probable that morning paper will soon be
again issued here. Harrison spaulding,
editor of the Missoulian, has settled his diff
ferences with the Typographical union. The
suspension Of the Morning Missoulian oc-
CURED some five or six months since, short
ly after the paper was declared unfair bv
the union. Notwithstanding the suspen-
sion of the paper Mr.. Spaulding continued
to hold the news franchises and the city
has been obliged to depend for the morning
news on Helena and Anaconda papers. The
train arriving here ut G:30 a. III. will be dis
continued Oct. s, after which time the Butte
and Anaconda publications will reach here
at one y. m. This will leave the field open
to Mr.. Spaulding. II is rumored that the
political complexion OF the paper will be
democratic. 1t has been matter of regret
to many enterprislng citizens that such
large and promising town should be com
pelled to depend for its morning news on
outside papers. -

| The settlement of the famous Thompson
| Falls townsite case decides one OF the most
important land questions that has attracted
attention in this county for years. lnvolv-
ing, as it did, the title to the homes Of all
those residents at the Falls. its decision in
favor of the townsite people will give that
thriving burg added stability and prosper
ity. One of the important points in con
nection with the case is that the deposi
tions of Marcus DAILY. Thomas Couch, ane
others, taken at Butte and Anaconda. ant
not at the regular hearing, which was hat
at Thompson Falls, were thrown out. thu
leaving the fireclay people very little tt
stand on.
The news that the Missoula ball team
had been beaten at Bozeman in three
straight games, was disappointment te
the many ball enthusiasts here who have
taken lively interest in the phenomena
success Of the Missoua team. The cir
cumstances of the games can, however, de-
tract nothing from the glory of the team
The fact that they made such good show
ing is much to their credit. OBrlen, th'
pitcher of the nine was unable to play q
all, having had his right hand crippled il
! 81 ba A
Co. nine on the previous Sunday. Camp
bell, who did the pitching, put up a Root
game but had had little practice this sum
mer, having been playing third base. Th
change also disturbed the positions Of tn
Missoula nine and resulted in poorer field
ing than would have otherwise been given
Two others of the nine were sick and una
BILE to do good work. At least five of tn
opposing team we're salaried players. Th
Motifs. who played all three games, re
csived $50 per game. Martin from Living
ston, Early from Butte and kell
Kelly, however, played only in tn
first game, being dissatisfied with hi
wages. Ross, the ''coal MINER" whose righ
name is said to be Gibbs, WAS also salarle'
man and professional from the east. Th
games we're not played for the champion
ship, nor were they of the championship
series, and the nine played against was no
composed of Bozeman players, and tn
AIissoulas are still unquestionably tn
amateur champions of the state. A numbe
of Missoula people who witnessed the gam
offered to back the Missoula team to tn
extent of $500 or 81 600 to play the picke'
nine. This was declined, as the Bozemal
people said they could not keep their min
together.
