LIKES THE FLATHEAD
VALLEY.

A Helena resident who recently Wis.,
tied northern and northwestern Mon
tana speaks in flattering terms OF the
country in the Helena Record.
Northern and northwestern Montana
were never in better physical or finan-
cial condition. he says The develop
ment of the agricultural and lumber
resources of the country is wonderful to
behold. From Kalispel to Big Fork is
an unbroken string of highly cultivated
farms, while in the timbered section,
much land is being cleared and orchards
planted. The fruit and grains raised is
# the highest quality and the year just
closing, while the most prosperous in
the history OF the county, is only har-
binger OF what may be expected in the
future.
The people of northern and north
western Montana are Il highly contented
class and the absence of fault.finders
was noticeable. Naturally. under these
conditions, residents of Flathead county
are to be pardoned as we'll as congrat.
ulated upon their boast about living in
one OF natures choicest spots.

BUCKSHOT ROBERTSON'S
PLANTATION

Conductor Buckshot Robertson ia this
week proudly distributing among his
friends shipment OF salted almonds, in
the rough, which he recently received.
Mr.. Robertson is the owner OF fine
almond plantation in California, near
the ocean beach, where the nuts grow in
great profusion.
The almonds, with husks on, were
quite curiosity here, and the genial
conductor has been quite busy in dis
tributing them and explaining their
method ofgrowth and other habits. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Robertson, the almonds
grow in the ground, much after the
manner Of peanuts. Then when they
are fully matured and ripe, they are
turned up to the sun for few days,
which roasts them, and while the roast
ing process is in progress the almonds
acquire salt at the same time from the
sea breezes which blow over them from
the briny ocean.
On account OF the plantation being To-
tied near the ocean. the process OF
turning out the roa sted and salted pro-
duct thus becomes most economical
one, and gives Mr.. Robertson "A great
advantage over inland growers, who are
compelled to salt their almonds by hand.
The gentleman's plantation is not very
large, but what it lacks in size is made
up for in economy OF operation,

CHANGE NAME OF LAKE
A Whlteflsh Citizen Thinks that
Whitefish Lake Should be
Rechristened.

The Pilot is in receipt OF the following
communication:
Mr.. Editor-May / not euggest a
change OF name for the beautiful lady OF
waters now known as Whitefsh lake?
1t does seem to me that the town and
lake should bear different names, and
the name of the lake could be more
easily changed than that OF the town.
There ought not to be too many things
or places bearing the town name.
Whitefish is appropriate for the lake,
OF course, but is it not an ugly name for
SO lovely sheet of water, with it's grand
and picturesque surroundings?
Merely because fine Whitefish abound
in the lake is no more reason for giving
it that name than for naming an Indian
baby Full Moon on account of its hav-
ing been born in the full OF the moon.
We have a Whitefsh town, a Whtefish
bank, a Whitefish hotel, a Whitefish
meat market and Whitefish mountains,
but let us not give the name to any of
our parks, drives or pleasure resorts that
may belong to us in the near future.
Let Kalispell, Columbia Falls or other
towns use our name, if they desire, for
some of their hotels, stores, parks or
streets, even as they apply the names OF
New York or Boston.
Whitefishing our town is better than
whitewashing it, perhaps, but let us
pause for awhile.
! would suggest the name Lake Vista,
but there are many other fitting names.
Yours truly,
CITIZEN.

HOLD SPECIAL MEETING
Town Council Transacts Business and
1ndulges in Considerable
Discussion.

The town council held special meet
ing last Friday night, when the plan to
buy building for city hall, as we'll as
several other matters, was discussed at
length
The bond offered by the Whitefish
Plumbing Co. was approved, and the
firm designated as official plumbers,
with the privilege OF tapping the water
mains and making connections.
The street committee was instructed
to repair dangerous place in sidewalk
at Lakeside.
Alderman Avery brought up the mat
ter Of joining with local club in the
work OF securing park for the town.
Mr.. Avery pointed out that the shady
spots near the town would soon be
thing OF the past. and there would then
be no place near by suitable for park
purposes, without resorting to the costly
and lengthy plan of planting trees.
While he realized that at present there
was no crying need for such place, the
day was not far distant when the towns
people would be regretting their lack OF
foresight in not preserving at least
sample of the pretty spots that now
abound. Mr.. Avery was the only mem
ber to speak in favor OF the plan; in
fact, considerable opposition to the pro-
iect was manifested. Two of the coun-
Gil members made it plain that not only
were they opposed to tue council assist
ing in such plan, but they did not even
feel favorable towards the proposition.
They stated however, that they would
look with more favor upon some move
which would furnish resting place for
the single men Of the town. and tend to
keep them out OF the saloons. Two OF
the aldermen, Baker and Robinson, did
not express an opinion in the matter.
No action was taken, the discussion be-
ing simply Of an impromptu nature.

CORONER'S JURY HOLDS
INQUEST

The inquest over the remains OF Chas.
Newbowers, who was killed near Sum-
NIT on Thu, sday OF last week, was held
on Monday by Coroner Sherman. The
jurors were G. W. Avery, X. D. Pelo-
quin, J. F. Mclaughlin, ]. A. Robinson,
Emil Hertel and Ed McConville.
NJ. c. Phelps, Engineer p. l.. Forcum,
Conductor Driscoll and others testified
in connection with the case, all the tes-
timoay going to show that Newbower
had failed to hear the train when it
came up behind him, and probably after
the whistle was sounded did not have
time to set off the track.
The engine, with dozer attached, was
backing up from Lubec to Summit, and
NEWCOMERS was walking along the track
in the same direction. The wind was
blowing and the snow was flying at the
time, which made it difficult to see very
far ahead, while the engineers view was
shut off almost entirely by the dozer.
Conductor Driscoll saw the man, but
thought that he had heard the train
and would get off the track Seeing
soon that he did not intend to do go,
Driscoll signalled the engineer to stop,
but before the train could he brought to
a standstill the man had been struck
and killed almost instantly.

turns, the penalty for which is
quite heavy.
