.LEPER NOT YET FOUND
Victim of Dread Malady Remains
Hidden.
OFFER TO PRODUCE HIM
Man Who Claims to Know His Where
abouts Promises to Turn Hir- Over
to the Authorities for
500.

Missoula, Dec. 25.-Missoula is quite
fortunate in the fact that it is not at
present in possession of any cases of
contagious diseases. Helena, Great
Fails and other places in the state are
having their hands full, and it seems
that instead of the city authorities
getting the best of them the diseases
are getting the best of the city author
tiles. Missoula's health officers are
hard workers and when anything IN
the nature makes its appearance they
get after it at once and everything n
connection with it is quarantined.
There is still mystery about the lepar
case, and it is probable that the vic
tim will never be found. A Missoula
man has offered to produce the sfiict-
ed one on condition that he is paid 800
II he does not produce him he will not
ask for one cent of pay. The city, ia
theirs to whom the proposition was
made have not agreed to the PROPOSE
ton.

STEVENSVILLE NOTES.

The members of the NJ. E. Sunday
school had a very interesting Christ
mas entertainment on the evening of
the 23d in the church, which was sim
ply but handsomely decorated with
evergreens, suitable scripture verse
being over the platform. At one end of
the platform was a Christmas tree,
neatly trimmed with strings of popcorn,
little stars made from paper, which
shone like silver: oranges and boxes
OF candy. A suitable programme was
rendered. Following the first song was
an address by the superintendent, AL
bert May, who gave the children some
good ideas of the sacredness as well
as joyfulness Of Christmas. The rest
responsive readings, rotations, exer-
cises by the younger pupils, and last,
full report of the Sunday school for
this year by the secretary, Miss Edna
Borough Special mention should be
made of the song by little Maude Cal
kins, girl years old Though not
in the least bold, she has perfect control
over herself and her song was appre
ciated by all who heard her as was
shown by the cheering which followed.
She has sweet voice and gives prom
Use of becoming fine vocalist.

UNCLE SAM EAS DOMINION.
Two Islands in the Pacific Where Old
Glory Floats.

Glory Floats.
Out in the wild waste of waters
southwest of Hawaii, 10 days sail from
that island and four days sail from the
nearest land the American flag has
tapped and fluttered over two tiny bits
of land for more than 40 years.
Baker and Rowland are the names of
these old Pacific possessions of ours.
They nestle close to the EQUATOR, near
IT'S longitude, and are marked on every
good-sized map Of that part of the
world. Yet how few of us have ever
known that we expanded in the Pacific
long before the guns roared at Fort
Sumpter?
Peacefully we took possession of
them, peacefully we have held them.
No congressional debates have ever oc-
Cured as to their form of government
no senate has ever been called upon to
ratify an appointment of a governor
over them. In fact, they are so far
from anywhere that even the most per-
sistent office-seeker would scarcely ac-
cept an appointment there.
Rowland or Holland island is the
larger of the two and is separated from
Baker island by an arm of the sea
about 25 miles wide It is about two
miles long and trifie over a half mile
in width. 1t was discovered by Cap
tain G. e. Netcher of the American
bark Isabella, September g. 1912, and
was formally taken possession of by
him the next morning in the name Of
the United States. He raised a flag on
the island and deposited a box at the
foot of the staff containing a record of
what he had done.
In 1857 the island was visited by the
whaling bark Portsmouth. The flagstaff
erected by Captain Netcher also had
been blown down by the winds. but the
bark's captain found the record and
promptly raised another flag. He was
determined that it should stand and
how well he succeeded is shown by the
decaying stump which still stands
there, though another flagstaff was
raised some Is years later on a higher
part of the island, by Commodore
Meade, United States steamer Nara
gansett.
Captain Netcher also discovered an
other island, quite mountainous and
evidently of volcanic origin. about 45
miles north of Rowland, and took pos
session of this also in the name of the
United States. 1t was also reported by
various whaling vessels up to 1868, but
on Commander Meade's visit he report
ed the islands vegetation as consisting
mostly of purslain and grass. Near the
center of the island are thickets of
small trees covering an area of many
acres. The eastern side of the island is
composed of a succession of ridges,
generally of sand and shells. At earlier
stages of the islands growth these may
have successfully formed the weather
shore. Bits of pumice and driftwood
are scattered all over the island but
water may be obtained by digging a
few feet.
In the center the island spreads out
in plain containing about 400 or 500
acres. This is susceptible of cultiva-
ton, but the island would be valueless
were it not for its coral and it's guano
deposits. The guano covers the entire
middle part, from north to south, and
is from six inches to four feet in depth.
At the time of Commander Meades
visit in 1872 the guano export was about

Pastors at the Various Churches Address
Their Congregations

Anelr congregations.
Missoula, Dec. 25.-Christmas SER
mons at the different churches in the
city Sunday We're delivered by the pas
tors and the attendance was unusually
large. Rev. McAllister of the Metho-
dist addressed large audience at both
the morning and evening services and
the music was specially prepared for
the occasion. At the PRESBYTERIAN
church the musical programme was
eXcel1ently arranged and the services
largely attended. The Episcopal church
observed Christmas exercises to-day
and the church was packed. The ser
mon by the pastor, Rev. C. H. Linley
was an able one and held the close
attention of his hearers during the en-
tire discourse. The music was rendered
without fault and is considered the fin
est ever heard in the city. The musi-
cal programme will be rendered again
at next Sundays services.
Midnight mass was celebrated at the
Catholic church last evening and the
building was crowded to it's utmost
The music was grand and the sermon
by the Rev. Father Palladino was con-
sidered one of the best he has ever de-
livered since his arrival in the city.

sLuM TURNED TO GOOD ACCOUNT
wretched London District Turned Into
Pleasant Abode.

Pleasant Abode.
From the London Mail.
The Shoreditch vestry, which has or re-
cent years Justly won for itself the repu-
tation of being a go-ahead, self-goVefning
body has just topped all its previous
achievements by building artisans dwell
ings for the benefit of its poor. This is
feat which no other London vestry has
accomplished. There are three sets OF
these tenements which have been bulit
on the site of what Sir Charles Dixie
once stlgmatzed as being the worst slum
in London in part of Shoreditch, which
goes by the picturesque name of the
"Nile" Several thieves runs" of the
most pestilential description have been
cleared, away and instead there are now
to be seen three sets of handsome brick
buildings five stories high which prac-
tically form new street.
The first of these buildings Is completed
and ready for use and more than 800 APP
plications have been made by people Of
fering themselves as tenants. The build
ings which have cost upward of 917,000,
in addition to the G45,0o0 paid as compen-
sation for the slums which have been
swept away and the cost of the freehold
land on which they stand, have been con-
structed on the most approved method.
and the sanitary arrangements are con-
Sidered perfect
Great care will be taken in the selection
of tenants, only respectable people being
selected. Overcrowding will be absolutely
forbidden-a necessary course, as in
Shoredtch. where the "no-room-to-live
problem is felt most acutely. it is no
uncommon thing for Is or 16 people to
herd in two rooms The rent charged will
be Is Cd for two-room set and rs Cd for
three rooms, which is distinctly below the
average charge in Shoreditch. with inf
nitely better accommodations.
The dwelling will be run on a strictly
paying basis but at the same time phi
lanthropy will not be disregarded, and
serious effort is being made to arrange
matters so as to enable the tenants to
purchase their tenements in the same way
that tenants can purchase their houses
under Mr.. Chamberlains act. Nothing
is definitely settled as yet but it is hoped
that Lord Rosebery, who has always ia
ken a very real interest in the life of
Shoreditch, may ultimately be induced to
open the dwellings. No one would ques-
ton for a moment that Shoreditch de-
served the honor Shoreditch is already
becoming the municipal Mecca of the
world. 1t has been visited by Populations

joyed by the young people. Santa
Claus arrived at the church by tele-
phone and was greeted by the children
with much merriment. Songs and reci-

evening. The church was beautifully
decorated with evergreens and the tree
was heavily loaded with presents.

attractive features of the Christmas
exercises of the public schools was the

little fellows delivery was perfect and
he captured his audience from the be-
ginning.
