That music has no small part in the
work of the mission was Indicated at
the meeting when the special hymns,
prepared purposely for this party, were

are singing as if their salvation de-
pended upon it.
But there are other singers besides

The horticultural and agricultural pos

necessary for successful farming. 1t was
also brought out that there was lots of
land suitable for dairying purposes avail

SCHOOL NOTES

The following members of the eighth

Swanson, Everett Bardin, Florence
Fluaitt and Edith Spraguc.
The literary programs daily rendered
at the afternoon opening exercises for

The accomplishment of singing is being
instilled, at least fostered, in the pupils
of all grades. Some sweet little singers

sixth grades.
No program has been arranged for the
Patrons meeting that was hinted to take
place this Friday (tonight) evening, con-
sequently there will be no meeting.
An article in the Journal of Education
of recent date contains the following
food for reflection: A gentleman on

business man of one of our western
states congratulated him on his success

ELECTRIC LIGHT PEOPLE
WILL BUILD

That Whitefish is to have a new brick
building seems now an assured fact. A
contract has been entered into by the
Big Bend Light and Power Co., with the
Flathead Water Power Co., whereby
the latter will furnish the Whitefish
lighting plant with electricity. This
means doing away with the plant now in
operation, and necessitates the building
of a substantial brick building for local
sub-station.
Under the new arrangements a con-
tinuous electric service can be furnished
both day and night, and the arrange
ment is looked upon with favor by a
number who want motor power during
the day. During Mr.. Enloe's visit here
this week he completed all arrangements
with the exception of suitable location
for building, and this will be decided
upon shortly, and active work on the
new building will be started as soon as
the weather will permit.

MORE RAILROADS FOR
FLATHEAD

Here is the latest railroad story affect
ing the Flathead, and it is given for
what it is worth. 1t works in 80 exactly
with all the information that has come
from time to time that it has the ap-
pearance of probability. Still, it is not
given as anything except an interesting
contribution to the going talk of railroads.
]. w. Mcknight came in yesterday
from Spokane, and he said he had re-
Gently had long talk with prominent
contractor who does great deal of work
for the Great Northern, and discussed the
Somers-Dixon branch matter with him.
The contractor said the road is to be built,
and built soon, and that the reason for
doing it at this time is that the Great
Northern people have become convinced
that other roads are to invade this terri
tory, and the G. N. does not wish to
have any other road get hold of its SUR
vey down the east side of the lake. 1t
was, according to the contractor, case
of being driven to building to hold the
territory.
He stated that information coming to
the Great Northern officials is to the eff
feet that the Milwaukee has entered into
partial agreement with the Canadian
Pacific by which it will secure access to
the big Crows Nest coal fields, just across
the border. The plan is believed to be
that the Canadian Pacific will build down
the North Fork to kalispell, and from
here swing west to Bonners Ferry, con-
Meeting there with their line to Spokane.
The Milwaukee will build here from some
point near Missoula, and connect with
the Canadian Pacific.
Whether or not there is anything in
this, it fits previous declarations like a
glove. 1t is known that D. G. Corbin,
for the Canadian Pacific, has secured a
charter to build to the boundary on the
North Fork, and it has been stated MANY
times that the road would be extended
on south. High officials of the Milwaukee,
when questioned about branches, stated
that nothing whatever would be done
until the main line to the coast is COM
pleted, but that when that was off their
hands, attention would be devoted to
feeders, and a branch into the Flathead
would be one of the first undertaken.
The coast line will be completed and
trains running through to Seattle within
the next two or three months.
Perhaps there are to be more roads
than the one to the south built.-Inter
Lake.

cussed, but finally referred to the water
committee with instructions to report
back to the council
The street committee reported in favor
OF allowing the placing of electric signs
extending across sidewalks if properly
