Disastrous Fire at Memphis

The little town of Memphis, eighteen
miles to the south of us, lost four store
buildings from its business center by
fire Sunday morning, which means a
big loss to the place.
Fire was first discovered in the shoe
store of George Roberts, which was all
aflame when help arrived. His loss is
$1,000. On one side was the large hard
ware store of Bartlett Il Co., their loss
being between $4,000 and $4,000. The
building was valued at $500 and was
owned by the Coburn boys. On the
other side was the drug store of Scott
Stevenson whose loss is 81 800 on stock
while DIR. &. ID. Lewis, owner of the
building, loses $1,000. The harness
stock of George Stone was wiped out at
a loss of $500, LOOMS estate owning
the building. The general furnishings
stock of Harry Bernstein was damaged
$1,000, but the brick store was saved;
six buildings on the opposite side of
the street had their windows broken by
the heat. A barrel of kerosene in the
basement of the hardware store ex-
ploded and several men were burnt by
flying fire brands. Fire protection in
Memphis is limited to two chemical
engines and the citizens made gallant
fight as bucket brigade. This is the
worst fire the town has ever ex-
perienced.

Mrs Wills was almost a stranger to

WORK FINISHED
FOR THIS SEASON

The Hoffman, Brick company has
just completed burning their last
kiln of brick for the season. The
cold weather will prevent any far
ther work until spring. Mr.. Hoffman,
now has on hand large supply of
the very finest pressed brick. He
has the only pressed brick factory in
this part of the state, and will no
doubt enjoy very lucrative busi-
ness when building operations open
up in the spring. For the past few
years he has been supplying the ter
ritory for hundreds of miles around
with common brick, but since the
installation of new machinery last
fall, he is able to turn out more
high grade article. He expects to
furnish the facing brick for the new
Y. M. G. A. building in Kalispell
next spring.

ticn of the birds they had been fro
zen for some time and thawed out
again before being found by Mr..
Ralston. Mr.. Ralston stated that he
had found the birds and feathers
lying by the side of an outbuilding
at the Inglis place and that it was
his opinion that they had not been
dead over "a hours at the time Pros
ecutor Stout conducted the case for
the state. The jury. after a brief
deliberation, rendered verdict OF
not guilty, and Judge Rognlien "cab

MOI IAhA RATES

INTERSTATE COMMERCE CON-
MISSION REDUCES TARIFF
FROM COAST CITIES.

Glass freight rates from Tacoma
and Seattle, Wash, and Portland,
Ore, to points in Washington, Ore
gon. Idaho and Montana, have been
declared unreasonable by the inter
state commerce commission and re-
ductions averaging about 20 per cent
were ordered by Jan. 2, 1912.
The decision Of the commission af-
fects all the railways operating in
the Pacific northwest. The proceed
ings were popularly known as the
back haul rate" cases, in which the
railroads charge for the back haul
from Pacific coast terminals to in
termediate points although the
freight is unloaded and delivered
on the westbound haul.
The carriers explained they could
not stand a reduction of 20 per cent.
Examination OF the revenues con
vinced the commission that the los
es would aggregate only about one
per cent OF the net operating reven-
ues Of the lines.

SOLDIERS SHOULD

Commandant Sprague of the Mon
tana Soldiers home is anxious that
the old soldiers within the state be-
come better posted upon the re-
quiroments for admission to that
institution, and this mention is
made hoping that other papers of
the state will give it space and thus
assist in its thorough publicity
At the present time the Home is
filled to its capacity, and within
the last few days several old sol
diers have arrived only to be turned
away because of lack Of room. This
is unfortunate, but nothing else can
be done under the circumstances.
The bylaws of the institution pro-
vide that before an old soldier can
be admitted he must first make for
NAL application upon blanks fur
nished for that purpose, and then
when vacancies occur applicants are
in turn notified. Application sshoul
be made to Commandant Sprague
addressed to Columbia Falls and this
will save the expense Of a premature
journey and the unpleasantness Of
being turned away because of an
overcrowded NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

BURGLARS BUSY AT

There were things doing in police
circles in Kalispell Saturday. The
first thing in the morning two bur-
glaries were reported. The Red
Cross Pharmacy had been bro
ken into and about $50 worth of
pipes taken. Entrance had been
effected by smashing a pane of glass
in the rear. The other burglary
took place in the fruit and tobacco
store of August Levi. Here about
$40 worth of tobacco and cigars
were taken. Later on in the day a
man by the name of Hickey, who
came to town with a generous roll
OF greenbacks, got to embibing toe
freely in the flowing bowl and was
afterwards rolled for his money by {
friend" The "friend" was caught
a little later on and is now Ian

SHIPPED TO WISCONSIN TO BE
MADE INTO GROUND WOOD
PULP
. -

The government desires to make
test of Montana larch to ascertain
its value for making ground wood
pulp and has written to A. E.
Boorman, secretary OF the Montana
Larch and Pine Manufacturers AS
sociation to furnish them with a car
load of small larch logs, six to IA
inches in diameter, and either, OF
IL or 16 feet long, to be shipped to
Wausau, Wis, at their expense. The
government is willing to pay all ex-
pense of getting the timber out,load-
ing and transporting it, and are
even willing to donate it from their
lands il it could be gotten off at a
reasonable cost. MI. .Boorman is TAX
ing the matter up with the members
of the association and it is more
than likely that they will comply
with the request.
If this experiment proves a success
1t will no doubt open UP new indus
tries in the Flathead valley, as there
are hundreds of acres Of small tim
ber that would be available for this
purpose.

Ralston expressed apprehension of

he pointed out that If the open sea-

MAKING t CLEAR
TO THE VOTERS
REASONS WHY THE CITIZENS
SHOULD VOTE FOR
BLOCK 81

The statement made in the Pilot
last week in regards to the school
sites are thought by some to be mis-
leading and in order to make it clear
to everyone why block No.34 should
be selected the following has been
handed this office for publication
''To begin with the cost OF ex-
tending the sewer and water system
to the proposed site in the River
side addition would be greater than
the whole cost of Block 81, also If
the Riverside site was adopted the
cost Of this expense would fall on
the taxpayers Of the city of White
fish. wherein the cost of purchasing
block - would be taken care OF by
the entire school district.
"In considering the distances from
Ramsey addition to the Riverside
proposed location. also from the
Lakeside.it would be about one and
one-half miles, or one fourth of a
mile farther than to the proposed
location in block "a on Second st.
1t certainly does not look exactly
fair to the people to move the schoo
from the present location in the
jungles. as it is. to more made
quate place.
''The above advantages to be
gained are ones that should receive
broadminded consideration in 10
eating for all-time this proposed
school site.
"By locating in block "a the build
ing will be a demonstration to visi-
tors and the public in general. The
idea of obtaining a free site in Riv-
erside should not be considered
when the fact is the expense Of the
sewer and water connections to
create sanitary conditions will be
greater than the cost of block "a in
cluding the stuanping. excavating
and filling OF this block preparatory
to the erection of the building. as
the excavation for basement would
be utilized for filling. and would be
sufficient to level up the entire
block. It 10 further contended in
view OF all these well-known facts
that the more centrally located We
