1t may be hard for The Pilot,
taking the view that it appears
to, to believe, but Kalispell will
be glad to see Whitefsh, and all
other Flathead towns, growing
and prosperous.
The above is taken from the
Kalispell Inter Lake, and insofar
as it refers to the people of Kalis-
pell generally, is no doubt true.
So far as the Inter Lake is con-
cerned, however, the people of
Whitefish are thoroughly alive to
the fact that that newspaper has
never missed an occasion to print
any kind of a fake railroad story
that would tend to injure this
town. Time after time, in the
Inter Lakes columns, have ap-
peared stories detrimental to the
interests of Whitefsh, but which
invariably have turned out to be
unfounded, or at least have not
come about as predicted. But
does the Inter Lake ever make
any reparation when its dreams
fail to come true? Not yet.
In the same issue of the Inter
Lake from which the above item
is taken appears the following:
"The people of Kalispell have
hoped that some day it could be
automatically stated that the
Great Northern had either begun
relaying rails between Marion
and Jennings, or that it had
started construction work on the
Libby cutoff. Railroad mer
generally believe it is only &
question of time that one or the
other will be done.'
The Pilot has no hesitancy
in saying that railroad mer
generally" do not believe any
, thing Of the kind. Most Of the
readers of The Pilot know full
we'll that the belief among rail
road men is directly opposite t.
the statement made by the Inter
Lake. There is nothing to it

a perfect food of inquiries is coming
from every direction in regard to the res
ervation opening, opportunities for bus
mess of all kinds in Kalispel and the
surrounding towns. Most of them, of
course, come to the Chamber of Com
merce, but every business house in town,
and almost every person, gets many.
The newspaper offices are flooded with
them. 1t is simply out of the question
to answer them all, or make any pre-
tence of answering them.-Inter Lake.

that a number of new places

quarters. Whitefsh is on the
