KALISPELL MEN
INTERVIEW HILL

President Hill, with a party Of
other railroad men and financi ers,
went west this morning, and a doz-
en- or more business men of Kalispell
went to Columbia Falls to interview
him with regard to the southern
road. Mr.. Hill held the train at
Columbia Falls for nearly half an
hour to meet the Kalispell represent
tatives. He was assured that the
people of the county were anxious
to have the proposed road built, and
that there was a universal feeling
that the railroad company should
have a square deal on the matter Of
right of way. Mr.. Hill said he
could give no definite answer until
he had received a report from Mr..
Coleman, chief of the right of way
department, but he said he appre-
ciated the expression of interest, and
was glad to have the delegations
assurance that the company could
depend on fair treatment, as far as
the public could bring it about

G.N.MAY BUILD NORTH
AND SOUTH ROAD

1t has been authoritatively stated
that if the property owners along
the east shore of Flathead lake will
sell the Great Northern right of
way at reasonable price, the COM
pany will build the southern branch
this summer. This is on authority
OF Mr.. Coleman, the head of
the right of way department Of the
road
1t is announced with equal au-
thority that unless the right of way
can be secured at the proper figures,
the entire project will be abandoned
for good, and the company will
wipe it off their maps of proposed
extensions.
Mr.. Coleman conferred with.
number of the property owners in
terested while he was in Kalispell
this week, and found that most of
them were willing to make reason
able concessions. Some of them,
however, are said to have named
exorbitant p ices, and this caused
the announcement that the company
would not consider them, and
would abandon building if COM
PEELED to pay them.
The entire valley is vitality inter-
ested in the situation. The public
wishes to see the property owners
get fair prices for their land, but
there is a belief that in some cases
they are making unreasonable de-
mands, and there is a general feel
ing that a few persons who are hold
ing land for speculative purposes
should not block an enterprise that
means so much to the vally.
Mr.. Coleman's visit has caused a
lively interest in the possible build
ing of the road, and will lead in all
probability to energetic effort on
the part of the people of Kalispell
and the valley to assist the company
in every possible way to get the
necessary right of way along the
lake. ---Kalispell Inter-Lake

FREIGHT RATES ARE
CHEAPER TO SEATTLE

Spokane, Wash. May 4---W. A.
Silvedge, president of the chamber
of commerce of Billings, where he
is engaged in the wholesale business,
said in an interview while inspect
ing the exhibit of timber, mineral,
farm and fruit resources in the In
land Empire in the rooms of the
chamber of commerce here, that the
state of Montana in general is in the
most prosperous condition today.
He added:
There has been a large influx of
settlers into the country districts in
Montana and Billings and other
cities in the state are growing stead
lily, in spite of the fact that we are
up against the same proposition in
regards to freight rates as Spokane.
1 feel that we will get some better
agreement with the railroads IN the
near future, and think that the
amendment now before Congress in
regard to the long and short haul
will be acted upon favorably, as it
probably will he tackled on to the
administration bill. 1t will be of
great benefit to Montana as we'll as
to other parts of the country

difference between the rates had to
pay on hardware and those charged
for the coast cities. On a carload
of nails shipped from Pittsburg, l

$40, while ON 65 cars I paid an
excess of $11 ,OO0."

CURED APPENDICITIS
BY FASTING

Walter A. Scott of Bozeman,
Mont, who is visiting in Spokane,
claims to have cured appendicitis
by fasting 10 days. He broke his
fast by drinking a glass of milk the
afternoon of April 26. He does
not show signs of having abstained
from food for 24O hours. His cheeks
are ruddy and his skin remarkably
clear. Here is the story in his own
words:
Il began fasting on April 16. 1t
was either that or the surgeons
knife, for l was developing a case of
appendicitis that would have brought
tears of JOY to the eyes of any high
priced surgeon.
All traces of appendicitis have
disappeared, and aside from y slight
weakness l never felt better in my
life. | took a glass of milk to break
my fast and | am just beginning to
feel real hungry for the first time.
THE matter of fasting is not at
all difficult after one has gone the
first 4S hours. The head aches some
the first day and one is ravenously
hungry, but the pain disappears and
after that one feels splendid. Ishall
drink a glass of milk now at inter-
walls of an hour for "a hours and
then take some light food"
Several weeks ago while at Boze-
man Mr.. Scott read an article by an
eastern writer advocating the no-food
treatment for various ills, and he
tried it when threatened with APP
pendicitis.

MORE soPHIsTRY AND .sURTER.
FUGE.

The Houston Post perpetrates this,
and expects to have people believe it.:
Judge PoindeXter, Cone johnson and
Davidson have repeatedly made the
untruthful statement that Mr.. Col
quit stands for the unrestricted sa-
loon. If Mr. Colquitt stands for the
unrestricted saloon, then Judge Poin-
dexter, Dr. Rankin. Cone Johnson and
all who have aided in perfecting the
present local option system have been
standing for the unrestricted saloon,
for Mr. Colquitt is standing for the
law as it now exists"
With only this difference, esteemed
Post: While Johnson and Rankin and
Poindexter have been voting against
the open saloon, exercising the local
option law, Colquitt has been voting
to retain the saloon, exercising his
privilege through the same law. They
may have all stood solid at one time
for local option, yet they were lined
up on different sides, one voting dry
and the other wet. One wanting to
restrict the saloon, the other voting to
keep it wide open. So, good Post,
the charge that Colquitt has steadfast-
ly stood for the unrestricted saloon.
Will ne tell us today that he would
vote II, q local fls,fior12 olpcfi0n tn so1osa
the saloon up in his county if it was
there and open. Or would he vote to
keep the saloon open? Would he vote
wet or dry in such an election? Come
across with the answer. If he does
not stand for the saloon let him say
so. He says he is willing for the peo-
pie of each county to decide that
question. He is one of the people of
one of the counties. How would he
vote?

Personally the Herald has no inter,
est in the candidacy of any man for a
state office. 1t would like to see Cone
Johnson receive large vote in Hunt
county, it is free to confess, mainly
because he occupies no middle ground
on prohibition. He does not compro-
mise at any point with the liquor in
terest. He is making a brilliant cam
paign and is opposed by powerful po-
litical combinations on the one hand
and great financial. interests as repre-
scented by the distillers. the breweries
and the saloon men on the other. His
nomination is being urged by those
who have had the most experience in
prohibition work He is regarded by
them as the best man for the prohi-
bitionists to look to with reasonable
hope for success Of the prohibition

THE SMALL CITY GARDEN.

A small space of ground on a city
lot, cultivated as a vegetable garden,
can be made to do wonders. The
writer has been gardening this spring,
and the results secured are not only
gratifying, but almost astounding. The
vegetables for table use have been
grown, surplus given the reighbors,
and their cultivation has been a
source of pleasure and healthy exer-
else. As late in the season as it now
is no vegetables have been bought for
family use, and more vegetables, and
a greater variety of them have been
enjoyed this year than in years past.
Scarcely a dinner is served without
from three to six varieties of vege
tables on the table from the home
garden. Among the good things that
are now being enjoyed are snap
BEANS potatoes, okra, tomatoes, bell
peppers, mustard, lettuce, squash tur-
nip greens, .radishes, etc.
A splendid lot of garden corn was
grown, and has been consumed, be-
sides lettuce, mustard, radishes, ETC.,
from earliest spring.
And just now are growing other
rows of beans, lettuce, mustard, toma-
toes, okra, peppers, etc., which will
supply vegetables throughout the sum-
mer months
The small garden can be made to do
duty fully nine months in every year,
and can be made source of ocnsid-
cradle income, when properly handled.
And in addition to the garden the
writer has splendid jersey cow, fur
nishing all the milk and butter the
family can consume, with enough to |
sell to pay for the feed, a yard full of |
chickens, with eggs enough for family |

paper venture for Jacksonville. 1t is
a four-column, four-page paper, neat
ly printed, with the names of Phillips
& Mecklin, publishers, and Albert
Spence, editor, at it's masthead.
Judging from the lack of patronage,
however, in its first issue, it is
launched more on faith than on good
business backing. Jacksonville should
have local daily, and the business
people would find it to their advan-
tage to give it good support; and these
men seem to be capable of giving the
town a good local daily. The Herald

HE SAVED THE ARCHITECTS FEE

/ (By A. S. Written, Austin, Texas.)
He wanted to build, so he said to me
A house for his family of three,
But he said he positively could not
afford
To pay any architects fee.
So he butted into the building world,
And thought that he would be
The happy possessor of coy home
Without paying any architects fee.
He found at first a bunch of words,
Technical terms it may be,
But he got down his dictionary for
them,
For he must save the architects fee
So he bought his material himself, to
+. contractors margin, to see
II it was possible to add p
TO this saving from the architects fee.
He employed his workmen by the day,
Which is usually bad policy,
But he expected by this means to save
Still more than the architects fee.
So he worked his men as best he
could,
And hustled, it seemed to me,
More than enough, if at his own desk,
To have earned the architects fee.
And finally he found he'd have to quit,
If his house would be built to T.
So he lost his thirty week for
month
To save a fifty dollar architect fee
After twas done he thought he'd sell,
AS he confided in me,
For somehow his house seemed to
show
That he'd saved the architects fee.
Then the people who wanted to buy a
home
All came out there to see
This house whose cost had SO much |
increased
By the saving of the architects fee.
One day as passed him on the street,
He stopped and said to me,
Il find, old man, it cost me dear
To save that architects fee.
My roof it leaks, my flues don't draw,
And the plumbing, it seems to be
The costliest stuff in all this house
Where | saved the architects fee.
L could not sell nor give it away,
Tor to every one twas plain to. see
10 matter how much it had cost to
build
had saved the architects fee.
Last night when we'd all gone to bed,
md were snug as we could be,
This house took fire all at once 6
his house without the architects
fee.
After we'd hustled to the kind neigh ,
bors
~ wife she said to me,
ohm, no matter what else we may
have lost
Te saved the architects fee"
