Chamber of commerce meeting
next Tuesday night.
Montana will lead all other
states in growth and develop
ment this year.
The railroad rumors are here
again, and they look consider
ably better than usual in their
new spring dresses.
Flathead county has enough
lakes, if properly stocked, to make
the fishing industry one of large
commercial importance.
Even the most notorious kicker
and bellyacher in the town ought
to be interested in the organiza
tion of a chamber of commerce.

tains that weather bureau at
Havre as a sort of ' 'horrible ex

Whitefish, the town with the
big pay roll, will be heard from
frequently during the present
year in the way of growth and
prosperity.
Now that the movement is
under way for the organization
of a chamber of commerce, the
citizens of Whitefish have an op
portunity to show their mettle.
Are you a booster or a buster?
People in Whitefish do not as
yet appreciate the value of the
surrounding land, and it can be
bought, in many cases, at a very
low price. A few more years of
development, however, will work
a great change.
Before the water works system
was installed in Whitefish it was
said that a steam laundry would
pay if water was handier. The
water is now here, but still no
laundry, although everybody rec
ognizes that such an institution
would pay well.
Every land owner in the vicini
ty of Whitefish should set out
some fruit trees this coming
spring. They will bring better
returns upon the investment than
anything else. There is a large
variety of fruit to select from
which is adapted to the soil and
climate of this locality.
There are evidences that an
active demand for real estate
will prevail in Whitefish during
the spring and summer, and it
is probable that a great deal of
property will change hands.
There is considerable inquiry for
investments in this line at the
present time.

COME ON IN; THE WATER S FINE
A RE you looking for a place in which to make your
^ home, where there are more opportunities than
in the older settled communities? If you are, investigate
Whitefish.
Here is a town in a country that is undeveloped, al
though there are immense natural resources. Five years
ago the country in this vicinity was practically a wilder
ness. It has advanced rapidly since that time, but de
velopment has practically just started.
There are many opportunities in a new town which
cannot be found in the older ones. Development is more
rapid. You are not looked upon with suspicion for years
after you locate. You soon acquire standing in the com
munity. Business changes arid real estate transfers are
constantly being made, and things are moving all the
time.
Investigate the advantages of Whitefish. As a basis
from which to build the town has large railroad and lum
bering pay rolls. It is located upon a lake, the scenic
beauty of which is not surpassed anywhere, and which is I
certain to become widely known as a resort. An ideal i
place in which to live, unless you consider the newness of !
the town and country a drawback. The town is incor
porated, and has water works, electric lights and tele
phones.
Thousands of acres of land, mostly timbered, sur
rounds the town, but which as yet is almost wholly unde
veloped. The soil and climate are adapted to the raising
of all fruits and farm products grown in the northwest. !
A good market for all that can be produced. Land is in-1
creasing in value every year, and the increase will be more
rapid from now on.
Come on in; the water's fine. Get hold of some prop-!
erty and grow up with the country, at the same time 1
growing into wealth and affluence.
ATTEND THE MEETING
E VERY business man and property owner of Whitefish
should be present next Tuesday night at the
council rooms, when a chamber of commerce will be or- j
ganized, provided the proposition which the committee!
has to submit meets with approval.
A chamber of commerce is something in which ev- '
ery citizen with property in the town should be interested.
That such an organization, properly conducted, could ac- ;
complish much good, there is no doubt. The organization
as planned will be for the town as a whole, and will not
represent the interests of any particular clique or faction.
It is a proposition upon which our business men and citi
zens can get together and work in harmony, and they
should do so.
To accomplish as much as possible, the organization
should have a secretary who could give considerable time
to the work, and who should be paid for his time. To
meet this and other necessary expenses, a good plan would
be for the members to pay monthly dues. These matters,
however, and the scope and character of the work, can be
decided upon by the members. The main thing at present
is to get the organization started.
A line of work which such an organization could prop
erly take up would be the securing of settlers for the
stump lands adjacent to Whitefish. With this end in
view, a list of these lands which are for sale could be se
cured, and prospective settlers could be directed to the
owners.
The matter of securing new business industries for
which there is room could also be expeditiously handled,
and a great deal might be accomplished in this line.
The organization, if it desired, could aid in the de
velopment of Whitefish lake as a resort, could attend to
having our lakes and streams stocked with fish, and han
dle innumerable other propositions as they may come up.
head county democratic news
papers and politicians during the
late campaign, it would be inter
esting to hear their opinions now.
By the way, what newspaper
was it that asked, "What will
become of the timber investiga
tion if Hutchinson and Donlan
are elected?"
With the Burlington trains
bringing many additional people
into this section of the country
during the coming summer, the
attractions of Whitefish lake as a
resort should be made the most
of. The new service will be of
great advantage to the lake re
sort, and will open up greater
possibilities of development.
It has been suggested that the
Whitefish chamber of commerce,
when organized, have a huge
signboard painted and placed at
the Columbia Falls junction,
reading, "Only eight miles to
Whitefish; stay on the train."
a
Of course, this is not to be taken
seriously.
Whitefish ought to have a gym
nasium, either run for profit by
some person, or through a club
organized for that especial pur
pose. That there is a generally
felt need among the younger
men of the town for such a place
is plainly evident, and they
would give any movement in this
direction their enthusiastic sup
port.
The arrival of a crew of Great
Northern railroad surveyors in
Kaiispell to work on a north and
south railroad connection between
the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific has again given rise to
the hope that this long-talked-of
road may be built soon. This is
a piece of work that has long
been under consideration, and
there is reason to believe, in
view of the opening of the reser
vation, that it will be done this
year. The new line would mean
a great deal in the development
of Flathead county, and its con
struction would be particularly
timely this year. Just what it
would mean to Whitefish is un
certain, but it has always been
the talk that when the line was
built the junction with the Great
Northern would be made here.
Flathead county seems to have
a third house member in the leg
islature who is cutting quite a
swath. What's the use of going
to all the trouble and expense of
getting elected to the legislature,
anyhow? It's easier to get your
friend and partner elected as
speaker, and thus be in a position !
to tell him where to ''head in." ,
As showing the way land is ad
vancing in price in the vicinity
of Whitefish, we have in mind a
tract of 40 acres which sold for
$400 two years ago. A year later
the same land changed hands
again, the price being $1,000.
The owner now values the land
at $2,000, and is not anxious to
sell even at that figure. This
land, however, is quite near the
town.
It is reasonable to suppose that
before many years a branch rail
road will be built along the north
fork of the Flathead river, in
Flathead county, and thence into
the British possessions, and the
fact that various railroad inter
ests are seeking charters from
the Canadian government to
build through this country shows
that it is looked upon as a prob
able desirable move for the fu
ture. It hardly seems probable,
however, that any construction
work will be done upon such a
line in the immediate future,
but with the rapid development
that this section of the country
is undergoing the time may not
be far distant when the road will
be built.
Church and Clergy.

organizations in forty-one of the states
with 1,154 churches, an increase of fif
ty ^-eight over the last report.

The official statistics of the strength
of Congregationalism, so far as they
can be ascertained, show that there are
12,801 churches, chapels and stations
throughout the world, with a church
membership of 1.433,000, and 1,074,854
scholars In the Sunday schools.
