For a black silk, silk mixed or light flannel shirt call on the Missoula Mercantile Co. SITUATION Wsxran: By an experi- enced steam engineers—By Adam E. Si ins, Coluinbia Falls. The rainy weather of last Friday and Saturday stilled the sound of the hammer, but gave vegetation gener- ally a good start. LOST: Tuesday afternoon, between Columbia Falls met the ferry, a dark colored cloth overcoat. Please re- turn to this office. P. S. A. Biekel, now platting an addition to Kalispell, was in town last week and added one more lot to his real-estate purchases hens The Missoula Mercantile Co. have just received a ear load of Sehluttler wagons, also a fine line of top buggies, buck boards, road carts and spring wagons. The business of getting out railroad ties has already commenced, and hundreds of them are piling up along the proposed line of the Great North- ern railroad. Edmund Gale, Jr., of Demersvslle, has just received over 3,0410 (hall& rolls of wall paper, which is by far the best selected stock of wall paper ever seen in 1\lonta, - ,a. Mr. Hill, of Butte, and Mr. R. D. Mather, of the \Butte Miner,\ were in town this week and went away - favor- ably impressed with the outlook for the future of this growing town. Last Friday a belt broke ill the saw mill and striking the head of D. A. Thetge, foreman, knocked him 'sense- less; he was taken home and a doctor called, and is now able to be at work again. The Missoula Mercantile Co. have just received the largest consignment. of wines, liquors and cigars over bro't to the Flathead. Call and inslieet their immense stock before purchas- ing elsewhere. Among the visitors to the Falls on Sunday were Rev.

Augustus Renkert, of Wallace, Idaho, came to Columbia Falls Tues- day, after spending a few days in Kalispell and vicinity. He purchased a lot on Nucleus avenue, near the Windsor hotel, and will build on it at once, and open a general store at an early date. The people of Columbia Falls are a unit in demanding that, their mail service be investigated and improved. Time after tune the empty mail sack fells that the postmaster at Demers- ville has neglected to forward the mail for this city How much longer must we endure this? Is there no way of correcting these abuses of the United States mail? Last Sunday was quite lively in town. A company returned from the coal banks with samples of coal; the samples are taken from the surface and of course are not as good as will be found further in, but they are pro- nounced of very fine quality and su- perior to any yet discovered in Mon- tana. Those already returned from the coal fields report the prospect of a very lively summer there. Clifford, Stannard and Clinton have closed a contract with County Clerk and Recorder Bogart, whereby they are to have access to the office in com- pleting an abstract of the Flathead property. This has been a lonefelt want and investors will find it to their interest to consult the above -named gentlemen on all matters pertaining to titles. They will be ready for bus- iness in sixty days. See their ad in this issue. Columbia Falls is to be congratu- lated on its able and energetic advo- cate TUE COLUMBIAN, the first copy of which is on our exchange table. The paper is a four -page six column weekly, presenting an exceptionally neat and tasty typographical appear- ance, and is bran full ot live and in- teresting editorial matter and local news. It is owned and edited bysMr. John NV. Pace, formerly of Helena, a bright sad competent journalist, who will make his paper a power for good in that new and prosperous town, which promises to be one of the best in the Flathead region.—River Press.

His office will be in Kennedy's buildieg over the post -office, and tie no desir- ing to buy or sell town lots, ranches, &c., will do well to give him a call. in reference to the mineral spoken of in last week's issue, it has liven demonstrated Is.yond quits:that that. mining within thirty miles of Colum- bia Falls will be one of the many in- dustries beneficial to our growing me- tropolis. Samples of quartz can iv saeu at Blodgett & Lewis' oflice. Tuesday evening Lawyers :Midget t mid Miller astonished 111e hatives by walking into town, bearing between them, suspended from a sagging sap- ling, a Flathead river whale about six inches long. The legal light bibited every indication of exhaust km as they boldly marched to the Wind- sor house and ordered the \fish\ fried for supper. The following evening Lawyer Miller retrieved his piscatti- rial reputation by bringing in a fine string of fish, but Lawyer Blodgett Juts yet to make a record.

The rope on the ferry across the Flathead river at this place broke on Wednesday. The ferry boat was rap- idly carried down stream a distance of half a mile to the bridge. Here the current brought it between the bank and the fisst pier at the north end of the bridge, where the eddy water made it an easy matter to land. Four men who had loaded the 'boat with flour for Ramsdell Brothers, were aboard with the two ferrymen. They had a short butt exciting ride, which fortunately terminated without disas- ter. N4it ice.

Now, the long wrists may be cut In strips, end contrasting or har- monious tints, such as primrose on mauve, or tan color and lemon, or pale gray and white are joined together, and the joining covered with beads—gold, silver, steel, crystal, or bright colored beads of varied sizes. Spangles, too, may be sparingly used with good effect. The beads must be sewn on securely, and strong purse silk is best for this purpose. When a sufficient number of strips have been joined a border may bo ar- ranged of squares diagonally put to- gether, - or disks joined with a bead net- work; the finishing fringe should be netted at the top. A bright idea was that of a debutante who used her first season's gloves in the making of tobacco bags, which she presented to her most attentive first season beaux. Another rosebud, whose old fashioned writing desk contains many shelves and pigeon - Ii ', has made from the gloves worn s a curtain in alternating four ineh %. il stripes of tan color and eleam, joined with gold and silver beads on each of the stripes she sketch A. = pia, n date and device. This eurr: , :a she hung in front of the obnoxious 1.,ceonholes from an oxidized silver rod. Work bags, photograph cases and frames, book covers, opera glass bags and small table covers are among the useful articles for which this work will serve; handkerchief and glove cases of pale gray and tan, joined with cut steel beads and lined with pale pink satin, are exceedingly dainty souvenirs. —New York Sun. Human malice finished at last by growing weary of the Alpine dwarfs. One day an Oberlander had the wicked idea of cutting in two the branches of the tree where they were perched, 80 that they fell down pell ruell, and from that day dwarfs disappeared. Others say that the mountaineers pushed their infamy so far as to heat the rocks on which the little creatures placed their feet, and others again af- firm that indiscreet curiosity was the cause of their hasty flight. It was said that under the great cloak they always wore they concealed the fact that their feet were like those of geese and ducks. One day as they were going to gather cherries for a peasant out of pure complaisance he bestrewed cinders all around, with the sole object of seeing whether they were webfooted. The genii perceived the trap, decamped, and since then have been seen no more. At the foot of the Wetterhorn I was shown a 'subterra- nean cavern which used to serve these dwarfs as a dwelling place.—Henry Haynie in Chicago Berald. Washington's Old Home. It may not be generally known that the Mount Vernon estate, Washinbton's old home, was purchased by the women of the United States, who made volun- tary contributions for the purpose. A vice regent is chosen from each state, forming an association for the manage- ment of the property. The income de- rived from admission fees of visitors keeps the place in fine condition. Sir Julian Pauncefoto, acting for the Prince of Wales, lately planted an English oak tree before Washington's tomb, in place of that planted by this prince thirty years ago.—New York Ledger.
