Special Correspondents OF the Standard
MissorLA, June 3-The University City
has been somewhat stirred up during tho
past week over what seems to be o fair
prospect Of securing the in,msnss plant Of
tho Parrot Smelling company. Il ID an
assured fact that the company has con-
cluded to remove its works from Butte
and is now looking for . suitable site upon
which to establish the same. There can bs
no question as to the adaptability of this
city as . suitable location for such an en-
terprise. Missoula 10 more centrally
located in respect to the various mining
districts than any other city OF conse.
Quence In the state. II 10 convenient too,
and In direct communication with the
Fiathead coal fields which arc, TO . largo

There 10 nowhere to be found such . mag

that afforded by tho rapid running Mis-
soula river, and this item In itself 10 Of the
most vital importance to such an enter.
prise. From standpoint of convenienee,
therefore, Il Is readily seen that Missoula
10 In no respect lacking. and Its citissns
are justified IN making strenuous efforts
to secure this prise.
The summer schedule of tho Northern
Pacific goes into effect tomorrow ~ mid
night and IL cannot be said that We are
particularly favored by the company In
It's new arrangement. Westbound, the
trains will arrive Mt this city at ! p. IN. and
2:25 a. m., and castbound nj 8 rs .. m. and
$50 p. IN. There will he no change In the
Bitter Root service. The local trains now
running between Helena and Wallace are

freight and passenger cars are to be put
on between this city aud Wallace. leaving
Missoula ut :i5 q. IN. and returning at
8 :1s p. IN. The local service with Helena,
Anaconda and Butte will be greatly
missed and there is much dissatisfaction
expressed at It's discontinuance.
The threatened open air concert by the
Garden City band, announced for tho
evening OF Memorial day. did not take
place, the "boys" having decided to post
pone their ''coming out" until the Fourth
OF July. This decision was o wise one.
There was nothing to be gained by rush.

condition and the additional practice to

most satisfactory showing on the national
birthday. Il 10 to be regretted that the
band treasury In without funds to pur-
chase suitable uniform for its men,bers.
Even n good band loses much OF its
attractivensss whom dscked out In an

Tho entertainment to be given shortly by

should be literally patrouised.
