The Beers seem to be getting the
better of the English soldiers in their
fight fer liberty. In nearly every
battle so far fought victory has
crowned their arms. They have
proven themselves to be a brave,
courageous and humane people who
are determined to maintain their in
dependence at every hazard. Know
ing ones say, however, that in the
end they will become slaves of Eng
lish masters and subjects of the
kingdom of Great Bfitian, but not
until after prolonged contest and a
desperate resistance.

Missoula Is Interested,

Missoula, May 22.-There is much To-
cal interest taken in the situation in
the Coeur d'Alene country, as much of
the wholesale business Of this city was
done with that district before the shut
down occurred. The news that there is
to be no delay in the construction of a
mill to take the place of that destroyed
by the rioters, is considered here to be
a good indication and there is much
satisfaction expressed that the con-
tract for a large amount of the lumber
for the mill has come to a Montana
mill. 1t is also considered a good omen
that Superintendent Mcdonald of the
Frisco is to assume the management OF
the Bunker Hill and Sullivan property.
Mr. Mcdonald is well known here, and
those who know him we'll say that his
conservative judgment will do much to
quiet the unsettled feeling in the un-
fortunate district.

They Want Mckinley,

Hamilton, May 22.-The people of
Hamilton are already beginning to ag-
gitate the possibility of President Nc
Kinley coming to Hamilton if he
reaches Missoula on his Western trip,
and feel that it would not do to let
the chief executive of the nation visit
Montana without seeing the garden
spot of the state. to say nothing of the
Bitter Root stock farm and the horses
which have made it's name familiar to
all newspaper readers of the world. 1t
is probable that if the people of Mis-
soula take hold of this matter in
earnest they will find that the Hamil-
ton people will organize to assist and
cooperate with them.

Has Fully Recovered.

Mssoula. May 22.-Joe Nagel has
fully recovered from his attack of
smallpox and is looking like himself
again. He has one eye yet, but says
that he feels better than ever. There
is no truth in the statement that has
been made that Mr.. Nagel contracted
the disease from contact with one Of
his wagons that had been used in
transporting smallpox patients. None
of his wagons were used for that pur-
pose before he was taken i'll and his
barn has been thoroughly fumigated.
In some way the impression has gone
abroad that the place is infected. By
reason of the stringent measures taken
by the board of health to correct any
carelessness that there had been in con-
nection with the handling of the earlier
cases, this place and all others where
there was any danger of infection
were thoroughly cleansed. All reports
to the contrary are calculated to injure
the city and are without foundation,

Attempted Suicide.

Missoula, May 22.-Laura Paine, a
woman who lives in one of the cribs on
lower Front street, attempted to COM
NIT suicide at an early hour this morn
ing. She chose the laudanum route and
had a good start on the journey over
the range when her condition was dis
covered by one of her neighbors. Dr..
Rockman was at once summoned and
soon had the gentle Laura turned
wrong side, out, SO that the trip. was
postponed. Laura does not state why
she was weary of travelling this side
of the range, but her neighbors say
that she had recently been deserted by
her lover and that she had been de-
spondent for while before she took the
dose that was intended to end all her
troubles. She is now all right and feels
better

An Example.

Missoula, May 22-The work that the
street department has done on Higgins
avenue this spring already shows that
little systematic improvement of the
avenue will make it a fine thorough
fare. In spite of the heavy rains of the
last few days, there has not been any
of that offensive mess in the cutters
that was there six weeks ago during
the wet period, and many of the lakes
that adorned the surface of the avenue
have disappeared. This shows that the
avenue can be made an excellent mod
ern street instead of dirty country
highway, if the department will do Its
work properly.
The Anaconda standard., 1899-05-23

regards the helpless bird and beast
world, and higher conception, both
aesthetically and in business way,
of the wealth of game and fish fast dis
appearing. This cultivation of public
sentiment may be reached in part by
agitatng the question, but for some IL
must be by the heavy arm of the law.
which under present conditions, is ex-
ceedingly difficult.
One more charge I wish to lay to the
present law. 1t is Matchmaking
scheme. One-half the fine goes to the
state, the other to the party securing
the conviction. The county pays the
freight. Inaugurate such a scheme in
any large city and what Would be the
result? No one can predict. The coun-
ty wardens, the few there are now, are
paid a small amount for service. 1t is
stated if they are any good they will
make it up in fines. This leads them
not to the stopping of offenses, but to
the punishment for offenses after they
are committed. 1t is considered poor
warden who will not make arrests and
convictions. The offender is tempted
to resist because the warden is after
his fine. rather than to enforce law. 1t
is a bad condition and should not be
tolerated longer in this great state.
Pay the warden. fine the offender and
put each on it's own footing.
One thing is certain. At the next ses-
sion of the legislature something must
be done. I am glad to see the question
agitated now by the state organiza
tions. BY beginning in time something
may be done. 1t will require concen-
trated and concerted action to remedy
the evils outlined above. But we read
also the enforcement of the present
laws now. There is in this state a
branch of the League of American
Sportsmen. of which I have the honor
of being the chief officer, whose motto
is, "Enfore the laws, make better laws
and educate public sentiment This
| league now has in the state, in different
portions 1853 members. They have al
! ready accomplished a great deal. They
| stand out boldly and tell the violators
| to call a halt. They are pushing for
| wardens in every county where they
| have a number of members. They re-
ceive no compensation they get many
hard names, but they deserve support
| and should have membership five
| times as large.
If this article, already too long, shows
up the deficiencies of the present law,
| stirs up a discussion and starts the
| people to thinking, I shall be satisfied.
As for myself, am trying to serve the
state without pay, doing much tedious
work gratuitously, receiving the i'll will
of many, and under the present law
with poor chance of success I have
prepared a large number of cloth post
ers, outlining the present law, for tack
ing up in conspicuous nlaces. Friends
of game and fish can aid very much by
writing for these and tacking them up
on their ranches and in conspicuous
| places. And above all. see to it that the
law is enforced. Respectfully.

ately, but it takes the monologuist
long time to get ready. He will spend
the next few days in Butte and then
will return to arrange for farewell
appearance in Missoula. The exact
programme for this performance has
not been decided upon, but Mr. Mcguire
has in mind a plan that will prove in
teresting to Missoula people. 1t is now
his purpose to give the same enteratin-
ment that he gave in Missoula more
than 20 years ago, when he first came
through here with what he now calls
his zone man show" 1t may be that
he will change his mind, but it is to be
hoped that he will not. All of the old
recitations and characteriZations would
prove very entertaining to those who
attended the Mcguire show in the old
days, when he made Baron O'Keefe
more than locally celebrated. They
would be doubly interesting to those
who have never heard them, as they
will demonstrate what constituted a
performance in those old days of stage
coaches.

Improving the Grounds.

Missoula, May 22.-The work Of grad
ing and improving the grounds of the
State university has advanced mate
rally during the past two weeks and
the general plan of arrangement of the
grounds can be seen. That they will,
when completed, be the finest grounds
in the state seems certain. The funds
at the disposal of the building commits
sion and the local board of trustees of
the university will not permit any ex-
tensive work this spring, but enough
will be done to get the work well start
ed. 1t is hoped that sufficient funds
will be at hand next season to make
even a more marked advance in the
preparat ton of the grounds.

New Lumber Plant,

Missoula, May 22.-The work on the
new lumber plant of the St. Regis
Lumber company on the lower river
is progressing rapidly and the plant
will soon be ready for operation. The
mill will be the most modern in the
state in its machinery and arrange
ment and will have a capacity that
will nearly equal the big mills at Bon
ner and at Hamilton. Just how soon
the mill will begin to ship lumber is
not known, but it is thought that it
will not be more than eight weeks
from now
