NEW ROADS
IN PARK
President L. W. Hill of the Great
Northern passed thru here last
Thursday on his way west after
taking a week's tour thru the pro
posed Glacier park region.
Mr. Hill contemplates inaugurat
ing a transportation company, in
connection with the Great North
ern thru the proposed park, on the
same lines that the Northern Pacific
has in Yellowstone park.
During the past two weeks Mr.
Mill has gone over the proposed
route on pack horses with his party
and Thos. Dawson, Dan Doody and
Chas. Buckley as guides.
The present plans are for build
ing a large hotel at Midvale and
from there tourists can take a stage
or automobile, whichever is adopt
ed, north to St. Marys Lake then
over the divide at Gunsight pass
into the Lake McDonald region anil
back to the railroad again at Beiton
where another large hotel will be
built.
This route will take in all the
glaciers and points of interest, in
this famous region. Hotels and
road houses will be established all
along the route so that tourists can
he accommodated at any of the
places where they wish to stop.
Mr. Hill made a special visit to
Kalispell to interview Superintend
Haines of the Blackfeet forest, with
reference to securing the co-oper
ation of the forestry department in
making some of the points of inter
est in the proposed Glacier Park
more accessible to tourists.
The official photographer of the
G. N. is up in that region taking
pictures of the different places which
will be used in pamphlets, for ad
vertising purposes as they are plan
ning on an extensive and persis
tant advertising campaign to in
duce tourist travel to the region
about Lake McDonald and the
country beyond, which contains
some of the most beautiful scenry,
the likes of which cannot be found
any where within the borders of the
state.
It is being expected that the
Glacier park bill, which was killed
at the last session of Congress, will
be passed this year, and it looks as
if it will without a doubt from the
way the Great Northern is trying
to force itself into this region.
BASEBALL MEETING.
A business meeting of the base
ball fans was held in Matthew's hall
Monday evening to hear the report
of the committee which has been so
liciting the town for the past two
weeks with a view to finding out
if money enough could he raised to
form a stock company.
The committee reported that in
the short time they had about $600
signed up on the roll, so that there
is no doubt but what $1,000 or
more can be raised without much
effort.
The report of the committee was
accepted, temporary officers were
elected, and proceedings were start
ed to formulate a stock company.
The following officers were elected
temporarily until the company is
formed, when the stockholders will
elect permanent officers:
President— H. T. Mayfield.

thing prepared so that the company
can be incorporated at the next
meeting, which will l e held sub
ject to the call of the chairman of
the by-law committee.

CHEWED BY
A DRIZZLY
Wm. Green of Bolton had a very
exciting encounter with a grizzly
hear last Friday that he will not
forget for some time.
Green and Sam Brock, a well
known railroad man of this place,
were hunting for big game in the
Big Horn Basin 25 miles north of
Midvale. It had come noon time
and they stopped to rest on the side
of a mountain in a huckleberiy
patch. Green stopped to eat some
huckleberries while Brock went
ahead about 200 feet to prepare
camp. While Green was alone
there, two huge grizzly hears came
out of the brush with out any
warning and made straight for him.
They probably had cubs near, other
wise a bear seldom attacks a man.
Green shot at one of the bears with
out raising his gun to his shoulder,
and wounded him so badly he drop
ped and started squealing terribly.
Before he could get a shot at the
other one it was on him and began
chewing his arms and legs.
The squealing of the wounded
bear attracted the other's attention
and it went over to it which gave
Green a chance to get away. He
ran toward Brock who could not
hear Green's cries for help on
account of the wounded hear mak
ing so much noise and was standing
there waiting for another hear to
show up.
The bear seeing Green run away,
followed after him, an l when begot
where Brock could see what was
going on it was impossible fo rhim to
get a shot at the bear because Green
was right in front of it and he
could not shoot without hitting
Green. The bear caught Green once
more with a terrible blow with his
paw and knocked him over a cliff
and then followed and was about
to chew him again.
Brock did not dare shoot for fear
he would kill Green, so he shot in
the air and yelled as much like a
bear as he could to attract its at
tention. This was effective and it
made right for Brock as fast as it
could run, hut Brock was ready for
it and a well aimed shot dropped it
in its tracks.
Brock then gave his attention to
his wounded partner and bound up
his wounds as best he could and
carried him three miies to camp
and then left him there and went
to a neighboring camp two miles
farther where he secured the assis
tance of 0. Cobb, John Highmark
and H. L, Hammond, of Kalispell
and H. Dawson, of Midvale, who
helped carry Green eight miles on
an improvised litter to the U. S.
reclamation camp in charge of C.
D. Shaver, who did all he could
for the injured man.
Green was taken from the last
camp to Midvale by wagon where
he was put on No. 3 and brought
to Whitefish where he was put. in
the hospital.
His whole body is terribly chewed
and lacerated by the bear's teeth
and claws. There arc 30 big tcetli
marks on his side and both his legs
and arms arc badly torn. The
bear took a hold of him and shook
him like a dog would a rat, so it's a
wonder that he had any flesh left.
The heavy clothing he wore is prob
ably what saved his life.
It is expected that he will recover
alright, but his wounds are large
and painful and it will he some time
before he can get around again.
Brock returned again last Sun
day to get the bear skins, and two
mountain goats they had killed the
day before.

BALL GAME
On account of arrangements not
being completed until Saturday af
ternoon, there was no chance to
make the fact known that there
was to he a hall game between Kal
ispell and Whitefish, so but very
few knew that there was anything
going on until about 5 o'clock Sun
day afternoon, when a telephone
message announced that Whitefish
had shut out Kalispell on their own
grounds. .
The news spread over the town
like wild lire and there was a large
crowd of fans who awaited the ar
rival of the players on the late
train, when they were wined and
dined to the best in the town.
The hoys went to Kulispeli on
No. 4, and only a handful of fans
accompanied them, hut they had
things their own way. The excite
ment was intense, and at times you
could hear a pin drop, and then
again a cannon could not lie heard
if it was exploded in their midst.
It was mostly a pitcher's battle
all the way through. Goins and
Taylor were the opposing pitchers,
and both were at their best. Tay
lor struck out II men, and allowed
but three hits, while Goins struck
out 8, with hut three hits against
him.
The peculiar part of the thing
was that all the hits were made by
the batteries of the two teams. For
Kalispell, Taylor got one hit and
Sorenson two, while for Whitefish,
Goins got one and Barbour two.
It was a lively game from start
to finish, and free from wrangling.
Ben Young, a Spokane man, um
pired the game to the satisfaction
of all and there was only one oc
casion in the ninth inning when
there was any dispute about his de
cisions.
Goins made the only run that
was made, and Marten got in at
the same time, hut they made him
go back on account of a ground rule
which the Kalispell team has re
garding passed halls.
In the ninth inning Barbour
sprained his ankle in sliding to
first, hut in spite of the intense
pain he continued the game and is
now hobbling around on a pair of
crutches.
All the fans who saw the game
say it was the best game that has
been played this season, and if the
weather is favorable there will ho
another game Sunday on the White
fish grounds.
BANQUET FOR
BASEBALL TEAM
To show their appreciation to the
hall team for the excellent game
they put up in Kalispell Sunday,
J. E. Cavanaugh and II. T. Senay
gave a banquet at the Hori cafe
Sunday night after the team ar
rived from Kalispell.
All the players of the team were
present, besides a number of fans
who were at the game. After a
most excellent supper consisting of
fried chicken, fruits, salads and the
necessary trimmings had been
stowed away, II. T. Mayfield acted
as toastmaster, and everyone pres
ent was given a chance to respond
and express himself, which was all
praise for the ball boys and hopes
that we can stick together and have
as good a team next year.
The game was played over sev
eral times liefore they left the table
and a vote of thanks was extended
to both Mr, Cavanaugh and Mr,
Senay for being sqch royal hosts,
Begining on October 23, 1901),
