Sunday evening a work train from
Whitefish quietly made it's way in
to the Kalispell yards, and began
throwing off track-laying material
near the new building of the Kalis-
pell Monumental works. Early
Monday morning large crew of
track layers were put to work as
soon as it was light enough for then
to see, and by 10 o'clock the spur
was completed to the landing plat
form in the rear of the monument
al works.
The reason assigned for the ear
'y start is that the company was
afraid some interested party would
get out an injunction restraining
them from crossing the public street
and determined to take no chances.
The monumental company expects
to do a large wholesale business and
built the spur rather than dray
their stock, which is very heavy and
easily damaged while being hand

renewing "reminiscences of the past,
greatly at the expense of Mr.. Muir

the butt of joke that he is not
likely TO forget for some time. At
least the subject seemed to be very
fresh in his memory from the vivid
description he gave of the circum-
stances to those who had heard
about it, but were not acquainted
with the facts. Mr.. Beakey gave a
very good talk on the fraternalism
of the order, which was enjoyed by
all and everyone profited by his
words of encoura cement.

SWEEPING REDUCTION IN

water and electric light rates. Here
tofore the minimum charge for cleo

This has been cut in half and the
minimum charge is now one dollar
per month. This will be a great

DRUNKEN FINN
SLASHES MANS THROAT

A Russian Finn, giving his name
as Ed. Mike, just recovering from
a drunken spree Saturday night
and feeling in very ugly mood be-
came 1nfuriated at one Robert
Stokes in Jerry Phillips saloon in
Kalispell because he would not lend
him a quarter to get a drink to So
Der up on. The Finn in his anger
drew out an ugly looking knife and
slashed Stokes throat about three
inches, but barely getting beneath
the skin, the wound was not of a
serious nature. Mike was arrested
and put in the county Jail where he
proceeded to give vent to his feel
ings by cursing and swearing and
tearing things to pieces in his cell
In order to quiet him down it was
necessary for the jailer to turn the
fire hose on him. A shower bath
of ice cold water had a very sooth-
ing effect.

H. D. Shepard, of the Travel
ing Mems Investment company, re-
turned to Spokane Tuesday after
spending about two weeks here look
ing over the land in this valley and
getting people interested in his prop
osition.
Mr.. Shepard is president of the
company, which seems to be very
legitimate proposition for hand
ling real estate. 1t is a sort of CO.
operative concern which makes each
one who purchases stock an agent
as we'll, and he receives his COM
missions of any sales that are made
through his influence.
The headquarters of the company
at the present time are in Spokane,
but since Mr.. Shepard has been in
this valley he has decided to estab-
lish his head office here if he can
get sufficient number of the peo-
pie interested. His plan is to dis
pose of 5000 shares of stock at so
cents share, which means that
$4,000 must be raised. This is sold

suitable piece of ground, then get
a donkey engine and go after the
stumps on a large scale. Clear off
large tract, till the ground, and
plant it in fruit trees or gardens,
which ever is thought the best,
then divide it up in small units and
put it on the market. BY conduct

PROTEST AGAINST
SEPTIC TANK
1T PLACED CLOSE no
THEIR HOMES.

The members of the town coun-
Gil are having great deal of trou-
ble in locating a site for the septic
tank for the sewer system. The
plans were drawn with two sites in
view. One on the river at the foot
of Lupfer avenue, but the residents
living close by did not like the
idea of having a sewerage plant
thrust nearly in their back yards
and entered protest, so the coun-
Gil voted to place it at the foot Of
Second street, the other site that
was figured on. This made it even
worse for the residents in that vi
cinity, because it virtually but the
plant under their front yards.
They entered such a strong
protest that the councilmen
had to abandon that idea, and now
they are searching around for some
other location, which is about as
hard to find as a dumping ground
was.
1t is claimed that a septic tank
for the treating of sewerage, as is
planned for this city, will not emit
any odor, but it is not very de-
sirable institution to have at either
the front or back door and the peo-
pie who have entered the protests
cannot be blamed for doing so.

He died Friday afternoon. Coroner
Waggener of Kalispell was called to

Mr.. George Kirkland and Miss

Whitefish. She was at one time

office for the Great Northern and
has a great many friends here who
are pleased to learn of this happy
event. They will reside in Kalis-
pell. Mrs. kirkland had great

ing vigorous advertising campaign
he feels sure that the land can be
sold in very short space of time,
and each stockholder will be bene-
fitted and the whole vicinity in gem
eral by the new settlers coming in.
Since Mr.. Shepard has gone, F.
w. Zufelt has taken up the work
and has been around interviewing
all who might be interested. Sew
eral of the business men have taken
out from one to five hundred shares
and it looks quite promising that he
will be able to get the required
amount subscribed.
Mr.. Shepard stated before he left
here that if the required amount OF
stock was raised he would move his
head office here inside of thirty
days and would commence work at
once in getting some of this stump
land cleared off. He says he sees
no reason why the people here can
not get together, and by forming
such cooperation as he suggests,
revolut1onize the town. Each one
who is a stockholder will naturally
become a booster and will work
with his best interests to see the
land about here developed and set
tied up. There being very few in
the town with capital enough to go
into the business on large scale, it
Is slow work in getting this coun-
try developed, but with sufficient
capital, such as this cooperative
company would bring, the work can
be done on large scale and at the
least expense.

OF enlarging the park fund to put

engaged VIM. Riemann to be the di-
rector of it.
Mr.. Riemann has just returned

success, and he will now try his
skill here in Whitefish for the ben
eft of the Civic Club.
The name of the play is "The
Town Marshall. a very thrilling
melo drama, which calls for nine
characters. Mr.. Riemann has been
very busy looking them up the past
few days, but as yet is not able to
announce who they will be. The
play will be put on in about two
weeks.

LOWER RATE
OF INSURANCE
THIS WILL CUT RATE ON Dwell.
LINGS IN SOME CASES
500 PER CENT.

1t was nearly year ago that E.
L. Geddes, the real setate man,
and one of the local insurance
agents, took it upon himself to Sc
cure lower insurance rate on dwell
lings in Whitefish by taking the
matter up with the various compan-
les which he represents, showing
them where their rates were exces-
sive and in some cases prohibitive,
with the excellent fire protection we
have here. In a letter of recent
date he is Informed that he has
been successful, and that a new
rate book will be out in about ten
days.
With the old rate, which is now
still in force, unless dwellings are
more than rs feet apart they are
considered a risk to one another.
When it happens that a number Of
houses in row are 25 feet apart
or less, all of them are considered
risk in computing the insurance
rate on any one of them, and in
some cases the rate is so high that
one cannot afford it. The new
rate book cuts down this range from
25 feet to 10 feet. There are cases
in town where this will cut down
the rate of insurance 500 per cent.

OFFICIALS TAKE
LESSONS IN AIR

Mr.. Parker, the Great Northern
air brake instructor, paid this Of
flee very pleasant visit last Sat
urday. Mr.. Parker is making a
special trip over the system with
his instruction car, posting up the
officials on the new-fangled devices
that are being put into use on this
road. Heretofore. whenever he has
been here, he came to instruct the
employees in the train and engine
service, but this time the men
higher up are compelled to pay him
visit.
The instruction car is most COM
pletely equipped with everything
pertaining to the air-brake appara-
tus, and thus Mr.. Parker, who is a
high authority on the workings of
this great and wonderful piece of
machinery, is capable OF explaining,
with the working models, all it's
principals and functions, and make
them so clear that the men can
not help but understand it thor
oughly.
Upon the proper working of the
air-brakes depends lives and prop
erty in this mountain region, and
the Great Northern pays a great
deal of attention and money to see
that all employees concerned in it's
use are made thoroughly familiar
with it.
