R. Grant, also formerly of Whitefish. Miss Davis is the youngest daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W.

Miss Davis went to Spokane Mon day on one of t ie eki.vcd trains, accompanied- by her mother and sister. VALUATION INCREASED After an investigation it has been found that the valuation of the , town has increased s > that it can bé bonded for $15,000 more, which will be sufficient t » build a trunk sewer through the main streets, and then later on, the parts of the town needing a sewer can be di vided into improvement districts, and branches can be extended any place where the situation demands it. A sewer system is absolutely necessary to enhance its progress and growth, so it should be one of the duties of the city council to see hat this work is carried into effect as soon as possible.

PUBLISHED E\ERY THURSDAY. Entered as second class matter February 18. 1904, at the postolfice at Whitefish. Mont., wider the act of Congress of March 3, 1879. HON. E. M. HUTCHINSON FOR THE SENATE We take pleasure in this issue of The Pilot in announcing the candidacy of the Hon. E. M. Hutchinson for the nomination for state senator on the Repub lican ticket. Mr. Hutchinson's record as a member of the elev enth legislative assembly, we think, makes him the logical candidate for the position to which he aspires. His numerous admirers, not only in Whitefish but thruout the length and breadth of Flathead county, have urged him to come out for the nomination and we are of the opinion that he is the right man for the place. No question can arrive as to his qualifications or fitness for the position nor to his fidelity to the sacred trust his election would repose in him. Mr. Hutchinson's standing in his community is of the highest and all those acquainted with his every day life will vouch for his integrity. The Pilot believes that, in con sideration of past services, all well-meaning citizens of Flat head county will rejoice in the opportunity of doing something for a man whose past records are all on the side of right and jus tice. Someone must receive this nomination and certainly no man in Flathead county deserves the honor more than Mr. Hutchin son. His nomination should be unanimous and his election al most the same. It takes live men to make a town. Dead men are only fit to inhabit cemeteries. If they are really decidedly dead all over, we tenderly lay them away in the sleep of the tomb; if they are dead to all enterprise and spirit, outside the narrow lines of there own selfish interest and yet persist in walking around, moving their caloused hearts and conscience where real busi ness is wanted to push and throb with vigor, they are only like the drone bees, in the way until they are stung to death and dragged outside the hive of leg itimate industry. Twelve really live men are worth more to a town generally than a round thousand of such useless ma terial that lays around like rub bish in a rushing stream that is aching and foaming to run mills and factories. Live men bless and dead men curse a town. Let us hope that there is no use less material lying about White fish. We have come to that stage now when we need all the live material that can be gath ered together to get things start ed off with a whirl. You can show that you are a live one by attending the Chamber of Com merce .meeting Tuesday night. At this meeting it is desired to have every merchant in the town in attendance. I Coming Events \ Don't forget the date of the Cham E'er of Commerce meeting on Tuesday evening February 1. The Woodman of the Work! will give their second anrtual ball on St. Valentines day. February 11. On Washington's birthday, Feb ruary 22, the Whitefish Volunteer Fire department will give their an nual ball which is expected will he a masquerade. - ■■■The Ladies' Aid Society of the Methodist church will meet at the parsonage Wednesday, Feb. 2,1b 10. All members are requested to he present. There will he a regular meeting of the Whitefish Chamber of Com merce on Tuesday evening, Feh. 1, at which everyone is requested to attend. It is desired to have a full attendance of all the merchants. The number of fake advertis ing grafts which are being work ed sometimes make it hard for a man with a legitimate and bene ficial proposition to obtain a hear ing. The country is full of men who make a living by traveling from town to town and working various alleged advertising schemes. It has been demon strated time and again that the safest and surest way to adver tise and the way in which you will get the best results with the local people is with the local papers. Likewise with job work and commercial printing. You know and can see what you are getting and you are permitted to make any changes, alterations or additions which you may desire. Local newspapers are always boosting for the home product and home trade and are doing more than any other one factor in advertising the resources of the place and worthy and de serving of the support of all the people all the time. —Stevensvillc Register. "The east is Montana mad," said James T. Stanford, who has just returned to Great Falls from a two month's eastern trip to Chicago and other eastern cities. Montana is the best advertised state in the union, and the people here do not dream of the magni tude of the rush that will set in with the coming spring. Thous ands upon thousands are headed this way. The hunger to pos ses a piece of land upon which can be grown the food-stuffs that at present command such enormous prices is universal. Don't forget to take out your fishing license before you go plunking. No one can afford to pay $25 a piece for them. A license costs only $1. EXQUISITE FLAT HEAD SCENERY E. L. Geddea has on exhibition in his new office a group of Flat head pictures, taken by Kiser, the official photographer of the Great Northern, that surpasses anything that was ever seen in that line. The pictures are genuine photographs, tinted with natural colors, and show the most exquisite workman ship. Everyone who sees them is sure to and be facinated will want to become the possessor of at least the picture of Lake McDonald which is the most beautiful picture that was ever taken. The public is invited to come and have a look at them and anyone who appreciates pretty pictures, especially when it is local scenery, should not miss this op portunity. They will be on ex hibition for three days and anyone desiring to possess any of them can do so by ordering thru Mr. Geddes. You will want some "500" scor cards for your card party.
