looking over the country. Judge
Brantley expressed great delight
over what he saw in this region.
He went to the Snowshoe mine, to
the Victor Empire and Granite
Lake, to the Thomas and Kennedy
ranches up the river and spent one
day in company with Leo H. Faust
and J, M. Kennedy in going over
the large tract Of land along the
kootenal river between Nolcour
and Warland, which IS owned BY
the Kootenai Land Co., in which
Judge Brantley owns considerable
stock. He was loud in his COM
mendatlon of all he saw while here.
1t is nearly fourteen years since
Montana's popular Chief Justice
visited this part of the state and he
said he could scarcely realize the
wonderful improvements that have
taken place in this part of the
world III that time. He said to a
reporter for this newspaper:
'This is truly wonderful re-
