by the ice. which was rapidly closing in.
There were. / think, lss in the herd and
there was but very small space of open

present TO improvements are contemplated
and no changes will be made in any airec-
ton As to the report that the company
would terminate its contract with Goodai

The drouth in California Is causing no

pions quantities OF rain fall during the

tons naturally affect the Pacific Coast

carriers OF freight up and down the Coast.
Regarding the recent action OF the inter

agreed TO recommend TO congress that coal
should be placed on the free list. Mr.. Far
reii had little to say. as he was out OF he

Missoula, April 14.-There has been

Is particularly on the fight, and ne is
so anxious to enlist that he cannot
wait for "A call for volunteers. He
was at the Standard office this morning
while the tanitor was sweeping out,
inc wanted to enroll for the war. The
Janitor told him to wait. n he stayed
around till the newsboys came. They
couldn't do much for him except to
jolly him a little and enjoy his Ger
man accent. So he waited till the cir
culator showed up. and was undergoing
a physical examination when the pa
pers arrived. Then Constable Houtch-
ems took him in han and put him
through a course of cross questioning.
The fellow stood pat on every propo-
sition. He could shoot 'yoost a leedle,"
and he thought that he could ana
to live on gunpowder in case he ran
out of crackers and sausage. He had
no family, and would be ready to start
at an hours notice. His name was
taken. and he will be when
the call comes.

school section there has been a queer
fellow operating for several days. He

An Agreement Reached.

Missoula, April 14.-R- Lee McCulloch
of Hamilton is in Missoula on his way
home from Helena, where he went to
appear before the land commissioners
In behalf of the proposed arid land op-
erations in the Bitter Root. Mr.. Nc
culloch says that the state land off,
GERS are not in sympathy with the
movement. and that the board has not
given much encouragement in the mat
ter of retaining the lands under the
provisions of the arid land act. He
thinks. however. that an agreement has
been reached that the board will make
IL possible to proceed with the work
without interruption. unless there Is
some new obstacle interposed.
