springs
and pillow boxes and mattresses are
subjected to the same searching blast
of compressed air. Then the wood
work polishers and window-cleaners
come in, and after every bit of dust
and dirt has been removed from the
car the curtains, bedding, etc.. after
the same thorough blowing, out, are
replaced. So when a sleeping car is
backed up into station for long
trip a passenger may be reasonably
sure that it is as clean as it can posi-.
bly, be made; and in addition to all
this, every Car is provided with the
latest improved flushing appartus,
equal to that in any home or high
class hotel, with an abundant supply
of water which is forced through the
train by heavy air pressure.

writing of this new plan, says: "At
present the insular bureau has force
of 100 clerks. That is the chief argu-
ment in favor of the creation Of the
new department. As the colonel con-
ducts the affairs of his bureau, he ex-
ercises almost as much authority as
the average member of the cabinet,
which is another argument for the
creation OF the new position. The
name, Insular department., has been
agreed upon by Senator Foraker and
others interested, as being the least
Objectionable, but it is not proposed to
confne the authority of the depart

Sugar City, Colo, June 27.-Otto
Hoerning, Of Germany, who furnish
es Colorado and several other states
with large quantity Of sugar beet
seed, and who is now in the United
States looking the beet industry
over, was here this week inspecting
the big fields which have made this
section famous.
Mr.. Hoerning was in this country
four years ago, whom tho beet sugar
industry was just getting on its feet,
and he finds great changes since
that time, although he was not sur
prised at the rapid growth. In con-
versation with your representative
he said:
II knew that the industry must
have taken firm hold of this country
from the increased orders for seed
from year to year, and I knew from
what I saw of your farmers on my
previous visit that when once they
took up the crop and learned how to
handle it there would be thousands
Of them engaged in the work in q
few years.
II have enjoyed my trip, although
I have not had as much time to
spend in each place as I would like
but I cannot neglect the work at
home, and consequently must mske
q flying visit. I like your Ameri-
cans very much, because it is all
push and get ahead over here. No
other country in the world could
take hold of a new industry and
make so much of it in SO short time
as the United States has. s."-Denver
