FRUIT CULTURE
A COMING INDUSTRY

1t is announced by the state orch
ard inspector, w. j. Hull, that there
has been between $4,000 and $1O,-
900 worth of fruit trees ordered by
the people in the vicinity of White
fish, and that that amont will be
shipped in here for the spring de-
livery.
The inspector will be on hand
when these deliveries are made to
see that no inferior or diseased fruit
trees are delivered. which will tend
to deterioate the quality and lessen
the value to those engaged in fruit
culture.
Mr.. Hull states that the adapta-
bility of the head of this valley to
fruit raising has been thoroughly
demonstrated, and that without a
doubt this valley will stand high in
the record of this industry.
Flathead valley carried off first
prize over the world with the"Ro-
man Beauty" at the Spokane apple
show, besides winning six other
laurels. Watch US grow.

There are now 81 animals with

and deer in the park. OF the
latter four were donated from Green

being caught during the fencing
operations and one calf having been
born late in the season.
The park contains plenty of feath-
cred game, there being immense
flocks of northern prairie chickens,
blue grouse and ruffled grouse. Last
November there were five or six inch.

HOUSE PASSES
Fifteen BILLS
After a Month Comparatively Few
Measures Have Run the
Gauntlet,

The first four weeks of the leg
islative session ended Saturday, and
there remains four weeks more. In
the first four weeks the legislature
has only passed not to exceed fif-
teen bills, the only one of real state
wide Importance being the Donlan
white salve bill.
A comparison of the work Of the
Twelfth assembly with that of the
Eleventh is interesting. In the leg
lslature two years ago a total of
five hundred and thirty-six bills
were introduced, one hundred and
thirty-two in the senate and four
hundred and four in the house. Or
this number, two hundred and ten
were passed by both chambers, but
not all of these were enacted, Gov
ernor Norris vetoing a number of
them.
But the most interesting thing is
the fact that nearly one-half of the
total number OF bills passed were
shot through the last day going to
the governor late on that evening.

diets,

The way Cupid's darts took ef-
feet last week bids fair to exter-
inmate the young bachelors in White
fish in short order. Three we'd
dings in one week and the home
coming of the fourth bridal party is
herein recorded. 1t shows that
the town is not so bad after all.
The young fellows have all been do
ing we'll since they have been here
and they find that Whitefish is as
good a place to call home as any
that can be found on the map. One
notable feature is that two of the
young men believed in patronzing
home industory and picked out two
of Whitefish's fairest young ladies
instead of going back east for them
as has been the regular custom. OF
course no one can be blamed for
doing that, because the supply here
is SO far short of the demand. Fol-
this reason we will have to pardon
our city attorney who arrived Sun
day with a Kansas grill and the
young fireman who had to import
his bride from Canada.

BOY SCOUT
ORGANIZATION
Meeting Held and Officers Elected
to Further this Famous
Movement.

Last Monday evening a meeting of
those interested in the Boy Scout
movement was called, and local or
ganization to further the undertaking
was perfected. Geo. H. Blume was
chosen chairman and Robt. Grantier
secretary, the other active members
of the committee being Rev. CASTOR,
Percy Dodds and H. l.. Gloyde,
scout master.
The duties of this committee are:
Ito appoint scoutmasters.
2.--To recognize and register
troups and patrols.
3.--To award badges, etc. 1t is
entitled to representation in the
scout council which is a governing
board for larger districts or coun-
ties which will be organized later.
The committee is planning a mu-
sical program to be given in the
near future for the purpose of rails
ing funds to purchase badges, etc.
The friends of the boys will be
called upon to take part, a number
having already signified their will
lngness to do so.
Let all join in and help this
movement along. We have the
ideal location of the state and can
not afford to pass up the opportu-
nifty. Let us enable others, by our
encouragement and support, to gain
what we lost. The primary object
of the Boy Scouts movement is to
inculcate the love of outdoor life BY
teaching how to meet it's require
ments.
Thousands of men and woman
would be healthier in body and mir.
If they they knew more of the rocks
and the woods and the streams.
When Jack London coined that
phrase, "The call of the Wild" he
named an instinct especially strong
in the young. 1t is up to us not to
stifle that instinct but to cultivate
it and direct it. Through the Boy
Scouts we can do that very thing.

Martin Anderson, a young man
about 25 years of age, met instant
death some time Sunday night or
early Monday morning by being
struck by some incoming train from
the west.
His lifeless body was discovered
after daylight by residents at Lake
side, lying along the track, on the
curve, about 500 feet west of the
road crossing back of the Lakeview
hotel, frozen stiff and half covered
with snow. That he had been in
stantly killed was apparent from the
position his body was in. He was
lying on his back just over the edge
of the steep embankment, head
down, with his body all sprawled
out, just as lifeless being would
fall if thrown, and the snowt showed
no indications of a struggle.
Corner Waggener of Kalispell was
notified of the accident by phone an
upon his instructions the body was
left lying as it was found until he
could view the situation. None of
the incoming crews on any of the
trains during the night had report
ed such an accident as is custom
ary, but everything went to show
that he had been struck by some
train and was not a victim of foul
play.
If he had been struck by the en-
gine, as a general rule the engine
crew would have seen him by the
aid of the powerful electric head
light, so it appears that he might
have been walking along side the
track and probably stumbled in the
darkness as the train was passing
and fell against the cars and was

wks kind of expected and we were
looking forward to something like
that to take place. He was married
to Miss Cora Dewar on Wednesday

known here, having lived in White

About five years ago he was pull

MENTALLY
UNBALANCED
Former Editor of Flathead Maga-
zine Taken to Warm Springs By
Sheriff Baney.

Sheriff Frank Baney arrived in
Eureka, Tuesday, having just re-
turned from the insane asylum at
Warm Springs, where he took Harry
S. Boyle. Boyle had had ce-
ment contract at Libby, but the pro-
position went wrong, and this added
to a naturally nervous disposition,
threw him off his mental balance.
He went to Spokane and engaged
stenographers to address a lengthy
letter to Hon. Chas. M. Pray, not
having enough funds to defray his
other expenses in the Washington
city. His letter to Congressman
Pray set forth his grievances, his
claims being in substance that he
was prosecuted and that it was i'm
possible to obtain justice in Lin
coin county or Montana. He called
upon Congressman Pray to secure
the intervention of President Taft
and ex-President Roosevelt. The
Spokane authorities arrested Boyle
and Sheriff Baney went there
and took him into custody.
In June, 1909, Boyle started the
Flathead Magazine, only the initia
issue being printed. Creditors tool
possession of the plant, and
Boyle lost heavily personally. He
is credited with being very bright
and was at that time versatile
writer.-Eureka Journal.
