Missoula, Sept. ST think that the
visit of the Northern Pacific Ian sales
men will result in considerable good to
this part of Montana" said q business
man this morning. "Of course 1t Will
not be felt all at once. but IL VIII come
in due time. and l believe that by next
summer farmers will he coming here
who will be of benefit to the country.
They will be men who understand their
business and who will make he most
OF the opportunities which mis- state
with its rich and large markets affords.
The home markets are by no means sup
piled yet and there Is no fear of over
production. All that ak is bosh. There
are hundreds of tons of farm produce
shipped to Montana from Washington
and Oregon hat ought to be grown
here"
There was "A good deal of truth In
the remarks that Alderman Keith MADE
at the council meeting last night I'm re-
gard to the vacations of the nrefnen
and policemen" said a man who heard
the talk to a reporter. The men VINO
ask for a vacation from their work Tor
the city would be a long time at work
for the railway company or any other
concern before they got what they ask
for. The firemen. too. are given one day
of each week. is better than most
men working for that salary get. IL
seems that as soon as a man gets TO
work for the city he wants more Tor
the money thar he ever got
else. And the city's expenses are too
high already
II hope that you will continue to
work on the plan that you have sug-
gested regarding Arbor day i'm connec-

prominent business man this morning.
'Missoula ought TO make a great day
of that each year and the university
ought TO be the central point IN the
celebration. Trees planted on the
grounds will benefit the whole commun-
ity. / have noticed that in many oil
the Western states there is little or no
attention paid to the decoration OF th'
rounds of the university grounds
plenty of trees and handsome grounds
such as can be made across the river
will be worth more to the university
than anything that the city can do a.
nresent. And this can be done so east
iy that II ought not to be overlooked.
'%Speakine of the university said
man who overheard this remark, nov
many of you have been over to look a
the new buildings? If you have no
seen them. you ought TO do 50 at once
They are the best public buildings I'm tn
state for the money and they have bee
erected within the original estimat,
That is a fact that is much to the credl
of the building commission. While IN
halls are fine buildings, they have COS
the state a comparatively small sur
of money. They are by long odds TN
hest buildings for the money that
have ever seen put up in this country
If you ever go over to the grounds 70
will feel repaid for your trip
do you know how far II Is to the ne
university grounds asked a sout
slider. II measured the distance Wit
my bicycle cyclcmeter the other da
and found that the main hall is just
mile from the south end of the brldg'
The temporary quarters of the unlvei
sity are three-quarters of a mile froi
the bridge"
