We are indebted to our esteemed Missoula
correspondent, Alvin Lent, for q graphic de-
scription of the Missoua fire. The letter ar
irving after our type was nearly all up, and

day of the fire, we reluctantly have to omit
1t.

married lady Of Deer Lodge of the handsom-
est and most artistically arranged bouquet of
fine flowers he has seen in Montana. The

family and was skipping out for Sweden with

If the tunko sharps had gotten it all.
Our farmers think 1t is pretty hard times
when them they get only 90 cents a bushel
for wheat, but that product is now selling in

it costs over SO cents per bushel to
raise wheat in Washington Territory where
the average product is Is bushels per acre.
Freight from Walla Walla to Portland is q
cents per bushel, with an additional expense
OF about cents bushel for sacks, drayage,
etc. The Wala Walla Union
makes its patrons the liberal offer of allowing
30 cents per bushel on subscriptions.
The visitor, dropping into the beautiful
town of Deer Lodge, will be surprised at the
number Of churches in that place. The EeD
North West. a sort of semi-religious newspa-
per, has been instrumental in having these
edifces for worship erected, and the editor
of that pious journal Is deserving of the
thanks Of Christians for the energy he has
display ed in helping to build places of wor-
ship.-D alon Tribune.
There is the favor of disappointment in
the above. Wilson said to us "When I

"every corner and school house in the mid
idle Of each block" He staid till the next
train.
