HOW ARE YOU
GOING TO CELEBRATE?

. II you are not going to the head
of the lake or to the woods, or if
you are not staying at home, or
not going to the ball game, just go
to Columbia Falls.
The people of that town are ar
ranging to give everybody a grand
reception and We presume their
hospitality will be unexcelled.
Foot races, horse races and hu-
man races, a ball game, at which
time the reports from the Jeffries-
Johnson fight will he bulletined as
each round is fought, and a
grand ball, all of which is surely
enough to satisfy all lovers of lib
erty.
BY all means go to Columbia
Falls

July 4th Special.

These June days make one
long for nice new up-to- date sum-
mer wear, but the cost Of these
luxuries often prohibit us from
these comforts.
However, when one can get all
these things at such a small out
lay as to place them within the
reach of even the most humble, it
seems pity if one misses or is
without them.
In this connection let us call
your attention to the July 4th spe-
cial sale now going on at the Senay
Mere. Co. store, in which prices
are quoted. The ad appears on

SPOKANE WINS
TWO OUT OF THREE

The first of the series of three
games with the Sparks Bros. ball
team, of Spokane, resulted in quite
a decided victory for the visitors.
Whitefish started off like easy
winners, with Coins i'm the box,
but after the first few innings the
Spokane boys steadied down and
began to play ball, the score stand
ing 4 to & at the finish.
Errors were numerous on both
sides, although few fast and spec
tacular plays were pulled off. The
locals had several chances to win
but the fates always seemed to
favor the visitors at the critical
moment.
The game was clean and devoid
of wrangling; the umpire gave en-
tire satisfaction and left the ground
without police protection.
Saturdays game was uncventful.
but interesting, resulting in victory
for Spokane by Il score Of 5 to (.
Averill pitched this game.
Whitefish recovered a portion of
her lost laurels in Sundays game
by score of to 2, with Coins
in the box.
While the attendance at this
game was good, it might have been
better but for the fact that two
teams went from here to Columbia
Falls.

Of his children, who were occupying
the upstairs rooms, narrowly es-
capped death in the flames, and but
for the heroic efforts of his 15-year-

them from the frey fangs, they

The contents of the upper floor
were entirely destroyed. About
$500 worth of furniture on the
lower floor was saved
There was no insurance on the
building or contents.
1t is not known how the fire Or

follow, as he had only just left the

finement caused ly a wreck and
that he thought this a sufficient

BAD WRECK ON
KALlSPELL BRANCH

A heavy freight train coming in
Saturday afternoon shortly before
four O'Clock, was ditchetl and
wrecked beyond Rhodes crossing,
five miles out.
The engine was backing in, and
at a place where aftcrward nothing
ut all to cause it could be discov-
cred, the trucks jumped the track.
The engine ran for a hundred yards
on the ties and turned on it's si,|e.
Fifteen empty box cars, caught be-
tween the engine and long string
of loaded cars, were crumpled up
like a lot of pasteloard boxes and
piled up on the track. The loco
motive, 705, was smashed into
scrap iron, and how the engineer
and fireman got out of the wreck
age of the cab without being in
jured is mystery. Many an en-
gine has gone down high bank or
mountain side into q mass of rocks
with less damage than this one re-
ceived from turning over in the
grass.
No one was seriously hurt, but
Roy S. Cripe, one of the brakemen,
had his back and chest hurt when
the car he was riding went over.
L. N. Riley, another brakeman,
was thrown around in the caboose,
and his right shoulder and hip
were bruised.
The track was completely blocked
and it was necessary to transfer
around the wreck for the night
trains. The track was cleared and
repaired yesterday. y.-lnter Lake of
Monday.

Tigers 70, Kid Team II

The ball team known as the
Tigers, +" headed by Captain Ev-
ans, went down to Columbia Falls
Sunday and brot back the scalps of
the kiddies from the Falls by a
score of 20 to II.
1t was clearly evident that it was
not shut-out game. There was
no rag-chewing, or bitter denun-
Citations showered on our Tigers, as
has been known to be the case be-
tween other professional players,
and it is expected that return
game will be pulled off in the near

Play Ball..

Baseball is a mans game which
calls for brains anu Drawn and
muscle and good red blood. 1t is
passing strange that the fans OF
Kalispel will allow their team to
be discrelite,l and lay down to
Whi,efsh, because, forsoothe, the
slugging champions of our sister
town are sluggers by name or slug
gers by nature. The true sporting
blood woul,l best he manifested by
strengthening up the kalispell team
to such an extent that they may
hest the Whitefish team in any
kind OF contest they may offer
except rag-chewing. The counsel
given the Kalispcll team to refuse
to play with the Whitefsh team
again, anymore or ever because
they are too rough' is to say the
least effete. Baseball is not ping
pong nor yet lawn tennis and in
the fine frenzy of the game, love
taps are discarded. An eminent
member of the legal fraternity has
said he will subscribe hundred
dollars or more if needed to make
the Kalispell team the best in the
valley. There are others who will
gladly second this aspiration and
! provide means to make this team
successfully cope with all comers,
Whitefsh preferred.
As to the government and au.
thority of the umpire it is suggested
that his decisions be backed up by
the *. A. A., who own the grounds
Every team playing here will b.
acquainted with the jurisdiction o.
the chosen umpire, who may assert
his authority by imposing fines
the same to be deducted from the
gate receipts and paid into the
treasury of the Kalispell Athletic
Association, without recourse. The
same course OF action is recommend
ed to the Whitefsh Association anC

Business at High Tide.

Notwithstanding the reports cir
culated broadcast concerning re-
trenchment in railroad enterprises,
the Great Northern is doing busi-
ness to its fullest capacity.
To representative of The Pilot, :
Supt. w. r. Smith made the state
ment few days ago, that instead
Of laying off they are putting
on all available men.
When asked concerning move
ments in the motive department,
David Phelan, foreman of the mo-
tive department, stated that every
thing was working to its fullest ca
pacity, that every engine and every
employe in that department was
getting in overtime.
President Louis W. Hill stated
the following to press representa-
tive of the Pioneer Press:
I'VE have placed an order for
rails for $50 miles of new road in
Oregon and rails for other stretches
of new lines.
You must remember that this is
the time of the year when the rail-
roads generally lay off a large num-
ber OF laborers. They try to get
things in shape for the handling Of
the crop. Harvesting starts in
June On some parts of the line, to
be continued in others until Sep
tember. Then these men working
on the railroad are needed for the
harvest and we let them CO."

MACHINISTS ARE
GRANTED RAISE

The boys who keep the motive
power in operating condition are
feeling jubilant over the announce
ment made Monday that a raise in
wages had been granted, 2 cent
raise per hour advance being al
lowed by the company.
The machinists from St. Paul to
Minot are now getting AZ cents per
hour, and from Minot west Al cents
per hour.
This raise Of cents per hour,
t''gether with their overtime, which
in many cases is considerable,
makes a neat sum.

SHOT BY
A HOBO

Brakeman Frank Wood narrowly
escaped being killed last Saturday
from being shot by a hobo, for
mcrly a sheep herder.
The bullet came from a 3S-cali-
bre gun, and entered his side and
a little to the back, lodging near
the front ribs.
The shooting occurred as the
train was about to pull out of Cut
Bank, when Wood was approached
by the man who did the shooting
and asked if he, Wood, remember
ell taking gun away from him
some time previous. Wood replied
that he did, and told him to apply
at the G.. N. offices and his revolv-
er would be returned to him.
The man walked away and when
about two car lengths distance
4 fired, striking Wood, who was
standing sidewise to him. Wood
moved but q short distance when
'he fell. His antagonist fired again,
this time missing the mark.
Mr. Wood was brought to the
hospital here, and is now resting
easily, with good prospects for his
recovery.
The would-be murderer was ar
rested and placed in the Teton
c,Lnty Jail to await trial.
