PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES.

Miss Gayle Falk, Of Black Hawk
entered high school on Tuesday.
The Alpha Zeta's gave an inter- O..
Ding program Friday afternoon. A
number Of persons attended in order
to hear and criticize the debate for
the benefit of the debaters and were
agreeably surprised at the progress
the boys have been making. The de-
bate, although on a dry subject was
warmly contested ard in an interest
ing way. A feature Of the program
was the Senior class prophecy by .ae
juniors. Each Senior was presented
with monster yellow Ounce cap and
with a tastefully decorated bag of
sand with the compliments of the
juniors. The average scholarship of
the present graduating cla.S Is so far
above that of classes for several
years past that the Seniors feel the
sol.citude of the JURORS to be en-
tirely unnecessary and it is probable
that the Juniors will be happily re-
mcmbered in the Seniors will"

OVER $4,000
IN ONE WEEK

That Whitefish is an important
point and that considerable busi-
ness is transacted here is evidenced
by the fact that SO, 1884 in mon-
ey orders were issued during the
last week in June by Postmaster
Dodds.
Three thousand and thirty-six
letters were registered during the
past fiscal year, as against 1,945
the previous year. showing large
increase over former business.
The showing is second only to
Kalispell, and according to alleged
is away ahead of the
postoffice business of that city, be-
ing over three-fifths of the amount
registered there.

Mind Unbalanced.

j. J. Kerr, of Pittsburg, Pa,
was taken off the train at this place
Sunday evening by Marshal Met
calf, his strange actions being the
cause for his detention.
He was placed in the town bas-
tile over night and the next morn
ing, after a hearing, he was taken
to Kalispell and placed in the
county Jail for safe keeping until
his friends can be communicated
with.
He was led to believe that he
was being taken back to his home
in Pittsburg, as that seemed to be
the only way they could keep his
mind off the flair SEX" that be-
ing the hobby on which he was
"dippy."
Just why Kalispell looked like
Pittsburg to him is not clear. but
suppose it was because the smoke
had not cleared up from the last
baseball battle.

WHITEFISH REGULARS
vs.. LINDHE TEAM

On account of the non arrival of the
Spokane team which was scheduled
to play here Sunday an informal
game was played between the
Whitefsh regulars and the Lindhe
team with a score of 8 to 10 in
favor of the Lindhe ''fellers. -
While some of the regulars were
absent and substitutes had to be
played to make up the team, the
friendly bout furnished amusement
for our local fans.
No gate receipts were taken, but
a lid' was passed to which a lib
eral amount was tipped in.

LOSE LIVES
IN LAKE

A row boat containing three men,
John A. Qualey, Kanute Dahl and
Fred Reffling, capsized in White
fish lake just south of Vista last
Sunday evening, and two of the oc-
cupants, Qualey and Dahl were
drowned, Reffling clir.ging to the
boat, was picked up by the crew Of
passing launch.
Their bodies were found the l'ext
morning in about 60 feet of water,
Qualey being only 80 feet from the
shore, while Dahl's body was about
!. 65 yards out.
Weston, -Averill and Roy, who
are ex-sailors, accompanied by l.
B. Willoughby, dragged the bottom
of the lake in the vicinity of the
accident and soon raised the bodies,
although but little hopes were en-
tertained they could be recovered, :,
as the lake is very deep in places
near where the drowning took place.
Both the victims of the accident
were 38 years of age, and tailors
by trade, employed by w. C. Nc
Kelvy in the merchant-tailoring es-
tablishment of the J. F. Lindhe Co.
A brother of Dahl, who lives in
Spokane, was communicated with,
and he arrived Tuesday evening
and took charge of the remains,
which we're taken to Kalispell yes
terday for burial, We understand
he was a single man and had no
one dependent on him fo. support
But the case of Qualey is es-
pecially sad, as he leaves a wife
and four little children without
means of support. Funeral services
were held at the Presbyterian
church yesterday, after which his
remains were taken to Columbia
Falls and buried in the Soldiers
Home cemetery, he being a veteran
OF the Spanish h-American war.

Big Gate Receipts.

Reno, July ST. don't know
how much money we took in, the
bank had not finished counting it,
but figure we will clear 500, 900
in gross receipts, besides our inter-
est in the pictures. There were
10000 people in the arena. The
seating capacity was a little over
$4,000. All the seats but a few
were solg, and a couple of thousand
stood up arounfl the upper rim of
the arena. We still hold sixth
interest in the pictures. We sold a
sixth before the fight for $33, 1888.
AS it now stands, neither johnson
nor jeff now has any interest in
the pictures. jeff sold his for
$685. and Johnson gets $4,000
for his.'
Commenting on the fight Rickard
said that jeff was too slow and had
no snap left. He said if Johnson
had attempted to hit jeff after the
white man was helpless he would
have stopped the fight.

HELP THE WIDOW
AND ORPHANS

The distressing accident on the
lake last Sunday cut short the lives
of two of our citizens.
One of them left no care behind
him, the other left weeping wild
ow with four young and helpless
children.
A very commendable move has
been made by some of our citizens
to raise,a cash fund to help the un-
fortunate woman to care for her
children.
The writer knows the family as
neighbors and can truthfully say
that they are worthy of the respect
and confidence of the community.
In times of past trouble the moth
er showed the sterling qualities of
heart and brain, her high ideals of
truth and honesty and honor, and
now in this her hour of sorrow we
can smooth down the burrows of
the path of life for our more un-
fortunate sister.
Subscription lists are at the
stores of c. A. Matthews, Smith,
the candy man, the pool room OF
Graves Bros, Doods & Sharar and

Let us make up such purse as
will wipe away the tears of sorrow
and bring gladness to the heart of
the mother, and food and clothing
and shelter to the orphan children.

PUGILIST OF WORLD D

We presume that the most of our
readers are already aware the re-

fries and Johnson on the 4th of
July, but the fact that there may
I've some one who has not recovered
sufficiently from the celebration of
the glorious national holiday to
have a very clear conception OF
what took place, we will put it on
record that jeff was put out in the
18th round, and the black man
now holds the laurels for being the
champion of the worlds heavy

TO BECOME
GRAZING LAND

That this section will become
grazing region while waiting for
the gradual but certain transform
ing into fruit raising country lis
conceded by all of the best author
ity on such matters.
The stump land that has been
lying idle since the timber was tax
en- of is now being utilized for
grazing.
Only last week a carload of sheep
was brought in here from Washing
ton, where the periodical drouths
makes sheep raising a hazardous
industry.
At this end of Flathead Valley
where pasturage is always excellent
cattle and sheep raisers will find
that nature will put on the finish
ing touches with but little expense.
The Baker Bros. expect to bring
in large band of sheep from the
dry farming region east of the
Rockies to fatten on the luxuriant
pasturage to be found here.
That this section is blessed with
bOuntiful natural resources beyond
the dreams of the most optimistic
is fact which none but the con-
firmed pessimistic chronic would
dare to question.

OIL BURNERS TO
CHECK FOREST FIRES

The Northern Pacific shops at
South Tacoma have turned out a
score of engines which have been
converted from coal to oil burners.
All the locomotives operated by the
Northern Pacific between Puget
Sound and Portland will burn oil
to obviate the possibility Of forest
fires. In that territory the North
ern Pacific tracks extend through
heavily wooded sections, and the
elimination of the danger Of start
ing forest fires therefore is a matter
of great Importance to the railroad
company and to property owners.
The tenders of passenger engines
are built to carry three thousand
gallons of oil, sufficient for trip
between Tacoma and Portland.

The Outlook

G.. w. Avery made an extended
trip through the farm country
south of Columbia Falls a few days
ago. Concerning the outlook for
crop he had this t. say to a rep
resentative of the Pilot.
1t cannot be said truthfully that
the continued dry weather has not
had serious effect on the crops
but it would be far from the truth
to say that the crops are a failure
Many fields of winter wheat will
weld good crop without any more
rain and many of them will yield
a fair crop, and none passed on
the trip will be a failure.
Hay is decidedly short and it is
too late for rains to make up much
of the shortage.
Spring wheat and oats are suffer
ing badly for rain, but favorable
weather in the month Of July viii
make fair yield.
Potatoes are promising we'll ano
with good cultivation will make 8
good yield.
Some excellent fields of corn
were passed and all were looking
strong and healthy. Notwithstand.
ing the unfavorable weather in the
spring fruit is loaking well. Cher.
ries, currants, gooseberries, straw.
berries and raspberries are now be.
ing picked and the yield is quite
satisfactory.

MEETS DEATH
ON The RAILS

Anton Gunderson, a rancher liv-
ing near LaSalle, was run over by
the Kalispell ''dinkey" last Thurs
day night and ground to death be-
meath the wheels.
He had gotten off the north
bound train at LaSalle, and had
probably started along the track to
his ranch from that place and had
laid down on the track, when the
south bound train ran over him.
1t was the old story of too much
JOY water.

Hoping that it might be of inter
est as news item, l planned to
call on you today in regard to the
opening of the Belton Chalet. Mr..
McGaughey, who was here last
night, is quite enthusiastic over the
possibilities of the house as place
of entertainment and suggests that
the people of the neighboring towns
would he interested in knowing
about it.
The house is built of the best ma
terial. The style of architecture is
of the Swiss mountain type, the
furniture is Of oak, it is lighted by
gas made on the premises, the wat
er supply is both unique AMI costly
in the method taken to insure it's
purity, being percolated through a
filter of washed sand and gravel
laid in concrete trench $50 feet
long by 25 feet deep and 5 feet
wide into concrete we'll and from
there pumped through the house
and grounds by a gasoline engine.
The staff are all white people from
St. Paul and are under the direc-
ton of c. L. Pratt, superintendent
OF the Great Northern dining cars.
The supplies will be all from the
Flathead Valley, in line with the
Great Northern policy of demon
strating the resources of the coun-
try along it's line.
The rates are 50 per day Ameri-
ican plan. The impression has
gotten abroad that the rates will be
81 or over, but this is a mistake;
50 entities everyone to all there is
, in the big show including the side
shows.

II Was a S0aker.

Although rain had fallen nearly
every day this week, and some good
showers, too, it was not until yes
terday that we got what stockmen
and farmers alike had been praying
fora deluge that would fill up the
lakes and watering holes of the
country.
The rain of yesterday did the
business. In the space Of less than
three hours more than an inch of
water had fallen and every low spot
of ground in the country was a
lake or raging torrent.
The rain covered a wide expanse
of country, and has infused new
life, energy and confidence into the
hearts of the people. In parts
where little rain had fallen, altho
crops were growing and looking
well, the farmer was beginning to
ask himself how much longer they
would hold out.
This is all changed now. He is
wearing a contented smile and is
firm in the belief that this is the
most wonderfully great agricultural
country on earth. Shelby News.
