He asked the witness why no public

would be misunderstood.
>1sS>ss4l5ently. he said, this had been

was certain that publicity beforehand
would have resulted in failure OF the

was the reply. 81 am great deal

Didn't you say during the campaign

socialist, that you would vote for the
anarchist?"
Above the storm of objections rails

that he had said something like that

right.

Mazuma is situated IN narrow
canyon about half mile below Sew

loss of life has been reported. but
practically all the businesses houses,
residence and mills were wiped out.
At Mazuma solid wall of water III

narrow canyon without warning ana
with great force. It carried every
thing before it and left a desolate
debris-coverea trail behind.
Just how many victims were swept
to their death probably win not be
learned until late tonight at which
time the searching parties expect %

searching parties were busy all
through the night, their work was
hampered by darkness.
Rescue work early brought grue-
some evidence of the tragedy. The
discovery of the bodies of Mr. and
Mrs. Trenchard, was followed by a
surprise when it was found that
neither was dead. John Trenchard is
expected 70 die, but hope is held

While the precipitation in Lovelock

LOTS OF POTATOES
Eureka to Raise Potatoes on 4
Large Scale - 5000 Acres to B<
Planted this Spring.

Eureka, April 29.-It Is consec-
utively estimated that 5000 acres
OF potatoes will be planted in To-
bacco valley this spring. as direct
result of the widespread interest
awakened in the production of this
crop. Much of this interest has
been occasioned through the efforts
Of T.. N. Bernard, secretary of the
Kalispsll Chamber of Commerce, who
has been visiting the town and agri-
cultural communities of both Flat
head and Lincoln counties and urg-
ing farmers to grow more potatoes.
contending that this section Of Mon
tana is especially adapted to this va
riety Of tuber. and that the mark Of
years demonstrated that they can be
grown in unlimited quantities and
still pay big dividends.
Much of Tobacco valley non-irri-
gated lands yield excellent crops of
potatoes, as the soil retains moisture
readily hence this crop thrives even
through a dry season.
Irish Cobbler. Burbank and Early
Ohio are the varieties in favor
among the Tobacco valley growers.
The late spring rains have stored q
large amount Of moisture in the
soil, and there Is every indication
of record-nreaking output.

CAN TAXPAYERS AT.
FORD THE LUXURY OF A
COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL?

T he Dayton Leader concurs IN
what the Pilot has said in regards
to the county high school question,
and the same feeling seems to exist
in the southern end Of the county
a In this; that in spite of the eli
forts on the part Of the Kalispell
boosters to show that the county
high school is patronixed by people
living outside Of Kalispell, but q
small percentage of the people who
pay taxes toward It's support re-
ceive any benefits at all. The coun-
ty high school system is splendid
to build up a great educational in
,stitutton, that fact can not be de-
MED, but the deplorable part about
It b that only those children who
have parents who can afford to send
them away can be educated BY It.
and then as the situation now is
without any place for the children
to be looked after, the children are
being sent away to private schools
In other cities. The article in the
Dayton Leader follows. There is a
mistake in some of his figures. but
still the argument holds good.
We are in receipt of an ably writ
ten communication from p. N.Ber-
nard secretary Of the Kalispell Cham
Der Of Commerce, but We are unable
to reproduce 1t In the columns OF the
Leader owing to its length and our
lack OF working force. Besides this,
we are not In sympathy with the
county high school scheme. 1t II an
educational luxury which very few
taxpayers in the county receive any
benefit from, or can possibly enjoy.
Only those financially we'll fixed can
take advantage Of the excellent OPP
portunities offered by the high schoo
system, and. that class constitutes
about one-tenth Of the taxpayers Of
the county. The other nine-tentha
are paying the expenses of main
tanning an institution which the well
to-do il the rural districts can only
patronixe.
Last yesr It cost the taxpayers OF
Nathead county practically $4,000
in expenses to run this"county" hig
school, and how many Of them. do
you suppose, were benefited by it?
There were $50 scholars enrolled
tor the past year. and cost the tax
payers $3.50 per scholar. How many
farmers are able to stand that out
lay for the benefit OF his more
wealthy netghbor? And yet Kalispell
boosters want the taxpayers to load
themselves with an extra burden OF
$4,000 or $4,000 for dormitories
The high school Is nice thing
for Kalispell, and we can't blame
them for wanting the public to sup
port it;but 1t Is an institution which
Kalispen alone should maintain land
make self-supporting as far as pos
sible by charging tuition to those
who are able to stand the expense
Of sending their children to that cit.
It Is luxury fer Kalispell. but ar
expensive burden for the taxpayer
to carry. .

Eureka came out the winner BY q

It looked a. II the game was going

wait until the game was finished.
Both teams played remarkably

enough to keep everyone thoroughly
interested the whole time. Rexford
had Eureka shut out until the
sixth inning. when some timely
hitting piled up four scores for the
