Final compilations here of Fourth of
July disasters now show large re-
duction of deaths and casualties to
the credit of the "Sane Fourth" move
ment but an increase in fire losses. The
comparison stands:

These figures being necessarily com
parative, the amount of saving can
not be more than estimated. The rec
ord for this Fourth in the fire loss
columns does not agree with the gen.
eral reduction in fire waste which is
resulting from increasing cooperation
of municipal authorities in checking
this waste which falls upon insurance
companies first and then upon the pub

many years ago little was generally
known about the direct relation that
exists in insurance rates to conditions
under which the insuring is done, build

CLIMB UP AND TAKE A
LOOK DOWN

To people who like 'to walk, climb
mountains, look at fine scenery and COM
mune with Nature, one of the most in
teresting trips in this vicinity is climb
to the top of Lion mountain, just west of
town. From the Lakeview house to the
top, of the mountain is about two miles,
by the most direct route, and the climb
is not a very difficult one, although for
about a mile the mountain is quite steep.
From the summit, on clear day, one
can view the surrounding country, in
every direction, for many miles. The
whole Flathead valley is plainly visible,
including Flathead lake and many other
smaller lakes. The various towns in the
valley can also be SEEN To the east
west and north the view is none the less
interesting, although vastly different, for
the country is more mountainous and
largely covered with timber. A trip to
the top of Lion mountain is well worth
the climb.

w. G. T. U. MEETING

The W. G. 7. U. held its first regular
meeting at the home of Mrs. II. A. Shoaf
Tuesday afternoon. The work of the
union was mapped out for the members
and a form of constitution was voted
upon and accepted. 1t was decided that
the organization meet at the Methodist
church for the summer months or until
other arrangements could be made. This
organization is the fifth one of its kind
to be instituted in Flathead county and
will be known as the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union of Whitetish auxil-
larry to w. G. Il. L. OF the state of Mon
tana, and to the National w. c. T. U.
The next meeting will be held at the
church on Tuesday, May II, and full
attendance of all who joined and all who
wish to become members is greatly de-
sired. Any gentleman wishing to pay in
a dollar may become an honorary MEM
ber.

ACCIDENT AT LAUNCHING
CEREMONY

Robert Larter, the popular and genial
engineer, was forced to take his spring
bath just trine early this year, by fall
ing into the lake last Sunday. 'Bob"
was assisting in the launching of r. A..
Edmonson's new boat, and had stepped
into canoe to shove alongside the big
boat so as to be able to give hand,
when the treacherous canoe turned over
and "Bob' went to the bottom with a
splash. And the band played on.
Either DR.. Tillett or Roy Eberly can
best describe just how Mr.. Larter reach
the shore, and will gladly furnish the
other details connected with the happen

NEW ALDERMEN TAKE
OFFICE

The regular meeting of the town coun-
Gil was held OH Monday evening with all
members present, including the newly
elected aldermen, Ed McConville of the
Third ward, Harry B. Sharar of the
Second ward, and J. II. McCabe, who
was appointed to fill the unexpired term
of Alderman Riach of the Third ward.
Mayor Snyder made few well-chosen
remarks to Alderman Geddes upon that
gentleman's retiring, and the council ex-
tended him vote of thanks for his ef-
ficient service during his term as alder
man. Mr.. Geddes has been an untiring
worker for the good of the town and his
ward, and was always on the moral side
of any question which was ever brought
up in the council, and the town loses one
of Its best officers upon his retirement.
Considerable work is to be done this
summer upon the streets, and the COM
mittee was authorized to buy scrapers to
do the work with, including one wheel
scraper. The bridge at Lakeside, which
has been out of commission for some
time, will be rebuilt and numerous other
improvements will be made.
The matter of establishing street grades
on the main thoroughfare was discussed,
and finally left to the street committee
with power to act The fire committee
was instructed to make an invoice of the
fire department and report.
The health committee was instructed
to investigate the matter of cemetery
site.

BOWLERS MAY PLAY
WITH EUREKA

There is some talk of organizing box
ball bowling clubs in Whitefish and
Eureka, and then having the two clubs
play series of games. Whitefish has q
number of bowlers who have expressed
themselves as favorable to such an ar
rangement, and it is understood that the
same is true at Eureka.
The first OF the series of games will
probably be played in Eureka. Kestel
& Micho, who own bowling alleys in both
places, will put up prize tor the win
ming team.

LITTLE BUYS DRAY AND
LIVERY BUSINESS

A deal has been closed whereby j. C.
Little takes over the dray and livery bus
mess heretofore conducted by F. L.
Baker, and Mr.. Little will now remain
in Whitetish, instead of going to Canada,
as was his intention.
Some time ago Mr.. Little sold his barn

but he has now bought it back, and with
it Mr.. Bakers other interests in this line.

who runs through Whitefsh. is the COM
poser of new song entitled, "Twas
Jim Who Held the Throttle" a compli-
mentary copy Of which has reached The

work.
Freight traffic has increased wonder
fully over the Billings & Northern during
the past two months, and indications
point to still greater increase. With
the through trains between Kansas City
and the coast, passenger traffic will be
very great. More people will be brought
into the northwest during this year than
in any year i'll the history of the country.
This will be due in part to the Alaskan
Yukon-Pacific exposition at Seattle, but
besides this, there is large natural
movement of people westward. Great

ORYS OF GEORGIA AGAIN FIGHT
Liquor War Breaks Out Once More.
Alexander Bill CaSus Bell.
Atlanta, July 23.-When the legls

Atlanta, July 23.-When the legls-
lature adjourned this afternoon, 1t
was evident that the prohibition fight,
which every one thought was Stllled
two years ago, had broken out once
more and that the battle would have
to be fought all over again. The anti
prohibitionists openly declared in IA
vor of fibusters during the remaining
20 days Of the session. The drys
forced through a resolution calling the
daily sessions at 9 a. NJ. instead Of 10,
and they declare tonight that unless
the new dry legislation is passed
promptly at this session, they will
force an extra session to accomplish
their purpose.
A new feature of the row is a prom
ise extracted from Gov. Brown, be-
fore his election, by which he pledged
himself to veto any liquor legislation.
At that time the prohibitionists did
rot dream Of more stringent dry laws
but were endeavoring to fight against
any measures introduced by the vets.
The ethical question as to whether
Gov. Brown can sign the new bill IS
exciting much discussion and even the
drys are divided over it.
The bill which is causing all the
trouble is the one drawn by Repre-
sentative Hooper Alexander of De-
Kalb county, making it illegal to buy,
sell or possess any liquid beverage
which contains even trace OF alcohol.
It is aimed at the sale Of beer and
near-beer under a decision OF the
courts that to be intoxicating liquor
must contain more than 4 per cent.
Of alcohol. The prohibition law en-
acted two years ago merely prohibited
the sale of Intoxicating liquors with
out specifying what was intoxicating.
An attempt to put the bill upon its
second reading was prevented by
Representative Ellis Of Bibb county,
who held the floor until the time for
adjournment. Meantime, Representa-
tives Alexander and Anderson nearly
came to blows upon the floor but we're
separated by friends.
The renewal of the quarrel has at
tracted the representatives of both
sides to the scene and the battle Is
now on. The drys frankly say that
the time for absolute prohibition has
arrived.

In the Cause Of Good Teeth.
New York World.

New York WOrlG.
Rude dentistry was practiced at
least two centuries before the opening
of the Christian era. Scientific den-
tistry is a development Of the last
century. Proper appreciation Of the
teeth is quality yet to be thoroughly
cultivated among the masses even OF
civilized nations. There is fresh and
startling proof of its lack IN the re-
port following the recent examination
of nearly 500 school children from the
tenements of New York.
Only IA Of these young pupils were
found with sound teeth. There we're
2,80S unsound teeth among the $50
children. But 25 Of the lot had re-
:ceived dental attention in other form
than by extraction. The boys and girls
examined were Of the number who
have applied for permits to leave
school and 60 to work. Assuming that
they fairly represent in their dental
condition the large part Of the hum
bier school army. a tremendous field
is revealed for the work Of the philan-
,thropic clinic and for campaign OF
education among parents.
Bad teeth are not bad for them
selves alone. They influence the gen-
eral health and affect depressinely the
vitality Of their possessors. In Ger
many insurance companies find It we'll
to look after the mouths Of their eli
ents. Among the best physicians ev-
erywhere the importance is now un-
derstood of taking the teeth into con-
sideration in the work Of diagnosis
and prescription.

Cotton Producers the Worst Bears
When They Should Bull the
Market.

We now hear of some farmers SELL
ing their cotton for future delivery
in October or November. At first the
buvers enter the field offering ten
cents. They bought what they could
at that price, then they offered 10 l-2,
and bought what they could up to the
present, and are now offering II cents
for it. Why does the farmer do this!
It is because he does not think and
use good business judgment. He
should realize at once that this is a
game Of the speculation to defeat the
objects of the Farmers union. The
farmers should realize at once that
the speculator knows that cotton Will
be worth more in October and Novem-
Der than be is paying for it now.
With the bright outlook for cotton
the coming season to go very much
higher, why should any farmer act
with such little judgment? Why did
cotton take a tumble on Friday last
on boil weevil report? One Of Price s
tricks to catch the suckers. They had
been taking the bait and the boil wee
vii report was all he wanted to catch
them with. Any one with common
sense ought to know that when the
weather gets so hot and dry enough
to kill the boil weevil that it will Kill
cotton also. Telegraph reports on the
18th of July states that the drought
stricken sections of five millions OF
acres in Texas has had practically no
relief, and conditions are serious.
Rain must come in the next few days
or it will be too late. The world gener-
allv does not realize that this crop is
getting such a backward start. Its
powers of recuperation from this
time on are very limited and we are
practically up to the period where the
drv, hot weather of July and August
will set in and find the tiny, sappy,
dwarfish plant is in no condition to
stand the trials Of the heat.
Brother farmers, just remember II
it rains in the drought-stricken dis
-ricts in Texas to revive the cotton
plant. the boil weevil will revive IL
proportion to the cotton and II the
heated term still stays to lO4 AMI i'1>
70 1OS degrees of heat, cotton and boll
weevil will suffer alike.
Brother farmers, no need to be
alarmed. You have the best position
in this fight. The man who has SOLD
his cotton for October and November
delivery will ever regret his mistake:
Now let's see why he is able to sell
for October and November delivery.
This was never heard Of before the
organization of the Farmers t'duea-
-;onal and Cooperative 2lon OF
America. This within itself should
stimulate every farmer to JOIN TINS

!ut achieved 10 lis 1ullcs; extent lis
aims and objects? 1t is because Of
the great ignorance Of the farmers
themselves. But | am proud to say
that day by day the Farmers Educa-
tional and Cooperative Union of
America is growing stronger and
Stronger, and being better fortified to
free themselves of the great burden OF
speculation. [ am proud to say that
the farmers are beginning to learn
some valuable lessons through the
teachings Of the Farmers Educational
and Cooperative Union Of America.
It's power is being felt not only IN his
country alone. but all over the world.
I would to God the farmer could
realize the power he has, as the world
sees it for him. I am proud to say that
the cloud of mist is being rolled away
through this great organization, and
sunshine and brightness-is beginning
to peep through. The farmer is be-
ginning to see that help must come
through his own personal efforts, and
that there is help for him through or
ganization. cooperation and diversi-
fcation of crops. This is the greatest
lesson for him to learn, and when this
is learned success is his.
am proud to say that the farmers
did cut acreage this year one and
one-half million acres, and planted an
increase Of food crops. I want to tell
YOU, brother farmers. this cutting Of
acreage is helping to make the price
Of cotton to-day more than it is get
ting credit for.
Why will cotton producers raise
thirteen million bales Of cotton when
they know they can get as much mon
ey for ten million bales as they can
for thirteen million? It seems to me
that no sane person would do such
business as this. IF a manufacturer,
BY stopping one-third Of his looms,
could make as much money as by
running the whole he would stop that
one-third at once
Brother farmers, I do not want YOU
to forget that you have a valuable
crop in your cotton seed, and just
recollect and keep one eye on them
until the price gets right. IF You do
let your seed 60 be sure and know
what YOU will have to give for your
meal before letting them go.
I want to call your attention that
August, 1909, as the month to be-
gin fixing a price for 1910 cotton
crop by preparing to SOW down
large acreage Of oats and wheat, also
SOW plenty Of winter cover crops,
and grow your nitrogen in the soil.
One dollar and fifty cents worth OF
Crimson clover seed sown on an acre
of your cotton land about the hf-
teenth Of September will grow into
your soil thirty dollars worth Of MI
trogen. Think what an investment
for $50! Also SOW one and a half
bushels Of oats with thlrty-hve
pounds OF hairy vetch per acre. and
YOU raise an abundant supply Of nice
hay which will be ready to cut about
June 1st. If you have never tried
the above begin by trying few acres
this year. and you will not stop until
YOU SOW many, many acres in the fu-
ture. Just remember hog and hon.
inv is the keynote Of the situation.
