Kalispell W as
Good to Guests
Was a Gracious Host to
NeWSwriterS of State
Last Week

Kalispell proved a gracious and
hospitable host to the members of
the Montana Press Association dur
ing their visit in that city the latter
days of last week. Kalispell knows
how to entertain an assem- blage of
visitors and never tires or grows
weary of playing the role of host.
More than a half dozen associations
with a state wide membership have
been entertained during the summer
by the people of the Flathead city
and the deftness, grace and cordiality
with which they chaperoned the
newswriters made them feel that
they would be welcome to stay al
ways in that enchanted. spot that lies
between the Rockies and Kootenai
range, to feast upon its rare scenery
and rarer viands and sing and sail
and dance upon the Klondyke as it
plowed a foamy furrow thru the
prettest lake in all Montana.
The men of the press got down to
serious business session the first
day afler their arrival and that ev-
ening they were guests of the Kali
| NlV,b nt oh nd
dancing party. The following fore
noon they watched Maroney, the
native birdman, make flight at the
fair grounds and that afternoon they
took ride on Flathead Lake, re-
turning late the same evening. Sat
urday was spent at Lake Mcdonald
and the. happy climax was banquet
at Glacier Parks new hotel, as guests
of L. w. Hill,
1t was in no vein of fulsome flat
terry ,hat the association members
unanimously declared that Kalispell
provided them with an article of en-
tertainment never before equalled
and the scenic delights of that far
famed region will linger like sweet
benediction. The Great \ Northern as
usual, spared neither effort nor ex-
pense in providing unmatched trans
portation facilities, courteous atten-
ton and unfailing hospitality on the
part 6f Pass. Agt. McGaughey and

Farm Home
is DESTROYED

During a passing shower that eX-
tended through Headlight Valley,
Sunday evening, a bolt Of lightning
struck the south end of the residence
on the Payne Davis ranch. The
bolt tore out the whole south end of
the house and carried portions of it
for quite distance and in a few
minutes afterward the home was en-
yeloped in flames. Mr.. Davis, the
eldest daughter, and the two little
girls were IN the house at the time,
but escaped without injury. How
ever, before they had recovered
from the shock and before neigh
bors had gathered at the scene the
flames had made such headway that
it was not possible to save much Of
the contents. The house was in
sured for $500 and it is estimated
that the loss was about 81 200, there
being no insurance on the contents.
Mr.. Davis has been the victim Of a
long chain of unfortunate circum-
stances and the people Of town and
community are sympathizing with
him in his latest reverse of fortune

Laying Steel
on Power Line

The work of laying the steel on
the Power-Choteau line of the Great
Falls and Teton Comfy railroad
(the Great Northern) was COM
menced this afternoon. The honor OF
driving the golden spike" being ac-
corded to Wallace Weaver, the son
of Landlord Weaver of the Beaupre
House of this city.
Since noon today large number
of Choteauites, including JIM. Weav-
er, wife and son Wallace, Phil. |.
Cole and brother, Rev. Cole, VIM.
Miller, VIM. Cowgirl, J.E. DeHass,
Jas. Eckford, Al, Reietzch, A. G.
Warner and possibly many others
have gone to Power to witness the
ceremony of driving the first spike.
1t is not expected they will get back
to Choteau until late this evening.
As mentioned in these columns
last week the road bed is practically
completed from Power to the tioul
mill in the southern portion of Chot
eau. During the past few days the
work of grading thru town has com
menced, and this portion of the lin'
will be ready for the rails as sool
as the track laying crew reach here
Track laying should progress a
the rate of mile each day. Thi
will bring the line to Choteau by th
middle of next month, If not before
At that time it is generally expected
that railroad celebration" will b
held here, to which the entire peopl
| of the county will be cordially wei
coined. We would suggest that tn
honor of driving the first spike i
| the townsite be given to Mr.. Jane
| Gibson, who was, we believe the frs
white settler on the Teton.

Good Times
Says Clews

In the opinion of Henry Clews
the twelve months of business de-
preston is at an end, and the pen
dulum is swinging the other way.
The radical change in the money
market, the world over, due in
Europe to the end of the Balkan
war. and in this country to the ac-
tion of the secretary of the treasury
in offering to deposit $50, 10000
or more of reserve funds in the
banks of the west and south for
crop moving purposes, has had a
most heartening effect. Another
buoyant factor is the prospect that
the tariff bill will soon become q
law, removing uncertainty as to
what may be expected in the way
of tariff legislation. Mr.. Clews say'
the prospects of the enactment of
more satisfactory currency bill are
increasing daily and that the prom
ise is for a reasonably satisfactor!
measure passing the house.
The west is in better shape tia,
the east, there being considerable
pessimism yet in evidence in th
eastern commercial centers. Blu
in the west there is general com
mercial activity. THE one poin
of disappointment" says Mr.. Clewl
I'm the present situation, is the ur
questioned damage to the cor
crop, which conservative estimate
now place at about 100000
bushels less than a year ago.

TribulatiOus of the Editor

A Kansas editor says that the
most embarrassing typographical
mistake that ever occurred in his
experience was in connection with
a marriage notice. The bridegroom
was a man by the name of Gum,
whose father, Abraham Gum, was a
leading citizen. The editor wanted
to give the young couple good
send off, but turned in the copy
and trusted to a drunken printer to
get it in the paper all right. The
next morning he read the announce
ment head, GUN-SMITH. The
girls name was Smith. The notice
went on to say that the bride was
tastefully 1rrayed in dress of white
mule (instead of white mulD anG
that she carried large red nose
The copy said rose. He had writer
in regard to the groom that he was
''the well-hked son of A. Gum.
The compositor set it up: The
groom is "a wall-eyed son of gun.
The editor fired that compositor
but just the same he has never beel
able to square himself either witt
bride or groom or with old MAJ
Gum.

Game WardenS
Are Puzzled

When is sunrise and sunset? Not
actually, but within the meaning of
the regulations of the bilogical sur
vey prohibiting the hunting of wild
fowl before sunrise or after sunset.
The question is puzzling the state
game warden's department, which
wonders if the federal survey in
tends working out astronomical cal
culations for every duck pond, not
alone in Montana, but in every
state.
1t is SAID that legally, sunrise and
sunset are fixed astronomically, and
if this be so, the duck hunting sea-
son will open 48 minutes sooner
in eastern Montana than in western
Montana, and what will be within
the law in one part will be viola
tion of it in another part.
According to the figures of the
Helena weather office, sunrise al
Helena September first, when the
season opens, occurs at 5:47 a. m
and sunset at 1905 p. IN. The next
day sunrise occurs at 5:4S and sun
set at 7:06; the next day sunrise oc
ours at $50 and sunset at 1905, anc
continues to vary in about the same
degree day by day until the season
ends December 81.
AS to whether hunters will be ex
pected to find out for themselves
when they can begin and when the!
must stop hunting each day, wheth
er the time of sunrise and sunse
will be designated all alike for
state, or whether it will be fixed &C
cording to the meridians, IS no
known.

Flirting With
Division Ghost
Conrad Communing with
Division Spirit and
Laying Plans

There is a legend in Irish folk
lore about a man named O'Donnell
who in all olden time was the owner
and lord of a castle on the banks of
Lake Killarney. O'Donnell was a
merry Celt, fond of life, good wine,
kindred spirits and midnight revelry.
O'Donnell died, but, as the legend
goes, he would not stay dead very
long at time. He got into the
habit of hopping out of his grave at
frequent intervals, mounting milk
white horse and riding over the
lake to his castle, there to hold high
carnival with his old cronies. When
dawn broke he rode back over the
placid lake and to his grave.
Which brings to mind that other
lively ghost, County Division, who
refuses to stay properly and perma-
nentlv dead, but springs out of his
grave at unseemly times, prances
about and creates much commotion
for a brief period and returns to
his favorite gravey ard for another
short nap.
The Shelby people are hearing
sounds faint and far, of the return
of the ghost of Toole County and
are preparing to give welcome and
cheer to the apparition. We shall
not marvel nor gasp for breath on
hearing that they are actually and
actively campaigning for new div
ision plan-and Shelby for the
county seat, you know.
Conrad, too, is obeying the palpi-
tation and holding Irritation with
the departed spirit of Pondera. A
meeting of the Conrad commercla
club was held recently and afte
hours of sublime and solemn think
ing someone rent the stiffness will
the suggestion that a move be made
to divide Teton county. The sug
gestion was at first received will
a shudder, in remembrance of SOM
recent and unpleasant division his
tory, but Conrad is always courage
Gus and optimistic. A committe
was appointed to devise plans tha
would hatch out an idea agreeable t
everybody; a plan that would ALA
envy, suspicion and fear. We shal
know what we shall know whe
this committee shuffles the deck.
All, well. 1t seems to be in tn
air and in the stars and come it will
but the maps used in the late ur
pleasantness must not be brougf
into view next time. That Conra
committee will gain immortality
it can evolve a plan that will hay
the sanction of all concerned. b.
we should not be too hasty and ras
in passing judgment. If Conrad
plan doesn't meet with our appro'
L 1, -
the proper time arrives.

IBARS SMALL SUBURBAN BANKS

cause suburban towns Of big cities 10 OF
ganize only state banks. The question
arose over applications for the organiza-
ton OF three national banks Of $4,000
capital in the suburbs Of Chicago. The
law provides that $4,000 banks may be or
ganized In places of less than 800 pop
ulation, $1,000 in places of less than 500,
10000 in places OF less than 5000 and
10000 in places OF more than 5oooG popu-
lation.
Based on the opinions by the Solicitor
OF the Treasury Department, IT has been
the custom to regard suburban towns as
separate entities, or places. within the
meaning of the law, and many national
banks of $4,000 or $4,000 capital have been
organized in the suburbs OF New York
and Chicago.
IL is expected that the Treasury Depart
ment will not make the opinion retro
active and disturb the charters OF these
institutions
