Missoula, May 9.-The holes for the
trees that are to be planted at the
State university grounds next Tuesday
are now being dug, and everything
will be in readiness for the celebration
of Arbor day in this city. The trees
are in good shape and the planting is
in good hands. 1t will be done in sci
entific shape and with water There
is no doubt that the trees will thrive
as have those that have been planted
on the land of the South Missoula Land
company. In two years the grounds
will be transformed and when the
buildings of the university are ready
there will be no prettier place in the
state. Tuesday will be an eventful day
in this city and II will infuse new en-
ergy into the movement towards Inn
proving the city. While there is no
pleasanter town I'm the state than Mis-
soula, there Is room for improvement
even here, and the best way to get the
work started in the right direction Is
10 begin to plant trees and keep the
work up each year. There is no town
in the state where work in this direc-
where will the returns from
little effort be SO great The record of
Tuesday will be a good start'in the
right way and the 500 trees that will be
planted at the university grounds will
be doubled in number in another year

this movement are carried out.
