BAND TO GIVE
CONCERTS
Brass Band to Give
Open Air Concerts During the
Summer r1Onths-Band
Stand to be Lighted.

Bandmaster Dennis Kelley is getting
the Whitefisn band in shape for series
of outdoor concerts, which will be given
i'll the band stand at the corner OF Cen
tral avenue and Second street. The mem
bers of the band will donate their services
to the town on these occasions, and the
concerts may be continued throughout
the summer months, probably once a
week, if the townspeople show any signs
OF appreciation of the bands efforts
Whitefish has a good band, and in Mr..
Kelley the band has an excellent director
who, although he could easily command
a good salary for such services elsewhere,
has donated his time to the end that
Whitefish might have an efficient musi-
cal organization.
The band stand is to belghted by cleo
tricity for these concerts, President En-
loe OF the electric light company having
assured the band that the lights would
be installed without charge.

MONTANA CLIMATE IS
ALL RIGHT

From bulletin recently issued by the
Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound rail
way, we take the following, regarding
the climate of Montana:
The climate of Montana is excellent
and is usually great surprise to visitors,
who sometimes expect Canadian weather.
The clear, dry air is extremely invigor-
ating and, combined with the large per-
centage OF bright days, makes the climate
one OF the most healthful and pleasant in
the world. There are few days in the
entire year in which outdoor work can
not be done IN comfort.
No one need fear the winters of Mon
tana. They are tempered by the warm
chinook winds and by the mountains,
and are not as severe as the winters far
ther east. Stock of all kinds winters IN
the open with no protection, depending
for food upon the nutritious range
grasses with the addition of a little hay
at times. If Montana experienced much
stormy or cold weather the live stock bus
mess would cease to be profitable through
winter losses. On the contrary, the
stockmen of Montana have made mil
lions. In western Montana the winters
are even milder than in the eastern part
of the state.

SAW MILL WILL RUN
FOUR MONTHS

Affairs at the Somers Lumber Co. IS
mill here are being shaped so as to start
the mill early in June, and enough logs
have been cut during the past winter to
run the mill for about four months.
For the past three weeks eight men have
been employed in loading cals of lumber
for shipment, and the stock is being
greatly reduced. 1t is the intention to
entirely clear out the yard ON the north
side of the railroad track, and hereafter
use only the large yard on the south side.
1t is intended also to run the planning
mill during the summer, and it will be
started just as soon as the orders for lum-
Der justify.
G. E. Davis, who has the contract for
delivering logs to the mill, is at work
breaking the rollways, and will have the
logs on hand at the mill at the appointed
time.
H. G. Karow, superintendent of the
local plant, has been on the road selling
lumber most of the time for several
months, and has taken many orders and
made arrangements for considerable fu-
ture business. He was called to Poison
this week to take orders.

A BALL GAME
SUNDAY
SOmers and WhitefiSh Will Meet
On the Local Diamond Sum-
day Afternoon At
$500 O'clock

The first local baseball game of the
season to be played with an outside team
will be pulled off Sunday between Somers
and Whitefsh, and an interesting con-
test is looked for.
The Somers team organized early this
year, and has been playing good ball, ac-
cording to reports, and it is anticipated
that they will put up fast game. The
game will be started at $3.50 o'clock.
Everybody who can do so should turn
out to this game. The baseball associa-
ton has incurred considerable indebted
ness in fixing up the grounds, and in Or
der that this may be paid off the games
this summer must have loyal support.
The band will probably turn out and
furnish music to call the crowd together,
and will be on hand during the progress
Of the game.
The Whitefish lineup has not been
definitely arranged, but the players will
be picked from the following:
Donovan, catcher; Hardy, Knapton
and McCabe, pitchers; Brown, first base !;
VanSlyke, second base; Shoaf, short
stop; Hamill, third base; Beaudin, right
field; Miller, center field; Emard, left
field: Coffey, Peterson, Kester and
Gutensohn, substitutes.

START WORK
AT ONCE
New Brick Building and Trans
mission Line to Be Rushed to
Completion. Machinery
Ordered

Eugene Enloe, president of the Big
Bend Light and Power Co., came in
Wednesday from Spokane to look after
the company's business here. Mr.. Enloe
states that the plans are all ready for the
brick building which is to be constructed
in Whitetish, and work on the structure
is to start at once.
This building is to be two stories high,
and will be used as sub station and for
office purposes. Outside of the brick
work, no contract will be let for it's con-
struction, but workmen will be hired as
needed and the work supervised by the
company.
The work of distributing poles for the
transmission line between Whitefsh and
Kalispel is to start next week. At Kalis-
pell connection will be made with the
Bgfork line.
The machinery for the transformer
station at Whitefish has been ordered,
and will probably be here early next
month.
1t is the company's intention to be
able to supply electricity over the new
line by the lst of August. In the mean
time the Whltefsh temporary plant will
be operated.
Mr. Enloe expects to be here nearly all
the time next month, and will personally
superintend the work.
The Whitefish pilot. [volume] (Whitefish, Mont.) 1904-current, 1909-05-14

Besides the improvements which
will be made here, a number of new
log cottages are to be erected at the
Point of Pines resort, which is also
owned by Mr.. Walker, and upon
which Mr.. Davis will begin work next
week.
Mr.. Walker is constantly adding to
his holdings in Whitefish and vicinity,
and is now heavily interested here. 1t
is his intention to make Whitefish his
permanent home in the near future,
and for some time he has been closing
out his interests in Butte with this OBJ
ject in view.
There are few places that can equal
Whitefish lake as place at which to
spend an outing, and this facti bound
to be appreciated and taken advan-
tage of by tourists and pleasure-seek-
ers more and more every year. Mr..
Walker is one of those who is far
sighted enough to see this.

resort is completed all the boat busi-
ness will be transferred from the Lake.
view landing. This means that the
main boat landing for the lal'e busl-
ness is going to be within thr.. blocks
Of the center of the town, conven-
iencc which will be greatly apprcci-
ated by the people of the town, and
which will undoubtedly result in
much larger patronage for the lake
boats.
In addition to the boat house and
bungalow, it is Mr.. Walkers inten-
ton to build two modern cottages on
the land. The boat house is to be
equipped for repairing boats conven-
iently through the installation of
derrick, and a track running up from
the water into the building. This
will greatly facilitate the docking of
boats for repairs, or when it is wished
to remove them from the water for
any reason.

The examining board left Saturday for
Hillyard.
Engineer Chas. Smith was in town this
week from the Kalispell branch.
Brakemen Williamson and Jess Dewar
have been promoted to be freight con-
ductors.
Engineer r. A. Forcum has been pull
ing passenger on the west end for the
past week.
Clerk Bacon, in the assistant superin-
tendent's Office, has resigned his position
and expects to go to his home in Mime
sofa.
A number of new brakemen have been
put to work recently on account of in
creasing business. Some new tiremen
have also been put on. Business has
been extra good for the past two weeks
and everybody has been working full
time.
A party Of nine men, headed by G. F.
Barstow, came in from Minneapolis las.
night and went out on the Somers train
this morning. They are a part of the
Great Northern engineering corps, accor-
ding to current rumor, and will assist in
locating the work on the reservation.-Bee.

LOGS ARE BEING SENT
DOWN RIVER

The Somers Lumber Co. has at last re-
moved the logs which have for SO long
remained in the river above the dam,
and now boats may run up and down
the stream freely. The logs were run
through the gates in the dam and will be
floated down to Somers, Notwithstanding
they were within half mile of the mill
here, and were cut in this immediate vi
cinity. The only logs, evidently, that
will be sawed at the company's plant
here. are those in Whitefsh lake.
By opening the gates in the dam the
logs which were placed in the Whitefish
river last winter, or previous to that time,
are foated down the river, the water
being thus raised sufficiently to enable
the logs to pass over the shallow places.
1t was for this purpose, chiefly, that the
dam was built here, as the company owns
considerable timber tributary to the river.

CHANCE FOR RAILROAD
UP WHITEFlSH RIVER

People who are familiar with the coun-
try north OF Whitetish state that rail
road up the Whtefish river and thence
to the North fork of the Flathead river
could find an exceptionally good grade,
as there is low pass between the two
rivers north of this town.
1t is not probable that this route has
ever been pointed out to railroad officials,
and it might be good plan for the citi-
zens of Whitefish to look into the mat
ter.
j. A. Monk is one of the men who has
been over this country, and he gives it as
his opinion that the line would be more
feasible and would encounter less diff
culties than line up the North fork.
Not only could a better grade be secured,
but the distance would be shorter, it is
said.

w. o. W. MEETING

The Woodmen of the World have made
arrangements to meet hereafter in G. A.
Matthews new hail, and the next meet
ing of the lodge will be held there.
At this meeting the members of the

erary program, refreshments, and later a
social dance will be given.
