BETTER WEATHER.
The sun Has Succeeded IN using the
Boycott that Was On 1t.

Missoula, May 23.-For the past two
days Missoula has reveled in some real
Montana weather, the home article hav-
ing crowded the Dakota weather out OF
the market. The sun has succeeded in
raising the boycott that had been upon it
for a month and once more got in it's
work on the trees and the grass. The
leaves and the fruit buds have grown so
fast that IL has been almost possible to
see the growth, and there is now little
shade from the new foliage. The valleys
present a pretty picture and the fruit
men are rejoicing over the prospects of a
good crop. The grain, which has been
pushing along under difficulties, is now
shooting out of the ground and everything
is making an effort to make up for lost
time. The season is at hand when West
ern Montana is the most beautiful place
in the world and all are preparing to en-
joy 1t. Reports from all of the farming
districts are encouraging and the only
thing that will injure the crops Is a heavy
frost This is not thought TO be probable
as the season is so far advanced and the
spring has been so cool. The orchards
are said to be in the best possible condi-
ton and the lateness of the season has
been rather to the advantage of the fruit
men, who hope to get even this year for
the losses of two years ago, when strikes
and floods did them so much damage.

Two Republicans Senator's .


After the House had convened this morn
ing the clerk read the refusal of Mr. Dunlap
to prosecute his contest against Mr. Kauf-
man. AT its close, Mr. Carroll arose and
stated that the House had no right to re-
fuse Mr.. Dunlap the right to withdraw
his contest Thus, as far as the House
is concerned, he claimed, settled the matter
entirely. Representative Robbins, Demo-
crat, declared that nobody could compel
Dunlap 20 do what he did not want to do

Representative LYONS, Republican, claimed
that Dunlap had only asked leave to with
draw his contest. His willingness to with
draw did not affect the right OF the House
to go ahead with the case. There are"
he said, 1.-TWO distinct questions involved
One Is, whether Kaufman was elected fair
ly and the other is was there fraud and
was Dunlap entitled to the seatg He
thought the House should go ahead with the
case.
Representative Force, Democrat, declared
that 1t was child's play to argue the ques-
ton of bringing up the case again.
Representative Howard, Republican, said
that it was a question as to who was the
rightful member from the city of Lexing-
ton. and IL was left to the House to say
il there had been fraud in that election.
The Speaker said in deciding the ques-
ton, that it was one for the commonwealth
TO decide. The contest had been conducted
legally. All the forms of law had been
observed and the Chair held that il was
perfectly competent for Dunlap before the
case had been prosecuted to the end to have
abandoned the contest. but that he had no
such right after the case had been tried.
He cited the case of Gallon VS.. Riardon

There was a crowd OF Democrats at the
