Due to Dancers Whim.

Behind the discovery of the island
is the fascinating figure of Lola Montez
the famous dancer and singer, for it
was indirectly through one of her whlms
that the island was discovered.
Captain de Greaves was born on the
Island of Jersey in 1888, and entered
the service of the East India Company
when but thirteen years of age. lie
rose to be a lieutenant in that COM
pany, and during the Sepoy rebellion,
in 1851, commanded a company and
participated in the relief of Lucknow
In the early part of 1859 he was in Mel
bourne, where events happened which
changed the entire course of his life.
He shipped as mate in the schooner
General Wolford, under command o.
Captain Fuller. Although ostenslbly
chartered for commercial purposes by
Lola Montez, the schooner was soon
turned, in reality, into a pleasure craft
pure and simple. Lola Montez, the
dancer, had Just completed a successful
tour of the Australian cities, and, II
company with her manager and Other
members of her suite, she decided Il
make a pleasure trip from Melbourne.
According to Captain de Greaves sh
had tremendous appetite for cham
pagne. but she was a good hearte
woman. Her idea was first to visit tn
Hawaiian Islands. and from there go [
CaIlao and then on to Lima, the car

LAST ISLAND
D|SC0VERER DEAD
Romance of the Sea Recalled by
Filing of Testamentary
Papers Yesterday.

Just little more than half a century
ago an lSlet in the broad expanse of
the Pacific Ocean was discovered bv
Capt. John de Greaves, and ever since
then has been lost Fifty-one wears
afterward the discoverer died in the
lonely leper settlement at Kalawao, No
lOkai, knowing that his discovery had
never been confirmed In the circuit
court yesterday papers were fled by
Sheldrake c. Stibbard, asking that let
tiers testamentary be issued to him and
Jack MeVeigh, superintendent of the
settlement, to take charge of the prop
erty which the old mariner left.
Capt. John de Greaves, for many
years an employee of the board of health
at Honolulu, died at Kalawao October
80, 1910. leaving real estate in Kewalo
Honolulu, worth about $3.50, and prop
erty in Bishop & Co.'S bank valued at
about $500. He was seventy three years
of age.
De Greaves Island was the name Of
the mysterious coral twin-peaks which

efforts were made since that time to
find the island. Steamer captains who
sailed over the course shown on maps

CHANCE TO CAP
TURE SOMETHING

Some time ago Louis w Hill,
president Of the Great Northern,
who has been taking Such a per-
sonal Interest in building up the
fruit and agricultural industries of
the Flathead, offered to the county
fair association two beautiful silver
cups valued at $50 each, to be given
as premiums for fruit and grain dis
plays as the association thought
best.
The final details regarding them
have been settled as follows: One
will be given as a premium for the
best collection of sheaf grains,
grasses, roots and vegetables, and
the other for the best collection of
fruit exhibited by any chamber of
commerce or any other society of
not less than twelve members, and
not organized for profit.
There is also long list of first
and second ribbon prizes that are
worth while striving for.

Hard On The Champs

The famous Sweet Grass team got
together again last week and played
a series of three games here which
spoiled their splendid reputation
considerably. Thursday they were
defeated 8 to- 5. Friday they were
shut out 4 to 0, something that
has not happened to them since
they have been on the road. Saturday
afternoon they pulled together lit
tie and managed to get the big end
of the score, 4 to 6. There was
good snappy ball playing at all the
games and a fair attendance.
It'was intended to play another
game here Sunday, but half of the
Sweet Grass team was signed up
with Kalispell, so they went down
there to take their part in the game
against Hamiltoh which left us
without game at home, as had
been advertised.

STRINGING WIRES
TO COLUMBIA FALLS

1t won't be long now before COL
umbia Falls will also be electric
lighted. The Northern Idaho and
Montana Power company began
this week to string the wires from
this sub-station, which will carry
$4,000 volts to that burg. The
line goes out of here on the same
poles that carry the juice up from
Kalispell, as far as the State mill,
and from there it branches off on a
line of its own to Columbia Falls.
A new telephone line is strung
along the same route, which, when
completed will give us an improved
service to that town.

KalispeIl 9; Hamilton !

Kalispell took an awful fall out
OF our manager, Archie Coins, last
Monday when he pitched the game
for Hamilton and lost 9 to 2. 1t
seems to have done their poor weak
hearts great deal of good to see
Archie defeated, and lays it all up
to him, when las a matter of fact, he
was the only one on the team that
did do anything in that game. He
brought in the only two scores that
were made. If the others had done
as well Kalispell would have had a
different story to tell. Archie
pitched good game, but he could
not win it alone. They feel differ
ent about it, and don't crow so
loud when Archie has his own
men to back him.

STEFFENS HOTEL
READY FOR BUSINESS

Carl Steffen, who recently pur-
chased the Whitefsh hotel has Just
finished remodeling the place and
it is now known as the Steffen ho-
tel. 1t has been overhauled all the
way through and is now flied up in
modern style from attic to cellar.
The rooms have all been renoyat-
ed and refurnished with new furni-
ture, the bar room and Office have
been finished up with new fixtures,
linoleums, electric chandeliers and
steel walls and ceilings, so that it
does not look like the same place
at all and the outside has been re-
painted and a cement walk laid in
front. In all Mr.. Steffen has ex-
pended a sum in excess of $4,000
TO put this place in shape and it
now compares very favorably with
any place of business in town.

SUPPORT

The people here do not seem to
appreciate what the baseball asso-
citation is doing for them in trying
to maintain a fast baseball team
and keep up our present reputa-
ton. We have one of the fastest
teams in the state, hut they are
not receiving the proper support.
In order to hold ball players here
we have to pay them. The asso-
citation has been devising every
possible scheme to make all ends
meet, but the gate receipts for the
past few games have not been up
to the average and are not suffici-
to keep up the running expenses.
If there are not better turnouts to
the games the ganization will
probably have to disaband for the
season, unless some other support
comes IN soon. There are Il num-
Der here who signed up for dona-
tions last spring that have not yet
come through with them. They
would come in very handy right
now. 1t is very discouraging for
anyone to try to keep up an organ
ization when the public does not
take more interest in it. We issue
an urgent appeal to the public for
better support for our team, turn
out to see every game show that we
are loyal to our team, and help
boost them up, so that we can
claim the championship title.

Officer Has a Chase.

Saturday night a couple of men
got mixed up in fstic encounter
in the rear of the Combination sa-
loon where their loud language at
tracted the attention of Officer Met
calf and Special Agent Harmon.
One of the participants was easily
captured, but the other one
made break for liberty and led
Metcalf merry chase up the ce-
ment walks on Central avenue.
He then lodged into an alley and
made his getaway. The fellow
that was captured is doing ten days
in the stump gang.

DOUBLE TRACK
IS IN OPERATION

Seven miles of new double track
over the hump" between Skyland
and Fielding was put into operation
last Friday at noon. All east
bound trains now take the right
hand track from Summit.
Sign boards have been placed at
Skyland and Summit to indicate to
all concerned the end of the double
track and are warned not to leave
any cars on the present main line,
which was the passing track at
Summit.
Double track rules govern the
operations of the trains, and clear
ance card must be secured from
the dispatcher at Java whilst on
duty, and at Whitefs.1 when the
block is operated by the White6sh
dispatcher. All west-bound trains
must come to a full stop and clear
switches to the main line at Sky
land.
The short stretch of track is only
part q the distance from Summit
to Java, which will be put into
service as fast as it is completed,
and will do away with the great
difficulties that have been expert
enced in the past in handling the
trains over the mountains. Besides
securing a double track, the grade
has been reduced and as many
curves have been done away with
as possible, so that the tonnage
over this section of the road can be
increased materially.

TILL IS
TAPPED

The till in Roy Young's barber
shop was tapped last Friday night
and about $50 in cash taken. The
money was locked in a wooden
drawer in front. and to get at it the
tl.ief had to lift up the marble slab
and then cut through thin board
with his jackknife, through which
lie extracted the money. Every
thing was then put back in its
proper place again SO that there
was nothing to indicate that any
thing was wrong till the drawer was
opened late in the morning, when
the money was found missing and
the drawer full of wood, chips
which explained how it was gotten
into. 1t is not known who COM
mitted the deed. That morn
ing the doors to the place
were found unlocked and the port
er claims that he was drunk that
night and went in there to sleep,
forgetting to lock the doors. He
claims that he was also touched for
$1,000. Whoever it was, was
very familiar with the place and
evidently knew just where to look
for the money. No arrests were
made.

NEW HARDWARE
ESTABLISHMENT

Turning a business over twice in
side of a week is certainly going
some, and that is what was done
last week by F. w. Zufelt, the real
estate man. On that account he
beat us out of scoop after we
had it all ready to print, but this
week we have a bigger and better
one.
On August 1st the defunct hard
ware business form erly owned by II.
E. Doebler, was transferred to +.
H. Hennessy of Kalispell, who has
made his home here in the valley
for the past five years.
MIR. Hennessy had just taken an
invoice of the place and was
Strengthening things up and clean
ing out. preparatory to opening,
when Mr.. Zufelt heard from v. B.
Mcclure OF Sherwood, N. D., who
was looking for location to open a
hardware store, and having heard a
great deal Of this town was anxious
to come. He offered price in adj
vance of what Mr.. Hennessy had
paid for the business, SO the trans
action was promptly closed, and
Mr.. Mcclure became the proprie-
tor. He was here to close the deal
Friday, and returned to Sherwood
Immediately to settle up his affairs
there and move to White6sh. He
expects to return about August 20.
Mr.. Mcclure, we are informed,
is an experienced hardware man.
The stock will be moved out OF the
building that is occupied into the
large and commodious store known
as the Cut Bank building, that has
stood vacant for so long, where he
will open up the first part of Sep
tember with a complete stock of
everything in the hardware line,
also a full line of furniture.

On the evening of August 4, Mr..
Charles H. Arens of Springfield,

hat he has made good use of his
ime. He not only captured deer

dear''. Miss Prince is the charm

Prince who live on a ranch Just
asst of town and has a wide circle
