Many New Departments Have Been
Added During the
Past Year.
SECRETARY ROGNLEINs REPORT SHOWS INsTITU--
TION HAS BEEN MAKING GREAT PROGRESS, AND RECON-
MENDs THAT DORMITORY BUILT SO THAT CH1LDREx
OUTSIDE KALIsPELL MAY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SCHOOL

l. D. Rognlien, secretary of the
Flathead county high school board.
has just issued statement of the
financial standing of the county free
high school. which follows:
It will be noted that the disburse-
ments are divided into two general
expenses and new equipment and
permanent improvements. The first
shows the actual running expenses
of the high school, and the second
the permanent improvements paid
for during the period covered by
the report. The large amount
charged to the running expenses of
the manual training department is
due to the fact that this department
was established during this year and
We had to stock up on a large
amount of material necessary for
the work. such as lumber, nails,etc.
This department should be credited
with $49.72 for different pieces of
furniture made by The students and
sold, and for great number Of nee
essary articles made for the school,
sue as benches, tables, drawers etc.
AS you are undoubtedly aware,
four new departments were added
to the high school during the fall of
1910, namely, manual training, do
nestle science, commercial and agri-
cultural. Most of these departments
necessitated large expenditures for

surprises. Some of the statistics
he quoted are as follows:

our nation last year spent the appal-
ling sum of $1,373,OOO,OOO. All rev
enues from rum amounted to $275-
100000. which sets forth the pleas
ing fact that We paid the tre-
mendous sum of over one billion
dollars for the privilege of being
the most drunken nation on earth.
In round figures our wool crop
sold for 298 millions of dollars. The
coal for $50 millions, and our wheat
for 7s5 millions; yet all these to-
gether could not pay the penalties
incurred through rum.

small token Of what our national sa-
loon business exacts in blood as

these murderers were punished. the
remaining 90 percent going free.

when will the magnificent ar
mics of labor come to see that their
bitterest foe is the rum power? For
every $4,000 invested in legitimate
business, one man is employed. But
only one is employed by the rum
power for very $12,50O invested.
There are tens of thousands of idle
men in the country, and if the mon
ey tied up in the whiskey business,
and totally non-productive, was to
be honestly invested, it would give
employment to 226,69O men. The
average wage is about $500 per
year. Let the laboring men of the
country who are crying out against
the trusts sit up and take notice.
For every dollar received in
revenues from rum, every man, wo-
man and child in the nation must
stand a tax of $500.
IF the railroad kills a man the
law allows a fine of $4,000. Here are
25O,OOO saloons scattered through

REPORT ON
GLACIER PARK
INTERESTING FACTS REGARD
ING WORK DONE IN PARK
LAST YEAR,

The report of the late Major W.
r. Logan, Superintendent of the
Glacier national park, has recently
been issued from the government
printing office and is very interest
ing.
In a general statement the report
says the park was created by an act
of congress approved May II, 1910;
that the park embraces over 140O
square miles of the Rocky noun
tains. extending north from the
main line of the Great Northern
railway to the Canadian border and
from the Blackfeet reservation on
the east to the Flathead river on
the west. The park has an area of
approximately $4,000 acres, its
length averaging so miles and its
width so miles.
Referring to the expenditures in
the park for the year 1911, hte re-
port says that the automobile road
from Belton to the foot of Lake Nc
Donald was practically completed on
September 80. at a cost per mile of
$7.634.89, making a total cost of
$17.178.5O. This amount includes
the cost Of plows. .scrapers, tools, etc.
and was done at a figure consider
ably less than the engineers esti-
mate.
There are now 1919 miles Of trails
which have been put in fair condi-
tion.at total cost Of $3,321.50. and
telephone lines have been built for

new equipment and fixtures. For
instance, the domestic science de-
partment required a gas machine
and gas ranges, the commercial de-
partment, typewriters and typo
writer desks.
The new addition to the high
school was completed during the
summer of 1910,and a great amount
OF apparatus and fixtures was nee-
essary in order to fit up the new
biological. chemistry and physics
laboratories. These expenses were
incurred for permanent improve
ments and the expense hereafter
will be light. Half block of addf-
tional grounds was purchased. This

tory when the people Of the county
shall authorize its construction.

We have just installed six electric
lathes and band saw, and this de-
partment is now fully equipped and

and second to none in the entire

active operation totaling 421a miles
at cost OF S1,4OO.S7, including
nine telephones. Two docks wer
built on Lake Mcdonald for the use
of the public and licensed boats at
cost of $52S.42.
Between June / and October /,
1911, there were 1000 visitors in
the park, the majority entering by
way of Bolton.
A site for administration build
ings has been selected at Fish creek,
a point on the western shore of the
lake. about two miles from it's foot,
which will be connected by road
with the new main road. Plans
were drawn for the buildings, and
bids solicited, but as the depart
mept regarded the bids as excessive
they were rejected and the matter
has been dropped for the present.
An order has been placed for a
saw mill and shingle machine which
will be erected at Fish creek, where
large amount of matured, dead
and infested timber will be cut. Con-
siderable timber in the park has
been infested and the recommends
tions of the forestry officials will be
carried out by saving up the dis
eased trees into lumber to be used
in the construction of the park build
ings.
An itemized statement is publish
ed showing what was done with the
of $69,2OO.
In his recommendations for the
coming season Major Logan urged
The building of new trails to scenic
points. and asked for the sum of
$4,000 to be used for this purpose
That road be constructed around
Lake Mcdonald. a distance of Is
miles connecting with the govern
ment road from Bolton to the lake,
and asked that the sum Of $4,000
be set aside for this purpose. An
other need Of the park is a bridge
across the middle fork of the Flat
head river at Belton which can be
built for $4,000. also a bridge
across Mcdonald creek at the foot

MASQUER-
ADE GREAT SUCCESS

The masquerade ball given by the
Whitefish Volunteer Fire department,
has gone down in history as the
most successful social event the
firemen have ever held. It was also
a success financially, and as re-
suit $3.50 above all expenses have
been added to the treasury. For
the great success of this affair the
credit must be attributed to the
committee In charge, consisting of
G. F. Greiser, Orin Williamson and
H. s. Robinson. They hustled from
beginning to end, and had every
thing SO nicely pre- arranged that
the whole thing moved off without
hitch Of any kind.
The floor was fully occupied with
masqued couples representing every
conceivable state of human being.
Some OF the costumes were the most
grotesQue ever imagined. The cow
boy and cowgirl were there mingled
with the lady with the harem skirt,
the coon, the witch, the sailor, the
clown and the country kid. The on
ly thing that was lacking to make
the crowd complete was Mutt and
Jeff.
The music was furnished by a
four-piece orchestra and many COM
pliments were passed around about
its excellent quality. i
Besides the great number of homo
people in attendance there was a
large crowd from Columbia Falls,
and some came over from Kalispell.
At eleven o'clock the grand march
was started off for the purpose Of
picking out the winners of the priz-.
es. J. H. Crum. j. E., Skyles and
V. B. Mcclure were the judges, and
found that they had a very difficult
job to pick out the ones who were.
justly entitled to the prizes. After
taking all points into consideration
Mrs. Chas. Brawley, dressed as a
coon, was awarded the lady's prize
Tor having the most original CO.'S
tune; Charles CrossleY, for the most
original gents costume; Mrs Farley,
for the most comical lady's costume.
and Will Humphreys, for the most
gents costume.
