GIVEN A FLOATER.

John McCloud, a G.. N. brakeman,
was arrested Monday for living
with women of i'll repute by the
name of Babe Hamilton. They
had been making their headquarters
in one of the hotels, where they
were arrested. They plead guilty
to the charge in the justice court
and McCloud drew a 500 fine,
while the women got off with only
paying IS. The judge also gave
them both a clearance for more
congenial parts. It has come to
the notice of the police that this
practice has been carried on to
some extent about the town and
the parties will be prosecuted to
the full extent of the law if the
officers can get their clutches on
them.

CAN'T FLOW
INTO RIVER

Frank E. Marsh, the civil engi-
neer of Kalispell, who has been
doing considerable work for the city
in establishing the street grades,
was in the city last week to look
over ground with view to finding
out how a sewer system can be con-
structed to the best advantage.
The state law forbids the empty
ing of any sewerage into any
|stream, SO the plan he centem-
plates is sewerage disposal plant,
which is similar to that used in the
Mississippi valley, where there are
no streams to drain into.
The system consists of regula-
ton sewer, the same as is used
under all general conditions, which
is drained into what is known as a
septic tank. This consists of a
large concrete reservoir, which is
practically air tight and must admit
no light. The sewerage runs into
it in such way as not to disturb
the contents in the least, and in a
short time it breeds certain bac-
terra that dcstr VS. all solid matter,
reducing everything to a liquid, and
leaving only a brown sediment
which settles to the bottom and has
to be cleaned out only once in a
great while. The liquid is drained
into another tank by a syphon at
regular intervals, then goes thru a
filtering process and is discharged
into the stream as clear and spark
ling as water could be.
This septic tank can be placed
any place on the river bank where
it will be the most convenient and
is perfectly sanitary, giving off nc
odors as would be naturally sus'
pected. The system is more ex.
pensive than it would lie to empty
the sewerage into the river direct
but it will be the only one that car
be used in order to comply with the
state law.

PRAISE FOR LIBBY.

Jim Brooks, Louie Mueller, Guy
White and Jack Mcneil went to
Libby last week to look over the
land along the Kootenai river that
had been thrown open to settle
ment, with the intentions of filing
on piece of it if there was any to
be had. but they found that it had
already been taken up and returned
very much disappointed. All the
boys feel very highly elated over
Libby, especially over the treat
ment that was accorded them there
by the citizens during their brief
stay. They say that it seemed as
if everyone was trying to see how
pleasant they could make if for
them, which was greatly appreciat-
ed.

ATTEMPTED HOLD-yP
AT FIELDING STORE

Jack Cremans, who is tending
the store at Fielding, where the con-
struction camps are located, had
quite an exciting experience last
Friday evening with man who at
tempted to hold up the place.
1t was at late hour when Jack
heard rap at the door, which he
saluted with, ''come in" but no
one entered. A voice outside de-
manded that the door be opened
for him. Jack was all alone, and
it was at time when no one had
any business around. He grew sus-
picious that the man was there for
no good, SO he blew out the light,
secured his gun and barricaded
himself behind the counter, pre-
pared for a fight. The man still
insisted on having the door opened,
and when Jack would not do so he
shot thru it, which was responded
to by volley from Jacks gun that
sent the intruder scurrying to cover,
and he did not come back to bother
him any more.

CHAMBER OF COM
MERGE MEETING

Tuesday evening February Is, is
the regular annual meeting of th..
Chamber of Commerce for the cleo
ton of officers for the coming year.
Every business man in Whitefsh
should be interested in this meeting
and be on hand. The Chamber of
Commerce is too important to the
interests of the city to be allowed to
die out, and everyone who does
business here is interested in
naming the managers; therefore be
on hand at the meeting and have
your say in the matter. If things
are not going as well as you would
like to have them go, be present
and make an effort to remedy the
defects. If you do not come out
do not register any kicks afterwards.
There is great deal of work
that has to be done this spring and
it is desired to have the co-opera-
ton of everyone on this matter.
The past year has been very sue
cessful one for the Chamber of
Commerce and they have done a
great deal of good in advancing the
interests of Whitefish. In order to
keep up this good work everyone
must come out and help the cause
along. Don't forget the date.

CAFE PROPRIETORS
TAKE FRENCH LEAVE

Mr.. and Mrs. J. II. Biggs, who
came here few weeks ago and pur-
chased the Home Restaurant from
Mrs. J. A. Beldcn, had short
career, but it was long enough to
suit their long list of creditors, who
can do nothing but stare at the
empty cage, as the bird has flown.
Mrs. Biggs, who was the man
ager of the deal, is quite an elderly
lady with a glib tongue, and a
very smooth way, and knew how to
work it to good advantage in Sc
curing credit for everything that
she used since she started. She
served excellent meals and did a
fine business, which was easy
enough on other peoples money,
and then when they thought they
had run the length Of their rope,
they slipped quietly out on No. 1
Saturday night, leaving everything
as it stood. They had nothing to
take away with them but a couple
of suit cases, so it was easy for
them to get out of town without at
tracing anyone's attention. A
number of people saw them at the
depot, but did not think that they
were taking French leave. Several
of the merchants are quite heavy
losers, besides two girls who
worked for them, that had not re-
Fceived any wages, and it will prob
ably be hard for them to get any
thing out of the deal as they have
no doubt left the state, and none of
the effects in the restaurant were
even partly paid for.

MANY CHILDREN
AT SUNDAY SCHOOL

The children's meeting at the
Methodist church last Sunday was
quite success. Rev. Parvin had
promised little book to each child
present and laid in supply which
he thought would be sufficient, but
to his surprise there were IS child
rem claiming books, and the supply
was short. Mr.. Parvin explained
to the children that he was not ex-
pecting SO many out, and that he
would order more books at once
and those who failed to get them
last Sunday would get them later.
There were fully as many grown
people present as there was chill
dren.

TO WEIGH
THE MAIL

Government inspectors on Febru-
ary Is will begin to weigh the
mails carried on the trains in the
western district, which embraces
all the states west of Minnesota.
They will weigh the mails daily for
three months and on the basis of
the average for that period the rail-
roads will be paid for the next four
years.
Everything indicates that the
Great Northern will be allowed to
carry the mail to. the Pudget Sound
country, intervening points and
Alaska from the Twin Cities for the
next four years. The forty eight
hour fast mail has made splendid
record since it's establishment last
fall.
While the postoffice department
does not enter into an ironclad con-
tract with the railroads for four
years it is recognized as binding if
the service continues satisfactory
The failure of the Chicago Milwau-
kee & St. Paul, therefore, to put on
a fast mail train, with no record of
achievement to back any applica-
tion it might make for the service,
probably will prevent it from enter
ing the through mail field for the
next four years.
Officials generally assert that
there is no profit in carrying the
mails, although the revenue of the
Great Northern from that source
aggregates more than $1,000, 900
annually. The fact remains that
there is not road III the country
which does not seek to handle the
mail. To carry the mails is a big
advertising asset.
The only contingency that may
prevent the Great Northern from
getting the mail contract for the
next four years is the passage of an
act providing that the mails should
be weighed every year. A bill was
introduced to that effect during the
last session of congress, but it failed
of passage.
The railroads would like to see
the mails weighed annually" said
a railroad man. THE volume OF
mail increases considerably each
year, especially thru a section like
the northwest where the country is
constantly advancing"

COUNCIL
PROCEEDINGS

The city council held their regu-
lar monthly meeting Monday eve
ming in the city hall. All were
present except Aldermen McCabe
and Forcum.
The police magistrate reported
that he had collected $146 in fines
during the month of January. and
the treasurer's report shows the city
treasury in very prosperous condi-
ton, it containing $2799. so on jan
uary 81.
The resignation of Alderman J.
H. McCabe, who has left the city,
was read and accepted and it was
ordered by the mayor that the clerk
write Mr.. McCabe a letter, extend
ing to him the thanks of the peo-
pie of Whitefish for his long and
efficient service as a member of the
council. The mayor then sug-
gested the name of J. J. Johns to
fill the unexpired term, and he was
duly elected.
The committee had been in
structed at the previous meeting to
draw up an ordinance defining GER
tain fire limits, that will regulate
the erection of all buildings therein
in the future, and allow none to be
built but such as are constructed of
fire proof materials, such as brick,
stone or concrete. Such an ordi-
nance was read, and after some dis
cussion was referred to the ordi-
nance committee for theirapproval,
to be brought up at the next meet
ing.
1t was expected that there would
be on hand for this meeting a re-
port from Engineer Marsh on the
sewer proposition, but it had not
reached here, so the matter was
laid over until little later when a
special meeting will be called to
consider this proposition, pend
ing the arrival of the information
1t is the sentiment of the council
to get this proposition, under way,
so that it can be submitted to a
vote OF the people at the regular
election in April and thereby save
the city an additional expense of a
special election.
J. E. Cavanaugh, representing a
committee of merchants, appeared
before the council requesting that
the city put on another night
watchman. His special duties be-
ing to watch the business district
The merchants are willing to pay
into the city treasury $50 pei
month toward his salary, provided
the city secures the man and pays
the balance, which will amount tc
SIS for the city's share. This re.
quest was granted by the council
