Our water system is now reality,
water was turned on Monday morning
and nearly everyone in town has water,
those who have not are without it for
the reason that the pipes became clogged.
Just as soon as the trouble can be rem

w. O. Ellis was transacting business
in this city the latter part of the week
from Tobacco Plains. Mr. Ellis says the
farmers of the Plains country are anxi-
ously awaiting the outcome of the at
tempt to create new county in the west
end of this county. He says the farmers
are very much opposed to the move, and
always have been, nd that the only
agitation for the division has been
brought about by townsite boomers, both

The brass band, a couple of floats and
multitude of kids parading the streets
Saturday afternoon gave city the appear
ance OF Fourth of July carnival or
some other sort of a carnival, or some
thing. The idea of getting up parade
headed by the banG originated in the fer
tile brain of w. M. Boyle, recent ar
rival who first gained distinction by buy
ing the Asher place northwest of town
and paying therefor $l4 200. Mr.. Boyle
has conceived the idea that the reason
kalispell is not a city of many thousand
inhabitants is because we have not made
sufficient noise to attract outside capital,
and he expects to supply the noise, which
in turn will attract the capital that will
in its turn make kalispell city that will
make Spokane, Butte, and other places
of like size appear like suburban villages
in comparison. Believing that all great
things have small beginnings, he started
into working out his plans by first get
ting the natives enthused, and the pa
rade Saturday was for that purpose, and
not few of the local merchants and bus
mess firms were represented on the floats.
Greater and more elaborate demonstra-
tons are scheduled for the near future.
