reITER1 eleelres , -•,•••^\. - , 7 • NEWS OF THE WEEK. George Hawkins is reported sick at fhe Home ranch on the North Fork. Thomas Jefferson returned Satur- day from an extended trip through the Forth Fork region. Try Donaldson's cream of roses for chapped hands and face, at the Model drug store. Remember the ball to -morrow night. It promises to be the most enjoyable social affair in the city's history. The school books have arrived a C. F. Fullerton's. D. Haskill, manager of the Colum- bia Falls Stage and Transfer line, was in town yesterday. Ho says busi- ness is picking up, and that larger freight consignments are arriving at the Egan dock. News comes that quite a number of Egan, Demersville and Kalispell peo- ple will dance in Columbia Falls to- morrow evening. The oastsiders will no doubt be out in full force, and a good time and a nice crowd is assured. The Boss of the Road riveted over- alls for $1 at Fullerton's. A. W. Hooper, brought in a mam- moth potato Tuesday which equals anything yet shown in the potato line. It weighs 1 pound and 10 ounces, and is of the Snowflake variety. It was raised on Mr. Hooper's ranch east of town. Got your prescriptions filled by Donaldson, the pharmacist, at the Model drug store. THE COLUMBIAN this week prints final proof notices for Robert Savage, Rolland Watts, Jos. Ladenberger, Matthew O'Neill, Robertson Baird, Mrs. Mary Minich, Thos. Deegan. Abner W. Hooper, Gustave Heller John Kelly and James Kennedy. Try the Agnes Booth cigar at the Model drug store --it's a dandy. The steamer T. F. Oakes was launched on Saturday and the machinery is being adjusted. It will be ready in a few days for its first trip. It will ply between lake points and Columbia Falls south, and go north from this city to the North Fork coal fields. It will give Colum- bia Falls people an independent line from the foot of the lake and add much to the development of the coal fields. A fine line of single and double har- ness always on hand at the Missoula Mercantile Co. Chan. Smith has returned from his visit to the South Fork mineral belt, and reports that locality all that has been said for it. He saw a \lumber of prospectors in tho region, and a large number of good claims are being opened up. A new trail is being cut out which is free from hills and makes the promising mineral country more acessible. Returns from specimens sent out are very satisfactory, and altogether the outlook is most flattering. George P. Martin has opened a first-class jewelry store at Demers- ville. Repairing promptly attended to. 6 On Wednesday last a jovial party, consisting of eight couples, left Col- umbia Falls and vicinity, for White Fish Lake, where they spent the day boating and fishing. When evening came they were royally entertained by the employes of Mr. Miles, who welcomed them to their house where they stayed until daybreak tripping the light fantastic. The members of tho party speak in the highest terms of their generous treatment by the lake boys. We are prepared to fill all proscrip- tions; our stock is fresh and conm- plete. MODEL DRUG STORE. George I. Bumbaugh and George Chilsou returned Monday from a three weeks trip to the Kootenai couatry. They made a rather ex- tended examination of the miaes and mineral belts of that region and re- turned with a number of specimens from the various developed proper- ties. They think the Kootenai will be a poi region in a few years, although at present all branches of business and industry are in a chaotic state. People are flocking in there, but few moneyed men have taken hold as yet. As a promising field it is not, in their opinion, equal to the Flat- head valley. Has no equal. The Boss of the Road overall. C. F. FULLERTON. T. H.Pean, the well-known con- tractor who has built many of the subetantial buildings in Columbia Falls, goes to the Kootenai country in a day or two, where he is interested in a toernsite on Libby creek. As- sociated with him are A. C. Sheldon county commissioner, and E. L. Reed, an old California partner of Mr. Dean's. The numerous friends here wish Mr. Dean godspeed and success in any enterprise he may undertake. Ho still retains his interests in Columbia Falls, and re- gards this city as his future home. Remember the school books have been adopted by the legislature for six years, and only these can be used in any part of the state. (. 1 . - riPMERTON. - es e ess. The horse thief seems to be active as over. Saturday night a horse was stolen from the harness maker, on Ninth street, and as yet no trace of the missing animal has been found. G. J. Langford, Ed. J. Mathews and TIIE COLUMBIAN man took a trip to the North Fork coal mines, starting Friday lust. Mr. Langford remained up there for a few days hunting. The Nucleus Avenue meat market has received a lot of new machinery for the manufacture of sausage, bologna, etc. It is the purpose of the owners to make it the best equip- ped market in the valley, and the efforts now seen go far in that direc- tion. A Sunday school picnic has been arranged for Saturday next, in which the Sunday school children, teachers and friends will participate. The scholars are expected to meet at the city hall and march to the grounds accompanied by their teachers. The grounds selected are pretty as any in the Flathead valley. \A Citizen,\ writes to THE COLUM- BIAN protesting against the band boys practicing at night. The letter has some very good suggestions, and is well written, but anonymous com- munications will under no circum- stances be printed, and letters must be signed by the writer'a full name, \not necessarily for publication, but as a guarantee of good faith. Died. Tuesday morning John Henry Roberts died at the residence of Mrs. Thomas, on Nucleus avenue. His disease was a species of dropsy, and baffled the skill of physicians. On Monday Dr. Piedalue called Dr. Sanders of Demersville into consul- tation on the case. Mr. Roberts' con- dition was such that death seemed certain. He lingered until Tuesday morning when he passed away. John Henry Roberts was born in London, England, and was 24 years old. Ho had been in this country fifteen months, having lived in Great Falls and Helena. He canum to Col- umbia Falls in April last. Ho came to America in search of better health, having been in poor health in Eng- land. He made numerous friends wherever he went and had many popular traits of character. Undertaker 'McMahon, embalmed the body and it will be sent to Eng- land for interment. Bedding, dry goods, gents' fur- nishing goods, hardware and tinware at Sully's. Notes of Reilroad Work. The mill of the B & M Commercial company has been moved fourteen miles down the canyon, passing around mill No. 2, which is at station 1001. Harry Swan has started raising the bridge at Station 885. Ho has his traveler up and will, finish it in twenty days. Porter Bros., have moved their headquarters to Station 885, using the old office of the B & M Corn. Co. Graders are at work on both sides of Columbia Falls and the contract for the work through the town has been let. Much complaint is heard all along the line about the mail service. The men all pay one cent per day for a letter carrier, which is a splendid sum, but it is almost impossible to get mail through. Papers directed to men become public property, and the uneducated carrier allows every- body to paw over the mails. As a result the men on the last cud of the road get no mail and are justly in- dignant. oar Public School to the Front. It is with a feeling of local pride that THE COLUMBIAN, this week, refos to the public school. If any one had over entertained the least apprehen- sion that there was no real, genuine talent in this direction, he must have had all such doubts dispelled after visiting this school. About eight months ago, in the heart of the agri- cultural district of Montana, sprang the city of Columbia Falls. Her growth has been phenomenal. What has been done in the line of building up a city and its commerce, has also been accomplished in the line of education. Much credit is due the promoters for the efficient manner in which they brought the school under headway. The school room is well lighted and has a seating capacity for two hundred pupils, and during the past two weeks the daily attendance has been fifty- two. White & Murphy, at the City Mar- ket, Second Avenue West, are selling choice moats at very reasonable prices. A Splendid School. The academy of the Providence Sis- ters at Missoula, Mont., is recom- mended for solid tuition and careful education of girls. Boys under twelve years are also admitted. For particulars apply at the acad- emy, or address the euperioress. C. F. Sully has opened his store on Nucleus avenue and is ready to sup- ply every customer. MOUNTAIN VIEW NOTES. Regular Correepondence of Tat COLUMBIAN. Demersville is running two ferries. One charges 10 cents for teams, while the other is free. All footmen are al- lowed on both ferry boats free. Your scribe noticed many people doing trading there who live within a few miles of the Falls. Some claim that they cannot patronize stores of the Fall on account of prices, while others go to Demersville because of the free ferry. The Falls is losing trade. A pointer for business men. Put in a free ferry. Mr. S. Pangburn, of Demerssille, has been up on his ranch a few days. He calculates to stay on his pls., this winter. Our local butcher, A. C. Miller, tells a great boar story and shows a dilapi- dated wagon to confirm his words. It seems the bear wanted some meat and could not get it without breaking part of the wagon. Mr. Miller and friends laid in wait for the bear and succeeded in killing him. He is a fine specimen and the fur is splendid. Mr. Miller's wheat and oat crop amounts to about 1,200 bushels. It is well filled grain and shows what the Flathead can produce without the trouble of irrigating. The Seek & Son's Saw Mill com- menced running to -day. The high water in the lake has been a great detriment to Mr. Seek, but now he has got started and will be able to continue all winter. Consideralmle shooting is heard. Hunters are already taking advantage of the game law. Pity the un- fortunate deer. Wm. Mooring, Jr., is riding for Wm. Ramsdell in the Kootenai and Tobacco Plains countries. Mr. Sisson has recovered from his injury of a few weeks ago and is burning trees faster than over. Mr. Thomas Lee has built a new granery for his largo crop of grain this season. The Harrington threshing machine is working down the valley. The largest crop of oats yet was at Mr. Churchill's. He had a crop of 5,400 bushels. Some parts of his ranch yielding as high as 75 bushels to the acre. Mr. Lawrence Firestein, the taxi- dermist of the East Side, has the finest collection of trophies in his line of any one in the Flathead valley. He has the heads and wings of ducks, geese, owls, cranes and eagles, also skins and heads of squirrels, deer, wolves, coyotes and numerous other animals. Three deer heads he has mounted with glass eyes are a credit to him as a taxidermist. Mr. Fire - stein has been in the valley five years, and is a good hunter and can tell some good hunting stories. He re- cently mounted a deer head for F. Laugford of the Falls which does him credit. ACME. Sept. 16, 1891. Born, Toe. F. Harrigan, of tile East side, this morning, a boy, weight 10 pounds. The happy father was in town today, receiving the congratulations of his friends. To Michael Bruuer, Friday last, a boy, weight 12 pounds. This beats weight record in this vicinity, and the daddy is proud. Lathes and gent's saddles always on hand at the Missoula Mercantile Co.
