Missoula. March 24.-President Wal
lace. General Manager Murray and Su-
perintendent Sommers of the Rocky
Mountain Bell Telephone company have
been making Mssoula a short visit
Mr.. Sommers, in response to an inquiry
from a Standard reporter. said last
night: We will build in Missoula tn 6
year I am quite certain. Our present
plans call for the beginning of work
on the new block at once and when it is
finished MissOula will have a model
telephone building"
Mr. Sommers says that the company
is much pleased with the success of the
new line into the Occur d'AIene country.
It was finished late in the season and
there were many predictions that it
would be down half the time during the
winter. 1t stood all right however,
and there has not been a day during
the winter when 1T was not ready for
service. This record. considering the
rough country that the line traverseS.
is remarkable and shows that the line
was well built.

Missoula, March 24.-There Is already
heard in the land the complaint of the
house-oWner, concerning the depreda-
lions of the marauding cow The soft
ening of the ground renders lawns and
gardens an easy field for the operations
of these hovines. The cattle, too, are
very hungry at this season and the
man who has lawn or shrubbery is kept
on guard all the time to ward off the
attacks of these creatures. The city
has difficult task before it this sum-
mer as the people who are interested
in the improvement Of the town w IL
demand protection from the awful cow.

to some of the numerous brutes with
