Old Toms Return.

Missoula, March 29.-The cat came
back. Henry Chaney's long-lost Tom
walked into the lobby of the Florence
hotel this o O as unconcernedly as If
he had been there every day for the
last six months instead OF having been
on cumming around somewhere while
his owner was hunting high and low
for him and offering all sorts of re-
wards for his return. Tom was for
many months the favorite OF the hotel
n Its visitors. There was no better
known animal I'm the state than old
Tom. All of the drummers knew him
and the theatrical people all went wild
over him. He is one of the handsomest
cats ever seen and his presence i'm the
hotel lobby had come to- be so much n
matter of course that when. six months
ago. he disappeared, there was no end
To the inquiries that were made re-
garding him. Harry CLANCY himself
could not nave been missed more than
was Tom. Search was made every
where for him The police looked all
over the city and all of the small boys
in town were promised rewards If they
would find Tom. But no Tom vas
found. The verdict was that he had
been killed and the search was finally
abandoned. There ave been several
efforts made to replace Tom, but the
cats that We're introduced have ak
proved failures and the hotel has been
without a cat for two or three months.
But to-day Tom came back. He walked
up the back stairs into the hotel office
as IL he had simply been i'm the base
ment taking "A nap. He walked up to
Frank West and rubbed against him as
he used to and looked around to see IL
everything was as he had left ii when
he went away. Mr.. West took Tom i'm
his arms up to Harry Chaney's room,
where Mr.. CLANCY was lying i'll in bed
and handed the cat over to it's old mas
ter. The sight of the eat was better
than medicine and the hotel will know
Tom nee more. He Is the hero of the
hour tonight.

Fine Bitter Root Prospects.

Missoula, March 29.-Amos Buck Of
Stevensville has been in town for Il day
on his way home from a business trip
across the range and speaks encour-
agingly of the Bitter Roots prospects
for this year. He says that the fruit
outlook is excellent and that there will
duce i'm the valley this year han there
from the Bitter Root to irrigate the
Burnt Fork basin will be completed in
a few months and will be ready for the
delivery of water before the irrigating
season opens. Mr.. Buck said to-day:
THE outlook for the success of the
plans of the arid Ian commission is
good. AS soon as the sanction of the
secretary of the interior is received,
there will be no obstacle i'm the way Of
the commissioner proceeding at once
to organize the proposed irrigation dis
trict i'm the valley. This done. the
funds for the construction of the biz
ditch Will be forthcoming and there
will be nothing to prevent the speedy
completion of the work. To one who
has not seen the valley. the importance
of this plan cannot be apparent. This
ditch will doubl the cultiVable land
of the valley. and the land hat will be
reclaimed will be the most productive
I'm the whole valley. There is no land
anywhere that will produce such crops
as car be grown on this bench land,
and the extent of the area can hardly
be estimated. 1t will be the greatest
thing that could possibly happen for
the valley"
