NO WOODEN PIPES
FOR KALISPELL

By order of the mayor the city
council was convened Wednesday
night to take final action on the
attempt of the water company to
substitute wire-wrapped wooden
pipe for the from pipes arbitrarily
provided for in the water works or
dinance. Notwithstanding the
openly expressed objections OF fully
80 per cent of the people to the
wooden pipes, the council only
arrived at a conclusion after study
ing the experience and recommen-
dations of a dozen northwestern
cities concerning wooden pipes.
With very little debate Wednesday
night, the proposition of the water
company was disposed of and Man
ager Farrar was notified to remove
the pipe from the surface and level
up the diggings which had already
been attempted on Main street.

MONTANA AND
GRAIN SUPPLY

Below will be found figures that
are gathered from the government
statistics which will seem astound-
ing even to native of Montana.
Montana has 30, 900, 600 acres of
arabic land that is being brought
under cultivation.
The state for ten years past, has
yielded, as the average per acre.
26.7 bushels wheat, 40 bushels oats,
1876 bushels barley.
If the Montana acreage were put
into wheat, at the average yield for
the state, it would produce SOC, 600
600 bushels.
If put into oats, at the average
yield for the state, it would pro-
duce ,47O, OOO,O 900 bushels.
| If put into barley, at the average
yield for the state, it would mean a
productive possibility of 1 1853, OOO,-
600 bushels.
If the Montana acreage were put
into one grain, and the yields were
only as great as the average for the
United States as whole, the pro-
ductive possibility would be:
Wheat, Ala 900, 900 bushels; oats,
III 200, 900 bushels; barley, 714,-
10000 bushels.
|. The yield per acre for Montana
wheat, 26.7 bushels, for ten years
past is the highest of any state. 1t
was twice as high as the average for
the entire country, and far greater
than Russia or France.
The yield per acre for Montana
oats is the highest in the world, ex-
cepting only Belgium. At 40 BUSH
els it is more than double that of
the United States as a whole.
In barley, Montana, with 1876
bushels, shows an acreage yield the
greatest in the world, excepting
Belgium, and nearly double that of
the United States as a whole.
Montana averages IT'S bushels Of
potatoes to the acre.

$50 ENUMERATORS
FOR MONTANA

The enormous increase in the
population Of Montana has induced
the director Of census to authorize
the appointment of $50 enumerat-
ors to take the count Of the popula-
ton of this state next April. The
census of 1900 was taken by only
234 enumerators. Montana is one
of the new states in which a heavy
increase has been made in the allot-
ment of enumerators. All the
enumerators will be appointed on
the recommendation of the state
supervisor.

landmarks that is the property of the

The people of this valley repaired
the damage done by the earthquake.
The rains of last spring salmost de-
molished the entire structure. 1t is
more than the people of one small place
can undertake. We read with interest
the glowing words of various writers
about our old missions. We listen to
word pictures by lecturers and we are
all enthused and this, the most i'm
portant of all the Missions is fast be-
coming a heap of dirt. Not rich. never
rich, but important in that it formed
a bulwark against the encroachment
of Russia Fort Ross is not far from
Sonoma, and any one who has ever
ben in this beautiful valley knows
that had the Russian commander ridden

California might have been more dearly
bought than from Spain.
