meeting

The council meeting held last
Thursday attracted more than pass

that the bids for the construction of
the sewer were to be opened, and
the council room was crowded full of
people, including the group of anx-
ious contractors who had bids in on
the work.
The bids submitted were az fol-

PUTTING OUTGOING
ROADS IN GOOD SHAPE

Through the kindness of the
county commissioners in lending
their road scraper the city has been
able to do some very effective work
on the streets. which is especially
noticeable on Somers avenue. This
whole street has been graded COM
mencing at the city limits on the
south and connecting with the
county road to Second street. in
order to get on the Kalispell road
now It will not be necessary to zig
gag out. Second street has also
been graded up connecting with the
Columbia Falls road. so all the out
going roads are now in first class
shape.

PROSPECTING FOR GOLD
ON SWIFT CREEK AGAIN

Considerable stir was created last
Thursday, when it was found out
that Louis and Fred Micho, the old
time prospectOrs, had come in from
the headquarters of Swift creek,
where they had been prospecting for
a week, with samples of gold they
had panned out of the creek.
That same morning Randall How
ell and his father joined the party,
and they went back up to look into
the matter more thoroughly.
Gold has been paNned out of
Swift creek almost any place along
its course, but it has never been
found in sufficient quantities to
make it pay. For the past two
years prospectors have worked up
and down the creek. finding just
enough colors to make the search
interesting. A year ago couple OF
prospectors came in from the Cana
dian border acting rather myster-
iously. They secured outfits and
grub stakes and went back up. They
were not very communicative, but
it was learned that they were pros
pectors and had evidently struck
something rich. There was rush
prospectors up the creek, and
several claims were staked out but
nothing more came of it.
The Michos have renewed the
search again. and it may be that
they will be able to find something
that will pay.
The Whitefish pilot. [volume] (Whitefish, Mont.) 1904-current, 1911-07-20

the council dismissed the contrac-
tors and took into consideration
each of the different proposals
with Engineer Jaqueth. The re-
suit was that Sam Odegard of Kali
ispell, was awarded the contract to
build the main sewer and w. A.
Powers, the cement contractor, Of
Kalispell, was handed the contract
for the construction of the septic
tank and filter beds.
The cost Of the whole contract
let is $13.058, which is considered
a very reasonable price. as the en-
gineers estimates on doing this
work is $4,000 including his cost
Of supervising the work.
Mr.. Odegard states that he will
begin construction work as soon az
he can get sewer pipe. and mater
ial on the ground. and J. c. Little
expects to begin excavating for the
septic tank and filter beds this
week for Mr.. Powers.

LAUNCHES CAUGHT IN
SEVERE WIND STORM

During the wind storm which came
up Monday night a number of
launches were caught up at the
head Of the lake and had quite an
exciting time getting back. Dr.Til-
lett was up with his launch and came
back in the storm. He says the
waves fairly rolled over his boat
and the occupants all received a
coed drenching. At one time the
water short-circuited his spark coil
and almost stopped his engine. Mr.
and Mrs. James Shoaf were up at
Swift creek in a small launch and
did not dare to venture out until the
wind died down. 1t was O'Clock
in the morning before they got home.
Several other launches made run
for shore, and the occupants walked
home.
Carl Steffen's boat, the flying
Dutchman, was just returning from
the head of the lake with a number
OF passengers, among which were
two women. The boat made good
headway until it rounded Vista
Point. when the rudder would no
longer hold her up against the wind.
1t swung around into the trough of
the waves and was in danger of be-
ing swamped, so it was run to shore
where it struck on rock and punct-
ured the hull. It was then dark an !
the occupants had to spend the
whole night in a track walkers cab
in. The next morning another launch
was sent out in search of them and
brought them in half famished and
drenched to the skin.

RIFLE CLUB
SHOOTS AGAIN
MRS. Il. L. LA BYRE AMONG THE
BEST SHOTS OF THE
DAY.

The Whitefish Rifle club held its
second monthly shoot last Thurs
day afternoon. There was a good
number of contestants present, and
the day was ideal, but no records
were broken. The average shoot
ing was below that OF last month.
B. e. Gibson, who scored the highest
at the last shoot, had an injured
hand. and not using his own gun,
probably accounts for his low aver
age this month. Ben Hotter, shoot
ing an army Mauser rifle, made the
highest average. Doctor Houston
was shooting his famous MAN
licker", but failed to make more
than a fair average.
The Whitefish pilot. [volume] (Whitefish, Mont.) 1904-current, 1911-07-20

Mrs. LaByer and her sister, Mrs.
Hutchinson, were present, and after
the shoot was over Mrs. LaByer
demonstrated that she could shoot
as we'll as any Of them. With her
husbands .32 special, in five shots
on the 2O0-yard range, she made
two bulls eyes, 4, 3 and 2 points
respectively, a total of 10.

WEIGHTS MUST
Be INSPECTED
SWEEPING LAW GOES INTO EFF.
Feet FIRST OF NEXT
MONTH.

There is one law passed by the
last legislature, which goes into
effect August 1st, of which little is
known, and the operation
Of which will undoubtedly be sur
prise to many of the merchants and
business men in this city. 1t is
lew of standard weights and meas
ures for Montana. Under it's pro-
visions every merchant and all per-
sons. firms or corporations engaged
in the trade of buying and selling
commodities, produce, or things"
of any nature, will come under the
rigid inspection of the state sealer
of weights and measures, who will
be the secretary of state, and his
deputy sealers. who will be the
county clerks Of each county. AS
explained the new law requires
every merchant, firm, vender, cor
poration, milkman, and railroad com
pany to present their weights, meas
ures, scales and devices to the
county clerk for Inspection on Au-
gust 1st next. They will then be
inspected and il found correct, will
then be stamped or tagged with the
official certificate of the deputy
sealer. Any merchant, person, firm
or corporation failing to have theil
weights and measures thus official
ly inspected and stamped are pro
hibited from using them until they
are so inspected, under the penalty
Of the law-which for the first Of
Tense is a fine Of not less than $25
or more than $500, and for the sec
ond offense a fine of not less than
500 or more than $500. Each day
OF use of such scales. weights and
measures after that date is consid

from the measure of a yard of rib
