MissorLA. Oct. 2e.-Judge Woody will

for Ravalli county and one for Missoula

definite idea - TO the identity Of the ap-
pointees. It IL believed, however. that
Mr.. Harlan Of Hamilton will receive tho
appointment for Ravalli county and that
Mr.. Kline will succsed himself here.
These gentlemen arc not of the Same po-
litical faith as Judge Woody, but the
Judge has established . reputation for
doing what seems TO him best for the
county without regard to politics. and Mr..
Kline has demonstrated his ability as an
economical administrator OF the eounty's
