Statute.

Macon, Ga.-FOderal Judge Emery
Speer, in charging the jury in a peonage

that the defendants were acting under
the Georgia law in compelling negroes to
carry out their contracts, the law allow
ing planters to arrest and hold persons
who make contracts to work for a GER
tain period of time, and fail to carry out
the contracts.
It was this law that he objected to.

GROWING SOME.

The Chamber of Commerce did
a grand thing two years ago when
they sowed clover seed on all the
vacant spots along the roads thru
out the city. We can see it now
coming up all over, and it is grow
ing fine. The warm weather and
plenty of rain has worked wonders
in Transforming what used to be
almost blackened waste, left by
forest fires, into a vertiable garden
spot. The grass is growing up pro-
fusely all along the sidewalks and
the chances are that call will soon
be made on the city council to run
moving machine through it to
cut it down. One won't be able
to look over it pretty soon.

was the admiration of all who saw
it. He said he would get another

TWISTING THE TIGERS TAIL.

Sheriff Ingraham pulled off a per-
sonally conducted surprise party on
Essex parties last Friday night. A
store keeper by the name of j. NJ.
culver has been in the habit of oc-
casslonally indulging in a little polk
or game, with considerable stakes
ON the table, and is credited with
having told about that he had fixed
1t all up with the sheriff, SO that
there was no danger of any arrest.
June 22nd was pay day on the
Great Northern, and Sheriff In
graham was returning from Deer
Lodge on Friday night. He wired
Deputy Sheriffs Clifford and Met
calf and a special agent of the
Great Northern to meet him at
Fielding. They then went over to
Essex after the train had been
gone for an hour and a half or so.
and found game running full
blast. with about 1925 ON the table.
Culver was arrested and brought to
kaliSpell this morning. This after
noon he pleaded guilty to the charge
of gambling, and was fined $3.50 by
Judge Erickson. The money found
on the table was also turned over
to the state.--1nter Lake.

THE SALTWATER ROAD.

The majority of the people here
probably do not realize the import
anca to this city the new Stillwa-
ter road will be. Only a very few
AVE been out in that part of the
country and beheld the large tracts
of agricultural and timber lands that
lie tributary. Most people do not
know that this section of the coun-
try is all settled up with HOMESTEAD
ers. who for years have been wend-
ing their way to Kalispell when
they wanted to do any business,
distance of from s to % miles when
1t is only one-quarter as far to this
city.
IRIS road will open up some of the
nnest agricultural land in the val
ley. Over on the other side of
Tally lake is what is known as Big
Meadows, several thousand acres of
line hay land. One does not have to
do much figuring to see what a good
road out to that district will mean.
After the road is built, SO that
Tie country can be exploited by the
fomeseeker, it will mean an in
crease in the number of settlers.
and that will mean a larger market
for Whitefish merchants who can ex-
change for the products of the far
Her, for which there is such a great
demand here.
It should be to the interest of
every merchant and citizen to boost
this road along as much as possible,
and lend whatever aid they can to
get it completed at an early a date
rs possible.
