The Borromaeo Club of Whitefish
is a Society, composed exclusively
of Catholic men of Whitefish, bande
together to promote the educational
side of life in the community, from
secular or non-sectarian stand
point. The speakers to be brought
to Whitefish will be men of nation
FL and international repute, lead
ers in their own particular sphere
of thought. Mr.. Henry George, Jr.,
is the son of an illus.rious father

deed many predict that the near
future will see Mr.. George among
the leaders of his party in the Unit
cd States. A staunch friend of the
laboring classes, he is being men,
toned as a likely candidate for the
vice-presidency in the general cleo

predict capacity house for Mr..
George on March s. This is as it
should be. If the people of White

MONTANA APPLES

California oranges in Montana. That

from one of it's subscribers who is
sojeurning in that sunny cline just
now, stating that there seems to be
no California apples on the market
down there, and that Montana ap-
Piles are selling for five and ten
cents apiece, and that they are not
large at that. But oranges are plen
tiful at five and ten cents dozen,
and are big ones. 1t would pay
better to raise apples in Montana
than to raise oranges in California,
because apples here are selling at
five cents apiece, unless purchased
by the box, when, of course, they
come little cheaper.

NOTED LECTURER TOURING
STATE IN BEHALF OF
THIS MOVEMENT.

Great plans for the materializa-
tion of the Angel Point Chautauqua,
on Flathead lake are under way,
and r. 7. Hillman, a noted lecturer,
has been secured to lecture over
the entire state before church con-
gregations in behalf of this PROPOSE
tion.
His first date was at Somers
Monday night, and he then visited
Rollins, Dayton, Poison and other
points on Flathead lake. He will
be here Saturday night, and will
lecture at the M. E. church. He is
spoken of very highly at all the
places he has been, and lecture
worth while is promised those who
attend.
From here he will go westward
to Libby and Eureka, and from
there will go south and travel over
the Northern Pacific, and start on
tour over the whole state. Every
city and town from the Idaho to the
Dakota line will be visited.
The Angel Point ChautauQua is
a state wide movement which
is meeting with favor in every part
1t is intended to raise sufficient
funds SO that large auditorium
,r be erected at Angel Point,
where a course of lectures and 9TH
er educational entertainments will
be held for a few weeks during the
summer months. There will also be
hotel Accommodations for the large
grounds, so that while taking an
outing people can also be benefited
by being entertained by the best
talent in the land.

WANT LAW TO
INSPECT METERS
HE THINKS THAT ELECTRIC
LIGHT COMPANIES HAVE
TOO MANY LIBERTIES

Inc montana LOOKOUT publishes a
letter which follows, signed "Con-
sumer", who has evidently had
something to do with one of those
mysterious machines called an elec-
trio light meter, and from the num-
erous complaints that are heard
from residents here it seems that
his proposition would be heartily in
dorsed:
THE newspapers have been very
silent on the bill before the legis-
lature on weights and measures.
The text of the bill has not appeartd 4
for general discussion.
There should be a clause on cleo
trio meters making it the duty of
the state sealer to regulate and
seal them from all outside inter-
ference; even the electric company
should be barred from breaking the
state seal on them.
An electric meter is a mystery
to the great number Of users of the
juice. How many users of electric
ity, light or power, know how to read
it, let alone know if they are get
ting a square deal, and receiving
the light for which they pay?
''The meters are furnished by
the companies that sell the myster-
ious fluid. AS they come from the
factory they are approximately cor
rect, but they go thru the hands of
the electric company and are there
regulated to the standard kept
by the company.
"a meter is similar to clock in
internal construction, inasmuch as
1t can be caused to run fast or slow
at the will of the person regulating
it. The clock has balance wheel
controlled by a hairspring. To
shorten the spring would cause the
clock to run faster, and it could be
made to run so fast as to make a
revolution of the minute hand every
20 II 80 minutes, so counting up
the hours very fast.
| "The same regulating" can be
performed on a meter by simply
cutting off few inches from the
shunt wire. Now your meter goes
galloping along at merry clip,
counting the dollars into the pock-
cts of the company!
"Of course it is not done, but
oh! how easy to do it! and how
hard to be found out. AS you know
the company is veGy careful to seal
the meter, and to have laws to pro-
tect it from interference.
'The present laws are for the
benefit of the electric companies,
the users Of electricity have no way
Of knowing whether their scales are
fixed OR noe; they buy their light
from the company and accept the
company's scales without question
paying the price the company asks
. "At present there is no law pro-
tecting users from fixed meters, or
transformers to give low voltage
with weak current. The companies
attach more lights to one trans
former than it can carry, but nc
one ever heard of a reduced rate
for the reduced service.
> Just as long as your lamps glow
even if you dsn't have light enough
to read by, you pay the light com
pany for good service, and ther
, some"

EXPERIMENTS IN
CLEARING LAND
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TAKING
A HAND IN SOLVING THIS
PROBLEM.

If someone of an inventive turn
of mind would devote their time to-
wards perfecting some cheap and
effective method of removing stumps
he would have his fortune made
right here in this. portion of Mon
tana.
The greater part of northwestern
Montana is covered with forests
that are fast being cut away.
These lands, it he's been proved,
contain exceptionally rich soil, es-
pecially adapted for agricultural pur-
poses. This has been fully demon
strated here in Whitefish. Cleared
stump land has produced results,
and if the gardens had been given
the proper attention the produce
would have been greater still. Po-
tatoes and other vegetables have
been grown far over their natural
sizes; not hollow and without flavor
as is generally the case wnen they
attain an extraordinary size, but
sound and firm all the way thru
and are of the most delicate and
delicious flavors. This goes to
show that we have a very nutri-
tious soil and it will produce Won
derful results when put under culti-
vatiOn.
Each year sees the timber line
pushed farther back from the city
limits and each year finds more and
more acres of stump lands cleared
off and converted into gardens and
fruit orchards. The work is going
on steadily, but if it could be hast
ened little it would mean an
earlier settlement of this end OF
the famous fertile Flathead
The United States Department of
agriculture is taking up this prob
lem of clearing off the logged-off
land in Washington and it is hoped
that the country will be benefited
by their experiments. The Pacific
Coast magazine has the following to
say in regards to the experiments
being made:
Towards solving the logged-off
land problem, an expert from the
United States department of agri-
culture is at work in Washington.
He is being assisted by one of the
professors of the Washington Agri-
cultural college, the state and the
appropriated $4,000 to carry on
the experiments. These men hope
to prove that under the char-pitting
process of burning, the coast stump
lands can be cleared at cost of
from ten dollars to fifty dollars per
acre. Under the old methods, with
stump powder, donkey engines and
derricks, the cost is probably about
twice as much. OF course the pow
er-derrick method is far in advance
Of the former AK and shovel and
hand-lever method.
Experiments already conducted
in Washington show that stumps
can be destroyed by char-pitting at
a cost of fifty cents each, the test
stumps averaging forty-six inches in
diameter This new method de-
mands only labor and a few matches
the bark is removed from the stump
to a height of two feet; dry kind
ling is piled entirely around and
the heat and fire are conserved
much as in the manufacture of char
coal AS soon as we'll started, tho
flames will have been entirely cOv-
cred with clods and thick flakes O.;
clay. Thus tell stumps will bc
burned entirely off and by still
keeping the fire covered the root;
will also be reduced 20 ashes. BY
this process one man can watch a
hundred different fires"
