G. N. RUSHES WORK
ON BLUESTEM LINE

Construction work on the Blue
stem-Columbia branch of the Great
Northern to terminate at the juno.
tion Of the Spokane river with the
broad Columbia, 43 miles from Blue
stem on the main line, is being push
ed, especially on the first Is miles,
which will be graded before bad
winter weather sets in.
Yards in Davenport were staked
by Engineer G. S. Lamphere and
actual construction inside the city
limits will be begun some time this
week. A portion of the yards will
occupy the east end OF the grounds
of the Lincoln County Fair Associa-
tion and depot site is expected to
be staked later at the crossing of
the railroad with Morgan street, a
short distance from the present en-
trance to the fair grounds.

WORK ON
ELECTRIC ROAD
WORK WILL CONTINUE ALL
WINTER IN PLACES WHERE
DEEP CUTS ARE MADE.

The work on the Flathead inter
urban line has been hampered some
what the last week on account OF
the snow and stormy weather, but
as soon as the weather gets settled
again work will be resumed.
The engineers are now engaged
near the Christensen ranch, ten
miles northwest of Kalispell laying
out some of the heavy grades, in
which work can be carried on all
winter.
About seventeen miles of the right
of-way have been secured, by Christ
Prestbye. who is a persistent work
er and booster for the road. Prest-
bye, it is understood. is planning a
townsite on his land II miles north
west of Kalispell on the saltwater
river. At the present time no ef-
fort has been made to secure a
right-of-way from that point to
Whitefish. as it is not known Just
what route will be taken until a
survey is made to find the easiest
grade.

DRASTIC LAW FOR
SOME INDUSTRIES

Montana bakeries, confectionery
stores, meat markets and restaur-
ants must be kept clean enough to
pass the state inspection after Jan.
lst next. when the new license law

The new law contains a number of
new and rather draa.id provisions
and makes the local health officials
responsible for its enforcement. The
county commissioners and city coun-
Gil must furnish the necessary funds
and assistance to properly enforce
the law. Every bakery. CONNECTION

Brakeman G. L. Anderson, who

him in the shoulder and knocked
him away from the rails, otherwise
he might have been run over. Con-

SOUTH FORK PHONE
LINE COMPLETED

Forest Ranger John Kruse, with
headquarters at the Coram station
was in town Tuesday and in CONVEX
sation with a reporter gave out SOM
very interesting information con.
corning the work of the forestry de.
partment in the South Fork dis.
trict.
By the end Of the present week
the extra crews which have been
working all summer will have com
pleted telephone line extending
from Kalispell to Swan lake, a dis
tance of 120 miles, with six tele-
phones installed, one each at the
Coram station, Hungry Horse, Riv-
erside, Coal Banks, Spotted Bear
and Swan Lake.
Besides the building of the tele-
phone line; many miles of new trail
have been cut, and no one appreci-
ates this work more than the settler
and hunters who have heretofore
been compelled to traverse those
mountains by the old foot trail,
which in places were almost impass-
able and with grades that were
heart-killing to climb. At the pres
ent time, however. the government
has trail that can be travelled by
anyone, young or old, male or fe-
male. The old grades have been
reduced and the new trail widened
and cut out, and in doing this the
distances have been considerably
shortened.
During the winter months but
three stations will be. maintained
the ones at Coram, Spotted Bear and
Swan Lake. and the extra men will
be laid off until spring. Supervisor
Bunker has been in charge OF the
undertaking and his showing is sur
prising to those familiar with this
class of work.
At the present time telephone
communication may be had from
any city in Flathead valley with any
of the above stations, and from
this statement enc can realize the
valuable work that the forestry de-
partment is doing in this section of
Montana.-Columbian.

Will Vote on School Bonds and on
Two Sites for the School
Buildings.
SITE FOR LAKESIDE SCHOOL PICKED COMMITTEE
VOTERS WILL HAVE CHOICE THREE AND POSSIBLY
FOUR DIFFERENT FROM FOR CENTRAL
SCHOOL.

A school meeting was held last
Friday evening by the school board
which was attended by a few inter
ested citizens to listen to the re-
port of the committee on school
sites, and to set a date for a spe-
cial election.
The committee, comprised Of Dr..
H. E. Houston, Jas. Cavanaugh, W.
A. Depew, E. o. Larter and w. O.
Hutchinson, reported that five sites
were up for consideration as follows
One for the Lakeside school, two
blocks east of Dakota avenue, or
about three blocks east Of the city
water tank. The price asked by the
Townsite company for this block of
ground is 5000, and the cost of the
building to be between $1,000 and
$4,000.
The four sites under considera-
tion for the main central high schos
building are block 80, known as the
baseball park, and block "a, opposite
the Sunshine hotel, bounded on the
north by First street, on the east
by Kahspell avenue and on the
south by Second street. The Town
site company wants $1,000 each
for these lots.
The Riverside Improvement COM
pany, who was represented by VIM.
Parent at this meeting, announced
that that company would donate a
block in their addition for the pur-
pose of erecting a school, This

EAST SH|vERS
IN GRIP Of
STORM king
BIG DROP IN TEMPERATURE AC-
CONfPANIED BY CYCLONES
SEVERAL DEATHS,

Again we hear great many kicks
about the Flathead weather. New ar
rivals have been told about the
beautiful fall weather we have here
until up to Christmas time; how
there is practically no cold weather
at all and that the lake does not
freeze up until after the first of the
year. We have advertised it as the
banana belt Of Montana, but the
cold wave that made its appearance
last week knocked down all our
props and all we could do was to look
cheerful as possible and accept all
the abuse that was heaped upon us.
We had nothing to say of course for
the time being, but waited and
watched for developments in other
parts of the country. We could not
make ourselves believe that the
Flathead was suffering worse than
any other section. The Flathead
has always been the favored spot
and it would surely be hcodoo of
some kind If any other section of
the country got the best of us.
Reports came from the east about
the nice warm weather they were
having back there, and the new
arrivals fumed that Montana was
truly living up to the stories in the
east that Montana was a state of
storms and billiards. and extreme
cold weather. OF course we felt
glum and it made us feel pretty sore
at the weather man for placing us in
such an embarrassing position, but
he that laughs last laughs best. Now
just listen to what they are having
in other sections:

POISON BAY
IS FROZEN OVER

Navigation on Flathead lake is
probably closed for the winter and
Poison will be shut in from the out
side world until spring unless the
weather warns up sufficiently to
break up the ice in Poison Bay.
The lower lake from Poison to the
Narrows is frozen over. The steam
er Klondyke got as far as the Mar
rows Saturday with load of flour
and household goods. but could not
get through the Narrows. The good.
were taken to Bigarm, and the flour
taken back to Somers. The Klon-
dyke will clean up the business on
hand, and will then probably be
laid up for the winter. The boats
will continue to make the west shore
as long as the bay at Somers re-
mains open.

NO MORE
SEWER WORK
THIS WINTER
WATER RATES. WILL NOT BE
REDUCED AT THE PRESENT
TINE.

The city council held a special
meeting Thursday night to open bids
for the construction of a sewer in
the alley south of Second street. Bids
were received from the Miracle cor
poration in Kalispell and Sam Ode
gard. Odegaard presented the
lowest bid, which would probably
have been accepted, but when it was
figured out what the cost per lot
would be the bids were rejected and
the work laid over to some future
date when some way can be devised
to enlarge the sewer district. The
cost of putting in the district sewer
would be $1,1O0, and this divided
up among the 3S lots effected by it
makes a cost several times greater
than what the other district sewer
has cost the individual property
owners. For this reason it was
thought best to lay the matter over
and the clerk and the sewer COM
mittee were instructed to devise
some plan to enlarge the sewer dis
trict, so that the cost of the district
sewer will be distributed among q
greater number of lots. The sewer
will not be put in this winter.
The water consmittee submitted
their report, in which they refused
to allow the bill of c. S. James for
filling a water ditch on account of
the water commissioner refusing to
o. K. the bill, the water commission
er claiming that the work had not
been properly executed.
The water committee recommend
ed a system by which to handle the
water main extensions. Their idea

block is bounded on the north by
Fifth street and on the west by
Columbia avenue.
The fourth location, known as the
Tennis court site, lies just south of
the hospital, but owing to the fact
to this site would have to be pur-
chased, makes this location a rather
complex and difficult matter to deal
with. A portion of the ground is
owned by the Townsite company
and has never been plated, and con
sequently no price was placed on
the plat. The majority OF the COM
mittee seemed to think that the Ten
mis- court site was impractical on ac-
count of the many provisos entering
into the purchase of the same.
w. A. Depew, j. e. Cavanaugh
and Percy Dodds were named as
a committee to investigate if this
strip can be purchased in addition
to the individual property owners
to be done very shortly, SO that
proper legal notice can be given
in the required length of time
prior to the special election, and
also for the purpose of placing the
location UPON the ballot along with
other specified sites, SO that electors
can see just what they are voting
for, and what the cost of each site
will be.
The special election for bonds and
sites will be held on Dec. 2.

THE QUESTION
OF REGISTRATION
Attorney General Hands Down q
Decision in Regards to
Registration Law.

Voters for special school elections
and special city sewer elections dc
not need to be registered under the
registration law enacted by the leg
islature last winter, Attorney Cen
eral Galen advises the hoard of com.
missioners Of Musselshell county. He
further holds that the registration
books should not be closed thirty
days before such elections.
Mr.. Galen points out that the reg
istration law only mentions special
county elections, land it seems
wholly unreasonable to hold that it
was the intention of the legislature
that the registration books of the
entire county should be closed be-
cause some special election was
held by some school district within
the county"
The law relating to bond cleo
tions is a special act, the opinion
continues which was not amended by
the registration law. Regarding the
closing of the registration books
the attorney general points out that
the county clerk can have official
cognizance only of elections ordered
by the county board of which he is
the clerk, and that, therefore, in the
case OF special school or city sewer
elections he would have no authority
to close the registration books be-
fore such elections.
