TO CLASSIFY
.FLATHEADLA
MORE LAND ON RESERVATION
WILL BE OPENED FOR
SETTLEMENT.

Washington, Feb. Am action by
the senate committee on Indian af-
fairs is of great importance to set
tiers in the Flathead reservation, in
that the whole reservation will be
reclassified and many thousand acre
of land declared timber land will be
open for agricultural purposes.
About $50 settlers have offered fill
ings upon the land in question. The
committee has authorized Senator
Dixon to report a bill for the open
ing of the land. Its passage throug
the senate is assured.
On the original classification of
the reservation lands many tracts
that had only a small amount of
timber, and in some instances had
only small number of trees in one
corner, were listed as timber, and
We're not included in the schedules
as being opened to entry: Later the
land offices at Kalispell and Mis-
soula were instructed to accept sus-
pended filings for any lands that
might not be appraised, and before
the timber classifications were fur
nished from Washington a good
many such filings were made on
lands that it was afterward found
had been classified as timber. On a
re-classification it is supposed that
the settler will be permitted to per-
feet his entry by paying for the tim
ber that may be on the claim he
has settled upon.

LIFE-PICTURE OF LINCOLN,
OUR MARTYRED PRESIDENT

A small but very appreciative au-
dience listened to an intensely in
teresting story of the life of Abra-
ham Lincoln,as graphically described
by Rev. ]. Everist Cathell in the
Charles church last Saturday even
ing. Many phases of Lincoln's life
have been told to American people
in the last half century. and the mar
ratives are always of interest to ev-
cry loyal citizen, but a word picture
from the lips of Rev. Cathell vividly
portrays the wonderful genius and
marvellous leadership of that gen
tie yet courageous character. The
personal knowledge and keen
perception of the speaker concern
ing Lincoln was sharpened by the
fact that the latter saved the life of
Cathell's father,who is still living in
Washington, D. c., at the ripe old
age of 81. Those who failed to hea
this address were unfortunate.

across the Atlantic conveying the sad
and depressing news of his fathers

last heard from home, which is only
recently A letter following the

LOGGING ROAD
TO Be BUILT
CONSTRUCTION WORK WILL
PROBABLY :BE STARTED
EARLY NEXT FALL.

All evidences point towards the
fact that not later than next fall
the Somers Lumber company will be
constructing their logging road that
has been contemplated for some
time. and has been laid aside ON
account OF depression in business.
The road will start at the plan
ing mill, connecting with the main
line of the Great Northern, and will
run south for a distance of seven
or eight miles, crossing the timber
lands owned by the Somers Lumber
company, and in addition to this a
number of branches will be built,
extending out into the timber.
The road is to be built standard
guage, so that the cars can be load
ed right out in the forest, and haul
ed to the mills, either at this place
or at Somers.
The equipment will consist of a
standard locomotive and cars in ad-
dition to a number of smaller log
ging and donkey engines, which will
work on the branches.
With this method of logging, oper
ations can be carried on in summer
as we'll as in winter, and the logs
can be cut whenever needed.
Heretofore the logs have been cut
in the winter time and then hauled
to the river and then floated down
for long distance, entailing a grea1
loss. This will all be eliminated
when the new system goes into eff
feet.

Last Sunday the largest crowd

A NEW AUTO.

A beautiful E. M. F. 3O-horse
power automobile, the latest 1912
model, was unloaded from car
Tuesday afternoon and is now re-
posing peacefully in a shed in the
rear of the Pilot office, where it can
be inspected by everyone. The auto
does not belong to the Pilot, as
some might think, but is the prop
erty of r. w. Larter, who has the
agency for these machines. He is
also the agent for the Flanders car,
the Stodard-Dayton and the Hudson
SO. AS soon as the snow is off the
ground Mr.. Larter will give a dem
onstration of the good running quail
tiles of the car.

GANG OF THIEVES KEEP
kALISPELL IN STATE OF FEAR

According to reports from Kalis-
pell "a gang of thieves have infested
the city and seem to be helping
themselves to the mustard. When
ever a housewife steps out, upon
returning she is most sure to dis
cover that someone has ransacked
the house and taken what articles
of value can be found The same
is being done in the hotels, and
everyone is loaded down with anx-
iety. In spite of the vigilance of
the police none of the perpetrators
of the crimes have been apprehend-
ed. The situation has come to such
a stage that the police force will
probably be enlarged by the addi-
tion of a number of plain clothes
men.

HE WONT PAY.

The city treasurer in Kalispell
has begun the job of collecting the
city licenses for the quarter and
finds that the rooming-house keepers
are up in arms against it. One man
absolutely refuses to pay the $3.50
imposed on him and declares that

court decision rendered some time
ago against a Great Falls dentist the
license ordinance is valid.

The ice harvest is now on in this
city, and all who have ice houses
are having them filled. Even after
several weeks of cold weather the
lake did not freeze as much as one
would expect, so the ice is not as
thick as the icemen would like, but
they are cutting now rather. than
take chances on any more cold
weather. 1t is not likely that it
will freeze much from now on.

DEPUTY GAME
WARDEN IS ACTIVE
FILES TEN COMPLAINTS
NINE DAYS FROM WHITE
FISH TO LIBBY.

During a period of nine days Dep
uty Game Warden Ralston has file
ten complaints against violators OF
the game laws in his district from
Whitefish to Libby.
When he started west some time
ago he stopped off here and picked
up couple of men for killing game
out of season. Proceeding to For
tine he arrested Howard Marston
and Roy Nash for having hunted
without license. They were fined
$27 each.
At Eureka he arrested Burr Al
verson for alleged deer killing out
of season. He gave bonds to ap-
pear in the district court.
Coming down to Tweed he ar
rested Joseph and Ray Benham,
brothers, for deer killing. He
brought them to Libby and they
waived examination and will appear
in the district court.
While in Libby he arrested j.
Scanlon, ]. H. Frank and J. M.Se-
nieur on the same charge, and they
will also appear in the district court
From the above report it can be
seen that the deputy game warden
is an unusually active man, and
those who have been in the habit o1
violating the game laws will do well
to curb themselves, or before long
they may be spending their time az
guests of the state.

Enthusiastic Audiences to hear
Noted Evangelist
SECOND WEEK MEETINGS CONTINUES ADDED SUCCESS -
PROFOGDEN CHARGE OF CHOIR
REV. CALLuM STRONG AGAINST CARD PLAYING
AND PROMISES PUBLIC BURNING OF CARDS AT NEAR DATE

The interest in the Evangelical
meetings conducted by Rev. j. w.
MacCallum continues to grow, and
the outlook is that before the series
of meetings is over some larger
quarters will have to be secured.
Commencing this week the Metho-
dist church has joined in the move
ment also, which helps to swell the
audience larger than ever. Profess
fessor Ogden, who was supposed to
have been here at the beginning to
take charge of the choir, arriv-
ed last Saturday night, and since
Sunday he has been presiding over
the musical end of the program.
Heretofore Rev. .MacCallum had to be
his own choirmaster, which made 1t
more than he could attend to prop
erly and do justice to the work.
Now, each branch of the work will
be properly executed and will no
doubt make an added interest to
the meetings. Prof. Ogden having
exclusive charge of the music will
devote his time to training the choir
in new songs and planning programs
that will be unique and Interesting
to the audience.
Choir Progressing.
The choir consists of about 80
voices and will be enlarged az fast
as new singers can be added. Each
member has taken a special interest
in the work, and it can be said
without flattery that better music
has not been heard in Whitefish.
Having some one to lead them prop
erly they have been able to sing
some of the most difficult pieces
that have fairly swayed the audience
and moved many to tears. Some

Adding much to the realism of the

companying the pictures. BY his
voice and a number of mechanical
devices, he gives splendid limitations

telligible chatter of the natives, the
crunching of feet in frozen snow, the

Mrs. Roy Pierce as the four strolled

party was in the best humor. Roy
Pierce contentedly puffed at cigar

as they walked. His father beamed
on everybody who approached him.
Mrs. Pierce. mother of Mrs. Roy
Pierce, smiled frequently. As for the
bride she announced that she was
too happy to talk about plans for
the future, and she looked the part.
