AN ASSURED SUCCESS,
Missoula Will BE Well Advertised by the
Irrigation Congress.

Missoula Will Be Well Advertised by the
Irrigation Congress.
Missoula, March 22.-President Evans
of the board of trade has not yet an
nounced his selection of an executive
committee for the manag Qment of the
local end of the coming meeting Of the
irrigation congress that will assemble
here this year, but there is no hurry
now that the city has decided that it
Will accept the proposition made to
hold the meeting here. Merchants and
farmers, with all of the stOckmen and
orchard men of this section, propose to
take hold of this affair and carry it
through with the same degree of sue
cess that has characterized their eff
forts in regard to the Western Montana
fair for the past few years. 1t is ad-
mitted that this is the best opportunity
that has been afforded for bringing the
resources and natural advantages Of
Western Montana prominently before
people who are qualified to appreciate
them. 1t is said that there will be an
attendance of not less than 100 from
outside the state, and this body of men
is composed of the most eminent eX-
perts in the science and engineering of
irrigation. There will also be a large
attendance from different parts of Mon
tana. Arrangements will be made to
take care of all who may, wish to come
1t has already been decided that one
feature of the meeting will be an OK
cursion up the Bitter Root valley and
visits to those establishments in that
region that best demonstrate what
water will do If properly applied to the
soil of Western Montana.

He HAS WON HIS PLACE
Wilbur Moore Has Made a
Record in Denver.
HE DID EXCELLENT WORK
Road and Track Races-He Is
Coming Back to Mis-
Soula

Missoula, March 22.-M1ssoula people
will remember the brilliant bicycle rid
ing of Wilbur Moore last summer at the
race meetings held on the South Mis-
soula track and will be pleased to learn
that he has succeeded in winning a
prominent place among Denver wheel
men by reason of his excellent work in
road and track races there. To do this
among the riders that race in the Colo
RADIO city man must be able to do his
mile in good time. Moore had made a
record on the Denver track of Pill fiat
and has done some excellen. work in
the road races. Last August, shortly
after he left Missoula, Moore entered
in handicap road race, the conditions
being five miles out, dismount. turn and
five miles back. He was in the one-mn-
ute handicap class and finished fifth in
time. The time of the third man was
26:0S, the fourth 26:0SR, and Moore,
fifth, 500. In his track work Moore
rode 96 gear and did some clever work.
He was pacemaker in one of the crack
events of the fall and paced the final
mile in one of the hottest races of the
year in 2:11. Moore was in a two-mi
race at one of the meetings. The first
mile was paced by triplet and the
second by quad. Moore's time for the
two miles was four minutes fiat He
has attracted the attention of many of
the older riders and is considered as one
of the most promising of the young
amateurs of the West. When Moore
made his first start in MsSoula last
year nobody knew what he could do
He was regarded with Indifference and
his work was a surprise, even to his
friends. He will make Missoula a short
visit this spring and will be cordially
welcomed by his wheelmen friends.

MisSDula Real Estate.

Missoula, March 22-Real estate men
report numerous Inquiries regarding
Missoula real estate this spring and
also concerning land in the surround
ing country. 1T is believed that there
will be a considerable increase in the
number of farms sold here this wear
over the figure of last year, which was
large one. The fame of the products
of this section is advertising this part
of the state most satisfactorily. and the
fact that the State university is located
here is attracting many people to Mis-
soula as resid nee town. Builders are
anticipating most active season in
their line

RICHES IN RUBBISH.
Charity in Russia Derives an Income
From Waste Articles.


To the majority of people it seldom
occurs that there could be any possible
value attached to the rubbish" which
collects in every house, aside, perhaps,
from the paper rags which are sold for
the munificent sum of one-half cent
per pound. And yet it has been proved
that this rubbish if collected in suffi-
cient quantities, will amount to enough
to aid very materially in carrying on
the charitable work of the city.
The plan has been tried in Odessa
Russia, and reported by the United
states consul from that place. Accord
ing to his report the Countess Shuvalof,
president of the Society for the Relief
of the Odessa Poor. had printed and
sent to every householder in the city a
circular asking for contributions of all
unnecessary articles" these to com
prise everything imagined and unimag-
med, from clothing to footwear down to
paper, corks broken glass, cut off cigar
ends and even empty cigarette boxes.
In the vernacular of the day ANY old
thing was asked for with the assur-
ance that it would be received with
most earnest gratitude"
All that was asked of those contribu-
ting was that they should save their
rubbish, and collectors, dressed in uni
form, would carry it away.
The society felt that in making this
appeal they were not taxing the gener-
osity of anyone, or trespassing upon
anyone's needs, and yet, by applying to
every household for a contribution, they
would raise a sufficient amount to aid
materially in carrying on their charita-
BILE work.
After the material was collected it
was separated into various classes, and
sold to firms. who worked it over and
used it in the manufacture of paper,
glass, metals, etc.
The suggestion might be worthy Of
consideration by cur own charitable
societies. The work entailed could be
carried on largely by those to whom aid
is given, thus carrying cut the rule
now widely adopted Ct recurring some
service in exchange for aid. instead of
giving aims, as was done before socio-
logical questions were 50 carefully stud

REESE COMING BACK.
He Has Nearly Recovered From the Ef~

He Has Nearly Recovered From the Eff
fects of His Wounds.
Missoula, March 22.-Many Missoula
people remember Joe Reese who lived
as hunter and trapper for many years
along the St. Regis. His headquarters
for long time were with Sandy Cam
cron at the Ferry, and those who had
the good fortune to be the guests Of
this pair of royal hosts during that
period will never forget Joe. He was
the major domO of the house and was
one of the best hunters. finest cooks
and most artistic liars that ever struck
this region. Joe Sawhil has just re-
ceived q letter from Reese in which
the latter says that he expects to re-
turn to Montana before long. He is
recovering from wounds received in the
charge at San Juan, where he was a
member of the Roosevelt rough riders.
and participated in all of the fighting
of that famous command. He enlisted
from Arizona and returned to that ter
ritory as soon as the war was ended.
He expects to come North again as
soon as his health will permit. In the
meantime his friends, who had been
wondering what had become of him,
will be glad to know that he came out
of the war alive. It would take more
than Spaniard to kill Joe, anyway
