CENSUS SAYS 1479
PEOPLE IN WH|TEF|SH

Whitefish has a population of only
1879 according to the returns re-
ceived from the census bureau.
These figures are not very large and
are not what we expected to hear,
but one must take into consideration
that this only includes the people
that were counted inside the corpor-
ate limits OF the town. This does
not include the Mckeen addition,
the Ramsay addition, the Riverside
addition, the Hutchinson mill dis
trict, the five-acre tracts or the peo-
pie living on the acreage tracts west
Of the city.
This does not even include the PEG
pie living on the Great Northern
right-of-way, which, though only
across the street,were not permitted
to be counted with the people of
Whitefish. Then, again, this being
a railroad town,it was a hard matter
for the census enumeration to round
up everybody.
Taking all this into consideration
the population of what may be calle
Whltefish proper, has been esti-
mated in a reliable manner to be
1890. Later returns will give the
population of Whitefish township
which will include everything out
side of the corporate limits.
The population of the city of Kali
ispell by wards is as follows list,
1900; End, ,625; 3rd, 1924. That
CT kalispell township, including the
city, is S,7S6. Columbia Falls 612,
Libby, $50, and Eureka. sos.

kALlSPELL WILL HAVE TO
BE SHOWN IN THE FUTURE

Every time an official of the
Great Northern drops into KalispelI
on a little business he is sure tc
be beseiged in regards to railroad
matters. Heretofore the question
has been, when is Kalispell to be
put back on the main line by the
building of the Libby CUTOFF" Now
it's about the through sleeper tC
Great Falls. Supt. w. r. Smith pay
an occasional visit down there and
always has to have little new dope
mixed up to hand out if he is going
to have any peace at all.
The KaliSpell Times had the fol-
lowing to say in regards to his last
visit, but the article was headed
MIR. Smith Was Peddling," so it
looks as if they have kind of lost
faith in his promises:
"Supt. w. r. Smith was the CEN
trail figure of a conversation at the
club, the subject under discussion
being improved passenger service
for Kalispell. w. R. Said he had
ordered baggage car on this run,
TO replace the combination car and
hereafter the regular train would
consist of standard coach, a smok-
ing car and full sized baggage. He
passed up suggestion that buff
fet car, we'll equipped with liquid re
freshments would be drawing card
for the reservation passengers admit
ting the thirst of the 'savages' who
come over the lake to kalispell, but
did not think Teddy was heavy
enough to control the traffic and
look after the rest of the train dur
ing the run from Somers to the me-
tropolis.
Mr.. Smith annouced that the
roofs of the depot buildings were
about to be painted green, in honor
of Bill Mulaney and he also consid-
cred a proposition to erect an arc
light above the depot for the bene-
fit of midnight bicyclists. A new
lighing system is being installed at
the depot along with other improve
ments. He reported progress on the
Great Falls sleeper, which it is pro-
posed to have slipped in here every
night to make the A connection,
and hopes to have it on the siding
for Cecil Rhoades the next time the
spirit moves him to travel across
the range"

HILL OFFERS
s1,0OOcASHPR|z
FOR THE BEST EXHIBITION OF
WHEAT GROWN IN THE
UNITED STATES.

Jas J. Hill, chairman OF the
Great Northern Railway. offers a
$1,000 prize silver cup for the best
100 pounds of wheat grown in the
United states, in 1911 and exhibited
at the American Land & Irrigation
Exposition, November 3-12, 1911, at
Madison Square Garden, New York.
Any grower in the United States
can compete for this valuable prize
under the following conditions:
The facts must be sworn to and
attested by two witnesses. Wheat
must be exhibited by the actual
grower Yield per acre. general APP
pearance and weight, trueness to
variety and type, method of prepar-
alton of land, what crops grown on
land three years previous. date of
sowing and method, amount of seed
sown and date of harvesting, are
conditions that will govern.
What These Prizes Mean To You
If you-just you, Mr.. Whitefish
rancher,-won that $1,000 Jas. j.
Hill cup for the best 100 pounds of
wheat grown in the United States,
don't you think it would be a mans
job? Wouldn't it be something to
always be proud of-the ability to
raise the best 100 pounds of wheat
in the United States?
Think how much it would increas
the value of your land Think how
much you could sell the rest of your
seed for. Think of the remarkable
advertising value this would be to
this city, the great state of Montana,
and to the Northwest. 1t would cost
hundreds Of thousands of dollars to
produce such favorable comment by
any other method
Suppose you won that 81 900 cash
prize for the best wheat in the
world. One thousand dollars is
quite little sum to win. Then
there is a $500 cash prize for the
best apples 900 Pabst cup for
the best barley-$1,00 Stilwell cup

SACRIFICES MADE TO EDUCATE CHILDREN

This is the time of the year when I
always feel like going apart into some
convenient Wailing Place and uttering
loud and heartfelt lamentations, for it
is the season when thousands of poor,
misguided parents are preparing to make
their annual sacrifice upon the affairs of
their children's alleged education.
In countless homes all over the land
mother is turning off the hired girl, and
cutting down the grocery bill. and par

making the coffee a little weaker, and
planning how she can do without new

wich instead of a good lunch in order
that he may send John off to college.
Sublime or Idiotics
When I contemplate these sublime and
idiotic sacrifices I never know wtqeh I
want to do most. to kneel down and kiss
the feet Of these misguided parents or
to rise up and bat them over the heads

for the sake Of their children's education
