County Seat Fight Of '94
Kalispell Graphic Says

Fifty five years ago, pollllcs
were hard fought in the Flat
head. Issues were the county sea'
fight between Columbia Falls and
Kaiispel. Helena and Anaconda
were vying for the state CAPITOL
and there were the populists.
A new county, the Flathead had
been created from Missoula.
Judge Dean King has Nov
7. 1894 copy of the Kalispell Gra-
phic. and here in part is their
account of the county seat fight.
"Kalispell is now the permanent
seat of the County of Flathead
State of Montana. The people
have so declared and thus it shall
be for all time to come.
"Kalispen won strictly on its
merits, and not by bribery or any
other corrupt methods. Columbia
Falls, the other aspirant for coup-
ty seat honors, made every play
they could; they offered fancy
prices for wheat; they put up
worthless checks; offered blocks
of worthless land in their effort
to bride voters, but the taxpayers
Of this county looked to their
interests and voted to locate the
county seat where it rightly be-
ongs - at Kalispell.
."Tne supremacy of the metro
polls of the F'lathead is established
permanently.
1.-THE Bad Rock land boomers
lave received a singing rebuke
or their dishonest and disreput-
lble methods. The Columbian was
old in language palmer than
words found in Webster that it's
and insulting filings
1t Kalispell, were not appreciated
Columbia Falls sold out the en-
ire vote to the populists thus de-
eating Haideman, Lindsay and
,ther republican candidates.

This is the second of two discussions
on railway freight rates. The first dealt
largely with the one reason for rate
advances in the past 21z years: the
staggering cost of producing railway
service-a cost which higher Transport
tation charges have yet to offset, with
consideration of reasonable margin of
profit and encouragement for the
future!

From The Columbian

Here are excerpts from LIZ
Columbian" of November, 1894. BE
fore the election: "When the Intel
Lake says that the big bridge a
Columbia Falls cost F'lathead coun'
ty a cent, it tells a wilful false
hood, and every taxpayer knows II
columbia Falls put $4,000 into
q bridge across the Flathead river
for benefit of the public. The coun'
ty spent $4,000 in bridge Iof
the sole accommodation of Kalis-
pei.
ITO the farmer and producer
there is but one question. Shall
we vote for Kalispel and place our
selves at the mercy of one town,
or shall we vote for Columbia Falls
and strengthen competition and
give us two markets 2"
HotUeUer more interesting are
the comments after the election:
columbia Falls won the county
seat if the good intentions and
cool judgement of people counted
instead of corrupted votes.
Columbia Falls is suffering
from a blow received last Tuesday,
below the belt. The taxpayers,
however, have the satisfaction OF
knowing how and by whom the
foul was delivered.
"Kalispell heelers at Holt were
offering flour in exchange for
votes last Tuesday.
Spokane papers last week
warned their city readers to look
out for an army of hoboes who
were returning to that city after
a visit to Montana where they had
been to vote in a county seat con-
test. Can any one explain where
they voted?. We all know how
they voted.
1.-THE citizens of Columbia Falls
are proud of the fact that not
one illegal vote was cast in this
town.
"Tne editor of the Columbian
desires to express his sincere
thanks to the newspaper men of
Kalispel for the courteous treat
ment accorded him during the
late campaign. Such fraternal ut
terances as We're seen in those
papers can never be forgotten,
and we trust that when the oc-
casion arises our newspaper
brothers of the temporary county
seat will command us. Such noble
gentlemen are rarely found in the
ranks of any profession, for which

when tlle voters of Flathead
county went into the booths last
Tuesday they wrote a prescription
that will physic every taxpayer
and citizen in the county before
two years.
For those misguided individuals
who voted the populist ticket we
have nothing but praise and pea
nuts. The Columbian has strived
so hard for the common good
that it would say no personal word.
AS the people of Columbia Falls
have no other medium, they speak
through The Columbian, and they
feel as though they had been
traded bodily for anarc11ism.
