An Anxious Clamor.

Missoula, Oct. 30.-There is still an
anxious clamor to know when Con-
tractor Jennings intends to do the
work that he has agreed to do on the
Marshall grade. The season is now
we'll advanced and there is no sign
that he intends to fulfill his agreement,
though he has furnished bonds The
people east of Missoula, who have &C.
casion to come frequently to town, are
eager for free road to Missoula.
Their case has been frequently pre-
scented and there is no argument
against what they ask for. They are
entitled to a road that is passable and
ought to have it. Still. there is no
movement to indicate that they will
get it.
The next time that the county COM
missioners advertise for bids they will
probably exact the deposit of a certi-
fed check as evidence of good faith
on the part of the bidders. This is
customary everywhere else, and, had
the commissioners adopted this plan
this year, they would have been saved
lot of delay and annoyance. The
city council, too, has had much the
same experience. In the advertisements
for bids for the Higgins avenue work
they exacted no deposit and much
time was lost in the consideration of
bids that were evidently fakes. This
experience ought to convey lesson.

as I have said. there may be contingent

A DEPUTY IS ARRESTED
Charged With Exhibiting a
Deadly Weapon.
HUNTING FOR FUGITIVES
Idaho That Is Looking for
Escaped Wardner
Prisoners.

Missoula, Oct. 30.-A. r. Robinson,
a United States deputy marshal from
Idaho, was arrested Sunday by Con-
stable Massey of Thompson and Har-
ry Logan of this city. He was arrest
ed on a charge of exhibiting a deadly
weapon, not necessarily in self-defense.
The offense for which he was arrested
occurred during the time he and sew
eral others came into this state from
Idaho looking for three escaping min
ers from the bull pen at Wardner.
They were at Thompson when during
the day he drew revolver and threat
ened to do bodily harm. The officers
heard that he and party of Idaho
people were in the country around
Quartz and Fish creek, and went down
and found them and placed Robinson
under arrest. He was taken to Thomp-
son, where he will have a hearing.
The Idaho party that is looking for
the escaped miners are Sheriff Suther-
land, Coroner France, Deputy United
States Marshal Smons. Lieutenant
Smithers, six privates and H. r. Rob
inson.
County Attorney Denny and J. M
Evans left this evening for Thompson
where they will appear in the case.

On Easy Street.

Missoula, Oct 3O.-Said local whole
sale dealer to-day: 1.-THE farmers of
this part of the state ought to all be
on Easy street this fall. They have
found this year the readiest market for
their farm products and have all OBJ
tanned good prices. The demand for
Western Montana vegetables this fall
has been the greatest that have ever
known. Then, too, the short crop Of
hay in other parts of the state has
made the demand for good hay from
the Bitter Root and Missoula valleys
early and strong. There have been
more oats and hay shipped from the
Bitter Root valley this fall UP to date
than had been shipped last year at the
end of the winter We are still rustling
for cars and have hard work getting
enough. The cold weather has made
it risky shipping potatoes in ordinary
cars and the refrigerator cars are not
easy to get. The farmers are very slow
in loading on this account and we are
behind in our orders. The farmers have
obtained big prices for their crops, but
I do not think that the later prices will
be as high, as some seem to think.
Anyway, the Western Montana farmer
is a lucky man this year. He will have
a merry Christmas, if ever he had

whom are from the Cape Nome district.
The aggregate wealth of the passengers
is placed at more than $2,000,0O0. Cspe
Nome seems to be rising in the estimation
of the miners. who say that the district
is far richer than the 1llondike. though
not so healthy. Sanitary conditions are

Missoula Awaiting Decision In the
Tax Case.

Missoula Awaiting a Decision in the
Tax Case.
Missoula, Oct. 30--The decision of
the federal court in the reservation
tax cases will be waited for with anx-
iety by the people of this county. Much
depends upon this decision, as the
county is put to considerable expense
in serving processes on the reserva-
tion and yet has been unable to col
lect any taxes from there. The evil
dence in the case was taken before
Referee Burleigh in Helena last week,
and is now in the hands of the court.
The county was represented by Coun-
Stiff. The federal government was
represented by the district attorney.
While it is not possible to foresee the
result of the case, 1t is the opinion
of those who have followed the tes.i-
mony that, if the Stevens treaty is
taken as a basis for determining who
are properly wards of the governme ut
and therefore exempt from taxation,
there will be many persons on the re-
serve who are liable to assessment and
taxation. There are, beyond any doubt,
many residents of the reservation who
are not entitled to the protection which
belongs to ward of the government.
They are not members of the confed-
Grated tribes and their tribal connec-
tons do not entitle them to be classed
among those who are specified in the
Stevens treaty as entitled to residence
on the reservation by reason of their
connections. This question is one
which has attracted much attention in
recent years and is one which means
much to this county. 1t would seem
that if the county is to bear the eX-
pense of civil and criminal actions
arising on the reservation, it should
be entitled to collect some taxes there

Missoula, Oct. 3O.-There is on exhi-

den the largest turnip that has been
shown in this section. 1t measures 40
inches in circumstances and weighs 45
pounds. It is Of the ordinary fiat white
variety and was raised by B. A. Rozier
on the William Maclay ranch. 1t has
attracted much attention among the
farmers and there have been many dis
appointing guesses as to its weight. Tt
is the biggest thing in it's line that has
ever been seen here, and it was grown
without irrigation.

known Lolo Hot Springs. This is con-
sidered a fortunate investment for Mr.

known that the Northern Pacific has
decided to build. the cutoff through the
Lolo pass. The road will pass through

Digging a Sewer.

Missoula, Oct. 3O.-The sewer on
Woody avenue opposite the European
hotel is. being dug up and new sewer
pipe will be laid. 1t was found that
the reason that the sewer is not cs.y-
rying off the water is that the roots
of the large shade trees, have grown
through the pipes and have complete
ly clogged them up. The same thing
happened to the sewers around the
court house square, which had to
be taken up and replaced with new
ones last spring.
