The Whitefish pilot. [volume] (Whitefish, Mont.) 1904-current, 1908-10-09
new WHITEFlSH PAPER
IS LAUNCHED

The Pilot is in receipt of Vol. l., No.
l, of the Whitefish Miner, published by
H. F. Laeuger and Sam Robertson, and
the first number is very credtable pro-
duction, showing the result of much care
full work.
The Pilot extends the hand of welcome
to the new publication, and wishes the
estimable publishers every success. The
Miner comes out in six-column quartO
form, four of the pages being home print.
The fact that another newspaper has
started in this town is only another straw
showing which way the wind is blowing.
Whitefish is steadily developing into a
city, and the increase in the number OF
our business houses will not end with the
new paper. Whitefish is going to the
front. The town is being built up stead
lily. As The Pilot has remarked hereto
fore, Whitefish has never even caught up
with its pay roll, to say nothing of the
undeveloped resources which surround us.
Let the development proceed. There
is still plenty of room for it, and with
two newspapers boosting for the town we
should forge to the front rapidly.
Welcome to our city.

LARGE AUDIENCE GREETS
PRAY

The opera house at Kalispell was
crowded with people on Saturday night
to listen to an address by Hon. Chas. N.
Pray, Montana's brilliant young congress-
man. From all over the county people
had journeyed to the county seat to be
present at the speaking, and the meeting
was an enthusiastic one.
Mr.. Pray took up part of the time in
explaining the various legislation enacted
at Washington in which Montana is di-
rectly interested, and talked of his plans'
for the future, in case the voters should
see fit to honor him with the position he
has held for the past two years. For a
young congressman Mr.. Pray has made
a brilliant record during his short stay at
Washington, and the citizens of Montana
are proud of him. He will undoubtedly
be returned to the nations capital this
year by much larger majority than he
received two years ago, although it was
large enough then.
After giving an account of the work in
which he has been interested, Mr.. Pray
launched into discussion of the leading
issues of the campaign in straightfor-
ward and forceful manner that compelled
strict attention throughout by the large
audience. Taking up some of the demo-
cratic campaign issues, he gave them an
airing that exposed them clearly as falla-
cies, and rocks upon which the ship OF
state would surely be badly shattered
should the democrats prevail and their
ideas be put into effect.
Mr. Pray is an eloquent speaker, has a
pleasing personality, and unquestionaby
gained the hearty approval of his audi
ence.

WOODLAWN AWAITS
 CITY'S INVITATION
ALDERMEN BELIEVE ELECTION FOR IMMEDIATE ENTRANCE CANNOT BE CALLED UNTIL FOR MAJ INVITATION.

The Woodlawn city council met in
 regular session last night, Mayor Per-
 ryman presiding. A report was handed in by the Greater Birmingham com
 mittee relative to the annexation of
 Woodlawn, and City Attorney Kennedy
 made report in conjunction with this.
 Jessie L. Burns, the alderman who re-
 signed last week, was reelected to the
 board last night Several of the citl- zens spoke on the issue that is now upermost in Woodlawn. the annexa-
 tion project.
 The first thing taken up was the re- port of the committee appointed at the
 last meeting to investigate the advis-
 ability and feasibility of coming into
 Birmingham before the action of the King bill. The report showed that q petition signed by the legal number of voters had been handed In asking for an election on this subject. City Attorney Kennedy was then called upon to make his report in connection With that of the annexation committee. He said that upon investigation he found
 the signers of the petition were qual- flied voters, but they could not call an
 election until Birmingham asked them to do so. Otherwise. he said, an cleo tion would be called immediately. Several of the aldermen then spoke on the subject and it was the sense of the meeting that as soon as Birming- ham issued them an invitation they would call an election, but they could not do this before.
 At this juncture Jessie L. Burns, who resigned from his position on the board on account of the charges of violation of the law by him because he was building the new Gibson school, said that he had turned over his contract to another person and had nothing to do with the matter now. He said that he had examined the law on the subject and found that he was then violating it, so he resigned from the board and gave up his contract for the school building. He tn en made report of ths condition of finances in regard to this work.
 After this, he asked that the coun- ell re-elect him to the board. This met with the instant approval of all pres | ent and he was unanimously reinstate in his former position.
 T. c. Buckshaw then spoke in favor of annexation, and among other things asked if the council would allow him to use its list of the qualified votecs of Woodlawn as he was preparing a new petition to hand in for an anne1a- | tion election. It was moved that he bs allowed to use this list and after some discussion the motion was passed. After this the board of aldermen de voted a short time to minor matters and then adiourned.

DIFFERENT NOW Athlete Finds Better Training Food.

It was formerly the belief that to become strong, athletes must eat plen- ty of meat.
 This is all out of date now, and many trainers feed athletes on the well known food, Grape Nuts, made ef wheat and barley, and cut the meat down to a small portion, once a day.
 Three years ago. writes a Michi- gan man, having become interested in athletics, I found I would have to stop eating pastry and some other kinds of food.
 q got some Grape-Nuts and was soon eating the food at every meal. for I found that when I went on the track. felt more lively and active.
 Later. I began also to drink Postum in place of coffee and the way I gained muscle and strength on this diet was certainly great. On the day of field meet in June I weigh ed PA pounds. On the opening of the football season III September l weighed 40. I attributed my fine condition and good work to tn discontinuation of improper food and coffee. and the using of Grape-Nuts and Postum. my principal diet during train- ing season being GrapeNuts.
 Before I used Grape-Nuts I never felt right fin the morning-always kind of out of sorts with my stomach. But now when I rise I feel good. and after breakfast largely of Grape-Nuts with cream, and a cup of Postum I feel likc new man." There's a reason"

ALLEGED SLAYER
 TO BE RETURNED
HENRY COLEMAN, CHARGED WITH
 THE MURDER OF JAMES CORD RAY SEVERAL YEARS AGO. MUST RETuRN-THE QUARREL.

W. Henry Coleman, who Is charged with having shot and killed James , cordray in the latter's saloon on South Thirteenth street some six or seven years ago, is being held in Dallas, Tex, and will be brought to Birmingham as soon as an officer can go from here and return.
 Coleman has been residing in Dallas practically ever since the alleged crime was committed, having disappeared from Birmin gham immediately after the shooting. He was arrested in Dallas last January but fought his removal to Alabama by habeas corpus proceedings for six months.
 Ills arrest was effected by Sheriff Ledbetter of Dallas county, Texas, and extradition papers were made out for his removal to Alabama Habeas cor pus proceedings were sworn out before Judge ". W. Nelms of the district criminal court of that place, who re- fused 1t. The case was then taken to the circuit court of appeals, which handed down a decision a few days ago
  declining to grant the plea. Sheriff Ledbetter at once communicated this information by wire to the sherifr of Jefferson county.
 The crime with which Coleman Is charged Is one which resulted from a quarrel over an old saloon trick al- legged to have been played upon him by Cordray. Coleman was in Cordray's bar, which was located between Ave nue B and Avenue on South Thir- teenth street, one night when Cordray made a bet with him. This bet was that Coleman could place a cap over two glasses of whisky, and that Cord ray could drink the contents of the glasses without touching the cap.
 The two glasses were then placed under the cap and the bet was made. A friend of Cordray's then removed the cap and Cordray quietly swallowed the i drinks. Then a quarrel followed, a shot was fired and Coleman disap- peared. Cordray died shortly after 1 ward.

OPERATORS DISCUSS
 STRIKE SITUATION
More Important Operators Report Increased Forces Over Those Of SaturdayTennessee Company Resumes at Blossburg Erskine Ramsay and Dr. Grove Make Statements ported That Organizer Hallier Sewers Relations
 With Union.

Coal operators reported an improvement in the mining situation yesterday. Execu- tive officials of furnace companies and commercial coal companies held a confer ence Tn the Woodward building and after hearing reports and discussing conditions issued the following statement:
 At a meeting of the more important coal operators this morning it was learned that all of the larger companies reported an increase in working forces over those of Saturday and that normal output is expected today.
 Tn addition to this, the Tennessee com pany has resumed operations at Bloss- burg, as has also the Sayre Mining and Manufacturing company Both of thess operators were idle last week. It was also learned that No. Mulga of the Bing- ham Coal and Iron company is again mining coal today after a short period of idleness Several additional signatures were secured to the open shop statement as issued Saturday."
 A number of representatives of various coal and coke companies operating in the Virginias have visited the Birmingham district within the past few days for the purpose of offering large tonnages of coke to the furnace companies, prices which would permit its use in the manufacture of pig iron. Iron makers here say that the Virginia coke producers seem to be under the impression that the strike in this district is much more serious mat ter than the actual conditions indicate. The coke prices quoted, however interest all the iron companies, and one or two iron concerns here are contracting for shipments from Virginia.

Dr. G. B. Grove, president of the Yo- 1ande Coal and Coke company. the New Connellsville Coal and Coke company and the Abernant Coal company, returned to the city from Yo1ande last night and mads this statement: "On Monday, July 6, cll our miners declined to work. On Tues day l discharged every one of them On Thursday I started up again with small force made up of new men. The number at work has increased since Thursday and today our No 1 mine had a very fair output Our old men have asked to be renstated, but as they refused to work when the company needed their services we refuse to take them back. Within the next day or two we will have all the miners we have room for. We will soon start up our No. mine at Yolande, and ether companies of which l am president are getting ready to resume. I am well pleased with the mining outlook
 Erskine Ramsay, vice president of the Pratt Consolidated company, said yester- day: We are mining as much coal now as we would have mined had there been no strike.'
 Many of the small commercial opera tors announced on the first of July that they would be closed for repairs for Il month at least.
 The United Mine Workers are pushing their efforts to organize new locals and claim now a large membership for tho union.
 It Is understood that Joe Hallier. who has been organizer for Alabama district No. 20, has severed his connection with the United Mine Workers.
