The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1912-11-01

From Keunenbank to Oshkosh,
From Oshkosh to Skidoo
I've seen on walls and bill boards
And doubtless so have you,
Posters large as circus tents,
THAT to voters freely gave
Authentic information
On how our Lane to save.
These double barrelled posters,
Thus posted near and far,
Are backed up by billion cards
On coach and trolley car.
So freely are they scattered,
Oftimes I've heartily laughed,
As the voters, they tell plainly
It's Calamity or Taft.
Mr. Voter, so the legend runs,
Just gaze upon my mug,
If you would keep prosperity,
am the only dub,
That strange hold has on it,
Believe me this is true,
Should | go 10 the Cousome,
Kiss prosperity adieu.
Some people say I'm lady like,
While some say I'm a clown,
lis true I've ne er done anything,
Please take me as | am,
I'd like once more to fill the chat
Then vote for me, good man,
As am in. I'd like TO win
Not be an also ran.

A FEW REMARKS.

SPRINKLER NEEDED.

The streets being all torn up and
undergoing repairs, and the contin-
ual grinding OF the wheels of heavy
traffic had reduced the clay surface
of the roads to a fine powder-like
dust and when the squall of wind
came up Saturday afternoon one
could have imagined he was in a
sand storm on the Sahara desert.
No creice was too small for it to
enter and it just drifted into every
store and residence, coating every
thing with dust. The situation
became almost desperate until Chief
Fred Pickett, of the Whitefish Vol
unteer fire department came to the
rescue and relieved the situation
but mot until considerable damage
had been done. He get out the fire
hose and a couple of men spent the
latter part of the afternoon wetting
Lcwn the streets in the business
section.

KALISPELL TO BUILD
A SCENIC ROAD

County Surveyor H. p. Walters
and DR.. A. D. Macdonald have COM
pleted a preliminary inspection OF
a route by which an automobile road
may be constructed to the summit
OF Kalispell mountain which towers
above the Foy's lakes four miles
southwest OF the city. Both men
pronounce the building Of the road
a very practicable project and Mr..
Walters has volunteered the engine
ering work free of charge as an aid
toward its accomplishment. A plan
that is being strongly considered
by the chamber of commerce and
good road advocates is the building
OF this road and the laying out Of a
small park on the summit. From
this point view Of the entire ex-
panse Of the valley can be had and
more than half the surface of Flat.
head lake is visible. The plan is urged
primarily as an attraction to visi-
tors and tourists who seek this sec.
ton in increasing numbers each veal

to the conclusion that he might have

Mr.. Fitch recently published the
following west pocket essay" OF
Montana:
Montana is one of the largest
sized states. but it's not extensively
used for resident purposes as yet.
1t contains las 900 square miles. and
five different climates. When q
Montanian from Great Falls meets
a Montanian from the Tlathead res
ervation they ignore politics and
talk temperature until the police
separate them.
Montana extends for six hundred
miles along the Canadian border,
just below Alberta and Saskatch-
evan. and would have as good a
climate az these provinces do If it
would pay better salaries for pub
licity agents. It is traversed length
wise by three transcontinental rail-
roads and the Missouri river but il
crossed north and south only by the
Rocky mountains in the western
part.For this reason citizens of Bill
lngs seldom know their northern
neighbors unless they happen to run
across them in New York restaur-
ant
| Montana is full of silver and
gold, and the early settlers kept
extremely busy getting it out and
trading 1t for railroads and senator
ships. There are few cities in Mon
tana. and most of these are infested
with smelters. A smelter is a small
cross section Of Hades in full opera
