STANDING ROOM ONLY
AT LOCAL PLAY

The opera house was crowded ON We'd
nesday night on the occasion OF the pro-
duction OF the "Deestrect Skule" by
local talent. The play was full of fun
from beginning to end, and all who at
tended seemed highly pleased with the
performance. The participants were
dressed in costumes such as our grand
fathers and grandmothers Wore, and
which certainly appear-highly ridiculous
in this day and age.
The cast of characters was as follows:

AN EDITOR WITH A BIG
KICK

The editor of the Columbian OF Colum-
bia Falls is the only out and out
'knocker' that has so far developed in
connection with the Fourth of July cele-
bration at Whitefsh.
The Columbian man must be peculiar
combination, and overfowing with
grouchiness and cussedness, Judging from
some of the statements and misstatements
which he makes.
To begin with, he kicks because the
japanese are to have part in the cele.
bration here on the 5th, making the
statement that they are to have charge
of the celebration on that day, which is
untrue, as the japanese only have charge
of the fireworks, in the handling OF
which they are adopts.
Then the disgruntled editor kicks be-
cause the Whitefish Fourth of July pos
ter was printed in black, red and green,
Notwithstanding the fact that the poster
advertising the Columbia Falls sideshow
on the 9Th is printed in black, on yellow
paper, and, what is worse, was not print.
ed in Columbia Falls at all. The Colum.
bian had to send out of town te
get it's printing done, and then had
the nerve to haye its own imprint place.
on the job. The Columbian's criticism
is very weak, in fact only the rawlings O
a grouchy individual who is doing hi
town more harm than good.

GOTCH WINS
MATCH
Makes Good Showing
Against 0otch, But Is Finally
Overcome by the More
Experienced rlan at
the Game.

The wrestling match between Young
Gotch and Ed Cunning at the Orpheum
theatre Wednesday night was won by
the former in two straight falls The
match was quite interesting, but the
crowd was not large. Gotch is wrestler
who knows the game thoroughly, and
the exhibition was clever one. Sam
Collins, with soft voice and easy manner,
acted as referee to the eminent satisfac-
ton of all.
The men looked to be about evenly
matched as they stepped OH to the mat.
They spared a few seconds for an
opening, and then Gotch got half Nell
son on Cunning and threw him to the
floor. Gotch was the agressor through
out the match. Gotch next got half
Nelson, and another, both of which Gum
ming broke. Gotch turned his man with
a crotch hold, and then failed to throw
him with another half Nelson. Gotch
got full Nelson, but Cunning broke IT..
Here Cunning got a neck hold OH his
opponent, but Gotch broke away. Gotch
then got full Nelson OH Cunning and
won the first fall. Time, 6 minutes
and 10 seconds.
At this point Johnny Mack challenged
the winner of the match.
In the second bout Cunning first tried
for leg hold, but failed. They spared
for several minutes. Gotch got half
Nelson and crotch hold, which Cunning
broke. Gotch played continually for
Cummings wind OH body holds Gun
ming broke half Nelson and crotch
hold. Gotch took half Nelson and
nearly won a fall, but Cunning got out Of
tight place. Cunning worked out of
several half Nelson's in quick succession.
Gotch got half Nelson and crotch hold,
which he turned into full Nelson, but
Cunning broke the hold. Gotch turned
Cunning oyer witt. half Nelson,
and the latter again got out of tight
place. Cunning got neck hold, which
Gotch breaks. Here Gotch gets half
Nelson, which he turns into full Nell

A. N. MATHEWS, FISHING
"CHAMPEEN"= INIT!

That dope in your last weeks paper
about Whitley Mathews having caught
ten salmon trout by trolling Oh the Sat
urday evening before is well calculated
to make old Ananias. turn over in his
grave and groan, and to make old Ike
Walton, who was the whole thing in real
fishing in his day, before conductors
were invented, sit up and gnash his
teeth
Whitley is some as an cxtcrminator OF
hold-ups, and is fairly good light
weight amateur oarsman, as was shown
in the boat races last Fourth, but at
fishing he can't qualify; any call boy OH
the division has him faded-skinned a
whole Mormon block.
Now the truth of that fishing expedi-
ton is this: Whitley meets his new brass
buttons, Jack Bradley, and goes over to
his lakeside home to borrow boat and
fishing tackle. OF course he gets the
layout, and about an hour before dark
he pulls out up toward Monks bay with
a troll line dragging.
Jack is in on the deal, and wises
Whitley up not to come in till after dark
tells him to call as he is rowing in, and
'I'll come down and help pull the boat
up. You see, Whitley, you won't likely
get bite, starting out at this time, but
Mrs. Bradley has done lot of fishing
the last few days, and there are fifteen or
twenty nice ones in my ice box now; Pll
sneak out a couple OF nice ones, and
bring them down with me, for you to
carry away from the boat, and you can
spring it on the boys that you are the
real stuff at fishing"
The deal worked all right; Whitley
rowed up around Bakers point, and kill
ed time throwing rocks in the water, and
when it got dark he rowed down the
lake, and howled for Jack. Jack
smouches a couple of nice fish from the
ice box, and hikes down to the landing,
and passes the two dressed fish to Whitley,
and they had their laugh as they came
up from the lake. Now if Whitley got
over to town with ten fine salmon trout,
as you report, they certainly came from
the same place that the two came from
that Jack Bradley took to the boat for
him.
And there goes Whitey's reputation as
fisherman.

WHITEFISH vs.. LIBBY
SUNDAY

An interesting game of baseball is
looked for Sunday between Libby and
Whitefish. Libby probably has the best
team in Fiathead county this year, hav-
ing beaten the Boomers Ferry nine which
played Kalispell 2 to game last Mon
day.
The Whitefish team has been greatly
strengthened through the return of Ed
Laird, the pitcher, and other recent ac-
QUESTIONS in the way Of players, and the
game Sunday is pretty sure to be the best
seen on the local grounds SO far this sea-
son.
The game will be called at $50 O. clock
and it is hoped that all the fans will turn
out and assist the sport by their presence,
as the expense OF getting the Libby ag-
gregation here is considerable, and unless
a good-sized crowd turns out the home
team will not break eyen.

MANY PEOPLE
COMING
The Largest Crowd Ever Seen In
Whitefish Will Be Here On
July 4 and S, Accord
ing To Present
Indications.

The outlook is that large crowd will
be i'll Wfitefsh from outside points on
July 4 and 5. J d. Pcrdue, who has
been around the county this week
placing the advertising matter, states
that everywhere throughout the county
people are figuring Oh coming to White
fish for one or both of these days.
Sunday, the 4th, which will be pic
mic day on the lake, will be particularly
well attended, as other towns in the
county have nothing to offer on this day
Patriotic exercises, bat Which will he in
keeping with the Sabbath day, will be
held at the head of Whitefish lake, to
which place boats will carry passengers
The big celebration. however, will be
on Monday, the 5tl, and Whitefish will
undoubtedly get a full share of the peo-
pie OF the county for this day, as an ex-
ceptionally interesting program has been
prepared. Many people are expected
from Kalispell, especially, as no celebra-
ton will be held there. From the west
Libby, Eureka, Rexford, Fortine and
the smaller stations will help swell the
crowd, but more especially Eureka, as
the baseball team from that place will
play here. A great many will also come
from the smaller stations to the east,
along the railroad, and the farmers from
the surrounding country will nearly all
be here.
That the hotels and restaurants will
have their hands full in accommodating
the people is sure, and they are advised
to prepare for the biggest crowds that
ever gathered in the town.

The Gardens Of Damascus

From the Biblical World.
The chief attractions at Damascus are
the world-famed gardens which surround
the city. the glimpse we get Of oriental
life as found in the baEaars. fine streets,
of less interest: the famous mosque of
Omciades.
One hundred and fifty square miles of
green lie in compact order round about
Damascus, spread out with all the profu-
sion Of a virgin forest. Orchards and
flower gardens, parks, plantations OF corn
and Of other produce pass before the eye
in rapid ana changeable succession. The
natives claim that there are more than
5000 miles Of shady lanes in the gardens
Of Damascus through which It is possible
to ride. On such q ride the visitor passes
orchards Of figs and orchards Of apricots.
For hedges there II the briar rose and for
q canopy tho walnut. PomeGranate bios
SONS glow through the shade: the vine
bougfs trail across the briars; a little
waterfall breaks on the edge Of the road.
and all this water and LEAKAGE are SO
lavish that the broken mud walls and
slovenly houses have no power to vex the
eye. These long gardens Of Damascus
form the paradise Of the Arab world.
Making a pilgrimage to the city after
weeks and months Of dreary and desolate
desert life, the running water is a Joy
to his sight and music to his ears. and
it is something to walk through shady
and the beauty Of scenery In q land where
the sun beats down all day with unremit-
ting force until the earth Is like q furnace
Of Iron beneath sky OF molten brass.

Much OF the splendor of any of his ma

were not for the dazzling uniforms OF the
high officers Of state and the great ON.
GERS OF the royal household who assemble
at these impressive functions.
There are always five or six different
grades OF gentlemen in attendance pres
ent when his majesty holds court, ana
each has its distinctive dress, the oiHer-
ence usually being indicated by the trim
ming, either gold or silver. or the num-
ber Of buttons worn. The complete out"
AT of a fifst-cIass court official runs UP to
Zoo, the jacket alone costing ESQ TO
s10O. It is made of the finest royal blue
cloth. lavishly embroidered with gold lace
of a highly elaborate design. Tho waist
coat and knee breeches are made from
white kerseymere silk. richly embroidered.
set of with buttons and buckles or gilt.
and white silk stockings. sword. cooked

lar embroidered with silver lace. silver
laced trousers are worn with cooked

handsome and costs the wearer 100
Tuineas simply for the privilege to wear
Il. let alone the making Of IT.
To the Duke OF Norfolk, as tho earl
marshal. however, falls the enytable dis
tinction of wearing the most costly ap.
parel of all great officers OF state. The
dress is absolutely unique. and for sheer
maenificence has no parallel In any coun:
try. Nearly three miles OF the finest gold
thread is used in the embroidery on the
coat collar, front and on the lappets OF
the sleeves. Each suit costs ESQ.
All cabinet ministers and other high
state ofYiciais are expected to have At
least one state uniform. A complete court
outfit will cost from ESQ to &l7O.
There are, OF COURSE. many others
such as the captain OF the yeomen Of
the guard, the captain OF the gentlemen
at arms. the master Of the hor4e and the
souires and pages Of honor. who have to
possess a distinctive dress for special
occasions, costing from e20 to ESQ. Court
dandies will only wear these uniforms
once, while noblemen sometimes make
the same uniform last a lifetime. It has
been computed that on these great state
occasions the value OF the uniforms worn
exceeds 10000.
