ANOTHER TRAGEDY
IN THE NORTH FORK

Although the information is very
meager in its character, yet there is
enough evidence at hand to prove
that another tragedy has been en-
acted in the North Fork valley by
the finding OF what is believed to be
the remains of "Slim" Link, a we'll
known trapper in that part of the
valley near the Canadian boundary.
Settlers came across the CHASTITY
find on Sunday and on Tuesday ar
rived at Bolton with the remains.
They had stopped at Links cabin,
but found it deserted ,and the clothes
Of the owner we're lying on the floor.
A short distance from the cabin q
body was found and with remnants
Of underclothing lying near, and a
trap gun a few feet away ALSO a six
shooter.
It is presumed that Link had set
the gun for bears and during the
night heard the discharge Of the RI
fle. Getting out of bed and not stop
ping to dress, he took a revolver
and went out to investigate and was
perhaps attacked by a wounded bear
and killed.
1t is evident that the affair 0c-
CURED in the early winter, az Link
has not been seen for several
months.-Columbian.

the days are shorter.

train. consisting of eleven cars pass
ed through here shortly after dinner
Tuesday, carrying a big delegation
from the Twin Cities and other
points along the line to the North
western Development League which

The train was due here at 1920
in the morning, according to the
schedule, and was to make stop
of cne-half hour, but on account OF
being over two hours behind time
they only remained Is minutes,
which gave the businessmen ample
time for handshake at least There
was good delegation of the rep
resentative business men at the de-
pct to greet the visitors, and there
would have been more he'd the train
been on time.
This train is the creates" Boost
er Special" that has ever been run
by any railroad. II even surpasses
the Governors special which was talk
ed of so much last winter and was
thought to be the first word in
travelling comfort and palatial
beauty.
The train had as passengers a
representative body of Twin city
business men, and it is the great
est trade boosting trip ever started
from the Twin City Gateway. The
Governors Of several states were
picked up enroute to Seattle, also
delegations of business men from
the larger towns alcug the route.

FARM
NEAR DEPOT
WHEAT AND OATS BEING
PLANTED ON GREAT NORTH
ERN RIGHT-OF.WAY.

Whitefish is going to have a reg
ular exhibition farm in front of the
depot, and the people passing thru
on the trains in a couple of months.
will be able to Judge of the won
derful fertility of Whitefish soil for
themselves when they see the wheat
and oats that will be growing there
At first it was intended to have the
piece of plowed and cleared ground
lying between the depot and the city
limits sewed with grass seed and
made into park but the funds gave
out before the work was completed,
and there was no way to get anoth-
er appropriation this year, so Mayor
Mayfield entered into a deal with
G S. James to finish narrowing and
discing the ground; he to SOW it
with wheat and oats, and i'm return
for his work to have what was rails,
ed. Mr.. James considers this a very
good bargain, as he will reap T.
bountiful harvest next fall, and at
the same time will be performing a
great favcr fer the city iii general
by putting this strip of ground un--
der cultivation and beautifying the
entrance to the city, which before
was overgrown with weeds and COW
cred with stumps.
Mr.. James is very much interested
In the work, and he intends to make
this piece of ground a great adver-
tisenent for the town. He is pre-
pairing the soil in a very careful
manner, and will give it his careful
attention until the grain has ma
tured. He says that he will show
some of the skeptics something to-
talk about and make the eyes of the
homeseeker bulge out with wonder.
