Considerable interest is being taken in
the proposition to drill hole somewhere
in the valley in quest of anything of
value that may lie underground here
abouts, and it would not be surprising if
definite action was soon taken.-Kalis-
pell journal.
f. s. Baker of Baker Bros, logging
contractors at Trego, was in town this
week. This firm is just winding up a
three-year contract with the Eureka
Lumber company on the forest reserve at
Trego, the cut tie past season being
about ten million feet. The cleaning up
and burning of the brush on the cut over
land will require large force of men all
summer, but this work will be done by
the lumber company.-Tobacco Plains

There is one good thing in the new
game law, at least. All aliens, unless
they have declared their intention to be-
come citizens of the United States, are
classed with non-residents in the matter
of licenses, and the sons of Japan and
ltal y, who make up the railroad con-
struction and extra gangs, will be com.
PEELED to pay a dollar each for fishing
licenses; ten dollars to have the license
include the right to hunt small game,
and twenty-five dollars for general
license. These gangs have been very ac-
tive fish and game exterminators in re-
cent years, and the new law will I'M
doubleday check their depredations.-In-
| ter Lake.
Over a hundred people are said to have
gotten off the train at Kalispell last Mon
day afternoon, most of them being east
erners attracted to the valley by our add
vertising and the prospective opening of
the reservation. At the same time many
of them are looking for investments, and
some Of them are putting their money
into the good things offered for sale. A
large proportion of the newcomers are
people of means who are looking for a
pleasant place in which to live, and have
been attracted here by the famous Flat
head climate-the best all-the- year-round
climate in the world. As spring advances
it is expected that the trains will be more
heavily loaded, and it is freely predicted
that by June another coach will have to
be added to the branch train -kalispell
Journal.
kalispell will be represented in the Pa
citic Northwest Baseball league this sea-
son. Big Gus Thompson will win the
pennant for Seattle, by his pitching;
Paige, formerly backstop for the X. A.
A. has signed with the Spokane Indians,
and Johnny Anderson, who has been the
rock and refuge::of Kaispell's failing ball
team for the past three years, has gone
for tryout with Seattle, and if unsati :
factory may try Portland One thing
sure, without Johnny Anderson in the
pitchers box there won't be much to the
kalispell association team this year I'M
less a twirler is imported. Andy has won
many games for the locals, he always
pitched his best and wisest when in a
hole, and if he has not become too slow
at the bat on account of lack of profess
sional practice he ought to give a good
account of himself in the northwestern
bunch. -kalispell Bee.
