Montana consisting of J. H. Durston,
editor of the Anaconda Standard; F.
S. Cooley, superintendent of farmers'
institutes; M. L. Dean, state horticul
turist; Mrs. C. E. Conrad of Kalispell,
and Mrs. Mitchell of rGeat Falls, have
been considering plans for the better
ment of rural conditions in the state,
and among the proposed measures is
the organization of rural interests in
farmers' clubs.
In many states the grange has
proved a very effective, profitable and
pleasant farmers' organization, and a
great factor in rural advancement.
Farmers' clubs would be helpful in
every farm community in Montana.
By their means farmers and their
families could get together at stated
times during the slack season, enjoy
social intercourse, discuss plans and
methods for the coming seasons' work,
receive information from the outside,
read papers, or enjoy a program of
music or fun, partake of refreshments
together, and brighten and enlarge the
life of every member of the eommun

your neighborhood this fall? Even

APPROXIMATE ESTIMATE
OF FOREST FIRE LOSSES
Missoula, Oct. 21.—The forestry ser
vice has had a' force of men at work
since the fire swept over this section
of Montana and Idaho attempting to
estimate the loss that was caused by
the conflagration. While the exact
loss caused by the flames will never
be estimated, still a very compre
hensive idea of the damage can be
gained. The following figures have
been compiled under the direction of
the different forest supervisors, and
are reasonably correct:
Acres burned over, 1 226,505; tim
ber killed in district 6,131,880 feet;
cost of temporary labor and supplies,
$620,244.28; cost of regular employes,
$67,054.84; lives lost, 79.

liams made his catch at Kootenai falls,
about 12 miles below town. F. H.
Kiser, official photographer for the
Great Northern railway, was in town
at the time with his special car and
took a picture of the fish to add to the
collection of Kootenai valley views

The falls of the Kootenai near here
represent the head of navigation for
the sturgeon—for the big fish do not
seem to be able to get above this place.
