Had Cleanup Day

Monday was cleanup day as we'll

been an over-abundance of petty
criminality in the little town in re-
cent months and the residents have
long complained. Taking the law in
into their own hands the irate cit
-zens visited the dives and brothels
broght forth the soiled doves, vag-
rants and undesirables and drove
them from the town much after the
manner in vogue in biblical times.
The public will demur and COM
plain and will often suffer wrongs
in silence but when once aroused
public opinion comes pretty close
to having it's own way if it has to
pursue strenuous methods to get it..
Nothing can save or protect those
whose methods do not meet with
public approval-not even a drag

Irrigation From

came from the clouus of the cerule-

putting about diversion into certain
bitches and the proper proportions
for each settler, no question about
charges and extra assessments, no
pale government attaches to SUPER
wise the work. And the home
steaders in the valley seem just as
well satisfied.
In the rim country they had a
veritable cloudburst and water
rushed in torrents from the higher
to the lower levels. All through
the country beyond Headlight Butte
the rain descended in great quanti-
ty. The rain was accompanied at
times by a spectacular electrical
display and several wire fences
were struck and torn down for a
short distance, but no loss of stock
or other damage is reported.
While there was not the slightest
apprehension of drought. Sundays
rain has strengthened the faith of
the newer settlers and sustained the
contentious of the older ones-that
it rains here just when it is needed.

SWEET SLEEP
FOR TWINS
Neither Shelby Nor Conrad
Expect a Favorable
Decision

Toole and Pondera coun-
ties are all but officially dead
today. A written opinion
from the state supreme court
is all that is needed now to
lull them to quiet summer
sleep-and an eternal rest,
no doubt. Uncover your
heads and speak softly as the
bier goes by, bearing the re-
mains of the ill-fated Twins.
The review hearing was
held at Helena this week.
Norris & Hurd appeared in
behalf of the persons who
made protest. Col. Nolan,
brilliant and picturesque
Celt, appeared for Shelby.
Atty. Mcconnell was coun-
sci for Pondera. Col. Nolan
lacked his old fire and clever
ness, they say. Once he did
make the remark that Toole
might possibly be "galvaniz-
ed back to life" while the
staid judges smiled broadly
with the others present. The
proceedings were somewhat
of a joke. Neither Conrad
nor Shelby representatives
showed spirit or hope at any
juncture. They realized
fully that it was a hopeless
fight for an unhappy cause.
The written opinion Of the.
court judges is expected to
be published in few days
and the last vistage of doubt
will then vanish.

Sunday evening during the severe
rain and electrical storm, lighting
struck the residence of T.J.Sollcm

entered the roof near the center of
the house, tearing its path thru the
shingles and sheeting, followed the
partition between dining room and
bedroom, all pictures and inside
fixtures were badly scorched. Mrs.

Drowned in
The Flathead

H. +. Hedrick, a clerk in the
Kalispell post office, who was known
to many in Cut Bank and commun-
ity, was drowned in the Flathead
river last Sunday. Although a
diligent search has been made for
the body, the search has been fruit
less. Hedrick is believed to have
been sucked beneath one of the
numerous jams of drift in the swol-
len current, and the body may new
er be found.
Hedrick lost his life when a can
vas canoe capsized. The boat in
which he and Clyde Cobb, the Kali
spell taxidermist, undertook @
make the journey down the Flat
head from Columbia Falls, capsized
in treacherous whirlpool. Al
though the men had life preservers,
they were helpless, and only with
difficulty was Cobb rescued By
Charles Lawrence, why happened to
obseave them floating down the
stream. Cobb was drawn upon a
drift by Lawrence, who hastily
procured boad, but he was nearly
dead from exposure and exhaustion
before Lawrence reached him. He'd
rick sank soon afterward before he
could be reached.
Postmaster White has offered a
reward of one hundred dollars for
the recoveay of Hedrick's body.
The dead man came to Kalispell
several years ago for the benefit of
his health, and leaves a wife and
two children.

Farmers Urged
To Cooperate
Saturday Evening Post

AT THE National Conference on
Marketing and Farm Credit, Mr.
Spillman of.the Department of Agr-
iculture, produced an estimate that
the average farm income is about
six hundred and fifty dollars year;
and that, after allowing a reasonable
interest on his investment, the aver
arge farmer gets about one dollar
day for his own labor.
True. the farmer is his own boss
and, according to this calculation,
he is one of the very worst bosses
in the country, He not only makes
himself work long hours in all kinds
of weather but pays himself scandal
ously low wages. If ever There was
justification for a general strike it
exists in this industry. We hope to
see the time when farmers will en-
roll themselves in a union and walk
out, refusing to do another lick of
work except upon the following con-
ditions; That pre-Adamite methods
of cultivation, by which given plot
of ground produces. less than half
as much as it should, be abandoned
forthwith; that the preventable
waste in marketingfarm products
which Mr.. Yoakum estimates at one
billion five hundred million dollars
year-be corrected by cooperative
marketing.
If every farmer can bring his own
boss to these terms there is no reason
why he should not pay himself dou-
BILE the present wages and cut down
his working day to a reasonable
length. On the whole he cannot
expect higher prices from the con-
sumer than these now obtaining; nor
can he, on the whole. expect much
cheaper transportation by rail. For
higher profits he must look to deer
eased cost of production of the unit,
to decreased cost of reaching the
railroad station, and to reduction of
the present waste IN marketing his
produce.

ALLEGED SECRET MEANS
TillamOOk Citizens EnjOin Levy For
Paving BY Warren COnstruc-
ton Company.

Tillamook, Ore, March 20.--A
suit filed by number of citizens to
enjoin the city council from making
an assessment on property for sewer
and street pavement, and the failure
of the council to make the assess
ment at stormy session Monday
night, led the Warren Construction
Company to file suit in the circuit
court yesterday against the mayor
and council to recover $103,524.59
being 80 per cent on account for
grading, paving, curbs and bitulithic
headers-and for $37,749.72, being
so per cent for the sanitary sewer
system.
1t is charged that the company OBJ
tanned the contract by "artful, subtle
or secret MEANS" and the property
owners contend that the pavement
was not laid according to the con-
tract.
The case will be tried before
Judge Galloway at the April term OF
the circuit court.

THE ELKS INITIATE TEN
Ashland Lodge No. 944, B. p. o. E.,
Put Horns on Drove From
Over the Line.

Saturday night was a big night at
the Elks hall. A drove of ten fawn
were given antlers in the good old
fashioned way by the brethren of
No. 944. The candidates were most
ly from over the line in California
and comprised the following: James
G. Catchett, George C. Behnke, M.
H. Neimeyer,. Geo, ge F. Wilkinson,
w. E. Treble, Chester Lowman,
Henry F. Stuhr, H. L. Harrington.
Weed; NJ. H. Grover, Jr., Hit, and
Spratt Wells, of Ashland.
The escort of Elks which brought
a part of the bunch over from Weed
Friday put them in a closed cage in
the baggage car and kept them
there until they reached Edgewood,
making them believe that they would
be compelled to come the entire dis
tance to Ashland in that manner. On
Saturday evening a bunch of Elks,
headed by a handorgan, went to the
train to meet those who came on
that day to take in the initiation.
