CENSUS DISTRICT
ESTABLlSED

The work of dividing Kalispell
and Flathead into a census district
was completed by William J. Bar
row, representative of the census
bureau, who has been assigned to
the first census district of Montana,
which comprises the IL western
counties, with headquarters at
Butte. The second census district
of Montana comprises the remain.
ing counties and has it's headuuar-
tiers at Helena.
According to the arrangements
made Flathead county will be divid-
ed up into a number of ''enumer-
alton districts" of which Kalispell
will have three, one for each ward.
Kalispell township outside of the
incorporated city will have three
more, Flathead township one, Jocko
township two, Whitefsh township
one and Columbia Falls township
one, land the reservation in Flathead
county one, making total of
twelve enumeration districts'' for
the county.
The compensation of rural enum-
orators will range from 50 to $6 a
day, stated Mr.. Barrows, depend
ing upon the wage scale, with the
chance very strong that it will be
Sc. for Montana on, account of the
high wage scale prevailing here.
In cities the pay runs from two to
four cents a name, with the chance
that the higher figure will prevail.
Examinations for enumerators will
consist of transferring the data of a
hypothetical family to the census
blanks in an ineligible manner,
and anyone who writes quick and
legible hand will be well equipped
for the work.
In cities of 5000 or over the
census must be completed in Is
days from the time of starting, and
in rural communities within 80
days. This rule is enforced as the
bureau wishes to publish as soon as
possible an advance bulletin for all
the more important places. In
making up his assignment of dis
tricts, Mr.. Barrow worked upon the
theory that Kalispell has a popu-
lation of 5000 or more. Enumera-
ton will begin April 15.-Inter
Lake.

THE TROUBLES
OF FLANAGAN


here.
No. 2 is falling down d-nbadly, fear"
Says Despr Mcpherson as his chair he
pushes back
rack,
And feels for his meal ticket which calls
for ham and =.
Well tell now of the troubles that were
left to poor Flann.
He. turns to Bill Hardin, whose back he
can view,
And says, "Let's have the real "dope"
on two"
"SiX hours and fety-ah, make it seven,
If she keeps up at this rate it Will soon
be eleven"
For every operator Flann at once rings
the bell,
And when they fail to answer he muir
mers, ooh Hill"
All now have answered excepting Brown
ing,
Who informs on 81 that his bell does not
ring.
With good many troubles and naughty
words mixed in.
The body of the order he is about to be-
gin.
"No. 2 Eng-D-n you, Cutbank, don't
you dare to break inn
"No. Engine unknown-This is Mid
vale, can't hear word you say
"Well Midvale, leave it alone then and
go in the hay.
''Let's see--No. 2 Eng. unknown, run
seven hours late
'This is Nyack, something coming, looks
like a freight"
Let 'em slide, Whitefish too"
I'D. s., Danny Grant at Talbot, just
broke in two
"And for some time Pm afraid we'll be
here
Gee, how l wish l had good glass of
beer.'
Broke IN two at Talbot-that's going a
few,
Here, can Civ. you more time on Two"
On the run-late at period he again has
commenced,
Swearing that no one has d-n bit Of
sense.
ENG. unknown, run seven hours late
Whitefish to Ny"
Dispatcher Bombay 45l's just going
by"
"Shut up, you d. N chipmunk and fade
away"
"Ditto to you," slams back Bombay.
He answers 30 Motive know he S think
ing plenty.
"Whitefish to Nyack, six hours and
twenty
'Ah, the D., I've bulled it. Copy
again.
'"This order seems to be given on the in
stallment plan"
eds, WX, No. 2 is just in and says if
this is all
"Why can't you give it to him at Co.
lumbia Falls?''
He tells her to clear them and that he
will need her no more.
At this rate No. tn division soon will
be DER.
Again to the order he has turned his
thought,
Rejecting that of patience he must have
lot.
This time he gets half through the order
without being vexed
When he is informed there is no water
| at Essex.
eds, CT, No. 2, and she is coming
| some.
''Let her go, We'll give her this at Bel
TONI
Vainly we think of the slumber we We
lost
And of all the trouble No. has cost.
He works for twenty minutes this order
to get out,
When Bolton hears coming-breaks in
with shout,
Flann YEARLY answers, ooh let her fly,
'Pll try to give tito them at N.Y."
He's wondering if he'll ever reach the
WRS,
When someone breaks in with another
! OS.
At every siding freight con says, "Oh
| Pshaw!''
As he thinks of when he was called and
the sixteen hour law.
AS at every station No. rushes by,
DIS tho't he d catch them at the next on
the sly.
But before this run-late was made COM
plete
No. rs crew at Cut Bank was ready to
eat.
Now We'll choke off and hope on judg-
ment day

Stockmen Will Organize.

Lakeview-A meeting has been call
ed for February 25, by the stockmen
of Lake county, to talk over the pro-
posed formation of stockmen's asso-
citation. This meeting will be held at
the court house in Lakeview. One of
the speakers will be Forest Supervisor
Guy M. Ingram, of the Fremont ma
tional forest. While Lake county has
been one of the best stock counties in
the West, there has been little effort
on the part of stockmen to get together.

PULLMAN DIVIDEND $40, o,ooo,ooo
Paid In Form of New Stock Worth
Double Its Face.

Chicago, Feb. 14.-The directors of
the Pullman company decided at spe-
cial meeting today to give the stock
holders stock dividend of 20 per cent
on the corporations 500. 100000 of
capital. This will call for the issuance
of $40, 600, 900 of new capital, worth
nearly $40, 900, 900 in the open market,
which will be given to the present
shareholders without cost and will
swell the company's total capital stock
to S120, 900, 900.
Pullman stock pays SO share divi-
dend each year, and sells in the mar
ket at $l98 share, or nearly twice
par value. This stock dividend of 20
per cent is about the equivalent of 40
per cent, therefore, on the par value of
the stock.
In statement made by directors an
nouncing the dividend, this afternoon,
it was pointed out that "the considera-
tions influencing this action were that
the increased investment in the manu-
featuring facilities of the company had
been so material and considerable as
to justify the directors in the belief
that it should be represented in addi-
tional capital stock of the company"

CHAPTER XXI.

II was with a thankful heart that
Hope Desmond found herself and her
charge safely housed in the STAFF 4
Square mansion Mrs. Saville bore the
tourney well-lndeed, better than her
companion, whose pale cheeks and
heavy eyes bespoke mental end physi-
cal exhaustion.
Mrs. Savilles usual medical attend
ant, or rather the medical attendant II
the household, for the wiry woman
scarcely knew what indisposition
meant, awaited her arrival and noticed
Miss Desmond's looks.
"If | might offer advice unasked,
would recommend tonic and some
days complete repose to this young
lady" said the polite practitioner. 1T
seems to me that her nervous system
is somewhat overstrained."
"She shall do as you direct" return
ed Mrs. Savllle, with her usual decis.
ion. 81 will look to her myself. She
has braved horrible infection for me,
and has had large share in saving
my life; therefore value hers beyond
everyone's, except, of course, my sons.
Yes, you look frightfully Ill, Hope. I
cannot have this"
Perhaps If went to Miss Rawson
for a few days. said Hope, with hesi-
tation, 81 might gather strength soon
er. Here / shall always want to be
up and about"
you shall be nursed In no other
house than this; so, doctor, send In
your prescription soon. AS for me, I
want nothing but good food and occu-
patton"
you are indeed marvelously we'll
and strong, considering what an Ill
ness you have gone through. We have
now every reason to hope that you
will be spared to your family and
friends for many years."
Much my family and friends care
about that special mercy" returned
Mrs. Saville, with one of her .ironical
smile. "Good-morning, DOCTOR" And
the doctor bowed himself out.

Pres. Fnunce Says American College
Graduates Are Illiterate.
That the American people are muir
derlng their mother tongue and one
OF the great opportunities for reform
at the present time is to teach them
to reverence and prize the English
language and also to speak and write
1t decently, was the opinion expressed
by President Faunce, Of Brown Uni
versity, at Chautauqua, N. Y. He did
not spare the American colleges In his
general arraignment and declared that
they are turning out an alarming pro-
portion of graduates who are actually
illiterate.
i should like" he said, ito see tho
colleges of the country join in an er-
tort to induce the American people to
write and speak the English tongue
decently. The colleges are not doing
1t now. 1t Is fact that the colleges
OF this country are sending out Hitter.
ates' Many of our college seniors can
not write a decent business letter.
Large numbers of them cannot express
themselves in writing so as to be un-
uerstood. We Americans should link
our MINDS and hearts and hands in an
elrort to preserve this mother toneue
winch Is our definite intellectual heri.
tage' We should prize English speech
anu English literature and pass on
,his heritage of the past to the chill
dren of the future"
president Faunce said that he had
peen surprised and shocked recently

lessor huxley to group of Brown
students and no one knew whom he
meant.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

SAVE ORCHARDS FROM PESTS
Systematic Spraying and Pruning
Works Wonders.

WORKS WONDERS.
Eugene-What may be accomplished
by systematic spraying and judicious
pruning of old orchards is illustrated
in the experience of John Thramer,
who has a 35-acre farm in peaches,
cherries, and walnuts on the island b., =
tween the millrace and the Willamette
river on the outskirts of Eugene. He
purchased this farm five years ago.
The cherry trees looked to him, he
says, like a tamarack patch that had
been burned over.
Mr.. Thramer cut back the cherry
trees vigorously and sprayed well. The
