be prepared to face the toll road ques-
ton and to act upon it.
Assessor Prescott is digging UP lot
of property that has escaped assess

Will be a good one this year.
Missoula has many attractions. but
has no right to allow the people of
the eastern part of the county to be
n pat tn
town.
The first instalment of the prairie
schooner has appeared. 1t is now a
settled fact that spring is here. What
the thermometer says makes no differ
ence.
The funeral Of John Garrett was held
from the Baptist church this afternoon,
Rev. F. J. Salsman officiating. There
was large attendance of friends and
relatives.
There are some who contend that
bicyclists should be allowed to ride on
the walks. But these have never been
in collision with the business end of a
bicycle.
There will not be much of a celebra-
ton of May 1 as moving day in Mis-
soula. All houses are occupied and
there is no place for any of the movers
to go to-
1t is not too late to register for an
appointive office under the new admin
istraton. There are not offices enough

Every business man in the city

executive committee of the irrigation
congress. This is the week to sub
scribe. The checks should be big ones,
too. .t9tt
AS the sunshine gets warmer, some
of Missoulas alleys are sending out
large delegations of disease germs.
They are industrious and the health
department should see that they are
checked.
Is your alley clean? If it is rot, it
should be- The man who allows his
premises to become a resting place for
disease breeding heaps of refuse is a
menace to the city. He should be made
to clean up.
The lumberjack is disappearing from
the city, where has has been resting
for two or three weeks. Mills are
starting and the drives are almost
ready and he has gone to accumulate
another roll.
A cedar pavement on Higgins avenue
would give Missoula the finest business
street in the West It would be big
advertisement for the city and would
make the avenue the big business
street of Missoula.
Local merchants are advertising the
meeting of the irrigation congress in
good shape. Most of them have already
had announcement lines printed on
their business envelopes. Bonner &
Price led the way.
The gentle zephyrs Of spring stir up
the dirt that has accumulated on the
bridge during the winter in a manner
that is calculated to cause the street
department to be in bad favor with
the people who have to cross the
bridge
| soula county who will not be benefited
by the meeting Of the irrigation con-
gress in this city. Ravalli and Flat

| The wheelmen are kicking about be-
| ing ruled off the sidewalks. They say
| that they are taxed for their wheels
and that the city does not provide
streets that they can ride on so that
they are compelled to ride on the side
walks. They should organize for good
| streets.
The meeting of the irrigation con-
gress in Missoula means that there will
be at least 200 delegates from outside
the state and as many from different
parts of Montana. These men are ex-
perts in the matters with which the
congress will deal. Their presence in
Missoula will mean much for Western
Montana. Missoula should see to it
that the 1899 meeting is the best that
the congress has ever held.
