offered in their own fields In Mis-
soula there are lots of these good peo-
pie and, while there is now ana then
one Of them who goes back, most Of

spot in their hearts for the old state
back amongst the lakes and there are
many local papers which come from
those towns to Mssoula every week
telling Of the doings of the folks at
home. one of these papers-the Grand
Haven Courier Journal-reached here
yesterday and an item which appears

Yesterday morning the bulletin from
the sick room of Pat Donovan was not
encouraging; the old
DONOVAN fellow had had a bad
IMPROVES. night and his condition
during the forenoon was
regarded as unfaVorable in the eX-
IRENE. But in the afternoon there was
decided rally and last night 1t was
said that the chances for his recovery
were much improved. This was good
news to the friends who have been
watching the struggle which the sturdy
old man has been making against dis
ease. Il believe Pat will get well now
was the comment of one of his friends
last night, Il was permitted to see
him for a minute this afternoon and he
was certainly better than he was the
day before. He has a great consti-
tuition and his will is strong. He is
putting up great fight and | think
the chances tonight are in his favor
c. II. Mcleod has returned from
visit of a week in Kalispell and the
neighboring country
kALISPEL- and he is well pleased
is LIVELY with the conditions in
the Flathead "Kalspell
is lively" said Mr. Mcleod yesterday
to a Missoulian reporter. "The town
is growing fast and the people are
working hard for their city. 1t is
great country that centors in Kalis-
pell and it's development has only just
begun There are some magnificent
farms up there and the number of
them increases each year | was in
terested in the work that the chamber
of commerce is doing up there: the
Kalispell people are well organized for
the work of advertising their city and
they are overlooking nothing that will
contribute to the success of their val
ley The th-and south railway
which will be built across the reserva-
ton will be great thing for Kalispell
as it will place the town in closer
communication with the other cities of
western Montana; especially will 1t
promote the business relations between
MisSoula and KaliSpell, which will be
good thing for both towns. This
line will be one of the important items
in our growth here"
