According To aH article in the Revue
the number of Protestants in France
is decreasing, They now number TO0,
900. The Lutherans who numbered
more than quarter of a million in
1870, can now boast of a membership
Of only $4,000 i'm France. The Calvin
lists are the most numerous sect left,
numbering over half million. But
they are losing ground At the same
time the political influence of the
French Professionals is out of all proper
ton to their numbers. This the writer
attributes 10 their sturdy characters,
to their superior system of education
and above all to their great wealth.
Their wealth has, however, tended to
sap their eXclusiveness. They now
pay less attention To their religion, and
the result is, says the writer in the
Revue. that Professionalism in France
will i'm the near future be thing of
the past. This is a rather bold con-
clusion and it would be interesting to

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

After an interview with President
Taft this week. Senator Townsend
said: The president says that he con-
siders IL his duty to stand for re-
nomination. He says that he is not
conscious of doing anything of which
he ought to be ashamed. and that while
he has made mistakes the road for him
to follow lies directly before him. He
added that he should not go into de-
cline If he lost the denomination, but
nevertheless he believes he ought to go
on. | told him he ought TO do more

something good let the country know
about it, He said he did not know

ductor named Lewis, whose Chicago
address is the Victoria hotel. has been
sending return postal cards To the con-
ductors i'm the upper peninsula, asking
for an expression of their views on who
should be nominated for president. The
poll covers both Democrats and Re-
publicans. The mail clerks report that
a large share of the Republicans are
expressing their preference for Roose-
Welt. The South Shore man explains
this by saying that Roosevelt is par
ticularly popular with railroad men
because of his efforts to secure the

railroad orders besides the conductors
are being pollcd to ascertain their

that the expense is probably being

LEAVE THE
OLD PARTY
PROGREsslvEs BREAK UP MEET
ING AND FLY THEIR
OWN COLORS.

The meeting of the republican
central committee in Kalispell last
Saturday was anything but harmon
ious. Those looking on could smell
trouble right from the start and the
meeting had not progressed far be-
fore the fight was On. Bill Bremen,
of Bigfork, one of the old-time
wheel horses Of the republican par
ty, objected to the way a motion on
the part of the progressive element
to adjourn for an hour to plan a
method of procedure. Seeing that
they could not agree with their old
friends, the Roosevelt men made up
their MINDS to tear down the old
banner and hoisted the banner of
the Bull Moose in its stead.
This completely disorganized the
whole meeting and both parties are
now planning on separate primaries,
and there will no duobt be three
parties in the field at the coming
election.

TAX LEVY
IS Is MILLS
DIR. j. A. TILLETT Is ELECTED
TO FILL VACANCY IN SEC
OND WARD.

The taxes for 1912 will be one
mill higher than they were for the
year 1911. At a meeting of the
council Monday night the tax levy
was placed at Is mills. Last year
it was IA, but this is still one mill
lower than it was in 1910, when 16
mills were levied. This extra mill
was added this year in order to
have enough money to carry the
street and alley fund thru and the
lighting fund was cut down three
mills and added to the general fund,
which has been running in the red
for some time this year.
DR.. ia . Tillett was qualified at
the meeting, and duly appointed by
the council to fill the vacancy made
by the resignation of j. c. Little.

.WH|TEF|SH STUMP LANDS
PRODUCE WONDERFUL CROPS
Fine Collection of Grains Have Been
Gathered by Geddes and Avery
for Exhibition Purposes.

e. L. Geddes and G. w. Avery
drove out thru the country Tuesday
morning to make a collection of
farm products with the result that
they brought in a whole load of grain
fruits and vegetables. Now in max
ing this collection these gentlemen
were particular to pick their speci-
mems from nothing but stump land,
and such as has been under culti-
vation only from one to three years.
They covered the territory lying
south and east of the city within a
radius Of five miles. The specimens
they obtained were the finest that
has ever been seen. They brought
in sheaves CT oats, wheat and bar
ley. all grown on cleared stump
land and some of it on land with
the stumps still on it, that would
rival for size and weight any grain
grown on prairies.
The fruits as yet are not ripe but
they reported that all the apple trees
are overburdened with fruit. In
most cases the branches have to be
propped up to prevent them from
breaking off from the weight of the
fruit.
The vegetables gardens are all
looking fine. Several specimens of
potatoes and turnips were brought
In that are something immense. The
collection included come corn with
fine roasting ears on it. It has
generally been conceded that corn
could not be grown in the Flathead,
but several of our ambitious farmers
have been having considerable sue
cess of late.
The collection was gathered for
exhibition purposes. Mr.. Geddes
will arrange some of it for display
in his real estate office and will al
SO fix up some nice bundles of grain
for the Great Northern exhibition

BROWM-SK|NNER

Last Wednesday evening, August
14,at Kalispell, occurred the marriage
of Mr.. H. B. Brown to Mrs Emma Skin
ner both of this place Although the
event was expected to take place
soon, many of their friends were
taken by surprise when they heard
that the nuptials had taken place.
Mr.. Brown has been the Great
Northern pumpman at this place
since the foundation of the town ,and
the bride is we'll and favorably know
In Whitefish, having lived here for
several years.
They have moved into his home
at the corner of Idaho avenue and
Edgewood place at Lakeside.
Their many friends extend con-
gratulaticns and good wishes.

get lot of good free advertising.
Mr.. Geddes has made arrangements
to take care of the exhibition grain
for the Great Northern if the far
mers will only bring it in.
The first ranch visited by the
above named gentlemen was that of
Matt Cuffe. Mr.. Cuffe has both
prairie and stump land, but they
only selected such produce as had
been grown among the stumps They
secured some excellent potatoes ,and
at c. =. Spots place they secured
some more of the same that had
been grown On newly cleared land.
VIM. Bowdish contributed some
peas that grew over six feet high,
including apples, cabbage, and some
rutabagas that are wonderful in
size. At the Johnson ranch several
sheaves of oats and wheat were Sc
cured. At Henry Goods some won
derful sheaves CT barley and wheat
were picked up that surely look
like prize winners.
George Z. Smith has a fine piece
of improve! stump land where spe.-
linens of apples, gooseberries, cur
rants, oats and wheat were secured.
The Burns and the Gallagher ranch
es east of town also contributed
some fine specimens.
Among the vegetables not yet
ripe were cucumbers, tomatoes anG
squash. These are some of the del
icate kind that are just being intro
duced by the farmers with consider
able success all around Whitefish.
This exhibition will prove beyond
a doubt that the stump lands are the
real thing for agricultural purposes.
One farmer who has both prairie ana
stump ss-s stated that he secures
the best results from the stump
land after it has been worked a
couple of years, and though he has
plenty of prairie land he is working
at putting the stump land under cul-
t1vation.

Of
ALH|GG|NS
DEATH REVEALS RELATIVES IN
EAST WHO THOUGHT HIM
LONG DEAD.

Work was received here last week
Of the death of Al Higgins in the
county hospital, his death being
caused by a consumptive and run
down condition.
Mr.. Higgins was well known in
Whitefish, having been a familiar
figure on the street here since the
foundation Of the town, and many
old friends will regret to hear OF
his death.
But little was known of his his
tory, and no one was aware that he
had ever been married, until after
he was taken sick, when Chas. G.
Hall wrote to the officials of a coun-
ty in Illinois, from which place Mr.
Higgins was supposed to have come
many years ago. This letter was an
swered by daughter in Chicago,
who said that she had not heard
from her father for over twenty
years, and supposed him to be dead
as she and other members of the
family had been Informed that he
was killed in railway wreck.
Mr.. Hall also received letter
from brother of Mr.. Higgins, which
contained about the same informatio.
as the one from his daughter. But
the letter came too late to be of any
service, as Mr.. Higgins died before
word could be received from the
relatives.

NEWMAN JUMPS
$4,000 BAIL
RELEASED FROM JAIL ACCUSED
MAN HIKES TO PARTS
UNKNOWN.

Last Wednesday William New
ham. arrested upon the charge OF
murder. the victim having been his
brother. was released from the coun
ty Jail upon $4,000 bail furnished
by his relatives. He went to his
mothers home, where the murder
had been committed and on the fol-
lowing morning shortly before noon,
he left the place, was seen crossing
the field hurriedly, and enter the
dense timber. He had taken with
him his 30-30 rifle and a quantity OF
ammunition. As soon &!s it was
learned that he was evidently try
ing to run away, a posse procured
the blcodhounds from the convicts'
camp and started in pursuit. A re-
ward of $500 is offered by his
bondsmen for his capture, dead or
alive.
Newham is believed to be de-
mented, and since the murder has
been more morose and quiet than
ever. Notwithstanding his plea of
not guilty the circumstantial evi-
dence is so strong against him that
there is little doubt in the minds Of
the community as to his guilt, which
is accentuated by his running away.
Several conjectures are offered
as motive for the crime. but moth
ing plausible is given unless it be
that he It's insane.
A guard has been placed about his
mothers home, for fear he might
return and make an attempt upon
the lives of the others in the house
hold. Newham is five feet and
six inches tall and CT slight build.
His face is long and narrow and his
complexion is pale. Sheriff Ingra-
ham and Deputy Sheriff Clifford re-
turned from Bigfork late last night.
but SO far their efforts to find any
trace Of the accused murderer have
been futile.
All roads and 4traipz are. being
watched, and without doubt the fu-
gitive will be taken shortly.-Ka11s-
