teachers at the present time.
The enrolment is about two
hundred. Besides the regular
courses usually taught in High
Schools. a course is offered in
Agriculture, Domestic Science
and Manual Training. These
courses have not been opened
yet owing to the limited room
but the county is now having
plans prepared for the construc-
ton of a building about as large
as the present one and as soon
as that is ready for occupancy
these courses will be opened.
There is also an excellent bust
ness college established here
which is turning out some very
competent young men and women
trained for the business world.

lies south Of Kalispel and is
reached at the present time by

Northern Ry. Co. has a crew of
engineers in the field at the pres

Pacific.

soula, SO filings will be made in both
places
have tried to tell the exact truth
concerning this country. This is not az
easy AZ it sounds for a "flatheader I"
Not that any one means to exagRerate
but each and every ono is firmly con-
WINGED that when the Creator made the
universe He saved the best of the ma
terial and having profited by HIS ex-
perience in making the rest OF the
world, He constructed His masterpiece
which He placed here in the midst of
the Rockies and called it the "Flat-
head Valley" And truly after visiting
this region one is almost inclined to the
same :elief. No where is there such
beauty Of flowers, such grandeur OF
cliff, such impressiveness OF canyon.
The camera fend finds subjects on every
hand. Everywhere one may turn some
new beauty Of nature greets the eye. A
lecturer characterized this country as
"A place where there is SO much seen.
cry they have to stack it up edgewlse
to get it all on the landscape" o.
Taking everything into consideration,
know Of no better place than the Flat
head and if any of your readers are
linking of leaving Minot and North
Dakota it would pay them to investi.

before going elsewhere. We have a
good live Chamber of Commerce that is
preparing some works Of art in the line
Of advertising and any ore interested
