SPOKANE FALLS, April 7.-Onc of the

the doors Of the cages. They had been
engaged i'm this work several
days keeping up loud noise
by singing and tramping around
so the sound of the saving could not be
piece out of the bar with which they pried
open hole large enough to admit all the
prisoners to the corridor. They then
called Guard Beard in to attend To lamp

prisoners was on the point Of Draining

After the escaped prisoners had gone for
an hour or more a prisoner confined i'm

MlSsoULA, Aprll II special. !
Spring has come. thetre are bud
ding, wild flowers are in bloom
and the green grass springing up
everywhere (excepting in the
streets). Plenty of snow in sight,
but it is many miles off on the tall
peaks of the Rockies, and serves
only as a cold reminder of the
past winter. Building operations
are in full blast, hundreds of men
and teams busy and earning good
wages. A visit to Missoula at the
present time. if you have no very
special ties elsewhere, will cause
you to settle down in this beauti-
full, enterprising and growing city.
Here you can make money and
enjoy good healthy living at the
same time.
The great natural resources of
Missoula county are being de-
veloped rapidly, and hundreds of
people from all parts of the United
States are immigrating to this
wonderful rich country. The city
of Missoula is peculiarly healthy,
having the advantages of a high
altitude, being 5000 feet above
sea level, and yet being sheltered
from the cold East winds and open
to the chinook winds of the Paci-
tic Coast, caused by the Japan
Ocean current. Vegetation luxu-
rates in such a climate; and we
have that grand combination, the
bracing air of the Rockies and the
comforts of an eastern locality.
Where is the man, woman or child
who does not long for the or
chards. gardens and lawns so nu-
merous in the East. Missoula is
noted for its many advantages,
but especially for its many COM
Portable homes.
" By investing in Missoula real
Estate at the present time you
will be sure to net profit of al
least 100 per cent. in the next Il
months. Mcconnell, Cook & Co
are sole agents for much of the
best property in Missoula, and Of
fer many bargains in all parts oI
the city; but we wish to especially
call your attention to the new
=. plat, McCormick's Addition No
?, lying a half mile west of the
business center of the city, which
addition is commonly known a.
the Garden and Orchard Add
ton" to Missoula; it receives tha'
name from the fact that the sol
is excellent and well adapted to
gardening, and there are hundreds
of thrifty and bearing fruit trees
growing on the lots. There is
great deal of satisfaction in hav
ing home, and instead of barrel
