SATURDAY. JULY 4 1003. H u .Glorious Kourth. To-day in almost every city, town and hamlet in thie vaet republic are asaem- ,bled peo»la to celebrate with Joy and gretitade the anniversary of America’i indendence, and while there ie no form al programme befitting ao grand an oc casion, at Columbia Falls, ourpoopts are nevertheless joyful and grateful, At the emblem of liberty ia unfurled to the breeso upon this day, it eeems t hearts with Joy and pride more than upon any other day in the year. But on thie memorable day there seems to; be depicted more vividly, and portrayed more deeply within the folds of that most glorious of all banners on earth, the memory of those who in ages past straggled that we might enjoy the free dom 'that this grand government now afford the people. Knowing that thie entblem that was handed down to us n t a greatcoat of treasure and blood means the same to ns, and to Americans who are Americans, whether at Colum bia Falls or in any part of the tyorld, from darkest Africa and jangled Asia ’ •od Ihq flowery kingdom to civilisation, every dajrvjn the year as it does to-day. The myriade of happy faces, the noige of the modern noise machine, cannot be come too dense apon thie day to be any thing but pleasing to oar peop more load the noise the more earnestly is treasured the memory of its. origin, the more ioy we oonceive in the knowl edge that we are a free people— a com ponent part of the land of the free and the home of the brave, the most bappy and contented, as well as the most powerful and intellectual nation on the lace of God’s earth. SURVEYORS A T WORK FROM COLUMBIA FALLS TO JOCKO. Teton Fields Booming. The Swift Current Oil Company com menced drilling on the 23d inat., with their plant paid for and *lS0.- 000 ia the treasury. At the same time the price of stock was raised from 3 to 5 Mats per share. They .are sinking in 'the oil shale, near Bherburn# lake, *bont 3 miles down the river from Altyn. Great credit is doe Mr. Samuel Somers, who organised the company and , sold » k _ hock . c e is tho man ager of the company. If oil is struck at about the same depth as it was struck by the Calgary company, over a year ago, and _ by the Vancouver company about two weeks ago. Swift Current stock will be worth 60 cents a ebars by Thanksgiving, and thoee wbo own pro perty between Swift Current and the Little Kootenai on Belly river, will have som i very valuable property. The Vancouver Company started drill ing on the Little Kootenai, on the 10th of Jan. last, with au up-to-date plant. Jn March they placed another new ma-‘ chine in .poaition, and in May two more, and all four are now pounding away, with oil in the first kole, and the Cana dian Inspector is sent for to pass upon th e company’s application for a patent t» tbit section. The Calgary company have ordered a new plant, and are waiting for the high water to subside to haul it fu. Ik fa anticipated that the Montana Standard Oil Company, J. R. Hillman. President, will put in a drill on Belly river this summer, also the Holsna Land Syndicate and 'O il Company. Deputy State Examiner, F. H.

At W o r k on Both Ends o f the Route -R a ilroad will be Built to the Davis-Talbott Coal Fields on North Fork — The Final Deal Consum- The most interesting bit p f news has come to the notice of the Columbia Falls people for many a day-is gleandd from a telegram to the Great Falls Tri-, bone, under date of Jane 87tk, in which it is-annoanced that the Great Northern Railway Company have consummated deal with the Columbia Falla.Townsita people^ whereby a railroad is to be-built from this place to the vast coal fields of North Fork, some-twenty miles distant, in a north-westerly direction-1 from this place, and also giving an account of the operations of the Great Northern engi- gineera who sre now engaged in making- the surveys of the proposed north and sonth road from Colombia.Falls to Jocko as was stated in the previous issue of this paper. Preliminary surveys over -this entire route have been, made in the past, and the engineers. will meet with no difficulty in finding it tbe only prac ticable route. Thefollowing ie tbe tele gram as it appeared in the Tribune: “ M .A . Butler, engineer in charge of tbe construction work at this end of tbe Colombia Falls cut-off of tho.Great Northern, following instructions from the bead of hie department, has pleted the relocation of the west arm of Y at the Colombia Falls end of tbe cot off. Originally the west n *n extremely short oae. Tbe new line U almost a mile long and makes ths curve an easy one. It is understood that the line will be extended to a point short distance west of the Montana Soldiers’ home, on the north side of Flat- bead river. Another engineering corps will take np the survey which was made from Jocko to Holt last year, and con tinue on north to Colombia Falls. The action of engineers in commenc ing tbis work barf been expected for so anytime, as the rente has aever been ran.- Engineers of tbe Great Northern say that the rente south from this point is at least six miles shorter thait that from Kalispell via 8omers. It is stated that the Davis Talbot- Gaylordcompanies, which are largely control of the Townsita Company and the coal fields on the North Fork, k . to made a final deal with the railroad com- — •r wnvu — ------ -onstrnction of southern branch from this point. To gain this end the railroad has been, it is said, given a controlling interest in the coal fleldsand thatin the near future • line, north 18 miles, will be 'run into' them. Railroad construction is being anxiously watched by residents of the district, as it is feared that several towas and settlements will be materially damaged should the .present lines be One o f the dirtiest, nastiest, most\ con temptible, poorly printed, and most poorly edited, end scrawny, measly, mieetabie, rotteD.stinktng little country papers in the state of Montana, is the .Chotcau Montanian.

At Kalispell last Sunday tho Kalispell team defeated the Columbia Falls.team by a score ol 11-to 10. According to re ports it was one ol ths nicest games ever played in the county, and-WBS interest ing all around. Our boys hevo no' kick coming so they say, bat are willing to bet all kinds of menev thst they will win out at the retarn game on the Co lombia Falls diamond on the 12th of July. At present it is horse and horse, between the conteelanis, and the next throw will ha for the 3rd horse, and then we will know who the drinks ate The forgoing report is not vtrified, end is given for what it is worth. Bo far there is nothing on the records U show whether it Is true or false, but k far as the North and South road is con. corned facta carry out the report. A patent medicine advertisement is jnst now appearing in newspapers all over the world. The funny part of it li that the writer of the adVertisoment in hit testimonial as to the efficacy of the aforesaid patent remedy, eolemly asi that the ailment of which he was cured by using tbe remedy was contracted by using water. Those who know that edi tor will wonder whether be fell into a well head first or took the drink of water just to see how the stuff tasted. Judging from the murder of the king and queen of Bcrvia by revolutionary troops, the “ divinity that doth hedge a king ” isn’t half as safe a protector as the devil which hedges a print shop. Yon don’t hear of rebellious subjects killing off an editor very often. S ? . i ' e r c a n o i / e C o m p a n y Department Store in Flathead Co. •Ks F a l l s Montana M M (8.
