Do NOT WANT
AUTO ROAD
FARMERS ARE INDIGNANT AT
WORK OF THE COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS.

Strong opposition to the present
policy Of the county commissioners
In the building Of highways was ex-
pressed in resolutions adopted at a
meeting of hundred farmers called
together by F. c. Spannuth, at the
opera house of Kalispeu, for the
purpose OF getting an expression Of
the rural sentiment on the road ques-
tion. Resolutions were adopted sharp
ly crittcing the county commissioners
for the policy of prompting the so
called scenic roadways as the reso-
buttons declared at the expense of
the valley highways. The expendi-
lures upon the Glacier park highway
and routes designated to connect
outeide points with the valley were
unfavorably compared with those
ter the Improvement of local roads.
and q direct appeal is made to the
board of county commissioners to
direct more attention to the improve
ment of existing roads in the
most populous sections of the
county rather than the building
of roads from which the tourist
Is declared to receive the mcst val
ue. The resolutions will be present
ed to the beard at the first oppor-
tunity and If the appeals fail of con
sideration other meetings to agitate
the theme will be held, according to

GIRLS HAVE
NARROW ESCAPE
THEIR RIG Is STRUCK By BIG
AUTO AND Is REDUCED TO
KINDLING WOOD.

Grace and Ethel Manning, two
girls who live near the Parker ranch
q few miles south OF Kalispell had
q very narrow escape from death
last Thursday afternoon. When driv-
ing to town they met DR.. Bottorf
and party Of friends in their big
automobile. The horse became some
what frightened just as the
automobile came up and reared
sharply to one side directly in front
of the big machine. Before the auto
mobile could be stopped it struck
the rig and reduced it to kindline
wood. Miss Ethel was thrown clear
of the wreckage, but her sister was
dragged several feet and badly
bruised about the body.
Mr.. Fitch, who was in the car
with quickness of thought grabbed
the young lady from under the ca,
and saved her from being run over.
Both hind legs of the horse were
broken and the animal was later sho,
to put it out Of misery.
The Manning girls were taken to
Kalispell in the auto by DR.. Bot
tort who attended to their bruises
They have now recovered nicely
from their accident and no serious
results are anticipated.
The driver of the car did all in
his power to avert the accident and
drove away off to one side of the
road into the ditch nearly upsettine
in the mix-up.

ASK STATE
FOR HELP
CLEAR THE LOGGED OFF LAND
AND MAKE INDUCEMENTS FOR
PEOPLE TO SETTLE.

The logged off lands were the
chief topic of discussion at the gath
ering Of the INLAND Empire CONNER
cial clubs at Metaline Falls. Wash,
Saturday. The proposition Of hav-
ing these lands settled and devel-
oped was considered a big and per-
tinent question of the northwest.
Here are some Of the things the
convention did: Went ON record
favoring the enactment of legislation
that would permit the formation
OF the bonding districts for the
purpose of getting funds to defray
the expense of clearing stump
areas.
That the legislature should re
quire each county in the state to
purchase 40 acres Of stump land and
conduct an experiment. station.
That special attention should be
given by the state college at Pull
man to the logged-off land subject.
That the governor should be au-
thorized to appoint an immigration
agent for the state and that the
state should take active interest in
attracting settlers here.
That a logged off land exhibit
should be maintained in the Spo-
kane Chamber of Commerce.
The productiveness of a great part
OF these timbered lands has passed
beyond the experimental stage. In
various parts settlers have demon
strated their really marvellous fertil-
.ity. their adaptability to clover. tim
othy fruits and berries, and every
product of the field and garden.
Some Of them are amassing wealth
rapidly, and meanwhile living a
pleasant life amid beautiful and in
spring surroundings.
The opportunities and advantages
now extended to families who make
homes in the forest were contrast
ed with the hardships and priva-
tions that were endured by the pio-
neers SO or 100 years ago who
cleared the hardwood forests in the
eastern states.
At the conclusion of the meeting
It was urged that commercial bodies
railroads and land owners unite In
a vigorous campaign to put settlers
on the vacant lands in eastern Wash.
ington and northern Idaho.

STUMP BLASTING DOES
DAMAGE TO POWER WIRE

Road Supervisor Dan Good has
had a crew of men at work the last
week blasting stumps out of the
roadway just south of the county
bridge so that the road can be put
where it belongs and be widened
out. This is the last link and then
the road to KalispeM will be in ex-
cellent shape all the way down to
the county seat.
Some OF these stumps were un-
usually large. requiring large charg-
es of dynamite. and the flying piec-
es did great deal of damage to
the power and telephone wires. Sew
eral times = day the service was in
terrupted. but the worst has been
finished now and there 10 not like
ly to be any more trouble with the
power.

ably started to get up, but too late,
for he was struck by the engine and
his head was severed from his body.
The accident happened at a point
about two miles east OF Warland.
Coroner George Ottowa brought

The first that was known that
anything serious had happened was
when the mother, who had missed
the boys for two hours, inquired of
the little fellow when he came hcme
where his brother was. He informed
her that Miles was in the river. With
several of the neighbors Mrs. Parks
went down to the river and found
the report to be true. The little fell
low could be seen lying on the bot
tom at the end of the dock in about
five feet of water.
The alarm was spread through the:
neighborhood and phone message
was sent to Chief Of Police Hotter
who summoned doctor and hurried.
to the scene. The body was easily
reached and taken out ct the water
and an effort was made to resuai-
tate it, but it had been in the water.
too long. From what can be learned
from the fouF-year-old brother tha
body had been in the water for am
hour or more.
Mr.. Parks is travelling engineer
on this division of the Great North
ern. He was out on a train east
of here when the accident happened,
but was reached by phone at Essex

pose.s

site where the present one now
stands on Second street, and the old
building will be moved on to the
lots owned by the city at the corner

vantage to house city property and
tools, II nothing else.
The new structure proposed will
be modern building of brick, and
will contain room: for all the city
officers. q place for nremen and

score and doing an ocean of good.
Besides sound literature full OF the
quality which convinces, it has the
novel and unique likewise. Its whistle
for Nevada is effective and oftimes
more than not will outclass any other
form of advertising, for with the max
ing of a pleasant noise for Nevada it
enforces that Nevada aside from its
immense gold and silver and lead and
copper deposits presents i'll a most eff
fective sense that durability OF enter

TO PERPETUATE THE MEMORY OF
LOYAL WOMEN OF THE CIVIL WAR
Building to be Erected Memorial to the Women Who
Sacrificed Their Loved Ones to Preserve the Union

A monument to the memory Of the
loya1 women of the Civil War will
become an enduring reality if Con
gress enacts into law joint resolu
ton Just introduced by Hon. Elihu
Root of New York in the Senate and
Hon James L. Slayden of Texas in
the House This project. which has
lain dormant in the minds of the peo-
pie for almost half a century, has been
put into concrete form by the gener-
osity and patriotism of the Comman
derry of the State of New York of the
Military Order of the Loyal Legion
of the United States.
1t is not proposed to make the mon
ument merely a remembrance of per-
sons and deeds, not merely memo
rial of lifeless stone or bronze, but a
noble building full of the spirit OF
| helpfulness, of tender sympathy, of
humane and patriotic devotion that
lived III the women to whom this
monument is to be erected. This
spirit is the spirit of the Red Cross,
and for this reason the memorial is
to be given to the Red Cross in per-
petuity for its headquarters in Wash
ington.
Toward the carrying out of this pur-
! the purchase of a suitable site in the
pose the commandery has pledged it
! self to secure and give the sum oil
| 100000 on condition that Congress
| appropriate an equal amount as a con-
| tribution of the United States toward
city of Washington, the improvement
of the grounds, etc Thus the memo
rial will be made truly national, the
tribute of all the people to the sacred
memory of the loyal women of the
war. The Red Cross, on its part
is to agree to secure an endowment
fund, the income OF which will be suf-
.icient to maintain the building for all
time.

At the banquet of the Loyal Legion
held in New York, October A. 1911,
Hon James NJ Beck, in urging the
creation of the monument, gave an ad-
dress from which the following tribute
is quoted:
1--WE need not fear the verdict of
the future as to what we now plan to
do. There are many memorials to the
deathless valor of the brave men, who
in the four years from 1861 to 1865 re
sponded to the call of their country
and in many cases laid down their
lives for its preservation; but not less
worthy of commemorative art is the
equal patriotism of the women OF
America, who as truly threw their
hearts into the great struggle for the
Union, and who freely gave their lives
at the no less dangerous posts of duty
of the fever stricken camps, which fol
lowed with the scythe of death the
march of our mighty armies.
ITO the mothers who gave their
sons, to the wives who gave their hus-
bands, to the sisters who gave their
brothers. to the women who became
nurses, to those who in the privacy
of their home gave their earnings and
all the work of their hands, to one
and all let us erect this noble memo
rial and in payment of a long deferred
debt. let our memorial be more beau
tiful than any memorial known to
man. Let it stand for all that woman
has been in American history"
The resolution introduced by Mr..
Root and Mr. Slayden is the first step
on the part of Congress toward the
acceptance of this generous proposal
of the Loyal Legion OF New York.
Appealing as the project does to all
that is tender and sacred in the NOM
cries OF the old and the gratitude of
the young, it is believed it will re
ceive the hearty support of large
majority of both houses of Congress.
