to live 26 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. have
diligently and persistently 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 termins
ais. thus uniting the north and south
portions OF the state of Montana, as
we'll as the two national parks stu
ated within its 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 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. shall
Immediately incorporate the Flathead

for one million dollars, for the pur-
pose OF erecting a thoroughly modern
hotel on one Of the most picturesque
sites on Flathead lake, and also to
build two of the most palacial ferry
