trable haze that hung over the country

fires prevailing In the surrounding country.

John Robinson's Circus has changed its
original route, and is coming back east over
the Northern Pacific. 1t will be in Missoula
Sept. 10Th. We can say to our contempora-
ries on the N. p. hne that the John Robinson

permitted with the show. 1t is in striking
