According to the last reports brought in by c. K. Snow, the mail carrier who left Nulato on October 18th, the steam CTS Minneapolis anu Martha Glow com pleted the season on the Panama river, both of them getting hung up in the vicinity of Tolovana.

POST0FF|CE IN
NEW QUARTERS

Patrons of the postoffice here
are now required to change their
route when headed that way for the
mail, as it has been moved from the
old stand on Central avenue to it's
present new quarters in the new
bank building, facing on Secono
street.
Postmaster Percy F. Dodds has ar
ranged to add another new section
of mail boxes, for which there is
much demand, as the patronage has
largely out-grown their present ca
pacity.
The money order and registry
business has also increased to such
an extent that more assistance is
required to carry ON the business,
and consequently the lobby of that
office is lively center of industry
the greater part of the day.

FOUR OF A KIND.

Train No. 1, west-bound Tuesday
night, had on board four passengers
who furnished entertainment with
out the least effort to all the peo-
pie on the train.
They were quadrupeds about a
year and half old, and were ac-
companied by their parents and a
pair of twin sisters about eight
years of age. The father took care
of one, the mother one, and the
older twin sisters took care of one
each.
The children were very pretty
and attracted great deal of atten-
tlon. 1t is said the train constant
ly lost time owing owing to the con-
fusion among the other passengers
at every stop, as persons were 10th
to get off at their destination.
We have always claimed that
the Flathead is the most productive
region in the world, but we are
forced to take off our hats to the
state or community that produced
this prolific family.

GRANTED A REPR|EvE.

Fireman Cal Smith, Roy Eberly,
Engineer Eversol and Fireman
Hielman comprised hunting party
which went to Radnor. On Thanks
giving eve when the party was ga
thered about the camp fire to re-
turn thanks for their big-?- catch,
they found one of their number, Mr..
Smith, was absent and some alarm
was felt that perhaps he was lost.
They told an engine crew which was
tied up at Radnor, about his dissa-
pearance. and when they got in they
reported the matter here to a num-
ber of brother firemen. AS a result
Tiny Brooks and twelve other braves
organized scouting party to make
a search. On reaching Radnor they
found Cal resting peacefully in
camp, entirely innocent of the anx-
iety and anguish he had caused.
When an explanation was de-
manded at the point of bayonet,
Calls excuse was that he had follow
ed deer so far that he could not
get back that night, and after a
council by the band of rescuers it
was decided to grant Cal stay
of execution.

NEW CANDY KITCHEN,

An enterprise that will bring Joy
mingled with sadness--joy to the
little girls and young ladies with a
sweet tooth, and sadness and con-
sternation for the stingy old geezer
with a bunch of kids-is coming to
Whitefish.,
G.. L. Herrick of MissOula has
has rented the building which is
being vacated by the Public Drug
Company ON Second street, and in
about ten days will open up can
dy kitchen.
All candy will be home made ,and
of a high quality. Mr.. Herrick will
also install an ice cream plant in
connection with his candy business.
He is an experienced candy maker,
having been in the business in Mis-
soula for a number of years.
The equipment for the plant is
on the road, and as soon as the
building is vacated he will be ready
to prepare the place for business.

GETS THE limit.

Evidently the deer colony over
In Lincoln county had not heard
that Cal Bonner was coming up
that way, for if the news had reach
ed there in time the herd would
have fled for their lives to the
mountain fastness.
When Cal went up there he made
what seemed a rather radical state
ment to the effect that if a gun
went off it could not help hitting a
deer. But upon his return with the
trophies of his triumph, we had to
admit that Cal knew what he was
talking about before he went.
He returned Sunday with three
fine large beauties. How many more
ne caught is not for us to know, or
even insinuate. Anyhow, we think
Cal got all that was coming to him
from Lincoln county except the
county seat.

WELLINGTON SLIDE NO
FAULT OF c. n.

That the destruction of the two
Great Northern trains, swept into
deep gulch at Wellington, March
1, last, when SO trainmen and pas
sengers lost their lives, was due to
forces of nature over which man
had no CONTROL was the decision of
Judge Black in the suit of r. M.
Lavalle against the Great Northern
for $199 for baggage lost when the
trains were swept from the track.
The court held that the railroad
officials exercised the best judge
ment that could be used and that
under the unusual circumstances the
plaintiff could not hold the company
liable>
The history of the catastrophe
was gone into fully by the rail-
roads witnesses for the purpose of
laying the ground work upon which
to combat future actions OF a SINH
lar nature. 1t is expected the suit
will establish precedent which
will have it's effect upon other suits
growing out of the same tragedy.
The railroad is protecting its
| tracks at the avalanche-threatene
| points by the construction of con-
crete snow sheds, now nearly COM
pleted, at a cost of $1,00O,000.

sociation to organize a rifle club.
Twenty members are required to Sc

Mrs j. Duncan and J. A. Samson,
two of our towns people who have
been closely Unidentified with the
growth and advancement of White
fish almost from the time of it's
birth, and who have kept a little in
advance of the majority of it's citi-
zens, especially in point of building
industries. Now we point with pride
to our citified blocks, while we
Justly assume a metropolitan air.
This building which cost with its
furnishings, $4,000, is IS by 80
feet, and as the cut shows is two
stories in height besides a concrete
basement under the whole building.
The building was designed by
Architect M. B. Riffo~of Kalispeli,
at the dictation of the investors,
and constructed by Contractor E.
A. Knight. 1t is admirably arranged
for convenience and comfort.
The first floor contains two large
and commodious store rooms, with
suite of two rooms in the rear of
Aach.
A large wide covered court, which
admits light and air to all the rooms
facing, separates the structure into
two sections, and in the front the
west section, which faces Second
street and running along Lupfer
avenue, is Mr.. Samson's business
office, a substantial and CHEEKY
den, characteristic of the man at
the head of this enterprise. Also
fronting Second street in this Sec
tion and with side view on Lupfer

ing with friends and acquaintances
While there they were both persis-
tent boosters for Whitefish' and
succeeded in getting some of their
friends SO interested that they look

Pilot sent back there, SO that his
words that "Whitefish is the town"
will be substantiated, and farther

the street or the court, so they are
we'll lighted and ventilated. Besides
these there are the linen and toilet
rooms. Another convenient fea-
ture on this floor are the small
alcoves which contain a porcelain
sink for the disposal of refuse.
Occupants of all these floors have
basement privileges for fuel and
storage purposes.
The whole building is heated by
low pressure stem boiler incased
in a cocrete foundation in the base
ment. This boiler also supplies the
hot water for the building. A sep
arate hot water furnace is used to
increase the hot water supply ii
needed and for use during the sum-
mer months when no heat is need
ed.
There are four bath rooms and
eight toilets in the building, which
which will be for the convenience
of the patrons. One hundred and
twenty-one electric light bulbs fur
nish ample opportunity to provide
cheerful illumination when the
electric juice is turned on. Velvet
rugs and carpets will be used thru
out the building, and all of beau
tiful design. A large wide veranda
extends the entire length of the
building in the rear, which will af-
ford exit and entrance.
We congratulate the owners of
this handsome structure for their
appropriate and much needed con-
tribution to the comfort of home
lovers, and we hope to be able to
chronicle more of such enterprises
eveA and anon.

THE EO0L WITH A GUN.

According to report brought
here Tuesday, which could not be
verified, man living supposedly
living near SOmers, was hunting
deer near Olney, Monday afternoon,
and after being out an hour or more
came across the path of an
other hunter, who promptly took a
shot at him, evidently mistaking
him for a deer. The bullet took ef-
feet in the left leg, shattering it
badly, but not putting the hunter
cut of commission. The wounded
man turned in the direction from
which the shot came. spied the per-
son who had mistaken him for a
deer, whereupon he did just the
proper thing, and promptly turned
his automatic loose in the direction
of the assailent.
A large tree that was convenient
ly near served as protection
for the man with the ready gun.
and ducking himself behind it, pro-
tected himself from the fus1lade OF
the injured hunter.
According to the report the in
Jured man was taken to Somers,
where his injuries were cared for.
We hope to be able to give out
the census report in the near flu
ture as the announcement has
gone forth from the government Of
flee that the census will soon be

THE DUNCAN SAMSON BLOCK

a new era in business building, and
the promoters and investors who
ushered in this epoch of industry
deserve great praise, not alone for
their faith in Whitefish, but for the
masterful manner and ability dis
played in erecting structures which
span the abyss from the ancient
and antiquated hovel, to the mod
ern apartments, in which all the
comforts of civilized life can be en-
Joyed to the fullest measure

HALF THE MONEY
RAISED FOR LINE

While the politicians have been
busy for the past two months saving
the country, and the attention of
the people has been more or less
focused on the self-sacrificing pa
triot who were willing to serve the
dear people if given the chance, the
men having in charge the promot-
ing of the Whitefish & Poison Elec-
trio Railway company have been
quietly and persistently at work
worthy enterprise Now the announce
ment is made that they have Sc
cured the names of $50 men who
will take stock to the amount of
practically hundred thousand
dollars in the road 1t is now their
desire to raise the balance of the
money by Christmas time, when they
will be in a position to let contracts
for ties and poles for the road, and
begin grading and construction work
early in the spring.
According to the terms of sub
scription none of the money pledged
is to be paid until the full amount
of the capital necessary to build
from Kalispell to Whitefish is signed
up. At that time twenty-five per
cent of the amount will be called
for, ,and the contracts mentioned will
be let.
The company has secured the
right of way for the entire distance
from Whitefish to Cramer's landing
! on the lake, and has franchises to.
build through Whitefish and Kal-
ispell. All that is needed now to
make the electric railway reality
is to raise the balance Of the mon
ey required for construction, and
as stated, a strong effort is to be
made to do this before the year
ends.
The cost of the construction of
the track, including grading, ties,
poles and overhead work is placed
at $500 per mile. which was the
cost of the Inland Electric at Spo-
kane.
The people of Kalispell and of
the country along the proposed line,
as we'll as those of Whitefish, Som
ers and the lake shore, should sub
scribe as literally as they can afford
and do all they can to help make
the electric line a go. -Kalispell

Some interesting experiments
were performed last Friday, a week
ago, by Primo. Gloyde to illustrate
to the physiology class some of the
characteristics of carbon dioxide.
The experiment went to show the
presence of carbon dioxide in the
air exhaled from the lungs, and in
a room with poor ventilation. He
also illustrated that while oxygen
would cause almost anything to
burn, it would not burn itself,
fact the pupils were much surprised
