State University buildings Are Being
Rushed To Completion.
Missoula, une 10.-The work on the
buildings of the state university is be-
ing crowded along as fast as possible.
h pleasant weather has removed
much OF the fear regarding the supply
of brick. although 1t is probable that
there will even now be a delay of a
week or so in the brick work. The wet
weather of last month made 1t impos-
sible to make brick and the first kiln
OF this season will he out later than
was expected when the work began
this season. The science hall is ready
for the roof and the brick work on the
university hall will be a little slow for
a time until the new brick supply be-
gins to come in. The stone masons n
cutters are busy at work with their
part OF the job and the columns and
capitals are being cut or the grounds.
The laying of the corner stone
aroused new interest I'm the building
operations and many people ave Wis
tied the grounds within the past week
who had never been there before. All
of these express surprise at the ex-
tent OF the work and at the beauty of
the site. Especially great was the sur
prise of the distinguished visitors from
the east side who visited the grounds
Tuesday and Wednesday for the first
time. Governor Smith. Chief Justice
Pemberton. Judge Milton and others
were deeply impressed by the surround
ings Of the location tb~t has been Sc
lected for the university. and all of the
guests were delighted with the situa-
ton n the magnificent view that
spreads out before the visitor as III
stands upon the portal tn the new hall.
The members of the state board of edu-
cation are well pleased with the prog
ress that the construction work Is maxi
ing and with the character of the new
buildings. II seems certain that the
state will receive the best value for the
money that is to be invested in these
buildings that II has had for any SINH
lar investment I'm the state. IN build
ings Will be the best for the money
that have ever been erected i'm this sec
ton.

A Zig Annie Crop.

Missoula. June l0.-The more the city
hears about the crops up the Bitter
Root and In the Missoula valley or
chards. the more apparent il becomes
that. unless there Is a destructive hail
storm, the apple crop and the ship
ments of other fruits from Western
Montana this year will be a Wonder
fully large amount The estimate that
Is made of h crop of apples alone on
the Pine Grove farm. the fine place of
Bass Brothers. Is between 1000 and
10000 boxes. IL lis not more than three
or Tour years since this figure repre-
sented the entire output of the valley.
Now one N will ship this quantity
of apples alone. leaving other fruits
out of the question. So il is with the
small fruits. The berries and the cur
rants and the cherries will be abundant
and OF fin quality. All of the shippers
are getting ready for a lively business
and the expressmen on the Copper City
Limited are preparing for their busy
day.

Encouraging Reports.

Missoula, June 10.-Division Superin-
tendent Russell has returned from a
trip over the D.. q Il. branch to Philips
burg and brings encouraging reports
from the mining towns in Granite
county. He says that there is "A good
number of men already al work and
that h idle men who are in line for
positions will probably soon have
something to do. The indications are
that the once busy camps that have
been idle for so long will soon renew
their youth and be as active as they
were before 1898. This will be one of
the best things hat could happen for
Western Montana, and the people Of
this region are looking forward with
interest to the time when Philipsburg
will be the same lively place that IL was
six years ago.

more perilous h that going up. Miss
Peck lost her footing and swung over
a cliff, but was rescued by means OF
the stout rope round her waist. Next
year the intrepid young American
woman visited Mexico and climbed
Mount Orizaba. This ascent, while
greater. was nothing so dangerous as
that of Matterhorn. Miss Peck is now
planning "A trip which will beat her
own record. She always carries a
