100000 CRAWLING
PLANTED IN LAKE

Il. X. Grantier and H. C. Ander-
son went to Columbia Falls Friday
night on No. Al and met the state
fish car and secured $50, 900 gray
ling fry which were brought to
Whltefish on No. 43, and met at
the station by Guy Campbell, who
donated his services and team to
haul the cans of fish to Lakeside
where they were dumped into
Whitefish lake in the wee small
hours of the morning.
The fish car was taken off the
train at Columbia Falls and went
to kalispell with a large number of
the baby fish that were planted in
the streams and lakes in that vi
cinity.
The young fish are shipped in
large tin cans, similar to milk cans.
Win ventilated covers, and the car
that is especially constructed for
transporting these cans was pre-
sented to the state by the B. A. and
+. R'y. 1t contains all the appli-
ances for keeping the water in the
cans at an even temperature, and
in condition so that they can sur
vive the long trips from Anaconda
to the remote water of the Flathead.
The little fellows are only half an
inch long, mostly head, and were
all very spry and in healthy con-
dition when they arrived here, SO
IN a few years more we ought to be
catching grayling as well as trout.

FAST MAIL COL
LIDES WITH FREIGHT

Train No. % collidcd with the
mind end Of a freight train al
Yantic last Saturday and did con-
siderable damage, but no one was
hurt. The freight had entered the
siding at that place, but the caboose
was not pulled in the clear of the
main line, and no one was left out
to flag, so when No. 2S came along
it had no warning and plowed right
into it. The engineer made every
effort to stop and then he and his
fireman jumped escaping with
scratches and bruises. The caboose
was smashed to kindling wood, but
there was no one in it, so none of
the train crew were injured.

A BAD ENDING.

hdlISpcll SoC TWO games OuC Ol
the three that was played in Kalis-
pell Sunday, Monday and Tuesday,
which wound up in one grand
wrangling match. The feeling be-.
tween these two teams has now
grown 50 strong that it would be
better if they would not play to-
gether for a time, as Kalispell feels
SO put out about loosing the way it
has to > stump town." that some OF
these days something desperate
might happen.
Sunday the Kalispell people were
all up in arms against Whitcfish on
account of a close decision that the
umpire rendered in favor of White
fish, but they surely evened things
up Tuesday when they had their
own umpire, who was the rankest
ever. Kalispcll had evidently made
up their mind that they were going
to get that series by fair or foul
means, and they succeeded alright,
without any credit to themselves as
every neutral person admitted.
Sundays score was to 6 in
Whitefsh's favor. Monday Kalis-
pell got the game at 4 to 1. There
was so much dissatisfaction on the
part of Kalispell that they would
not allow Walton to umpire the
game, and put up an umpire of
their own, who was inexperienced
in the business, and his decisions
were so rank that both sides had a
big kick coming.
The climax was reached in Tues
days game. 1t was the old story
about the umpire. His decisions
were so rank that it could be plain
ly seen that Whitefsh would. stand
no show at all. If Kalispell had
any kick coming Sunday, Whitefsh
was certainly entitled to all the
kicking they did Tuesday, as it
looked like Il deliberate steal. The
boys stood it as long as they could
until the sixth inning, when Kalis-
pell disregarded their own ground
rules, which let in two scores. This
was too much, so Coins gave up
the game there and refused to play
it out, but before he left the
grounds he issued a challenge to
Kalispell that he would play them
any time they wanted to on their own
grounds, with Il neutral umpire, for
purse of $500. 1t is not known
yet whether this challenge will be
accepted.

TRAMPS TO CLEAN

future consideration.
During the past few weeks the
city has been infested with a great
many of the travelling fraternity,
men who make practice of roam
ing from place to place and have
no desire to work at all. Then
there are a great number who have
come down from the grading camps
with little stake, that would get
drunk the first thing and make
themselves obnoxious about the
streets by using profane language
and fighting. The officers have
been busy rounding these up, and
the Jail has never been empty for
three weeks. They have all re-
ceived a fine or a hoater out of
town, but most of them have no
money and if floated out they are
back in again in a short time, and
if thew are kept in Jail it is a drain
on the city or county to keep them.
Mayor Mayfeld suggested that any
one who was arrested for vagrancv
in the future be put to work for the
city cleaning the stumps out of the
streets and alleys. He thinks that
this will be practical way of deal
ing with the tramp problem and it
will not be very long before White
fish will have a reputation among
the travelling fraternity that will
reach to all four corners Of the
globe. and those who shun work
will give this town wide berth.
This suggestion met with the
approval of all the councilmen and
the city marshal was instructed to
round up all the weary willies"
he could find and put them to work
on the stumps at once, with man
to guard them if necessary. If
they refused to work to put them
in Jail on a bread and water diet.
A motion was passed that the
Fourth of July celebration was t0
be confined to one day only, and
anyone caught discharging any
kind of explosives previous or after
that date will be prosecuted. The
boys with the cap pistols are espe-
cially warned. At the suggestion
OF the mayor motion was made
that in the future Whitefsh should
nave sane" Fourth, and no
dangerous explosives will be al
lowed. This year several of the
merchants already had their fire
works in and they did not want to
work a hardship on them, but next
year no merchant will be allowed
to sell any of the dangerous ex-
plosives.
On account of the long hours
that the police officers have put in
at this time of the year, working
from II to Is hours per day, com
pared to other towns where they
only have to work 8 or 10 hours,
the council agreed to allow them
$15 more per month for the over
time that they put in.

ANSSNiN A'OItIiiv ulCCtIlISo VI UllC
town council held Monday evening.
The mayor and all cOuncilmen
present. The treasurer's report
for the past month was read and
showed cash on hand of S2653 %,
which is about $500 less than last
month, due to the great amount of
street work that has been done.
The yearly report of the treasurer
was also read and showed that the
town was quite bit better off
financially this year than it was
last.
The police magistrate did a land
Office business during the month Of
May. There were 1926 special
fines, $50 police court and SIG
collected by him for dog tax This
does not include all the dog tax
as the marshall had collected the
greater part of it.
The matter of securing a dump
ing ground is one of the hardest
propositions the council has been
up against for some time. They
have been trying for the past two
months to get q suitable place to
dump the garbage and refuse from
the town, but the committee to
procure such piece of ground have
not yet succeeded in doing so. 1t
is the intention of the council to
purchase about 5 acres if it can be
Rotten about the right distance
from town and at, a, reasonable
price.
Ordinance No. SO, granting a
franchise to the Whitefish Poison
Electric Railway company was
passed on it's final e"ding. Or
finance No. 60, creating special
Improvement district No. 2, which
;alls for the grading of O'Brien
avenue between Third and Fourth
treet, was finally passed.
The bill of F. E. Marsh for $500
or establishing street grades thru
put the town and making profiles
t same was ordered paid, as the
york had been completed to the
abstraction of the council.
The question of the city furnish
hg water to the Riverside addi-
ion was again brought up and
iscussed at length. The water
Fagon does not run now and the
uestion of water is getting to be a
erious matter with the people in
hat section. The council is willing
let them have the water, but
here are little technical matters in
pw that are holding the PROPOSE
on up. AS soon as these diff
llties can be overcome, the town
i'll extend the mains up to the
ty limits. An effort has been
lade to annex the Riverside addi-
on to the town, but this cannot be
one as it is not contiguous to the
)wn, there being a narrow strip
Pout 300 feet wide separating the
20. The clerk was instructed to
Ike this matter up with the Town
tie company to get permission to
" the water main across this strip.
The piece of sidewalk on Lupfer
Fenue, in front Of lots 3, 4 5, 6,
and 8 was condemned on account
being in bad condition, and was
|dered taken out and to be re-
aced by new one. A new side
pix was ordered built on the east
lie OF Baker avenue between Rail-
hy street and Second street.
The night watchman was given
structions to keep tab on the
rect lights and report any that
not kept burning.
The stump ordinance came up
ain, but there was only one bid
ed with the clerk for their re-
oval and that was unsatisfactory,
