Blaze in reed Room Was Threaten
ing for Time, But Was soon
Under Con-
troll.
BIG SCARE SENT OUT
Distress Whistle Blew and Brought
Firemen Hurrying to the
Scene as Well as Many
onlookers.

Fire, believed to have been caused
by spontaneous combustion, started
in the feed room of the Cereal works
at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon and for
time threatened to do considerable
damage. At o'clock the fire was
under control and firemen say there
Is little possibility of its spreading to
other portions of the. valuable plant.
The feed room is located at the ex-
IRENE southeastern part of the plant
and in tits contained grain separators.
The fire had lcs origin in the second
story of this brick building and en-
ployes Of the company believe that a
piece of steel, hot from friction,
dropped into the grain and caused
combustion. The fire department
had four lines of hose playing on the
building and forty of the companys
men aided in the work.
The distress whistle of the large
concern blew loudly when the alarm
was sent in and several hundred peo-
pie we're attracted by the report that
the mill was going up in flames.
The loss will be less than 5000, it Is
said.
Because of the character OF the
building the possibility of fire spread
ing from 1t is minimumized. 1t is so
situated that the remaining buildings
are not hard to protect.
Most of the damage will be from
water thrown and to the machinery.
Insurance covers it, however.
Have Own Department.
The cereal works is well Protected
from fire out5.caks, the manage
ment having p1oh,cd from previous
fires, when apparatus was not at hand.
Fifty or sixty OF the cereal Mills EN-.
ployes were briskly at work when the
fire department arrived with their
own equipment, endeavoring to quench
| the flames. The huge water tower
stands in good stead at the entrance
to the mill grounds.
Hundreds OF persons were attract
ed to the cereal plant by the blowing
of the mill whistle and the run of the
| fire department The hook and lad
der was taken to the mills to reach
the upper stories of the building,
should other fires break out, but the
blaze was confined to the feed house
where the grain had caught from
| friction presumably.

CHICAGO, Aug. There are

MANAGER OF DRAMATIC
CLUB AT CUT BANK
BANK

William Rieman was over
from Cut Bank for few days last
week. He has resigned his position
at the roundhouse there and is now
manager of the Cut Bank Dramatic
Club. From reports in the Cut Bank
Pioneer Press, Bill" has won the
renown over there in that line.
He put on the first performance last
week, which is said to have been
the best ever seen in that town.
1t was given under the auspices of
the Ladies' Altar Society, and they
cleared nearly 500. While here
he was asked if he would not con-

said he would if it was so desired.

1t is not likely that whitefish de-
sires to be drawn into any county
division movement with Eureka. To
become a part of that county would
be like going away from home. We
belong in the Flathead valley
which is a natural biographical di-
vision of it's own, separated from
the Tobacco plains country by a
chain of Mountains. When it comes
time for this northern end of the
Flathead to set up housekeeping for
itself, the only natural division that
will make a good county, will be an
east and west line just south of
Whitefish and then it will be up to
either Whitefish or Columbia Falls
for the county seat.
The Whitefish pilot. [volume] (Whitefish, Mont.) 1904-current, 1911-02-23

There is fish hatchery coming
to the Flathead this coming season.
Such has been authorized at the
present session of the Legislature
but as yet it has not been settled
where it is going to be put. After
thinking over all the places that
might be desirable, there is only
one place in the valley that is THE
place for it, OF course we mean
Whitefish. Whitefish has every
thing that is required for such an
institution, and the citizens of this
town should take this matter up at
once and try to land it. Here is
something to get busy with, boys.

THE SENATOR
|AL DEADLOCK
(By &. W. Avery.)


Under a republican form of gov
eminent, with universal franchise
to all male citizens, tn, elective Of
ficers are just as good as the peo-
pie.
Now let us quit thinking about the
senatorial elections and cordially ad-
NIT that we are getting just what
We voted for. A majority of US
wanted just this sort of legislation,
or we would not be getting it. We
listened to the bewitching voice of
the campaign orator with corpora
ton Doodle behind him Then why
do we object to the Legislature we
elected doing the same thing? With
good senatorial timber in every
county it is a disgrace to the state
that there is not a senator elected.
But let us quit kicking, for we
have had legislators that did elect
United States senator's, and by so
doing disgraced us so much worse
than this legislature In COMPARE

vention.

WANTS To KID
NAP WH|TEF|SH
REACHING OUT FOR POR-
TFON OF FLATHEAD.

What is this we hear? If reports
are true it is about time that we
sit up and take little notice. TIL.
latest news out now is that this
portion of the Flathead, including
Whitefish and possibly Columbia
Falls will probably be forced into
Lincoln county.
H. F. Ennis was in Eureka Mon
day and states that he learned
while in conversation with a prom
inent Eureka man that a delegation
had gone to Helena from there Fri
day night with the avowed purpose
of doing something desperate to
effect division of Lincoln county,
making Libby the county seat of
the west part and Eureka the coun-
ty seat of the east half
Mr.. Ennis says he learned that
this delegation plans on taking ad
vantage of the last few days the
legislature is in session and will
try to railroad something through in
hurry. The way the lines are
now laid out Eureka has not got
quite enough valuation in its terri
tory and the talk has been over
there to get the north end of Flat
head county to join with them
which would include Whitefish, and
of course this would give them
good substantial valuation.
From the impression gained by
Mr.. Ennis this Eureka delegation is
going after things by storm and are
going to kidnap this portion of the
Flathead if possible.

1t will not be long before we will
be called upon to elect new trustees
for the school, This is mat
ter which should receive the atten-
ton of every one who have children
and even of those who have none,
as schools are the foundation walls
of our government. Heretofore too
little attention has been paid to
school matters. In fact there has
been very little interest shown along
these lines. Whitefish should have
better school facilities than it has,
and we can have them if the pa
irons demand it. Remember, the
women can vote on the question.
The Whitefish pilot. [volume] (Whitefish, Mont.) 1904-current, 1911-02-23

ed States cannot be called true
republic until the senate is either
,tbolished, or else elected by a di-
'cct vote of the people, In re
public the individual should be the
oasis OF government. In an empire
property is the basis.
The greatest source of wealth is
the products of the hands and the
brains of the people. 1t is plain
hat the Legislature cannot vase
yime on the election of United
States senator, and at the same time
give the industries of the state the at
-entiOn they deserve. 1t is equally
plain that the present condition
suits the majority of them, or they
would pass a compromise primary
law, including the expression by
the voter, of his choice for United
States senators.
The remedy for all political
-roubles lies with the voters them
selves; like voters, like l-gislators.
If you do not like the doingS 1T
Helena, why it is UP to the voters
to send better delegation there
next time.
