Blackshear. He is yet under 40 years
of age, having been born in Townsville
in 1871; but he already has behind him
record of three terms service as judge
OF the county court of Pierce. 1t was
to that Office that he was appointed first
by Governor Atkinson in 1895, when he
had Just reached the required age of
% His original appointment therefore
brought to him the distinction Of being
the youngest Judge in the state. He was
reappointed by Governor Gambler and
again by Governor Terrell, thus serving
his county for three consecutive terms on
the bench of it's court.
In December, 1907, he declared himself
a candidate for the legislature. A hot
race, closely contested, ensued. But he
won out by a good majority.
Judge Mitchell is at present the mayor
of Blackshear, and for six terms past has
held that office. He has the confidence
and esteem of all his townspeople and
the citizens of the county. He is pro-
crossing well in the practice of law.
which he has been following with increas-
ing success since his admission to the bar
in 1891 Before entering the legal pro-
fession, he had taught school in Thomas,
Brooks and Pierce counties. He Is a son
OF Judge Robert G. Mitchell, of the
southern judicial circuit, and ex-president
Of the Georgia senate. He moved to
Blackshear from brownsville in 1890.
Judge Mitchell, the new representative
rom Pierce, is deeply interested in tn
cause of education. and especially in the
rural schools.
From his declarations, Representative
Mitchell is expected to prove one of the
safe and conservative members of the
approaching legislature. He is strongly
IN favor of biennial sessions, and be-
lieves in every possible curtailment of the
states expenditures.
IN 1894 Judge Mitchell was married to
Miss Mary Acosta. They now have an
interesting family of six children. Judge
Mitchell is a Mason and an Odd Fellow,
and a member of the Baptist church.

TRAIN IS
DITCHED

The Burlington train No. 43, in
charge of Conductor Smith and En-
gineer E.O. Larter, was derailed at
Valcour siding Monday forenoon
while it was running about 40 miles
per hour, which resulted in the
whole train being ditched. 1t is
thought that the derailment was
caused by the frost heaving the
track.
The engine remained upright and
was not seriously damaged, but all
the cars shot out in different direc-
tions and turned over on their side.
How the passengers and crew es-
capped death or serious injury can
rot be accounted for, but out of
about 80 people on the train, there
we're only 5 who received injuries
that needed attention and they
were all able to continue on their
journey.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Coleman and
Joe Delesha were on the train from
here on their way to Spokane and
Mr.. and Mrs. Coleman were about
the most seriously injured. Mrs.
Coleman was badly shaken up and
Mr.. Coleman had his back
wrenched, but not so as to lay him
up.
A chef in the dining car had his
leg quite badly scalded by hot
water that fell on him. and had his
hand cut a little. The baggageman
had his wrist sprained and Mrs.
Loomis, quite an old lady from
Great Falls, had her side bruised.
Superintendent w. R. Smith left
Immediately on train No. 3 in his
private car with DR.. H. E. Houston
to render any MEDICAL assistance
that was necessary, and the wreck
ing outfit followed Immediately t.
the scene from Lubec, where it was
picking up the big mallet engine
1905, which had been derailed al
that place.
The traffic was not seriously
hampered by the wreck.

TUESDAY SHORTEST
DAY OF THE YEAR

Tuesday was the shortest day Of
the year, being about nine hours
long. The earth is nearest the sun,
and the sun enters the sign of
Capricorn and attains it's greatest
declination, south of % degrees 81
minutes and 7 seconds. From a
scientific standpoint Tuesday was
the middle of winter, but the sea-
sons lag slightly behind the move
ment of the sun, so the middle OF
winter falls in January, month
later than the winter solstice.
The sun reached it's farthest point
south on that day and starts north
again, the days lengthening several
minutes until the middle of June,
when the longest day of the year
arrives. To an observer on the
Tropic of Capricorn the sun at noon
appeared exactly overhead, which
happens but once a year on this
tropic, while at any place between
the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn
this occurs twice year.

SPECIAL
SESSION

A special session of the Eleventh
legislative assembly was called Fri
day ty Gov. Edwin L. Norris to be
convened at the capitol at noon,
Monday, Dec. 81.
Only two matters will be con-
sidered at this special session,
First, to consider, if found desir-
able, to appropriate such additional
sum as may be necessary to permit
the purchase of materials of every
kind or character produced or man
ufactured in Montana that may be
used in the construction of the
capitol additions, and to make an
amendment to the act authorizing
the construction of said additions
as the legislative assembly in it's
wisdom may deem advisable.
Second to make an appropria-
ton for the support of the public
ity department for advertising the
resources Of the state for the fiscal
year 191O," a matter which was
overlooked at the regular session.

DIED IN SPOKANE

Mrs. W. w. McFadzen, wife of
Conductor McFadzen died in Spo-
kane on Monday. The remains
were brought to Kalispell where the
funeral, services were held at the
Episcopal church yesterday and
interment was made in Conrad
Memorial cemetery. Mrs. McFad-
zen was we'll known here and had
numerous friends in Whitcfish who
will be greived to learn of her
death. She lived here two years
ago, previous to moving to Spokane
and before her marriage she was
one Of the trusted employees with
the Pioneer Mercantile Co. c. A.
Smith, Rube Gray, O. O. Sletten,
Jesse Evans, John Lindhe and C.
Smith were pail bearers. Wm.-
Deeringer and G. A. Murphy also
deattend the funeral.

WINS
BOWLING MATCH

A picked team of the crack bowl
ers from Kalispell came up Sunday
afternoon and had a match game
with a picked team of Whitefish
bowlers at the Club Bowling Alleys.
The Kalispell boys carried off the
honors without much effort, as the
home boys had not had much prac-
tice in match games, and lost bad
ly by stepping over the foul line.
This is something that the bowlers
here have not been paying attention
to, apparently never making any
efforts at all to keep back of the
foul lines in their practice games,
and when it comes to match game
it has become such habit that it
is hard matter to keep from foul
ing.
There were no high scores made
on either side. The game running
along very evenly the first two
innings, but in the third the Kali
ispell ball rollers made a gain of
over 100 pins. The score is as fol-
lows:

NEED MORE
APPARATUS

The Whitefsh Volunteer Fire De-
partment held a special meeting
last Thursday evening in place Of
the regular meeting which should
have been held the week before, but
was postponed at that time.
During the course of the meeting
great many things were talked
over in regards to the fire protec-
ton of the town. The town is
growing all the time. and as the
town grows, so should the fire de-
partment be equipped accordingly,
so that they will be in better
position to handle larger fire.
They also should have apparatus
for handling a small blaze, such as
chemical fire extinguishers. They
are more effective than water for a
small fire in the interior of store,
or home, and there will not be one
tenth of the stock damaged that
there would be by being gutted
with an inch stream of water under
pressure.
1t was reported that there were
no gaskets for the nozzles, which is
a bad thing in cold weather, as the
nozzle man is sure to be drenched
to the skin and he will not be in
a position to work very we'll in that
condition when the weather is down
to zero. The chief had the city
council order these at one time sew.
eral months ago, but they never
arrived.
Several of the fremen thought
that there should be some carrying
straps attached to the nozzles for
use in taking the hose up ladder.
After explaining the advantage Of
this it was ordered that such straps
be procured at once.
| At the present time the fireman
have no suitable hall where they
can meet in comfort or keep any,
thing, 50 it was decided that if
permission from the council can be
obtained, they will fix up the room
in the rear of the city hall for this
purpose. The band wants a meet
} ing place also and will help them
) out in bearing part of the expense.
J The roll book shows that there

pany and it is hoped that they will

HOLIDAY SEASON GOOD

This holiday season has not been
as brisk as was expected by the
merchants, but still they say that
they did a bigger business than was
done last year. The switchmen's
strike coming the way it did put
the majority of railroad men on
short time and they do not feel that
they can be as free with their
money as they would like to be.
The strike has caused a lull in
business all over the country.
Business is rather slow on the rail-
road on account of it, but it is ex-
pected that after the first of the
year when the strike is settled that
it will be just as good as ever.

KALISPELL CANAL
TOO COSTLY

Washington, Dec. 17.-Secretary
of War Dickinson sent to congress
to-day the report of Chief Engineer
Marshal of the survey for the pro-
posed improvement of Flathead
river, from its mouth to Kalispell.
The reports recites that the i'm
provements would be very expen-
sive and that the commerce on the
river is not sufficient to justify the
cost.
