school boardP Certainly do. l believe

response of several gentlemen when asked
to sign the petition for the amendment
Just passed by the legislature and await =
ing confirmation by the voters. Others
replied, ~ have not thought OF 1t spec
tally but am sure that is just whit We
ought to have.
Almost without exception the women
of the council found the men ready to

to vote for it when they read the question

One of the closing acts of the session of
Congress which will be endorsed by every
body is the revival of the position of ad :

Dewey to ill it. Dewey is the one hero of
the war who is universally admitted to be
entitled to all the honors that can he
conferred upon him. Sampson and Schley

pions and also their detractors. but all the
people are champions of the Vermonter.

Voters should not forget TO express
their opinion of the act which will be
submitted TO them today providing for
the election of three women TO the school
committee. The acceptance of this act by
a majority of the voters will not reduce
the number of men on the committee or
disturb the present arrangement of elect
ing by wards. 1t merely provides that
three women may be added, the women
to be chosen not by wards but at large.
that is by vote of the whole city, as the
elayor is chosen.

Charles Hail. late of troop F, has re-
ceiVed from the war department a
check for his back pay and travel mon
ey for which he has been wasing an
active campaign since he was discharg-

wrote some weeks ago to the secretary
of war a pitiful letter regarding his
plight as the woer of pretty girl in
Virginia whom he had met in the South,
and his sore need of money due him
from the government. To successfully
press his suit his epistle attracted the
attention of a clerk in the department
who at once wrote to Mr.. Hall and at
the same time interested himself to Sc
cure the back pay. His efforts We're sue

ope arrived which contained check
for nearly $500. 1t is no wonder that
the lieutenant smiles. And that girl in
Nirginia-she will smile, too.

TO FIX HIGGINS AVENUE
Gould Be Made One of the Hand
soonest Streets in Montana.
PLANS FOR IMPROVING IT
The Work Done Should Be OF Perma-
nent Character, Even if 1t Is Little
Expensive-But 1t viii Be Ben
eft to the Whole City.

Missoula, June 1.-THE Higgins ave-
nue. improvement question is receiving
much serious consideration this week
and there seems little doubt that the
meeting that is to be held Monday eve
ming will result in the adoption of some
permanent plan of improvement. The
experience of the spring months has de-
monstrated beyond doubt that the
avenue must be made a better street at
once. There is little or no disagree
ment upon that point, but the discus
sion at present is as to what method
is to be followed in the improvement.
There have been some figures advanced
which seem to lack relia bility and it is
the purpose of the meeting Monday
night to get at some figures that will
be official and reliable. When these are
before the council and the property
owners it will be possible to decide
much more easily than without these
estimates. 1t is the desire of a ma
jority of the property owners along the
avenue to do such work upon the street
as will be permanent.
The work that has been done in past
years has been of such a character that
it has afforded only temporary relief
from the mud and water. Money that
is spent in this way is money thrown
and money that is spent in permanent
and lasting Improvement is money well
invested. The scraping of mud out of
the cutters and placing it in the middle
of the street is work that would cost
money and would do no good. In Sc
Letting curbing, too, the thought that
should be uppermost is to spend the
money that will go into this part of the
work in a curb and a gutter that Will
be lasting. 1t is useless to put in some
arrangement that will not last. At
least one good result has been accom-
plShed by the discussion Of the matter
this Week-it has served to satisfy most
of those who have investigated the
matter that the improvement of the
street is not urged for the mere sake of
amusement and by those who are not
interested in the city. 1t is urged by
men who are heavily interested in the
city and for the purpose of benefiting
the city. If the work is properly done
Higgins avenue will be the finest street
in the Northwest 1t will not be ex-
pensive when the cost of maintaining
the avenue for several years is consid-
cred. The expense may be little high
for the first year. but the cost of tht
street work for the ensuing years vii
be slight That is factor in the mat.
ter that should not be overlooked.

The Library Closed.

Missoula, June 14.-The many patrons
of the public library will be sorry to
learn that the library will be closed for
a month or more. The ceiling that has
been falling down in pieces ever since
the library has occupied the quarters
is being repaired, and the books have
been stored away in a small room ad-
joining the main room. The workm en-
are tearing down the old ceiling. and
before the new one will be up month
will have gone by. All patrons who
have any books in their possession will
have to retain them until the library
opens again, and no fines will be
charged against them. The work was
started unexpectedly and the librarian
was unable to call in the books.

Mssoula, June 14.-Some idea of the
