POWER. COMPANY IS
FULFILLING PROMISE

Several mCEtts ago a commN-ee
from the Whitefish Commercial as
scciaticn held conference with the
managers of the Northern Idaho &
Montana Power company in regards
to telephone rates, which were con-
sidered too high for the service rem
dered, especially en- the resident
party lines. At that time reduc-
tion in the rates of the business
phones was made from $3.50 to 50
per month, but while the company
could not see their way clear to
make reduction in the rates of the
resident phones, they promised to
make change i'm the party Line
system that would give almost the
same privacy as a single Line and do
away with the annoyance of the
bells ringing when ether people on
the line are being called.

PROTECT GAME
IN GLACIER PARK
n

John E. Lewis was in town Mon
day from his hotel at tiAe head of
Lake Mcdonald and stirred up am
interest amcng local people over
the Importance Of Congressman
Pray's bill accepting the cessicn OF
the park from the state.
As the matter now stands, game
may be hunted in the park during
the hunting season and 1t will stand
that way until at least the next ses-
sion of the state legislature. Be
cause of the spirit of neglectfulness.
red-tape, etc., the government has
uD to this time failed to officially
ACCEPT the park land from the state
OF Montana. and, therefore, the
state game laws will apply.
Congressman Pray has a bill be-
fore Congress which win remedy the
matter, but the eastern senators are
lukewarm over the proposition Sand
he has as yet failed to secure It's
passage, and has urged all Momtan-
ans interested in protecting the
game in the park to send kilograms
and letters TO Washingtom urx1nG
the enactment .of the bin.
It Il certain that unless some
thing Is done before the game sea-
son opens this fall that there will
be a Wholesale slaughter of deer,
elk and goat by "head hunters
who win exert every energy to se-
cure their limit, realizing that u
will be their last cho nee to hunt in
the park.
The government has shipped q
herd OF elk into the park. and they
are practically tame animals and
would fan easy pray to the hunter
II given fu1l sway to hunt them.
One of the chief attractions in the
new park is its game, and every
citizen should be interested in hav-
ing it protected. A personal letter tc
Congressman Pray will help the mat
ter along, and he can show his col
leagues that he is being supported
in his bill-Colllmbian.

Already over 1000 Elks Of the state

People owning stump land in diff
ferent parts Of the county are now
beginning to realize that it is really
valuable. 1t has been demonstrated
that the stump land Is composed of
the richest soil in the valley. The
finest and richest fruits, the choicest
grain and vegetables and the most
hay has beeen grown on these stump
lands that some time ago were
thought to te valueless. Owing to
this fact a great number of acres of
land have been cleared up this
spring, and are being put under cul-
tivaticn. On account Of there being
NO ether than the old time methods
for removing the sfumps available
the process is slow and laborious,
but 1t is hoped that in the near fu-
ture some plan will be devised where
by this land can be cleared off
little cheaper ard with less work
There was some talk Ct organizing
stock company this spring for the
purpose of buying donkey engine
end going after the stumps on a
large scale, but the project never
get under way on account Of lack OF
finances. However, great many
acres have been cleared off Just the
same, as will be seen by the follow
ing:
In that section of the Flathead
valley around the Flathead lake a
great deal of clearing is going on at
the preeent time, increasing the land
available for fruit and truck farm
ing.
Around Dayton ON the west shore
Of the Flathead lake over 800 acres
will lie cleared this year along the
bench and on the side hills which
will be put in crop late In the sea-
son or early next spring.
Over on. the east shore from Big
fork back to Swan lake up the Swan
river an enormous amount Of clear
ing Is being done and stumps re-
moved in preparing the land for the
crop. From this section comes our
great yield of truck and some of the
finest fruits produced, in the valley.
Up III the Helena Flats that Sec
tion of the valley between Kalispell
and Columbia Falls, IS being done
the greatest amount of clearing.
Here in this section, nearly every
owner is equipped with a stumpins
machine and Is kept busy als CT the
spare time in uproodng the stumps
and burning the brush.
One man has cleared during the
las. year 40 acres CT fine truck land
and has 1T all under cultivation and
in berries and garden truck.
The production eff of the land
| cleared since last year will nearly
double the rrcdrcticn of the valley
over that CT last year.
In addition to all this a great
! number of acres here and there hav,
been cleaned up close around White
fish that have been put under culti
vation. 1t is safe to predict tha'
there has been more etumps blown
out in this vicinity this spring thai
in several OF the preceding years pu
together.

For the Purpose Of Building Automo-
bile Highway Thru Kootenai and
Flathead Valleys to Glacier
National Park.

The meeting held in Libby Satm=
day for the purpose of boosting thea
coast to coast national highway ter
minated with great success, and re--
suited in the organization Of what
will be known as the Koctenai VAL
ley and Flsthead Coed Reads AE--
sociaticn, which has for it's object.
the building CT a read thru the
Kootenai valley and Flathead tcH
Glacier National rark. The officenE
elected to preside over the associa
tion are Joseph Edge, president. anE
Paul Pratt, secretary.
There was presen. al the meef+
ing representatives from FlatheaM
and Lincoln counties, and the three
counties lying in Washington anh
Idaho.
At the meeting three feasible
routes were planned, namely: Ona-
read through the Kcctenai valley ass
far as Libby from Spokane ana
then branching off and going south
via Thompson and McGreagor lakexs
aud Marion to Kalispell and thence
to the Glacier National Park. Alr-
other from Libby. via. Jennings andE
thence to Kalispell. Another branch
ing off at jennings and going. uE
the Kootenai to Rexford, thence tN~
Eureka, connecting with the Kalis-
pell-Eureka automobile road.
OF these three routes, only ous-
would cost Flathesd county anE-
thing, her share having already besm
built. The Eureka-Kalispell rOaA
would cost Flathead county In tle-,
neighborhced OF $4,000. to put hs
excellent shape. although autos aree
making the trip over this road az
the present time. there are severaE
places which need improving tor
make real first-class road thrua
to the park.
Will be Completed in 90 Days
The conference resulted in a state
ment by the commissioners that the>
road will be built within ninetxz
days.
+ This read will cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 to $4,000 ac-
cording to the route taken. OF this
expenditure nest cf it will be re-
Quired in the KcC.enai valley.

The county commissioners of the
five counties and one representa-
tive of the chambers CT commerce.
in the five counties, will meet a9stka
on the 29th of June at Bcnners' Fer

The idea of rushing this matter.
Is to be ready to make <.report to,
the good roads association at An1r--
conda on the 8 tn and 9 tn Of july
. and also to have report ready tsss
