"The Spider and the FIy."

Missoula, April 15.-Apropos of the
Spider and Fly's" big business during
the late Northwestern tour, the follow

the gorgeous spectacle:
"A big crowd greeted Treasurer

he opened his cash window at 8 a. M.

the constant call for several hours.

Miss Clara TIlropp.

Missoula, April 15.-Probably the most
interesting engagement of the present
theatrical season at Maguire's Union
opera house in this city will be the APP
pearance here next Monday evening of
that most talented and charming of
American condolences, Miss Clara
Thropp in Henrik Ibsen's dramatic
masterpiece, "A Dolls House.
Since Miss Thropp's wonderful sue
cess at the Duke of YorlS's theater in
London as Nora in this remarkable
play, this clever American actress has
been regarded as being without a peer
in her special line of character depic-
ton upon the native stage. Since her
last appearance in this country in plays
of a lighter order, Miss Thropp has met
with distinct success as Katherine in
Shakespeare's 1.-The Tanning of the
Shrew' and as Viola in THE Twelfth
Night" besides in other parts that have
in the past made the reputation of sew
eral of the worlds greatest actresses.
For 600 nights she played the part of
Nora in London in Ibsen's masterpiece
and her depletion of that character be-
came topic for wide discussion on
two continents. Possibly no dramas
were more extensively discussed than
"Cyrano de Bergerac' and "A Dolls
House."

"Davy" Will Marry.

Missoula, April 15.-One of the great
est surprises of the year was the an
nounCempnt made to-day that w. II.
Davenport would be married Sunday
"Davy" has been so long a bachelor
that nobody suspected that he would
ever put his head into the moose. But
he took out license to-day, after try
ing in vain to buy a secondhand one,
and will be spliced Sunday afternoon.
The bride is Miss Chloe Amelia Boone,
who is better known by her stage
name, Helen Reynolds. The many
friends of the two will wish them much
happinesS.

ing the day. The fall in temperature
was Godsend to the men who We're
lighting water at the washouts and at
the bridges in the canyon east of here.
1t was hard fight for three or four
days and, had it not been for the check
that the cold wave produced, the bat
tie would still be in progress. The de-
lay caused by the chill. however, has
enabled the trackmen and the bridge
builders to get their work into good
shape, and Superintendent Russell said
last night that he thought that the
worst of the trouble was over for this
year. There is much more water to
come down, however, and the snow is
still deep all along the line The thaw
of the past week was only a starter and
during the next three or four weeks
this section of the country will prob
ably see some new high water marks
eSta blished.

THE CAUSE IS A MYSTERY
No Clue to the Origin of the
Goughnour Fire.
THE LUMBER WAS SAVED
The Mill Was Ablazs From One End to
Other When the Fire Was Dis
covered - The Loss
Was SIS 900

Missoula, April 15.--E. f. Goughnour
came up from his camp yesterday and
will remain in the city for time. In
speaking of the recent destruction of
his saWmll by fire, Mr.. Goughnour
said:
1T was a mysterious blaze and we
have been unable to trace any cause
for it. The fire was discovered shortly
before l o'clock in the morning, and
when first seen the mill was ablaze
from one end to the other. The lum-
Der was piled SO far from the mill that
it was not burned and the planning mill
was also saved 1t had been raining
for two days and everything was soak
ing wet. SO that the fire was more easily
controlled
Those who saw the fire first say that
it originated in front of the boiler fire
box. The fire spread from there to the
ends of the buildings. We have been
working every day since Jan l and the
mill had run till 6 O'clock that night
1t is expected to have the plant run
ming in about 80 days Work will be
begun at once on the foundations and
they will be ready by the time the ma
chinery gets here. The old plant cost
me about $1,000. but machinery is
cheaper NOV anu L tntHh tIdl L can re-
place the mill for $4,000. l had no in
Surance
The loss of the business will be
heavier than the actual cost of the mill.
We We're crowded with orders and had
all of our lumber sold for the season.
We will get started again as soon as
we can.
AS | have said. we have no clue to
the origin Of the fire. 1t is always easy
tn tall, a h1ut iDcapdia rSp1 and there
are some circumstances connected with
this affair that are peculiar. but / have
not allowed myself to think about this
phase of the natter

AT THE UNIVERSITY.
New Buildings Are Admirably Adopted
to the Work

Missoula, April 14.-Work at the state
university is progressing in splendid
style now that the institution is in it's
own home. The new buildings have
been found to be admirably adapted to
the work of the university and the
scope of this work will be broadened
now that the facilities for an extended
range of work have been provided
Plans are now being made for many
improvements in the work in the COM
ing year and the present year will end
under most favorable conditions. The
graduating class this year will number
five. Last years class was but two in
number.
An important acquisition has been
made to the geological museum collec-
ton in the shape of the Douglass col
lection of fossils This is very complete
in its department and has been scen-
titically arranged. 1t has been placed
in position during the past week.
The university will observe Arbor
day on large scale. The new univer-
sity will be established this year and
Will be formally started on .Arbor day.
1t is hoped that the city will take an
active part in the matter.

Missoula has no right to claim to be
desirable city for home-seekers and
home builders unless it keeps up the
good work of cleaning the streets. The
work that has been done within a week
shows how much can be accomplished
at little expense. MissOula clean will

ENCOURAGING REPORTS.
Everyone on the West Side Is Taking
Hold in Earnest.


Missoula, April 15.-Letters are being
received by the executive committee of
the board Of trade that are encourag
ing to those who are al work upon the
arrangements for the meeting of the
irrigation congress. The leading ranch
men and cattlemen of Eastern Montana
and the fruitgrowers and farmers of
the west side are all taking held of the
matter in earnest. While it is too early
to make any definite predictions in re-
gard to the number of delegates that
will attend, it seems certain at this
time that the meeting will be the larg-
est that the National Irrigation con-
gress has ever held. 1t is expected that
the railways will take an active part
in the matter of advertising the meet
ing, as it will be of great benefit to
them as affordng people an opportu-
nifty to visit this section and see for
themselves it's resources.
Chairman O'Donnell of the national
executive committees writes from Bill
ings that he is assured that there will
be a good attendance from outside the
state this fall and says that it is hoped
that, in addition to the Bitter Root eX-
cursion, there will be a trip arranged
by the railway people to the national
park for the benefit of the Eastern
visitors. All in all, the outlook is very
encouraging.

THE RULING QUESTION.
Men and Women Awaiting Their Turn to
BE Scratched.

BE Scratched.
Missoua. April 15.-Have you been
vaccinated? That is the question that
every man asks of every other man
these days. The doctors have all been
busy for the past four days inoculat-
ing arms with the virus that prevents
the smallpox. In one office near the
Standard office last night there We're
20 men and women waiting for their
turns to get their arms scratched. While
the scare has subsidized, as people have
found that there was no good ground
for it, the need of vaccination has be-
come fully impressed on the minds of
all those who have not already good
scars on their arms. The boys who We're
in Troop last year have been laugh
ing at their friends this week. They
were vaccinated at Chickamauga. The
Christian Scientists are about the only
ones who have not been vaccinated.
They consider thoughts more effectual
as preventatives than virus.
The manner in which the vaccinating
was done in the camp at Chckamauga
last year by the military surgeons is
graphically described by Lieutenant
Hall of Troop F. He says that the men
stood in line with their sleeves rolled
up waiting their turn at the dope deal
ers.' The virus was not sent in little
tubes, but in big bottles or jars AS the
man to be operated upon came up one
assistant gave his arm a quick wipe
with wet cloth or sponge and then
the victim was passed on to the next
who, with two or three passes, scraped
off the cutice and the patient moved
on. The man with the jar of virus had
swab that he dipped into the jar
Then he hit the raw place of his victim s
arm with the sWab and told him to
move on" Thousands of men We're
Vaccinated in that way.

No Clue

exceedingly fortunate that the explosive
was discovered before the train reached il.

No New Cases.

Mssoula. April 1J.-There has been very
little smallpox talk about the city to-day
and no new cases have been reported,
There are still numerous scare stories in
circulation but when chased down they
are found to be without foundation The
quarantine notices already reported are
strictly carried out and every effort is
being made to prevent any spread of the
disease. The opinion that the recommen-
dations of the city board of health We're
carried out in time and that there is
not much danger of any further spread

Contract Awarded.

Missoula, April 15.--The Big Blackfoot
Milling company has received the con-
tract for the interior finish for the new
government buildings at the military
post at Seattle. There We're several
bidders for this contract, which is to he
filled by the local company. The wood
work is to be of tamarack and the close
competitors for the work were the Spo-
kane manufacturers and the Bonner
mills. The fact that the contract has
come to the local mills is a matter for
cOngratulation.
