long before this place will be the
scene of great mining activities.

THAT SCHOOL
ENTERTAINMENT

now wants white strips on his
trousers.
Harold Gloyde brought down the
house when he recited 'When My
Pa Was Boy The PA" in the
case happens to be the principal of
the schools, and a joke seemed to
be on the professor Still every
father present seemed to think the
reflection was meant for him, and
said nothing.
The Old Bob Sled," sung by
Howard Babcock, the school join
ing in on the chorus revived men,
ories "of the long ago. 1t was
heartily encorcd, the response being
My Old Kentucky Home" 1t
goes without saying that the audi
ence was touched.
+! Harold Bohanan recitation You
Git Up" are very valuable adjuncts
to morning nap.
The Doll Show was very
nice. 1T was postponed so the
! judge said, and it was the only SEN
sible thing to do.
The song, 'The She'll" by girls
Of the fifth and sixth grades, was
very prettily rendered.
A game by children of the pri-
mary grades was a novel feature.
Its interest seemed to be Just some
thing different, you know"
The Scene in a Depot" brought
out talent that will compare very
favorably with professionals. Lillian
HYDE as ma" Jessie Monk as n
crusty station agent and Everett
Bardin as typical "up-country"
kid played their parts splendidly,
and created great amusement.
Lost Child, by Bernice Olsen,
was very nicely recited.
Choice of Trades by some 8
or 10 little boys of the third and
fourth grades was good.
The last recitation, "Patter on
the Shingles" was by Leo Dayly.
Leo did we'll.
The next number was a march
song by some eight or ten boys of
sixth grade. It was very good.
The last and, one the star features
of the evening, was the class drill
by twelve of the seventh and eighth
grade girls. Each was dressed
in white with a red sash, and
carried a red scarf, red and white,
being the class colors.
1t was closed by the May pole
dance, very pretty effect indeed
When the curtain dropped on this
last number, an audience estimated
by some at fully 600 souls, began to
disperse, satisfied that they had
witnessed a rare treat that can only
be equalled by children again.
Principal Gloyde informs us that
about $500 will be realized above
all expenses. This will be appor-
toned among the seven teachers
equally, to re spent in decorating
her room as she and her pupils may
see fit with let or hindrance.
Withal the undertaking was most
successful from every point of view,
and the teachers deserve great
credit. Our school is one of our
most valuable assets, and it's popu-
Iarity speaks for it's excellence.

A new HOTEL

A modern new hotel for Somers

templated bv our wide-awake neigh
Dor town on the lake shore. The
familiar old mansion which was used
in former years by John O'Brien,
when manager of the Somers Lum-
ber company will be remodeled SO fal
as necessary and converted into a
hostelery. The building has been
unoccupied of late, Mr.. Wells, the
present manager, making his home
in Kalispell. The building, which
it situated most beautifully upon an
eminence overlooking the lake and
surrounding farm lands, is splend-
idly finished, and especially adapt
ed for the purpose to which it will
be put.
The new institution will be gotten
in readiness at once, and will be
under the management of Mrs. John
Gordan, now of Poison, whose ex-
perience has been most successful
in the management of hotels in var
ious other places for some years
before coming to the Flathead. --Kal-
