fruits and flowers are known and are
cited as important among the resour-
ces OF this remarkable commonwealth.
OF Missoula's tributary country, the
rich Bitter Root, Missoula and French
town valleys, much has been said and
written, but not too much. They are
regions OF almost unparalleled produc-
tiveness. To the Missoula and French
town valleys belongs the distinguished
honor of growing the hay and oats
which received the first awards at the
Columbian exposition, and the Bitter
Root valley possesses the enviable dis
tinction OF producing the finest apples
IN the world. In the mountains that
hem in these fertile fields are treas
ures or the precious metals. and upon
their rocky slopes are forests OF valu-
able timber, all Of which contribute TO
the prosperity Of the city situated in
their midst and bound by commercial
ties TO every community and every
hamlet in the vast range Of country.
without Attempting TO solve what the
future has In store for Missoula, and
with no attempt to boom" the city
IL is safe 10 predict that the town will

COS marvellous in variety and in ex-
tent. the central point Of a land of
frpit and flowers; possessed of every
na,,,raI advantage that could be de-
sired: handsomely and substantially
built; honored by being selected as the
location for the state university; pos
sessinc all these salutary features.
Missoula. the University City of Mon
tana. is indeed favored beyond many of
her sister cities and is deserving OF the
prosperity which seems in store for
her. There is no essential feature of
thriving city that is lacking in the re-
sources which nature has so lavishly
bestowed upon this beautiful city-pure
water. excellent drainage. fertile soil,
mild and salubrious climate, fine rail-
way facilities, delightful surroundings
and a prosperous tributary country.
All these are Missoula's without the
seeking.
The early history OF Missoula is IA
miliar to all the readers OF the Stand
ard. 1t has often been written. The
choice of the city location was not an
accident but was Ne result OF care
full examination OF the upper Mlssouia
valley for a townsite. The city was
built where II is because here, Of all
places in the magnificent Missoula val
lev. was the location deemed most adj
vantageous by the original builders of
the town. Its growth has thoroughly
demonstrated the wisdom of the choice
of Captain Higgins and his associates,
and Missoula stands to-day the most
beautiful city In the great state of
Montana-the Garden City of the state,

career. The building is we'll situated,
and will be entirely remodeled as to
its interior arrangement. II is situated
at a convenient distance from the CEN
ter of the city, and is yet far enough
removed to overcome the objections
which would be raised to a building in
the heart of town. 1t is at the termi-
nus of the street railway and is within
a short distance of boarding places.
The management of the business af-
fairs of the university Is in the hands
of the local board. which is composed
of Hon. Hiram Knowles, J. ii. 4. Ry-
man and Thomas G. Marshall. The
state board of education has general
control Of the institution, and IL is eX-
pected that the school will be given a
high standard. which will give Il a
place among the best schools in Amer
lea.
As yet but one member Of the faculty
has been appointed. Prof. $. A. Mer-
rift, who will be at the head of the
scientific department. Professor Mer-
rift is admirably qualified for this po-
sition, and brings to IL a rare knowl-
edge Of the branches of his depart
ment. and a ripe experience as a sue
cessful teacher. that will at once give
his chair distinction and honor. FRO

graduation. At first there will be a
preparatory department connected
with the institution. and IL is interest

to watch the workings of these meas
ures when adopted and to secure any
possible improvement in them. The
next step is 10 make the best possible
use of convict labor IN road building.
My own impression is that state prison
convicts will be best employed il the
preparation OF road materials IN quar-
ry camps or gravel pits. where they
can be guarded and secluded as easily
as in prisons, and that county prison
ers and tramps should do the grading
and all other preparatory work on the
roads.
In regions where rock is plenty, by
using the best machinery for crushing
stone and employing the convicts only
in quarrying and handling it an
amount of material could be produced
sufficient to macadamize all the roads
in the state as fast as they could be
prepared, and in addition to furnish
ballast for the railroads as considera
ton for their giving reduced "a ties on
road materials.
OF their own motion the railroads
are ready to contribute largely in this
way toward road improvement. In
their correspondence with the depart
ment of agriculture on the subject,
many have proposed to make half
rates or haul at bare cost whenever
a general advance toward road i'm
provement shall begin, and the state
commission would be in a position to
make better terms with them than any
private individual or local authority,
and better than we could do on behalf
of the general government without
the power to offer any definite assist
ance on its part in return.

LeakY Poultry House Roofs.

A small hole in the roof will do in
calculable damage to flock by keep
ing the house damp and cold. Evap-
Grafton of moisture is always at the
expense of loss of warmth, and the
failure to stop crack may cause an
expense for more food, as the body of
the fowl is kept warm by the food,
and the more coma fortable the quar-
tiers the less food required. Dry cold,
where the fowls are not exposed to
the winds, will no cause as much
sickness as dampness, and especially
when the rain not only leaks down On
the floor, but also on the fowls as
well. Close the leaks before the
weather becomes cold

AN ENORMOUS VINE.
One That Grows in'Enszand and Bears Two
: Thousand Bunehes of Grapes,

One That Grows in England and Bears Two
Thousand Bunehes of Grapes.
While in the public mind the great
vine at Hampton Court palace is es-
teemed the most remarkable, even that
is excelled in dimensions by the still
greater vine at Cumberland lodge,
Windsor Park, says the London Daily
News. Not only these giants, but
probably all other vines in the kingdom,
have to give place for extent and pro-
ductiveness to that most remarkable
vine which is just at the present moment
carrying the enormous quantity of
eight hundred and ffty-two punches
and a total weight materially exceed
ing half a ton.
This is growing at Manresa house,
northampton, in winery two hundred
and twenty-four feet long by eleven
feet wide. The vine was planted by
the present gardener, Mr. Davis, as a
cutting, onto a wall outside more than
thirty years ago. But finding that in
the natural soil such capital growth
was made, the present house was
specially built for its accommodation.
so that now the vine and its main stems
stand partly across the house, Just two
thirds up its length. There are seven
main rods or branches running hori-
zontally each way. These are allowed
to carry laterals, or fruiting shoots, on
the upper sides only, so that the grapes,
now fast becoming black (for the va
riety is the black Hamburg), hang the

entire length of the roof in straight,
even lines, instead of up the roof, as is
commonly the case. Over two thou
sand punches were cut after they had
set. The value of the crop, estimated
at two shillings per pound-which is,
as good grapes go, perhaps not high
figure - would be one hundred and
twelve pounds sterling. Probably no
other tree of any kind in the kingdom
could produce such sum in fruit an
nually.

GOOD ROAD PROBLEM.
Report of the Officers Of Uncle Sans
Agricultural Department.

Report of the Officers of Uncle Sans
Agricultural Department..
The agricultural department is about
to issue elaborate information on the
subject of good roads," which con-
gress has directed the department to
investigate. The publication will en-
brace the entire proceedings of the
national road conference, held at As
bury Park, n. j., July and 6, at
which every shade of, opinion on i'm
proving roads was presented. Roy
Stone, the special agent and road en-
gineer of the department, will also in
clude a number of addresses on the
road question. He makes no report,
SO that these addresses practically
constitute report. Mr.. Stone says
among other things:
The main question is how can a peo-
pie having no surplus capital build
good roads? For an answer we must
go where they have done it success
fully and study the methods. First,
we must study all the economics pos
sible in construction. Second, we
must find out all the parties to be
benefited and see that each bears his
proper share of the cost, whether or
not he belongs to the immediate To-
cality or even to the present genera
ton of men. Third, we must look
into local questions of road materials
and transportation, and into all latest
improvements in road implements and
machinery.
But who is to do all this? And that
brings US to the first practical step in
general road improvement, namely,
that every state should have perma-
nent commission composed of citizens
of the highest character to undertake
this investigation and recommend the
necessary measures to the legislature,
