It IS A BEAUTIFUL SITE
Energetic Park Board is Doing
Things and Will Make it a
Beaatiful Spot Next Summer.

It's beginning to look like a real
park now. The board of park COM
missione1s has Nils Tongstedt at
work with 3 corps of landscape art
lists leveling off and raking the
ground over with hand rakes, SOW
Ing grass seed and laying out walks
and drives. Water Commissioner
Greiser has a crew of men at work
digging trenches for the water
mains. SO the work is going on in a
hurry and next summer it will be a
veritable garden spot. A drain has
been dug through the coulee to take
care of the drainage in wet weather.
and as soon as the septic tank is
finished it will be covered with two
feet of earth and leveled off like
the surrounding ground. SO that no
one will know there is such a thing
there except for a few man-holes. In
the spring trees and shrubbery will
be planted. Later on a fountain
will be put in and probably q chill
dren's play ground.
The park IL located on a nice slop
along side the river and this will no
doubt be the popular boat landing.
From here the boats and launches
can 90 up the river to the lake. Sew

the board to take immediate action
on the matter.
The board will hold another meet
ing tomorrow night, when the
amount the district can be bonded
for will be known, and date set
for holding the election. The clerk
was also instructed to get in touch
with some architect to get an approx
innate cost of what these schools will
cost.
Since the size of the district was
increased last summer the valuation
is in the neighborhood Of one million
dollars. This will allow bonding
for $4,000. This, with the sale of
the old school property, should net
a sum large enough to carry out the
contemplated plans. The board has
in mind purchasing ground and
building a large enough school
house to accommodate the needs Of

richest in the valley. We have
plenty of it and a splendid market

here; people who will till the soil,

must show what our soil will grow
An experimental farm at the en-

WOMEN VOTE ON
BONDING QUESTION
1t Will Not Be Necessary to Regis
ter In a School District of
SecOnd-Class

Considerable inquiry has been
made as to the right of women to
vote at school election for the pur-
pose of bonding the district to build
school house, and the necessity
for registration. The following
should settle this question without
a doubt:
Section 1904 of the Revised Codes
provided that the question of bond
ing school district must be sub
mitted "to the electors of the dis
trict.'' Section 857 Revised Codes
prescribes the qualification of elec-
tors as ''every citizen of the United
States who has resided in the State
of Montana for one year, and thir-
ty days in the school district, next
preceding the election, may vote
thereat. Women of the age of
twenty-one years and upwards, and
who are citizens of the United
States, and have resided in the state
of Montana one year, and in the
school district for thirty days next
preceding the election, may vote
thereat."
Therefore women possessing the
above qualifications may vote at
school district elections on bonding
questions. The qualifications of
the electors being the same on bond
elections and trustee elections.
In districts of the second class,
to which Whitefish belongs, it is not
necessary that there be any regis
tration of the voters, but any per-
son possessing the above prescribed
qualifications may vote at said cleo
tiOn.
The new registration law does not
directly or by implication repeal the
sections of the old law above quoted

WOMAN'S BODY
FOUND IN SEWER MOUTH
Discovered by Boys Looking
for a Lost Base
Ball.

CINCINNATI. August 5.-The headless
body of an unidentified woman. well
dressed. was found in Cincinnati late
yesterday afternoon by two boys, who
had lost a ball and had CONT to the
mouth of the Bloody Run sewer to find it.
The police of Cincinnati say the wom-
an had been dead for the last five or
six weeks, and that throughout this time
she had either lain in the part OF the
sewer where she was found, or else had
floated down from an upper part of it.
That she was murdered is their belief
A small portion of the head remained
but the police say that knife was used
to cut this away and to prevent possible

the body When they saw it they be-
came terrified and ran to the home OF
the Hughes boy. where they told his
father of what they had seer. He sup
posed they were joking, but telephoned
the police.
Before they reached the scene a rain
storm came up. and the sewer, which
had been dry before. became a torrent
of swiftly flowing water. The body.
wedeed in lot Of debris. was held be-
low the surface and the officers had to
wait until the storm had passed and
the water died down to secure the body
Two of the Norwood officers caught one
of the arms to pull the body out. The
arm gave way at the socket and another
wait of half hour was necessary.
When finally examined the police said
it would be impossible for her body tC
have been in the culvert unless he had
been killed and placed there.
The woman was stout, weighing about
40 pounds, and was about six feet tall
and between thirty and thirty-five years
old.
The case is the deepest mystery to
face the police in this section since the
Pearl Bryan murder Of 1895 Practical,
the only mark on the body is a deer
bruise on the chest, which might possibly
have resulted from driftwood striking it
