SELLINGBED
OF ROCKS

A couple of shrewd real estate
promoters have been brought to
grief at Vancouver, WASH, for SELL
ing lots in an alleged townsite called
Hillman.
The letter which the attorney
general of Washington, is reported
to have sent to District Attorney
Cameron, who has taken the case
under advisement, is to the effect
that the land covered by the pro-
posed townsite is a bed of rocks.

also says that the site is occupied
by one lone tent, although the ad-
vertising matter of the COMPANY
shows banks, hotels and other
buildings.
More then 300 lots are said to-
have been sold in the townsite by
the promoters. Action was urged
upon the attorney general by prom
inent residents and officials of Crook.

IOWA MAN
SENDS COMPLIMENTS

We print the following from a let
ter received this week from a read
er OF the Pilot in Sioux City, Iowa,
and feel highly flattered at the
compliment he has given us and
our city:
Received several copies of the
Pilot, and think it very readable,
and we'll gotten up newspaper. The
advertising patronage looks very
good, and impresses one with the
fact that Whitefish must be blessed
with a coterie of enterprising, up
to-date merchants, who appreciate
the service rendered to to them
by their local paper. From the
amount of local and other news
which appears I would judge that
there was far better field to draw
from than the average country pa.
per has to contend with. Can only
guess at the population of your city
by the looks of the Pilot, but should
imagine it is quite a town.
Don't think I will stay here
much longer. Perhaps about the
first of the year, and maybe sooner,
I will start to work west by degrees.
Am keeping my ears open for an
opening"

THREE THOUSAND
NAMES TO BE CALLED

The calling of the names of the
second three thousand of those
awarded numbers at the drawing
for Flathead reservation lands, will
begin at the Kalispell land office on
September first. No definite in
structions have been received by
the local officials, but it is supposed
the calling of the names will con-
tinue for two or three weeks more,
calling probably an average of two
hundred names daily.
1t will be remembered that at
the drawing a year ago six thous-
and names were drawn and num-
bers assigned. The first three
thousand names were called in May
OF this year, and of those whose
names were called approximately
one thousand made enteries.
Since the calling Of the names in
May, a new schedule of the lands
remaining open to entry has been
prepared, and limited number of
the schedule were received at the
local office this week.

ITALIANS FINED FOR
USING A FISH TRAP

1t had been reported to Game
Warden S. F. Ralson, by the
the marshal that a number of
Italians were fishing without Ii
cense, so he came over to look into
the matter, and while crossing the
railroad bridge over the river
Monday morning, discovered a
queer looking contrivance in the
water below that aroused his curl
osity, and on investigation found
it to be a fish trap, very ingeniously
constructed and woven together out
Of small willow boughs.
Ralston laid in ambush for two
nights in hopes of catching the
owners coming down to take the
fish out of the trap, but they
seemed to be on to him, and yes
terday morning after giving it up
as hopeless case, confiscated the
trap. On the way to town he met
an Italian and took long chance
of accusing him of being the owner
Of the trap. When accused the
Italian tried to run away, but
Ralston drew his gun which brought
him to time and he confessed that
he was not the owner of the trap,
but would find the two men who
were, and he did. Ralston brought
them up before Judge Carr, who
fined one $40 and the other $25.

SEEMINGLY
DOOMED

A terrible forest fire. famed on
bv-a high wind, swept the noun
tain sides in the vicinity of Field
ing last Thursday and Friday, and
the little settlement composed
mostly of the grading camps oi
Grant, Smith and Co., the railway
station, the general store and post
office owned by J. j. Cremans,
and few forest rangers cabins,
seemed domed to destruction.
The whole grading crew was
pressed into service to assist the
forest rangers fight the flames, but
it was no avail. The wind carried
the live brands ahead and set new
fires faster than thousand men
could put them out. With the
high wind that was blowing it was
realized that nothing could prevent
everything in it's path from being
consumed 80 the contractors ordered
a special train to be on the scene
and be held in readiness to move
everything out when ever it was
necessary. All the women and
children were ordered to leave
Thursday night, so that in case
anything serious did happen the
men would not be handicapped in
their work. by having them to look
after. Those who could not move
out dug holes in the ground and
buried their goods.
Every one was prepared for the
worst, but through an act of provi-
dence it seems, the wind changed
it's course before the flames reached
the foot of the mountains, and car
ried them clear of the town. The
next morning everything was pro-
crossing the same as usual. but the
fire still continues on ever the
and will probably not
be extinguished till a soaking rain
comes.

LOCALS LOSE
TO HAMILTON

Hamilton, Aug. 14-With Ge-
beau pitching gilt-edged ball the
team behind him playing almost
errorless ball, the locals defeated
Whitefish to-day on the local
grounds, 8 to l. It was a game
of few hits, the losing team get
ting only two singles. Skillman,
the southpaw who was with San
Francisco in the Coast league
last year, was in the box for the
visitors and pitched a good game,
but was hit at critical moments.
Gebeau was in fine form and al
lowed but one man to get to Sec
ond base. Messmer caught a
fine game for the home guard,
his base throwing being the best
ever seen on the local diamond.
Hamilton put one over in the
first frame. After McQuaid had
grounded out, Hammond tore a
board off the left-field fence and
was sacrificed home by Williams.
The third yielded another. Nc
Quaid was safe on an error by
Reeve and stole to third while
Williams was striking out, to
score on Snyder's smash thru
short. In the sixth Snyder sin
gled to left and went to second
when Marx bunted. Rafferty,
sacrificed the first baseman
home.
mo further particulars of the
other two games are obtainable,
except a message over the long
distance phone which stated that
on Monday the score stood 6 to 2
in favor of Hamilton, and Tues
day Hamilton took the game by
8 to 0.
1T appears that Hamilton has
strengthened up considerably
since they visited the Flathead
and are returning the compli-
ment they received here.

Novel Way to Raise Money.

ITO raise considerable amount OF
money with very little trouble is to
form story chain, for winter" says
Martha Landon, in Womans Home
Companion.
A group of ten women meet at tie
home OF one OF them on an afternoon
and one reads aloud story, some
thing worth listening to, like The
Toy Shop" or "rhe Man Without
Country" or any of the best short sto-
ries: then tea is served and perhaps
there is little music. Each person
present pays an admission fee OF %
cents In turn each OF the ten guests
give similar tea at her home and the
same programme is followed, and each
of these guests gives tea; when this
has been done three or four times the
chain comes to an end, but the treas

SPARE MINUTE FOR THE EYES
Nothing Gives Eyes Such Complete
Rest as Habit Of Closing Them
Occasionally.

If you will spare minute every
half hour to the eyes they may be
spared to you many years in conse-
Quence.
A well-known oculist declares moth
ing gives the eyes such complete rest
as the habit of closing them occasion
ally for minute or too. In threat
ened cases of eyestrain he has some
times advised no other cure and the
patient has recovered his normal
sight
Where one uses the eyes constant
ly. especially for close work, as the
woman who does fine sewing, enl-
broidery or painting, the relief to eyes
of lifting them from the work and
closing them while one slowly counts
twenty-five cannot be overestimated.
Another rest is TO change the point
of vision from time to time Look
away from what you are doing and
gaze blankly into space. Do not at
tempt TO concentrate on anything,
merely look out of the window or into
distant corner of the room.
Do not begrudge the time for this
eye resting 1t is the best sort of in
vestment you can make and will not
take half as much time or money as
visits to the oculist.

HOW PHAROAH WAS DROWNED
colored Minister Insisted Egyptians
Broke Through Ice After Children
of Israel Had Crossed.

There is story OF an old colored
minister, which ] am fond of telling,
that illustrates what ] mean. The old
fellow was trying to explain to Sun
day school class how 1t was and why
1t was that Pharaoh and his party
were drowned when they were trying
to cross the Red sea, and how 1t was
and why it was that the Children of
Israel crossed over dry shod. The
old minister explained it in this wise:
When the first party came along 1t
vas early in the morning and the Ice
was hard and thick, and the first party
had no trouble crossing over on the
ice, but when Pharoah and his party
came along 1t was IL o'clock in the
day and the sun was shining hot on
the Ice, and when they got on the Ice
1t broke, and they went in and were
drowned"
Now. there happened to be in this
class young colored man who had
had considerable schooling, and this
young fellow turned to the old minis.
letr and said:
Now, Mr. Minister do not under
stand that kind Of explanation. l have
been going to school and have been
studying ell these conditions, and my
geography teaches me that ice does
not freeze within certain distance
OF the equator
The old minister replied Now,
Use been expecting something just like
this. There's always some fellow
ready to Spite all the theology. The
time Use talkin' about was before they
had iogerphies or 'Quators either"
Now, this old man, in his plain and
simple way was trying to brush aside
all artificiality and to get down to beG-
rock. So it was with me. -Rooker 7.

SAUSAGE MAKING is ANCIENT
Industry Dates Back to the Tenth Cen

Hail to the sausage. exclaims the

of combination of pork, spices and
meat chopper is now celebrating its
one thousandth birthday. And in Aus
tria and Germany happy folks are
singing:
We're happy and contented when wine
and music flow,
For sausage was invented thousand
years ago.
1t was in the tenth century that the
tasty pork sausage was given to a de-
serving humanity, and 1t was not I'M
til GOO years later that Germany be-
gan introducing spices into the sau-
sage. which Immediately gave the
product of that country a worldwide
reputation that time can never erase.
A few years ago a sausage exhibi-
tion was held In Switzerland and over
1,700 varieties of sausages were on
view-more than half coming from
Germany.
Making sausages was In the good
old days of long ago queens recrea-
ton. A wifes ability TO make good
sausages counted for more than
wealth and beauty combined.
To appreciate sausages one must

No. you can't get those sausages at
