KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS
GIVE GRAND RECEPTION

The grandest and most elaborate
social function of the season was
given last Thursday evening by
Lakeside Lodge, No. 40, Knights
of Pythias.
This was the first social event
given by this order, it being one Of
the newest lodges in the city, and
they surely did themselves proud.
No pains or expense were spared to
make it success, and how well
they succeeded is evidenced by the
expressions of all their guests. All
who attended report having had a
most enjoyable time.
The evening opened with a ball
in Skyles' hall, which was a very
select affair. Each guest, as he en-
tered, was greeted by Guard J. H.
Crum, who was in full Knights un-
form, and then was waited upon
by the reception committee, who
looked after their comfort, and pre-
sented each with a beautiful souve-
mir program Of the evening, and the
ladies were presented with deep
red rose, one of the emblems Of the
order. Kelley's orchestra, consist
ing of three pieces, Prof. Kelley on
the violin, Mrs. w. A. Jones on
the piano and A. A. McMasters on
the cornet, furnished excellent
music, and everyone enjoyed with
the keenest delight the various
dances on the program.
At IL o'clock all repaired to the
lodge rooms over Matthews store,
where the banquet was served,
which was very pretentious affair
The room was most elaborately
decorated with American flags, ban.
ners, bunting and the parapher.

SCENE OF ACTIVITY
ON ESSEX HILL

Fielding has become the center
of great activities during the last
week and the place has had q
rather phenomenal growth, which is
nothing out of the ordinary fo1
Montana towns.
Grant Smith and Company, the
Great Northern contractors have
their headquarters there and SO
has Winston Bros. A. B. Crouk
has camp one-half mile east of
Fielding; w. G.. Wardenhoff, one
mile west of Summit and Bates
and Rogers Construction Co., are
located 2 miles west of Fielding.
A large crew of men are en-
ployed and the work will lie
pushed as rapidly as pos
sible to have the it finished next
fall if possible.

RECORD
IS GOOD

On September 81 the Great North
ern Railway inaugurated fast mail
train service from St. Paul to Seat
tie. The train is scheduled to leave
St. Paul at 5:15 a. M, and to
arrive at Seattle at 5:45 a. M, :,
running time AZ hours and 80
minutes, distance 1914 miles. 1t
will be interesting to know that the
train has arrived at Seattle on time,
or ahead of time, 81 consecutive
days and has not been late once.
1t has left St. Paul on time but
twice during this period and has
been held for connections as long
as 2 hours and 55 minutes. The
running time on one occasion was
A hours and 35 minutes. The
train consists of five cars heavily
loaded with mail, baggage and ex-
press.
This remarkable record, which is
believed to be unequalled i'm the
world considering the length of the
run and the fact that two mountain
ranges are crossed enroute, will
serve to emphasize the fact that
the physical condition of the COM
pany's roadbed, terminals, power
and equipment are not surpassed by
any other western line and that no
effort has been spared to equip the
line for the prompt and efficient
handling of through trains.

ANDREW R. DUNCAN

DR.. A. R. Duncan died Thursday
afternoon shortly after two o'clock
and long fight against incurable
disease was ended. Until last
spring Doctor Duncan was appar-
emily in the most robust health,
and in attending to his extensive
practice. he walked and drove with
the vigor and energy of much
younger man. Almost without
warning the break came, and
Bright's disease, complicated with
heart trouble and dropsical ten
dency, developed. He found it
necessary to take a vacation from
his practice, which he resumed for
short time later on. He was
soon compelled to give it up again
and went to the coast to try the
effect of a lower altitude. He was
not benefited by the change, and
the specialists whom he consulted at
San Francisco said they could not
help him, land advised him to return
home, which he did several
weeks ago. While his physicians
and his family realized that there
was no hope, DR.. Duncan himself
was thoroughly convinced he would
recover, and frequently spoke of
resuming his practice in short
time.
He came to Kalispell in Septem-
ber 1898. and since that time has
been one of the leading physicians
OF the county.
His wife and three daughters,
Misses Stella, Gladys and Cath
crime survive him, and were with
him at the last.
The funeral was held from the
Presbyterian church at two O'Clock
Sunday afternoon. After the SER
vices at the church were concluded
the Odd Fellows took charge of the
funeral arrangements Inter Lake.

guests were accommodated, and
partook OF a most bounteous supper.
during which the orchestra fur
nished soft music.
l.. B. Saunders was toastmaster.
and was responded to by Knight
H. l.. Gloyde, who gave a very i'm
pressive address entitled, knights
of Pythias, !" explaining the legend
from which the modern Knights of
Pythias was founded. Knights Jos.
Reed and j. A. Monk were un-
avoidably detained and could not be
present, SO two of the toasts had to
be omitted. Knight J. E. Hills re-
sponded in very appropriate way.
His subject was "Us," and he dis
posed of it in manner that brought
forth a great deal of applause from
the audience.
Hon. E. M. Hutchinson made a
short address, thanking the knights
in behalf of those who were not
members of the order, assuring
that every guest had had a most en-
joyable time. A number of others
were called upon and responded
with short anecdotes and speeches
which all went to show their appre-
citation to the Knights Of Pythias
for the royal way in which they
had been entertained.
For the grand success of this
event great deal of credit is due
the executive committee, Knights
Percy Coe, L. B. Saunders anC
George Blume. They were assisted
by the Knights on the following
committees:
Reception-H. E. Doebler, G. H
Jennings, A. L. Gillin, G. V. Coe
A. J. Schradi.
Floor. A. Tillett, J. E.. Hills
j. F. McFarlane, L. H. Bernard.
Decoration Blume, A

Mrs. w. A. Jones was presented
with beautiful bouquet of Ameri
can Beauty roses by the knights O.
Pythias for her kindness in post
poning her trip east to play in the
orchestra on this occasion.

ing to act on the stump ordinance
which has been hanging fire for the
past few months.

GO HOME in
THE DARK

At four O'Clock last Thursday
morning a portion of the Northern
Idaho and Montana Power COM
pany's f1ume at Big Fork went out
in a slide and consequently the city
was in darkness for short time.
The company was bothered con-
siderably last spring by slides, but
it was thought that by putting in
concrete fumes that trouble would
he overcome for the future, but the
long continued spell of rain soft
ened the side hill and a big land
slide carried out the flume.
From out all the dark corners
and hooks the dust begrimed and
smoky lamps were brought and
pressed into service which gave but
a very weak light compared with
what we had been used to. The
whole town had the appearance OF
a tomb, and it didn't look very
promising for the Knights OF
Pythias reception, but the power
plant at the planning mill was
pressed into service again and at
eight o'clock everything was as
good as new.
Kalispell receives it's electric
juice from the same source as
Whitefsh does, but they did not
happen to have an auxiliary plant
and were badly Handicapped. The
newspapers especially suffering
about the worst, having had to US:
the strong arm process in getting
out their papers. The Ka lispel
Iron Works and the brewery which
depend on electricity for power
were also put out of commission.

PLENTY OF "Bos"

There is a great pilgrimage of the
tramp element towards the west
these days and the police officers
are kept busy keeping them on the
move. They are all broke and
many of those big husky fellows go
around "mooching" a feed, but
will not work. 1t would be a good
plan to round up about twenty of
the husky ones and put them to
work cleaning the stumps out of
the streets.

The heavy rains in the mountains
caused the Flathead river to rise
412 feet in 36 hours last week. 1t
also put the track in a bad condi-
ton. The Great Northern had a
crew of men watching the dangerous
places for slides and washouts and
all trains were given slow orders
over the Coram sink hole.

FAST MAIL WRECKED

Last Thursday the east bound
fast mail, No. %, came to grief at
Rugby, N. D., when it plowed in
to the rear end of a stock train
that had not gotten into the clear.
Twelve Montana stockmen and one
railroad man were severly injured.
Rumors of the wreck reached
here Thursday noon with the re-
port that all the railroad men were
killed, which proved not to be true.
The engineer and fireman on the
mail train jumped before they
struck and were not badly injured,
but the engine went into the ditch.
The wreck occurred early Thurs
day morning while the inmates
of the caboose on the stock train
were asleep. The train had gone
into siding to allow the fast mail
to pass and get coal, but apparent
ly had not gone far enough, for
when the mail train came along at
great rate of speed it caught the
caboose and completely demolished
it. The fast mail engine plowed
right thru the side of it and struck
a car of horses just ahead, and
then went into the ditch beyond.
The wreck Immediately caught fire,
but the wounded men were re-
moved from the caboose with safety
by the employees on the mail train
and other people in the neighbor-
hood. Most of the horses were
also gotten out of the burning car,
but many of them were so badly
injured that they had to be shot.
A wrecking train and relief
train, carrying doctors, was i'm
mediately dispatched from DEVILS
Lake, and the injured are being
cared for at the hospital at Rugby.

When Mrs. c. L. Ford received a
telephone message from her daughter

In fact, the young couple had not

Clinton apartments at Washington and
Jones streets. Leah, the daughter, has
been living with her mother Win

cester, the pastor, was waiting. Then
followed the telephoning and the

Manhattan Opera House Tenor
Battles With Composer and
Chews Secretary's Hand
Especial Distateh 10 The Call


NEW YORK, May William lie
Grand Rowland, composer and impre-
sario. told Signora Russo. wife of the
Forthcoming Manhattan opera house
tenor. that she had voice that ought
to be making her fortune in grand
opera. Signor Dominica Russo heard
about it and challenged Rowland to
step into the back yard. and now
Thomas j. Wilhelm, secretary to How
land threatens to sue Russo for half
biting off his hand.
The mixup came about promptly
after Signor Russo had got back TO
New York from western concert tour
last Sunday and found a letter his wife
had addressed to her mother in Cali
fornia, telling what a wonderful voice
Rowland had said she had.
Russo. jealous, challenged Rowland
to physical combat in the back yard of
their boarding house.
The battle was progressing evenly
and with enthusiasm, when Thomas
Wilhelm, Howland's secretary, came
upon the scene. He caught hold of
Russo as the tenor was lunging at
Howlands chin, and the interruption
of the well timed thrust so infuriated
the signor that he turned aside from
his first adversary and buried a whole
and perfect set of teeth in the writing
hand of the impresario's secretary.
Wilhelm howled and all the other
guests of the boarding house came
down and stopped the fight
Wilhelm says:
I'm still waiting for a written
apology from that fellow Russo He
bit me without the slightest provoca-
tion. If don't get an apology I'll take
the case to court or take it out of him
personally
