The Canadian Thistle, which made
their first appearance in the valley about
three years ago, have been increasing
with startling rapidity, and unless some
concerted action is taken to exterminate
the pest, it will be only short time I'M
til it will be as impossible to kill them
out as is now the case with the dandelion,
and as they are a positive menace to
crops of all kinds every resident of the
valley should see to it that not one of
them goes to seed on his premises

1t is reported that the Big Blackfoot
Milling company will resist the collection
of the taxes levied against their prop TT !
in this county and that the matter will
get before the courts in the shape of an
injunction to prevent the county selling
the lands for taxes. The company insists
that the valuation placed on their lands
by the assessor is excessive, and more
than other property of a similar nature
is listed for. They made application to
the commissioners to have the assessment
reduced, but the application was denied.

All children who have not heretofore
been vaccinatcd successfully are required
by recent order of the state board of
health to be vaccinatcd and bring GER
tificate to that effect before they are re-
ceived as pupils in public schools. Par
ents who have children who have not
been successfully vaccinated and who
desire to have them enter school Sept.
s should attend to the matter now, so as
to avoid the delay which sometimes oc-
ours when the operation is left till the
opening day of school. The order does
not require new vaccination for chill
dren who have already been successfully
vaccinated, as some parents have erron-
eously been led to bclieve.-Kalispel

One OF the things that shows how
heavy is the crop Of winter wheat now
being cut in the valley, is the fact that &
certain make of harvester that has here
tofore answered the purpose, and has
been popular on account OF its light draft
is found to be too light to handle tn
grain this year, and they are bein.
brought in and exchanged for heavier
ones. Quite number of new ones tina
were bought have been returned and ex
changed this week tor that reason. The
grain stands so thick upon the ground
and is so heavy, that the light machine
will not handle it. The dealers all sa,
they are selling more harvesters than il
any previous year. The acreage in grail
is greater than ever before, and with TIN
big crop and the certainty of good prices
the Flathead rancher will come into hi
own this year.-Daily Inter Lake.
