GET TIMBER -CLAIMS HOW. Vast areas of the finest timbered lands fonnd in very years the large tracts of timber in the United fitaUja will bo p thing of .the past. Intending owners should also re member tha\ there will be made a deter mined effort to abolish the timberland act and the indications are strong that the efforts will be successful. Powerful interests are working to that end, and active allies will be found in those states wfeich . wars flood swept this.year, the disasters of which are largely attributed to the destruction of the forests aloDg the headwaters of the big streams. ■With these facta in mind there is little time to be lbst in aoqotri’hg limber lands which is ye$ eligible to entry antLbwn- ersbip by private individuals. This kind of property cannot help hut in crease in value. It is the within investment of a whole lifetime for the people of this country open right now and there is no time to loose. the Soout. Continuing, the skirmish for the Co- lumMAn, th3 Scout struck the trail again near Elk park, and found A. B. Lewis and E. M. Wade clearing land whereon to build a bouse.

The wheat crop was Dover better in Ffcthead valley than it is at the present time and the per cent of damaged grain Isiexceedingly small. Farmers arq gen erally holding their grain at a dollar a boshel and the price is very likelv to reach that neighborhood. It will no doubt be noted that Uncle Sam has lately loaned the banks throughout the country a sufficient aum of ready money to gnard againat the possibility of a mon ey stringency. This. fact has been gon- eaally condemned b y : the democrats, party pitas throughout- the laud, went*seem to us that those who kick against the wise and judicious distribu- ’ tioo of money among the people would wish for a return of the panic stricken times of 1891 to 1893. Just snch a pan ic could be agaiW repeated by- the bines now in manipulation were it not for the good guidance of wise counsel at.the nation’s helm. That farming pays in the Flathead is certain. .Too many young farmers fool themselves into the idea that everything it,lovely and comes easy in the town or city. No greater mistake could be made by young farmers than to flock to the httstling cold hearted business centers I* search 0 $ (employment. Wages are poor, friends are scarce and the very air is: sa to rated with pciaa*. In the city th i n is no freedom to be compared to casantry life. Hundreds of poor clerks and other employees in the city are look ing forward to the time when they anight be owners and workers of a small farm and get away from the undesirable features of city life. Why do they do it? Because- they have had a ta* the city., witb>H'it* draw backs, etony- beartedness, and cramped quarter«;-ood they long for freedom, like a prison con vict.

Head rents 80 acres, joining Mr. Eckel- bery’s farm. Mr. Head was absent from home. We found many of the people in this vicinity attending the burial service of the wife of Mr. Ed. Thompson, one of their neighbors. The funeral was onder the auspices of the Yeoman Lodge. Religions services con ducted by the Rev. Fisher, Presbyterian minister from KalispelL Besides her husband-the dead wife leaves three small children to mourn her loss. Our nsxkhalt was at the farm of J. I. Stewart, another old veteran. A large- comfortable house is one of the orna ments of bis 160 acres of land, all of which is under cultivation. Mrs. Stewart piloted me through their orchard, 40 trees of which were bending to the ground with apples. The early yellow Transparent and Duchess, a fail apple, are especially conspicuous for rise, color and flavor Mr. S. has four children, two small odbs at home, and two daugh ters married, Mrs. M. T. Small and Mrs. J. E. Skylt-s, Mr. 8krlee Is postmaster .St Whitefish, Here we met Mr. W. H. Myers, who lives on an 80 acre farm near Deer Park. All his lond under cultivation 16 acres oats; and 8 of wheat will give average yield. Timothy ant) oat hay excellent; orchard of 100 trees, 4 children, all mar ried.

Mr. E. is greatly interested in stock raising^having some 60 head of cows of (h£ Polled Durham breed.

Mr. E. is a young man yet is,considered an old timer, having livedi)iere 16 years, with his young wife and three bright children, it looks like prosperous times ahead for him.
