derived no little benefit.

We are glad TO note that Mrs.

illness.
Mr.. Shaw, some days ago, in at
tempting to mount his horse, fell
heavily to the ground and broke his

The farmers completed the new
dam this week, They have had
an eye to the welfare of their breth-
rem down the river, and have built
the dam very low. 1t is made Of
brush, and although it is so low, it
is about thirty-fve feet wide up and
down the river. This is to render
it less liable to destruction by high
waters. Messrs Wamel and H. j..
Sanders deserve much credit for the
execution Of this piece of civil en-
cheering, and although brush is
the material used, it is little more
liable to destruction than most of
Uncle Sans expensive masonry
dams. The overhows of last year
occurred as follows: June 30, July 8,

FL Paso County Attorney
Praises Deming.

Hon. W. w. Bridgers, county at
torney of FL Paso, was in the city
Monday and said a whole book full
of good things about this valley to
the GRAPHIC reporter.
He was for several years men,
Der of the Texas legislature and is
now the legal head of FL Paso
county. He knows @ good thing
when he sees it and that is why he
Is in love with the Mimbres Valley.
He said that our water proposition
is worth a mint of money to pros
pective residents, and the only thing
really necessary now is to let the
outside world know what we have
here.
The big attorney had a pleasant
chat with Secretary Bedichek Of
the Chamber of Commerce, who, by
the way, was clerk Of the finance
committee in the Texas legislature
when Mr.. Bridges was a member,
and assured the secretary he would
be only too glad to lend all assis-
lance possible in the discharge of
his official duties.
The legal light from the Pass
City was a former newspaper man,
incidentally editing paper by the
name Of the Graphic, and along
about eighteen years ago, he was a
member Of the Headlight force,
when former Senator Ross was It's
editor. That's the reason, among
other things, that he naturally likes

RECENT RAINS BRING
ON ACTIVITY

The recent spell Of wet weather
has been general all over the state.
Especially on the east side of the
mountains the farmers are rejoicing.
The rain will thoroughly soak up
the ground and will q ire good
crops next year. Everywhere there
is an air of renewed activity. Those
who came to Montana a little late
in the season are now busily en-
gagged in breaking up as much
ground as possible, so that it will be
shape for the spring planting.
The recent demonstrations made on
the experiment farms by the Great
Northern have demonstrated that
dry farming is practicable. This
has encouraged those who lost
heart on account of one of the dry
est seasons ever known in the his
tory OF the state, SO that they will
all take a new hold in the spring
with renewed vigor. The plowing
outfits are finding all they can do
and improvements of all kinds are
being made on the homesteads.

igate the proposition, also to seek a
suitable site. The clerk was also
instructed to communicate with
towns that have crematories and
secure information regarding their
erection and maintenance.
The matter of vacating a portion
of the street as petitioned for by
Mr.. Ryan was not granted, as it
could not be legally done.
The matter of changing the
lighting system as proposed by the
electric light company at the last
meeting, was laid over for the present
as the company is too busy to make
the change this fall.
The Townsite company presented
two petitions-one praying that the
city vacate the streets and alleys in
a certain plat of ground .compris-
ing seven blocks at Lakeside, and
another that the stump ordinance
be repealed, and that their property
be released from farther taxation
from that source. A committee
was appointed to take the matter
under consideration before anv def
mite action will be taken.
A resolution was introduced to
amend Ordinance No. "a, raising
the licenses of retail dealers from
$37 so per quarter to $75 per quar-
ter, and the licenses of wholesale
liquor dealers from $50 to 500 pei
quarter. This was referred to the
ordinance committee for farther
consideration, aa,d the clerk was in
instructed to find out from other
towns what is the average license
fee, so the rate here can be fixed tC
conform with other cities and towns.
Alderman McConville brought up
the matter of having the houses
numbered. This was passed upon
favorably, and was referred to a
committee for farther action.
AS the water works books have
not been checked up and no accu-
rate records of the financial stand
ing Of the water system, the mayor
suggested that a man be hired to
take an inventory and get the work
put in proper order. This was
ordered done.

Whitefish Schools Ahead

The Pilot is glad to record that
ten of the eleven who wrote in the
Sth grade examinations successfully
met the test and have receive di-
plomas. Those who received di-
plomas are Everett Bardin, May
VanDyke, Agnes Swanson, Jessie
Monk. Jessie Smith, Dorcas Fer
guson, Florence Tallman, Bertha
Larson, Cora Grinde, Pansy Young.
This record places Whitefish
ahead of the schools of the county
in percentage of those passed, a
fact which speaks most eloquently
for Miss Rushton, the teacher of
the class.
The schools have steadily forged
ahead in the last few years. and to
Prin. Gloyde and his efficient as
sistants is due no little praise for
the popularity of the schools.

RAILROAD
MEN MEET

The Montana Railway Employees
Club held a meeting and smoker in
Masonic hall Sunday evening that
was we'll attended and a great many
subjects of interest to the railroad
men were discussed. Some one
started to get at the bottom of the
reason for the high cost of living,
but the more it was discussed the
farther they drifted from the sub
ject, SO Ted Logan suggested that
as that topic had been thoroughly
investigated by other organizations
and even the United States Senate,
and they had not been able to
reach the cause, he thought it had
better be laid on the table, as it
was too deep for him.
Hon. e. M. Hutchinson, the re
publican candidate for the senator
ship, was guest of the evening,
and P. L. Forcum, democratic can
didate for the legislature, was also
present, and were called upon for
speeches. While no resolutions
were passed to indorse these candi-
dates, the hearty applause that was
rendered and sentiments expressed,
fully demonstrated that they both
have the solid suffrage Of the rail
road boys.
Cigars were passed and refresh
ments served. While these were
being disposed of stories were told
and acquaintances renewed, and
the meeting wound up at late
hour and was voted as being the
most sociable gathering ever held
since the organization of the club.
The next meeting will be held
Sunday evening October 16. Every
railroad man should endeavor to be
present.

RAILWAY UNIONS GET
INTO POLITICS

For the first time in the history
of railway unions members and del
egates representing Bis, 900 men of
the four great divisions of railway
employees in the east voted unanim-
ously at meeting in New York to
take concerted action in national
and state politics.
The proper place to settle quest
ions affecting labor is at the ballot
box" said Warren S. Stone Of
Cleveland, Ohio, grand chief of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers.
Whatever your political affili-
ations do not let party lines blind
you to your true interest or prevent
you from doing what you think is
best or right. See that the men
you vote for stand for the right
principles, regardless of party. and
support those men who meet the
requirements, and you will not
only be doing the best thing for
yourself but for the public.
This is not political move at
all, as is generally understood, but
a move to get away from the old
lines of party politics.

The regular meeting of the town
council was held in the city hall
Tuesday evening. All members
present except Alderman Bonner.
The treasurer's report showed
$2,47S.87 on hand Sept. 1, and on
Sept. 80, there were $1,329.O7 in
the treasury. The police magis-
trate collected $2S, and the marshal
collected $1S5 for special fines and
$12 pond fees.
DR.. H. f. Houston and J. E.
Cavanaugh, representing the First
National Bank Building company,
requested the council to make
water rate for the building. AS all
the details could not be arrived at
then, meeting with the water COM
mittee was arranged for the next
morning.
Communications were read from
Engineers A. L. Jaqueth and F. E.
Marsh Of Kalispell, and Mr.. Wylie
of Spokane, which were in response
to letter from the clerk asking for
figures on the cost of drawing the
plans and specifications for the
sewer system and experimenting
the work, After considerable dis
cussion Mr.. Jaqueth was chosen, as
he is an old-timer in the valley and
has had considerable experience in
such work. Preparation of plans
and specifications will begin at
an early date, and when all the
necessary 6ata has been secured the
council can GO ahead andssell the
bonds and be ready to commence
construction work on the sewer the
first thing in the spring.
The dumping ground proposition
still remains unsettled. A suitable
piece of ground for this purpose
cannot be secured without paying
an exorbitant price. Mayor May
field quoted DR.. Tuttle, secretary of
the board of health, as recommend
ing a crematory for garbage as be-
ing the most economical, sanitary
and satisfactory method where it has
been tested, and thinks such cre-
matory can be built for what a
dumping ground would cost. A
committee was instructed to invest

TAKES THE
FIRST GAME

The football game Saturday after
noon played between the Flathead
high school team and Whitefsh
would have been dandy if it had
not been for the incessant rain and
the terribly muddy ground.
In spite of the fact that it poured
down most of the time and the
grounds were covered with pools
of water and a couple of inches of
thick, sticky mud, the boys waded
into battle with grim determina-
ton like lot of warriors, and tum-
bled and rolled ground in it just as
if they liked it. When the game
was over it was difficult to tell
whether they were human beings or
just Whitefish clay with some me-
chanical device concealed in the
stucco to make the Adonis-like fig
ures jump about like Roman glad
iators. Tney were completely plas-
tered with it from head to foot;
face, ears, eyes, nose and hair were
all smeared over with the soil that
makes the finest fruit country in
the world, but is not conducive to
fast football playing.
Our boys wele little better
versed in the game, and some of
them have had considerable more
experience, so they had it their own
way most of the time. A few times
the visitors worked some very good
plays and made a few gains that
looked as if they would reach the
goal, but their efforts were futile,
against the rush of our boys.
The game was cleanly played all
the way through, according to the
new rules, and only one two oc-
cassions did anything happen to
ruffle anyones temper. One of the
Kalispell boys lost his head, think
ing some one was playing dirty,
and decision made by the umpire
was said to be unfair to our boys,
but everything was settled satisfac.
torily, and after the game was over
nothing but the best of feeling pre-
vailed, and the high school delega-
ton who were in attendance gave
three lusty hurrahs for Whitefsh,
winding up with, who's all right?
Whiteish." The Whitefsh boys
returned the compliments. The
score was 16 too in favor of White
fish.
The visitors came up from Kalis-
pell on No. 3, accompanied by
about so rooters, over half of them
young ladies, proudly displaying
their banners, ribbons and collors.
On account of the steady rain near
ly all the time, they amused them
selves at the Hotel Northern the
best they could till the game start
ed. In the evening they were CIV
en- reception and dance in Mat
thew's hall by the Whitefish foot
ball team, where they spent several
hours tripping the light fantastic to
the strains of Kelley's orchestra.
They departed on No. Al for their
homes, declaring that in spite of
the inclemency of the weather they
had had an enjoyable time.
