WoMBN's sTRBET-0AR ETIQUETTE
a Great Many Things That lad Better
be Left Undone.

There is law in most communities
that requires street cars to stop on the up
per side OF the crossing in the direction
they are going. But no woman is eX-
pected TO respect is-oonsequently stand
on the wrong corner and signal the car TO
stop, writes A. 5. Fergus in the L0dieS'
Home JOUrndt You may tempt the
driver to stop for you and run the risk
of the law. If 1t passes you, you can
glare at the conductor. who. of course,
will stop for you on the other side and
beckon you to come over. Turn on your
heel and treat him with scorn. Wait for
the next car and walk down the block a
little and stop it before it comes to the
corner.
Always stop a car in the middle of the
street, especially if it is in full speed. Do
not go to the crossings where the cars are
expected to stop and are willing to do 1t.
by stopping them at different points of
the road you retard their progress and
give the driver a chance to rest Just as
a car starts. suddenly make up your mind
you want TO get on it. The driver will
enjoy coming to standstill again. The
conductor always enjoys this.

BENEATH BLANKETS OF SNOW.
Western Montana L, Looking Very Well
Nevertheless.
MIssoULA, Feb. 21.-Despite the week OF
warm weather which has loOsened tho
grip of the frost king, the fertile valleys OF
Western Montana are still buried deep
beneath their blanket OF snow. which IN
sures plenty of moisture FOR the spring.
The lower Deer Lodge valley IS covered
with about a foot of snow on the level
and the depth increases west OF Garrison.
Along the He'll Gate river, from Bear
mouth west, and in the mountains on
both sides of the river, there is more snow
than has fallen in any winter for long
time, with the possible eception OF last
season. The Missoula and lower Bitter
Root valleys are also we'll covered and
ranchmen predict good agricultural sea-
son this year.
Stock is looking fine in all sections OF
Western Montana, there having been an
abundance of hay for feeding, wherever
feeding was necessary. Tho half-breed
farmers on the reservation have this sea-
son wintered an unusually large number
of cattle and all of them, 1t is said, are IN
prime condition. Up the Bitter Root
range stock has Jared well, as 1t always
does. the sheltered bench lands and ra-
vines affording excellent feeding ground.
All along the Northern Pacific west OF
Garrison are huge piles of wood that have
been hauled in from the timber while tho
snow has been on the ground. This wood
has been cut principally by men who we're
out of work and who have adopted this
means of keeping the pot boiling. In
MissouIa, some thrifty men have hauled
from tho island below the electric light
works tho driftwood and logs that lodged
there during the floods last spring, and
have cut it up into cord wood. Over in
South Missoula more than 100 cords are
piled up at various places.
1t is stated that the cut of the big lum'
Der companies has been larger than
usual this season, and that there will be
n big run at the mills next summer. The
timber is full of men who are in the en-
ploy of these companies, and merchants
are looking forward to n rush of business
when the logging season ends.
On tho whole, this winter has been one
of the best that this section has ever
known. The approaching spring finds
Western Montana in excellent shape and
the summer promises to be ono of general
prosperity.

He ROLLED OVER DEAD
George FiCklin'S Soul Passed Away Ia
a MiSSOula Saloon.
DEATH DIDN'T STOP THE FUN
The Plano Player Laid the Corpse
to One Side, Took His seat and
to the Strains of sweet Ma
rle" the Body Was Moved.

MIssoULA, Feb. 2l.-When the piano
player in the Nora beer hall came on shift
at o'clock tonight he found a man in
his chair. He spoke to him but got no an
swer. Then he told him emphatically to
get out. and to add force to the command
he took hold of the chair to swing 1t
around. The man in the chair rolled to
the floor. He was dead. AS quickly as
possible an undertaken was summoned
and the body removed; it now lies in IN
dertaker Lucy's morgue.
The piano player moved the chair
around and the strains of "Sweet Marie'
rang through tho room that lately wit
messed the death, and the balls rolled
down the bowling alley as if an immortal
soul had not just peen summoned to its
maker.
The only means of identifying the man
was a letter in his pocket addressed to
George Ficklin, Missoula, Mont. The
letter was written by his brother, Joseph
Ficklin, at the dictation of sister, both
of whom live i'm Baker City, Ore.
Ficklin had been in Missoula about q
month, having come from Hamilton at
the time of the trial of Gibbons and Ma
son for murder; in which case he was an
important witness. He was a Swede or a
Dane, apparently about 45 years old. He
had been drinking heavily for some days,
and had entered the Nora saloon late in
the afternoon and taken a seat in the
chair. He went to sleep and death came
without struggle. No one knows when
he died, but he had evidently been dead
two hours when the piano player moved
the chair and discovered he was dead.

FAR TOO MUCH JOSHING
MiSsOula Suffering From Peculiar
Disease.
NOTHING SERIOUS IN THEM
There Are People Who Have a Sin
gular Idea as to the Best Way
to Advance the interests
of the Garden City.

MIssorLA, Feb o1.-Missoula's board
OF trade. rcorganized ana thoroughly rem
ovated started off with n rush and vlgor
that is encouraging to the friends oil TINS
town. Everybody is taking hold OF the
scheme, and the list of members now
numbers over So The officers of the board
are enthusiastic over the outlook, and are
confident of tho eventual success oil the
new organization. There is, without
doubt, n broad field here for the operation
of n good board of trade, If tho people
here will pull together.
Two prominent business men were dis
cussing the question with STANDARD re-
porter this morning, when one OF them
said: al am about discouraged in trying
to get this town into n sober consideration
of any topic. There is too much so-called
ioshing going on hero to make tho town n
desirable place of residence for anybody.
The older the town gets, tho worse ana
more despicablc are the operations OF
these 'ioshers.' If they will stop hoodoo-
ing the town wo can push ahead, but IL
they will not, VIC might as we'll not try"
The peculiar style Of joshing for which
Mssoula has become notorious is breaking
out again in its most virulcnt form.
Early this week, n "bad debts reporting
agency" opened an Office in this town
and, as usual, leased n bill board on
prominent street. This was playcarded
as belonging to the firm and the space
beneath was left blank for the announce
ment of accounts that are for sale.
Similar boards have been standing in
Butte for years and in Anaconda for
long time and have not been intcrfered
with. But the Missoula board had not
hafn of
;hese "joslers," under cover of night, had
placed upon 1t tho names of several
prominent Missoula men with various
sums placed opposite their names.
Now, this display of wit did not damage
the credit of these gentlemen in the least
in local circles, bus a stranger seeing the
list could not fail TO have n bad impression
of the town and il the "joke" were OK
plained TO him, il is not likely that his os-
innate of the town would be raised to any
marked extent.
This incident was the occasion OF the re-
mark quoted above. The rejoinder of the
gentleman to whom the rem ark was adj
dressed shows that he shared the opinion
of the first speaker. He said: "lf the
board of trade will only organize as q
vigilance committee and put stop to thi:
ioshing and letter writing, the town viii
prosper. But no man will locate hero II
he feels that his reputation is going TO he
ruined by practice that has existed here
unchecked, for years"
This is n suggestion for the board oil
trade to consider. If tho now organiza
ton can succeed in clearing Missoula' S
reputation of the stain which these people
have placed upon it, the city will forge
ahead. If not, the board of trade has nj
up hill fight.

MIssoULA, Feb. 21.-The officials OF the

of the opening for filings of four town
ships in the Upper Flathead country. The
notice reads as follows:

BAPTIoED IN MUD.
Missoula Is Taking Her Annual Bath
These Days.


M1ssoULA, Feb. 21.-Missoula is passing
through her annual baptism OF mud. Not
the kind that the "joshers" throw-that is
in circulation all the year 'round-but the
sticky, Shiny, unctuous stuff that flows
through the streets and stands in oozing
pudles in every thoroughfare. 1t is prob
ably the finest article in mud that is pro-
duced anywhere outside of Louisiana. 1t
combines the free flowing qualities of the
Butte mud with tho adhesive properties of
the Iowa article and the insinuating man
ner of the mud that is manufactured in
Iowa. 1t Stops and spatters and squirts
whenever a horse steps into it and pedes-
TRANS keep close to the inside of the side
walks.
Superintendent of Irrigation George
Fox has more than he can attend to since
the thaw started, but he mas his system of
street irrigation vol in hand and there
are few spots in the city's highways that
are not now under water. In order to
facilitate operations, Mr.. Fox has named
some of the lakes and streams. On
Higgins avenue, in front of the Eddy
block, Lake Stevens spreads its broad ex-
pansc and near the fire hall, the turbid
surface of Lake Mentrum reflects in its
bosom the graceful outlines of Bob's
Gothic tower that surmounts the city hall,
except when a team passes through it on
the ;rot. Then its waters are disturbed and
large portion of it's muddy bottom is
transferred to the sidewalk.
CLANCY river flows past the Florence
hotel, and Lake Heckler makes life mis-
erable for passers TO and from the North
ern Pacific depot. In South Missoula,
Corbett is honored by having a half-acre
sheet of water named for him, and on
south Third street there is a magnificent
waterfall where the stream from tho gut
ter plunges into n hole i'm the water trench.
This is called Prescott Falls.
All over the city there are larger and
smaller bodies of mingled mud and water
and nobody seems to enjoy the situation
except the natives of Oregon. These
'webfooters" slop about in the slush and
feel perfectly ut home.

1T DID GOOD.
Did That Fruit Growers Exhibit Which
Was Hold Las Fall.

Did That Fruit Growers Exhibit Which
Was Hold Las Fall.
MISsoULA, Feb. 2l.-The exhibition of
the Western Montana Fruit Growers as
ISOLATION last fall has resulted in some
valuable advertising for this section Of
Montana. The Missoula Office of tho
STANDARD is in receipt of scores of letters
of inquiry regarding the Bitter Root valley
and the fruit growing industry. 1t will
be remembered that the larger portion of
the Stevensville exhibit was taken to
Butte and displayed there. When it was
taken down hundreds of pounds of fruit
and vegetables were sent by Butte people
TO eastern friends. And now these eastern
people are writing TO Montana for vege-
table seeds and fruit tree cuttings.
1t is doubtful If the vegetables grown
from Montana raised seed would attain
elsewhere the remarkable size that they
reach here, but it has been recognized Cor
several years by prominent seed growers
that seeds raised in Montana are stronger
ana more vigorous than any others that
can be obtained.
For the past three or four years many
of the farmers in the Bitter Root valley
have been raising seed for a prominent
Minneapolis seed firm. Last year many
acres were planted in peas and beans for
these people and other vegetables were
also cultivated for tho seed. This is the
beginning of an industry that promises to
be of no little Importance in this section.
1t is safe TO predict that, as tho superiority
of the Montana fruits and vegetables be.
come known, there will be great dc.
mand for seeds grown here.

MONKEY is DEAD.
And Missoula's Fire Department Is in
Mourning.


MIssoULA, Feb. 2l.-Tho members of
the fire department are in mourning.
"Monkey" is dead. The frsky little
brown spaniel that has been familiar
figure TO all visitors at tho fire station for
several years passed away Tuesday night
after an illness of several days. The fire.
men feel his loss keenly, as he has been a
member of the department ever since the
city hall was completed and has taken
part in every run and every parade since
he Joined the force. Whenever n photo
graph was taken of the fire teams or of
the men, "Nionkey" was given promi-
nent position. He was always on hand.
No member of the department was more
reliable.
When Chief Mentrum had the pho
tographer take the pictures of prince"
and "Snap," tho big team that pulls the
hose wagon, Monkey sat up straight
and held the halters of the horses, who
loved him devotedly. When the State
Firemcn's association met here last fall
the visitors and the local members had n
grand picture taken. In this picture
Monkey sits in n chair in the front row
with the members of the Anaconda de-

G.. Boyd of the Occur d'Alenh branch was
in the city last night from Wallace. To a
STANDARD reporter Mr.. Boyd said that
there is less snow along his line than there
has been for several years. He does not
anticipate any trouble from snow this
spring, as the present warm weather is
melting it rapidly and it will probably be
we'll removed before the spring thaw
comes. All winter the rotaries have been
kept busy running over the hill, but they
have been able to keep the line open,
so that no serious delay to traffic has re-
suited. Trains have to run cautiously
through the cuts, to avoid landslides, but
no other difficulty is experienced.
