The Whitefish pilot. [volume] (Whitefish, Mont.) 1904-current, 1911-04-20

Conditions in zeal estate circles are
not as brisk as we have seen them
here at times in the past, but still
there is a healthy forward movemel
that means a steady upbuilding of
the town on substantial basis.
There is nothing booming, just a
continued forge ahead that will
mean a whole lot more in the long
run.
The people who are building now
are the kind of people that are of
The thrifty, industrious class, who
are earnest in their endeavors to
build up a home for themselves. Not
the kind who are merely building
for speculation. They are of the
kind that have been here for a few
years, and have found out that
Whitefish is good place to be,
and are expecting to locate here per-
manently. These are the kind of
people that will make a good town
and put it on a substantial basis
1t is very encouraging to see
the younger generation taking hold
and building homes. Heretofore it
has most generally been the ambi-
tion of the younger class to stay
here only long enough to make a
stake" and then move out to some
other place that had more to offer i
the way of worldly amusements, and
leave it to the "old heads and
home guards" to hold up the town.
We now See the younger men and
women taking an active par. IN
everything, and digging in to beat
the band. They are in dead earn
est and are taking an interest in
making Whitefish bigger and bet
ter city.
Here and there in the different
parts of the town you see each one
who owns a home hard at work max
ing spring improvements; some are
making gardens, others setting out
trees and small orchards, building
fences, building additions to smaller
houses, putting on porches, painting
ETC.
There are those who are building
homes of their own, and we give be-
low short resume of some CT the
work that is being carried on.
J. A. Yates, telegraph operator at
the station, is one of the younger
men who has been in the service of
the company for the past two years.
He will commence a residence in a
few days on Kalispell avenue.
F. l.. Graves, one of Whitefish' S
well-known carpenters and contrac-
tors, has just finished erecting him
self residence on Kalispell avenue.
He is now putting on the finishing
touches to the interior.
c. A. Capron, another old-time
resident of Whitefish, who has been
watching the progress of this little
city for some time, is now putting

OF Kalispell avenue and Fourth st.
H. B. Brown is not one OF the
young men, but he, too, has come to
the conclusion, after travelling over
quite a bit of this earth's surface
that after all Whitefish is about the
only place that seems like home land

tentious residence at Lakeside, which
will be finished up in modern style
throughout.
B. w. Avery is one of the newest
arrivals, and it did not take him
long to make up his mind that Whit
fish is THE place After coming
here on visit to his brother, W hon
he had not seen in thirty years, he
goes back to North Dakota, and sell
all his holdings there, and turn:
right around and invests it in White
fish property. He has alread!
erected a small shop, where he car
ries on his business as painter, ani
now has in course of construction :
two-story frame residence. TIL,

the inside finishing very soon.
H. H. Rupert is a comparitivel,
new man. He has been here abou
