siderable interest in different part.
OF the state, and the secretary ha,
received communications from Con
rad. Waller, Lewistown and Grea,
Falls,wh are anxious to get partic.
ulars in organizing. They want te
form clubs also, and have a regular
state tournament at least once a
year.
Many new members have been
signed up in the last week, and the
membership now numbers IS. The
club has fine range all completed
and paid for, and there is still a
nice little sum left in the treasury.
1t bids fair to become a thriving or
ganization, as there are many en-
thusiastic members in it.
The scores made at the last shoot
was exceptionally good, and beats
those made at the last shoot of the
Minnesota National Guards, who are
considered good shots. Their aver

COUNTY SEAT ASPIRATIONS.

The supreme court having re-
versed itself in the Lincoln county
seat case, it leaves a number of 9th
er counties in the state in a state
of chaos, including Flathead coun-
ty. It is said that this decision rem
ders invalid the present county seat
Kalispell, which according to the
Interpretation of the court, is now
only temporary county seat, and
it will be necessary to proceed un-
der the general law to establish a
permanent county seat. This will
have to be settled by an election,
and Whitefish, Columbia Falls or
Poison will be eligible if they re-
ceive the majority of votes. AL
ready a movement has ben started
here to put Whitefish in line for the
the county seat, and a proposition
is being framed up that will give
Kalispell an awful run for their
money to hold on to what they have
got.

BY AUTO TO WILD ST. MARY'S

Building material for the erection
Of a hotel by the Great Northern
has been unloaded at Midvale and
work will commence Immediately.
Lumber is also being placed along
the line of the automobile road to
the st. Mary's lakes and half dozen
cottages will be built for the accom-
mediation of the tourists in that part
of Glacier Park. This will open up
another driveway into one of the
widest and most magnificent noun
tain and lake regions of the country.
Fishing in these lakes will be the
1lsherman's dream realized. Tour

Will present ideal places where many

1t seems ridiculous that the lure
for something that you cannot see
in the distance should lend such
an enchantment to make people part
with their money to an oily tongued
individual, who offers to give some
thing for nothing. How many peo-
pie are there now right in this city
holding the bag, willie the other
fellow is riding around in automo-
biles and living like prince at their
expense, just because they bit at a
get-rich-quick scheme? If one wants
to buy real estate a better invest
ment cannot be found anywhere
than in tAis Flathead valley. Just
talk with some old timer here. He
will tell you how just few years
ago he could have purchased this
or that section of land at price
that now sounds ridiculously low.
Today it is selling at 500 per acre
perhaps. Some people laugh when
stump land Is being mentioned. Five
or six years ago it was bought for
$40 and SIS per acre. Ask those
who have improved it and see what
you would have to pay for it now
if you wanted to buy it. 1t will sur
prise you. And then they say that
stump land is not worth anything.
1t beats a rock pile or a sand dune
a thousand miles away.

SEEN BY THE
PILOT MAN
CAN'T BEAT STUMP LAND.

A few evenings ago the Pilot Mar
and few others stood on one Of
the street corners. and in a casual
way were discussing all the great
questions of the day. from the high
cost of living down to reciprocity
The talk then turned into othel
channels. and the Flathead valley
and its bountiful resources became
live topic. Several of the old
timers who had been in the valley
for twenty years and better, related
their experiences, Of how they had
come here when there was nothing
in the valley at all, how they had
to freight in from Missoula, how
about Is years ago they could have
bought the very choicest pieces of
land, that are now bringing $50
per acre. for $40. and now their
dreams have come true. These re-
sources have been exploited, and
land in the Flathead is getting at a
premium except in this northern end
Of the valley. while it is slow
work to develop stump land said
one of the old timers. I'VE are some
day going to see every inch OF it
under cultivation. have lived in
several places in this valley dur
ing my years, but l have never seen
clover and grass grow like it does
here. l am firmly convinced that
this stump land as it is called, is
very much more productive than the
prairie land. It is true that the
land close in does demand good
price. Some day these tracts are
going to be right in the city, as it
spreads out. and then they will be
all the more valuable, but there is
plenty of cheap land in the vicinity
| can take you out to land a little
over mile from town, nice level
land too, that you can buy for $40
per acre. Yes, and there is enough
wood on it to last a man a life time
in the bargain. And just to show
you how clover will grow without
care or cultivation l want you to
come over in front of my house."
They went and were all amazed
at the patch of red clover growing
as thick as it was possible to get
the stems together and two feet
high. 'That certainly does beat
l have ever SEEN" says
the man from Ohio.

1.-THE BALD-HEADED KIDS"


The Whitefish baseball team Gre
ated quite a sensation, both here
and at Kalispell. when they lifted
their hats to the grandstand just
before the game. Everyone OF
them have had the top of their
heads shaved. They have been nick
named "The Bald-headed Kids. :
"O,horrors. cried one young lady
at kalispell, when they made their
bow, that's enough to hoo-doo any
team but the way they have been
playing ball since proves that they
now have cooler heads than ever IAN

to do the same thing with his men.

A ROAD BUILDER.

Commissioner Henry Good has jus
returned from the Good Roads con.
vention at Missoula chock full Of
new ideas on road building, and he
is going to use them in putting the
highways of Flathead county int
first-class condition, he told the ri.
lot Man. Commissioner Edge was al.
SO with him, and so was Road Su-
pervisors Bowdish, Zimmerman, era
mer and bennett. Each one of these
gentlemen are noted road builders
and the Flathead will certainly re-
ceive a great impetus in the build
ing of highways during the next few
years.
While Mr.. Good was in Missoula
he took the matter up with the gov
ernor in regards to securing a crew
of convicts from Deer Lodge to
work on the road to Bolton, and the
governor assured him that he would
give Flathead county the first or
der for men, but it would probably
not be until next spring.
II am going to use all my influ-
ence,' he added, ''to have this val
ley well supplied with public high
ways. This northern end of the val
ley has been neglected for a long
time and is badly in need of good
roads. Supervisor Shea now has a
big crew of men at work on the Still
water road. and he is doing excel
lent work. l am going to have just
as good a road out there as we can
possibly get. Yes, you can call it
an automobile road if you like, but
l don't want the ranchers in this
county to think that we are building
roads for automobiles only. l am
sure they will appreciate driving on
good roads, too, and they will not
be run off by the autos.
I'VE also have a crew of men at
work fixing up the road to Columbia
Falls. and when that is finished you
will have an automobile road to con
meet you with the road to Glacier
Park. You can hitch up old Dobbin
il you like, or the choo-choo car,
and drive over to Bolton in q few
hours. and you will pass through the
most scenic portion of the Flathead
valley. After we get the Stillwa-
ter road finished so you can drive
out there. you will find another
country that will open your eyes"

WILL FIX THE
BRIDGE RIGHT AWAY

Commissioner Henry Good drove
up Sunday afternoon to examine the
bridge at the foot of the lake where
the old dam was formerly located The
west approach had fallen in and rem
dered the bridge useless and dan
gerous. He reports that he will
have it fixed Immediately, and would
have had 1t attended to sooner. but
he was at the Good Roads conven-
ton at Missoula. and just returned
Saturday.
