ROCKP|lE FOR
WIFE bEhTER

Wife beater! AS Willie Filio, a
young grocery, clerk waits with
down bowed head at the police sta
ton tonight for $1,000 bond for
the appeal Of his case to the SUI
perior court, Kisses of this accusa-
ton are likely ringing in his ears.
He lost his temper and beat his
wife, witnesses before Judge Mann
this afternoon said, and Filio, after
making determined effort to save
himself from the cutting force Of
the law was sentenced to 30 days
on the rock pile and was fined $50
and costs. Many witnesses were
there both for the prosecution and
for the defense and the young
clerks debt to the city goes far
beyond the $50 mark in costs.

STRIKE CONDITIONS
IN OTHER CITIES

TACOMA, Dec. Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern railway
yards have almost complete tie
up today, through the general
strike of the switchmen on lines
extending from st. Paul west. On
the Northern Pacific 105 switch
men are out. Nearly every whee,
10 consequently stopped. Passen-
ger trains are being operated, but
freight traffic Is at q standstill.
HELENA, Mont, Dec. There
is no change In the switchmen's
strike situation In Montana. At
Laurel all the men walked out
from the Northern Pacific yards
and likewise the Great Northern
yards at Great Falls. Only two
men quit here, on account of affil-
iation with the Order of Railway
Trainmen.

ployment agency license of Carr.
Buck & Hill, at hearing this
morning.
The license was revoked by May
or Pratt because of many COM
plants made by laboring men as to
their treatment at the hands of the
employment agents. Little more
than an hour prior to the time ap-
plication was made for an order re-
straining the mayor from revoking
the license, the step had been taken
by the city official.

Reports from Missoula and other
Montana points indicate that the
members of the brotherhood of
that section favor walkout.
Should these men join strikers,
complete traffic decentralization
will probably result. A meeting
of the Missoula branch of that or
ganization was called today to dis
cuss the situation.
The situation in this city is ap-
parently unchanged. Each side in
the cc"' ,oversy claims to have the
upper land and to anticipate vic
tory.

GOOD SHOWING.

For the first time in it's history,
Whitefish is represented at the
county fair by nice display of
farm products that have been grown
on the stump lands.
The Chamber of Commerce has
been actively engaged during the
past week in securing exhibits and
were quite successful, though the
display is not as large as it might
have been, but it marks an epoch
in the history of this section, and
establishes the fact that we have
just as great agricultural possibili-
ties as any other part of the valley.
p. l.. Forcum has some of his
choice potatoes on exhibition, one
of them large enough to make a
meal for a whole family.
John Hoffman has several varie-
ties of apples, also two pressed
bricks, the product of his brick
yard.
r. j. Werner. who owns a ranch
at the head of the lake, has a dis
play of garden products.
J. A. Monk has a plate of apples
that were grown on the north
shore of the lake, and Judge Carr
also has a plate of choice apples
that were grown on his ranch east
of town.
Louis Conner has a very attract
i've display of apples and garden
products.
There are samples of hay anG
wheat in the sheaf from Haskill's
ranch.
J: M. Joyce has several fine sheafs
of oats.
J. A. Johnson, a rancher living
south of town, has three sheafs o
oats.

RAILROAD ASSESSMENT

At an adjourned meeting of the
commissioners the assessment of the
railroads in the county, as fixed by
the state board of equalization, was
approved, and ordered placed on
the tax rolls. The main line assess
ment is 1903, 100; the Kalispell
branch 5000, $50: Somers branch
$53,37O; Marion branch $5S, 1877 !;
a total of $2,216, 766. The valu-
alton of the real and personal prop
erty of the county is $6,216, 766:
making the total assessed valuation
of the county, including the rail
road SO, 1875, 1851.
In ordor to retain the county in
the present class there will need to
to be an increase of assessed valu-
alton of $11 ,O00,O 900, and as it is
not probable there will be any such
increase next year, the county
officials elected next year will re-
ceive smaller salaries than the pos
itions are paying at present. 1t will
probably take two or three years to
get back to the valuation the
county had before the slicing off of
Lincoln county. Inter Lake.
