Hfchca been-gently hinted that tho I ia beiftg etodied well by tome of the Columbia Falla people, look oot for the expose. Was yOa ever given the doubfe cross? This qaeation a u Baked by a in an in from aouth of town. Don’ t believe wo ever heard of that word before. There are three weddings at Colombia Fail it booked for the holidays of the com- j 2nt DBcbmter. If all other aigna do fail ttna ir surety an indication of a hard ♦inter. Then n who baa no home generally it one. He ia Urging towards t B t i» pretty sure to reach tfifere at laat. There ia one instrument that tro wo man baa ever learned to play on success fully and that ia a second fiddle. That may be the reason why there aie to gaany widowers in Columbia Falla. Accotding to a recent proea dispatch- ♦resident Roosevelt weighs 196 pounds.- Fhie information ia given out for the benefit of those who wish to gaesa the ♦eight of dor neat president. tine day out of each week has been set aside as a day of reel for man i and therefore it ia not just the proper thing to perslatently violate that sacred rule by hunting on the Sabbath.' Give tbs birds a chance to rest on Sunday and there Will be better hunting on week days. Every problem the decision of which is of vital importance to the government of bnt one of two answers. Either it ie or ia not expedient. This of opposition and Support is the natural basis of parties and the solidity of their opposition to each other ia eminently practical and suits the ax age politician. Bnt the rfueation whether we have not arrived at a stage when our politics must become - more theoretical; when ike must trust politics less to the men who say that they can; when we mnst pay more attention to the thoughtful minorities and tet d o poss ible combinations in' politics and less to ttae~ipie~tlTXtt~of this or that political machine which ties class bands and en riches itsself from year to year with all the official pap' whieh it Cafl command. The American nation is in no dangor of growing impmctical or visionary. They go for the quickest answer to a question ; for that Which gives them something lefinite to lay hold of. If you tell the tverage business man that there can be but two political parties in a country, alter all, Ate is very apt to coincide with because more than two parties seem to complicate things ahd make too much political litter. If Wff regard the official time and trouble nominations involve, the hiring of bands aod speakers, the printing of orts of campaign literature but admit that two parties are a company and that three would be a There are many questions in both (he republican and democrat part ies to generals discussionanddiseonsion. The parties are not nnited. This is shown clearly enough in the difficulty of selecting available presidential candi dates from even among tho most eminent men of the ranks. The centrifugal tend ency of party elements is shown in ffihnv ways so constantly and sometimes with manifestations of such extreme bitter- tbat one cannot bat admit that an infraction of party policy oarusy one set of lines involves an amount of self re pression that must at all times keep the tension critical. Men are naturally divided into partisans and independents. A great many men vote for certain nom inees without having gone near a caucus or without taking much if any interest in the pre-campaign movements, because rh men or sneb policy most nearly meet their approval. The practical in ference is that the power of cliques and ndepentent organizations, under com petent leadership ia very great and that one will have to watch them more and more both in our state politics and county and naffon. That President Roosevelt will f* the ♦■publican candidate for president next year is beyond doubt and the hope of the democracy is that Richard Olney or Judga Gray, of Delaware will be their etandartkbiarers. When tbe trusts get between Roosevelt and Olney they will be between tbe devil and the deep sea. Much comphunt has been made due- fogWHw week concerning the fact that a bunch of the feative swine ere running at large about the city and doing st damage to lawna and gardens. It is known who owns the pesky animals but when it is brought to his attention that they are a menace to the happii -peace and contentment of hta neighbors he will in all probability proceed im mediately to start a pork factory. ^he fteveilferof Butte ie still at it in its able and fearless manner. Lite the Irahmen who Just came from the “ old dart’ * and meeting an American right at the end of the steamer gangway, aaid: “ And have yoa a givern- m iat?\ “ Why, vea,\ said the citizen. \Then Oim aginet it,” aaid Pat. And so it ia with the BeveiKe, not, however, an tbe proposition of government but ♦garde a great many tilings political and non political in this beloved' state.

CTerlf ST-snklyn Lbvtf'har completed the school census lor this district and the totals greatly exceed those of last year which allows a degree of prosperity that is commendable and wholesome. U rn census shows there to be 379 child- rail o fkbool age in the district and 8fl children odder school age. Tbe girls Wisher 812 aod tbe boys 163 which hbdwe that tha female population greatly in tbe majsrity heie as well as th most every other section of the United fftatea. The laat year’ s census lists for this district only show a total of 263 children in tho district, therefore tbe increase in the juvenile popnletion of GJlnfobi* Falls in on* year ie 103 child- ffio. Hie iieta also ebow but 86children flhdsr six years of sge and from this it can be computed that the big ft not altogether a home product and al to shows that the town and district is jo y i n g a healthy growth and that our latkm is substantially increasing. f t .

We are glad to know that the number of parents and school trustee that appreciate the re quirements of a truely good education is growing from year to year. And, last of all, the number of teachers that feel the divinity ofcbeiy calling and who are will ing to forego more lucerative or less try ing occupations for the sake of devoting their lives to this, is rapidly swelling, thanks to the liberality of the people and to the influence of Normal schools.

These officers will, or one of them, will arrive at Columbia Falls sometime dar ing tbe coming week end will immediktly look over the surveys north of this place. After this work is complete there is little douba bat tbst tbe acceptance will be complete and then after 39’ days notise of (heir acceptance the lands will be open Trade At Home. There seems to be a tendeocey residents of this locality to spend money different towns, other than Columbia Falls. People if they Work, can soon find out that our home merchantrcarry as fine and as large a stock as any of our rivals and at prices mach lower, for they bare not the expenses to contend with in Urge rents, clerk hire, light and water, and have the same, if not better freight rates. There is a reciprocal bene fit in giving the home merchant your trade. It bis sales aie greater he make tbe margis of profit U closer. Local competition will require tiu make it close, especially if sales are brisk, and the influx-of trade-greater. With better support he can keep a better stock. The value of your real estate will greatly enhanced by building up home merchants instead of paying towards the high rents of those of a rival place. Co-opq ration is the watch word of busi ness to-day. Strengthen the town giving its merchants all of your trade. Let the profession, and workman asai in this move to build up this city and there will be a boom such as this vicinity has never before experienced. Thomas Kidd, vice-president of the American Federation of Labor, has made the threat that organized capital through itS'wnti-boycotte and employers as stions must stop their radea on the ings of tbe trades unions or the anion men would withdrew $300,000,000 from the banks.
