SNOW BLINDNESS.
The Way This Terrible Affection "a
feets It's Victims.

Snow blindness is an affection little
known through description, though not
very difficult 10 describe, FOR here the
strongest adjecdves need few QuaIlh-
cations The pain does not follow i'm
mediately upon the straining which
seems to be its cause. After long
day Of haze the traveller Ends when he
gets into camp that his eyes are lit
tie itchy and that they water II he
comes too near FIRE or any source OF
heat Later they feel as II there we're
trace Of smoke In the tent, then as II
a grain or two Of sand had got under
the eyelids and finally as If the eye
sockets were lined with sandpaper
Every movement Of the eye causes
pain, and then the pains begin TO come
without q provoking roll Of the eye.

A RIGHT MOVE.

The introduction OF an ordinance
in the town council providing fine
and the fn,l revoking of the license
Of any saloon of the ''rough house"
order is a move in the right direction,
and will undoubtedly meet the APP
prevail Of all, including the saloon men
who are honest in tleiy desire to con-
duct orderly places.
There should be no objection from
any source to any regulations which
tend to pla &c the saloon upon high
er level. although it frequently hap
pens that such regulations are fought
bitterly, with the result, at least in
some cases, that drastic legislation is
seemed by those whose desire in the
beginning was only for proper regu-
la,ion. Prohibition would probably
never be reso,ted 10 in any state or
community if it were possible to Sc
cure legislation which would remove
the Objectionable features of the liquor
traffic.
The town council of Whitehsh is
working along the right lines in this
respect, and should receive the sup
port of all in their efforts to better
conditions in the town.
1t might be said to the credit Of
Whise6sh saloon men. that during
the past several months there has been
very little complaint of the way in
which their business has been con-
Quoted, and there seems to be IN
homes. endeavor on their part to iur
ofGerly houses Without proper reg
ulations in the way OF ordinances, hov
ever, this condition might not always
obtain, and the possibility Of future
trouble should be provided against.

A. BOOM FOR FLATHEAD.

The Western News of Libby sees
boom coming on for Flathead county.
There is no doubt that this county will
Jorge to the front rapidly within the
next lew years. The slump in pros
perity that has prevailed in the east
will only serve to hasten the develop
nent of such localities as the Flathead,
by causing eastern people to emf crate
to locality where better oppor.uni-
ties prevail "rhere are no better op-
poItuni,ies offered in any other sec
ton Of the northwest than those to be
found in this county," says the News.
every natural resource is here and
the county has only been scratched
yet. The broad acres and the rich
soil are here; the climate and mois.
ture are here; within the county is one
of the greatest forests in the United
States; from one end of the county to
the other is water power enough to
drive all the wheels in the country and
there are indications that with de.
velopment Flaihead county will be.
come one Of the greatest producers OF
mineral in the United States. And
indications are that 1908 will witness
the beginning Of this wonderful de-
velopment.
