pute, who has been employed in

years, and is we'll known to num-
Der OF Whitefish people, and knows
just how to suit their tastes.

diate future, but assures us that he
will remain with us for time at
least,

primary law", which has been
highly endorsed, but considerable
discussion arose on this subject
which brought out the facts that
the Oregon law is not wholly as
effective as it might be, and the
amendment was unanimously
turned down.
The nomination for a state SEN
ator was then called for, and B. J..
Mcintyre arose and made a very
eloquent plea for E. M. Hutchin-
son Of Whiteish, outlining his
past record in the legislature, his
forceful character and other sterl-
ing qualities. Geo. H. Grubb, who
attended the last term of legislature,

He said: Hutchinson has been

He was the only man in the state,
returning from the legislature, who
was met at the depot by the citiz-
ems of his home town and given a
good rousing reception. He has
been tried in the fires and not
found wanting. He has fought
the battles of the people to preserve
the property of the state and de-
serves the honor. He is a man
who came home without the
taint of coal oil or tnrpentine upon
him. There were hearty cheers
and a motion passed that E. M.
Hutchinson be the unanimous
choice of the convention. B. J..
Mcintyre and Geo. Grubb escorttd d
Mr.. Hutchinson to the platform,
where he expressed his apprecia-
ton for the honor thus bestowed
upon him, and assured that,
if elected to office he would do
what he considered was his duty
first last and all the time. It had
been noised around Kalispell that
if Hutchinson gained the office of
senator, he would work for another
division of Flathead county cutting
off the northern end. He stated
emphatically that this rumor was
unfounded and that at no time
had he considered such a move. or
made any statement to that effect.
Furthermore he stated that he was
not in favor of any farther division
OF Flathead county.
Geo. H. Grubb of Kalispell,
John A. Lewis of Columbia Falls,
Frank L. Gray of Poison H. A.
Kendall of Kalispell were named
for representatives. A ballot was
taken which elected the first three.
Mr.. Grubb made a speech of ap-
probation and outlined his policies,
which are all along the lines of
progressive republicanism, and re-
ceived much applause.
The most interest was stirred up
over the selection of county coma

The FUTURE

w. T. Cole and Fred Pickett re-
turned Saturday night from Butte
where they attended the Firemen' s
State Convention, and report hav-
ing had fine time. w. T. Cole
was chosen as one of the directors of
the state association and also one
of a legislative committee to work
for the passage of a bill by the next
legislature, for the assessment of 2
percent on all premiums of insur-
ance held by fire insurance compan-
les in the state of Montana. The

in any other manner are unable to
work.

them that everything would be
properly looked after in the
future,
Mr.. Ryan, a Lakeside resi-
dent, desires to purchase from
the city part of a street adjoin-
ing his property, and next to the
river and at present practically
useless, and on account of the
conditions can not be used for
anything. The matter was laid
over for farther investigation by
the city attorney.
A communication, from the
Great Northern was read, stating
that on account of their
pumping plant being worn out
the machinery would have to be
removed for overhauling. Dur
ing the time their plant is shut
down for repairs, they desire to
have the town furnish them with
water. They are to make the
necessary connections and stand
the expenses, and pay the city
for their trouble. The coun-
Gil acted favorably on this
matter and the water committee
was instructed to meet with the
railroad officials and make what
arrangements are necessary.
The clerk was instructed to
get in touch with some engineer,
so as to get plans and estimates
made for the sewer system, so
that some definite action can be
taken to sell the bonds before it
is time to commence work in the
spring.
Pete Arena was granted per-
mission to build another story on
his buildings on Railroad street,
and a sidewalk was ordered built
on the west side of Baker ave-
nue., between First street and
Railroad avenue.

MEDICINE

In order to settle dispute that
arose thru drunken quarrel, Fred
Anderson drew a gun on Lewis Le-
Frumbus at Essex last Sunday and
threatened to shoot him up. Le-
Frumbus resented, and took the
gun away and beat Anderson over

badly that he had to come to White

While here he swore out a war
rant for LeFrumbus' arrest. charg-
ing him with assault in the third

Officer Metcalf went to Essex and
brought him here, and gave him a
hearing before Judge Carr. He
plead guilty to the charge and was
given his choice of a $40 fine or
thirty days in Jail. He paid the
fine, and then swore out a warrant
against Anderson, charging him
with assault with deadly weapon
and threatening to shoot.
Metcalf then rounded Anderson
up and brought him into court.
He also plead guilty to the charge

JUVENILE BOSTONIANS
COMING

The Juvenile Bostonians, a musical
comedy company Of high repute in
the theatrical world, will be here
Friday night, Sept. %, at Skyles'
opera house, to give one of their
best productions, under the auspices
OF the Volunteer Fire Department.
They are now playing in all the
principal cities in Washington,
where they are making a great hit.
Dainty dressed, and with
pretty faces, the Bostonians put up
a performance of "Ransom,"
which would do justice to troupe
Of seasoned adult professionals"
says the Aberdeen Wash. World.
Many of the little girls have been
with the company since it's organi-
zation several years ago. The
Ransom is a clever little musical
comedy with more strength of plot
than is generally found in modern
productions. Its musical numbers
are good and there are plenty of
them. No old worn out songs were
sang Sunday night. Every number
was strictly up to the hour and the
cream of the season at that. The
chorus work and dancing were par
ticularly good. Especially is pretty
little Daisy Henry to be mentioned
in this capacity. Her dancing
numbers were far above the ordi-
nary run of things, and she is phe-
nomenally light and graceful. And
the rest are not far behind.o

The Republican county conven-
ton was called together in the op-
era house at Kalispell last Saturday
morning by Sydney Logan, acting
as temporary chairman, who opened
it with a short speech in which he
fired a broadside at the "Amalga-

COUNCIL FIXES TAX
LEVY FOR COMING YEAR
Dumping Ground Question Observation-Disclosures
Light Company Wants to Change the Light
ing System--City to Pump Water for Great
Northern While Their Plant Is Being Repaired

The regular monthly meeting
of the town council was held in
the city hall Thursday evening.
The mayor and all aldermen were
present. The treasurer's report
showed 81, 479.87 on hand on the
first of the month. The mar
shall reported that he had collec-
ted $146 in special fines and SIP
poll tax; the police magistrate
$96 police court fines, making a
total of 1854.
The dumping ground PROPOSE
tion was again taken up for dis
cussion. The committee having
the work in hand reported that
they had consulted with the rep
resentatives of the Townsite
company in regards to a 21a
acre tract just east of the town,
it being the only suitable and
available place located conven-
lent to the town. The Townsite
company asks $4O0 for this piece,
and stipulates that in addition
the city must build a board
fence eight feet high to enclose
it. This was considered a rather
exorbitant price, 50 the matter
was laid over to be taken up per-
sonally with Mr.. Grinnell, presi-
dent of the Townsite company,
as he is expected in Whltefsh on
other business at a near date.
The tax levy for the coming
year*was fixed at 16 mills. Here
tofore it has only been IA mills,
but a great amount of street
work is needed next year, and
the lighting fund is not in any
too healthy condition, so it was
thought best to levy an extra
two mills in order that the i'm
provements needed in the town
can be carried out successfully.
The distribution is as follows:
General fund A mills, lighting
fund l mill, street and alley fund
4 mills, fire fund l mill, and a
special tax Of 6 mills for light
ing purposes. No appropriation
was made for the water fund, as
that takes care of itself very
nicely by revenue derived from
water rentals, which is growing
all the time.
w. A. Powers filed a bond with
the city to cover the sidewalk
work he has done, which will in
sure their maintenance by him
for three years if defective in
workmanship.
Mr.. Tills, representing the
Northern Idaho & Montana Pow
er company, appeared before the
council with a proposition for
changing the street lighting sys-
tenn, which will give a better
distribution of light and will be
somewhat cheaper. His idea is
to do away with the arc lamps
that are now in use and substi-
tute in their place the unit sys-
tenn, consisting of 40 candle
power tungsten lamps with re-
Electors, distributed at regular
intervals along the streets, prob
ably four to each block. AS it is
now the light is only on corners
and the centers of the blocks are
in darkness. With the unit sys-
tenn there will be an even distri-
button of light all along. A
couple of these lamps are to be
installed on trial and, if they
prove satisfactory, this system
will probably be adopted. The
electric light company will make
the change at their own expense.
The council registered a kick
that the street lights have not
been up to the standard for some
months, and were informed by

Plan Free Band Concerts
During Summer Months

The Music Study club with it's mem
bership of 1S5 Birmingham women has
been industriously at work for some
time past TO secure funds with which to
inaugurate free public concerts In the
Birmingham parks this summer. A MEM
Der of the canvassing committee stated
yesterday that the club has succeeded so
we'll up to this point that during the
present week systematic canvass of the
city will be made for contributions to
this cause.
The eanvassers will especially approach
all heads of industrial concerns and EN-
ployers of labor, to whose interest il
would be to have their workmen and
their families find some sort of free en-
tertanment during their hours of rest.
Heretofore there has been nothing of this
kind in Birmingham. Other cities of far
less size, such as Meridian, Miss, and
Columbus, Ga, have had free concerts for
the masses for several years and have
found them to add much to the attrac-
tiveness OF those cities as places of resi-
dence.
The Railway. Light and Power COM
pany through President Ford. has agreed
to give $3.50 for the season. provided a

Conference Is to he Held
This Morning

A. H, Ford, president of the Chamber
of Commerce, Will hold conference this
morning with Secretary Babb and Others
to decide whether any official entertain
ment shall be arranged in celebration
of the first Atlanta Birmingham and
Atlantic train operating into Birming-
ham over the companys own rails. The
first train, as has been stated, will be
operated next Wednesday
President Ford states that but for the
fact that celebration attended the first
train he would unhesitatingly indorse
the plan to celebrate the occasion. How
ever, he believes the distinction between
the first train over leased lines and thu
first train over personally constructed
lines sufficiently important to cali for
special recognition.
AT the conference this morning will
be several well-known citizens and it is
considered very probable that some pro-
gramme will attend the first inbound At
lanta. Birmingham and Atlantic train
next Wednesday.
John l.. Parker, who is one of thu
moving spirits on occasions such as this
one would be, is very much in favor of a
public entertainment following the first
train. Mr. Parker said yesterday:
''The linking of Birmingham with
Brunswick. Ga, by specially constructed
tracks marks a new era in railroad trans
portation in export and import business.
Birmingham should not fail to grasp
the importance of the achievement and
properly notice it. | recall the entertain
ment given the first Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic train. bat there exists quite
difference between the two incidents.
| shall attend the meeting with Mr.. Ford
Monday morning, which. as l UNDERSTAND
1t, will be informal and shall favor any
move TO adequately celebrate this occa-
sion."
While no definite hour has been set.
1t is believed the first train will arrive
in Birmingham about noon, June l. The
first train to depart will be at 4:30 p. IN.
The right-of-way of the Atlanta. Bir-
mingham and Atlantic reaches the Louis
Vile and Nashville station, along Rail-
road avenue. 1t swerves to the right near
Alice furnace and passing the Atlanta.
Birmingham and Atlantic freight house,
narrowly misses the baseball park
grandstand.
The freight switching yards and round
house will be at a point near the old

In anticipation of the operation of trains
over its own rails Wednesday, the At
lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic an
noupces change in the passenger sched-
ule Affecting Birmingham.
Hereafter the Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic passenger trains will depart
from Birmingham at $3.50 =. m, instead
OF 4:S0. as heretofore. The change is eff
fective today. No changes have been
made In the time of arrlsals in Birming-
ham.

are secured. These. the Music Study club
believes, the city can be prevailed upon
to furnish. culpepper Exum has agreed
to give SEQ if other generous citizens will
do likewise. and l. Pizitz has made a
similar promise. Altogether the ladies
feel that they have a nucleus of $3.50 in
sight. They wish to raise 5000. This
would secure a fine band of % to 30
pieces, well directed for Sunday after
moons and two night concerts a week
through the summer season.
The Musicians union has co-opers ted
with the Music Study club in its efforts
and will make some concessions as to
price for playing. The initial concert to
be given by the union in the near future
will be an earnest of what they can give
during the entire summer if the necessary
funds are secured.
The Music Study club feels that it rep
resents good cause-one for the benefit
of the masses and as well for the benefit
of the employers of labor and the entire
public. Other cities provide some form
of Sunday entertainment. than which the
ladies point out nothing does more to
secure a happy and contented set of
workingmen. They believe it is a good
community cause and are confident of
raising the necessary money.
