Thirsty for News.

Missoula. April 16.-The sidewalk In
front Of the Standard office has been
crowded all the afternoon with a throng
eagerly watching for the news from
washington. Each bulletin as IL has
been posted has called forth an extend

kept busy till the arrival Of the succeed
ing bulletin. The policy of the presi-
dent has been cussed and discussed;
the senate has been abused and upheld;
the house has been commended n
damned: stories have been told of the
late civil war by those who took part
in IL. and predictions have been made
concerning the coming war by those
who say that they are willing to take
part In il. If the sentiment through
out the country is az II is In Missoula.

securing all the defenders that he
wants. and more than he needs. for the
war with Spain.

The combination which existed among

there will be an exciting time ere long
among the dealers. which may result In
benefits 10 the consumer. A Post-Inteli-
gencer reporter visited the offices of the
three ice companies yesterday 10 ascer-
tain the true situation.
The Office man of the Seattle Ice Com
pany said:
I'VE are conducting business TO suit our
selves this year, and are not governed by
a combination or agreement of any kind
We sell ice at prices 10 suit ourselves. and
intend TO follow that policy all summer
/ have not heard of war being declared
among the ice dealers or or a wholesale
cut in prices. Ali l know Is that the
combination has been dissolved and the
dealers are selling ice at prices to suit
themselves"
AT the Office OF the Diamond Ice and
Storage Company 1t was admitted that
the combination which had existed among
the dealers had been dissolved, and that
there is no uniform price. An officer of
the company said:
THE price of our ice depends upon the
quality and quantity you desire. There is
no fight on among the dealers. but you
know 1t Is always a hard matter to say
what a day may bring forth. We sell Ice
regardless of all other dealers. and are
not obligated in any way by a combina-
ton or agreement.
The same information was given out al.
the office of the Crystal Ice Company.
