Instead of spending their days and

power to speed up the manufacture of

successful conclusion. There is little

ANNOUNCEMENT.

l have spent my summer vacations
tor the past SO years on Flathead lake.
and am now - years Of age. and hope
to live &c years longer and see the
greatest and most renowned summer
resort in the world built around the
200 miles Of shores and on the islands
OF this most wonderful awe inspiring
mountain lake.
Until recently. F1athead lake has
been isolated and unknown to the
world, being located in the heart of
the Rocky mountains between two
transcontinental railroads passing on
the north and south.'
Ever since the completion OF these
two transcontinental railroads. l have
diligently and persistentiy pointed out
to the Powers that Be" the advis.
ability of building branch lines to
| reach both ends of the lake, using
| water transportation for the connect
ing link between the railroad termin-
ais. thus uniting the north and south
portions Of the state Of Montana, as
we'll as the two national parks stu
ated within It's borders.
! The great ambition OF my life will
soon be realized. A branch line touch
ing the north shore OF the lake Is and
has been in operation for some time,
and a branch line from the south, to
terminate at the south shore Of the
lake, is rapidly nearing completion,
and in order to further improve ia
cilities for the taveling public. I shall
Immediately incorporate the Flathead
Lake Hotel company. to be capitalized
for one million dollars. for the pur-
pose Of erecting a thoroughly modern
hotel on one Of the most picturesque
sites on F1athcad lake. and also to
build two of the most palacial ferry
boats in the world. with ample ia.
cilities for carrying 1000 passengers
and 80 automobiles. to ply day ant

at the north and south ends OF tho
lake, 50 miles apart.
