Having a Good Time.

MissOula, July 21.-Jerry Virgins is
sojourning on the Washington coast
and is having as good time as any
man can have who is accustomed to the
pleasant climate of Missoula and leaves
it. He writes to the Standard from
Westport, Wash. that the country there
is all right, but that he cannot get along
well on the prevailing diet of salt water.
sea weed and sand biscuit. He would
exchange all that he has seen to eat
in that region for a Missoula lunch
and some Garden City beer. jerry has
sent to the Standards cabinet collec-
ton shell that he says is that Of a
first cousin to a clam. 1t is a curious
one, but he says that he has some that
are queerer. Some of the clans grow
whisllers on that coast and he has Sc
lected some of them to bring home. He
would not trust them to the mail, lest
the whiskers drop off in transit.

GRAZING UNDER PERMITS
Sheep Do No Harm on the Lewis
and Clarke Reserve.
HEADWATERS OF STREAMS
Are Protected by Certain Restrictions to
Which the Sheep Owners Agree.
The Plan Is a Satisfac-
tory One.

Missoula, July 21-A Standard re-
| porter called upon Superintendent Col
| Inns of the Montana forest reserves this
afternoon to obtain his views in regard
to the grazing of sheep on the re-
serves, which is just now attracting so
much attention in Utah and Colorado
and is exciting vigorous discussion of
the matter by sheepmen and the reserve
superintendent. Last winter the Mon
tana Legislature passed a memorial ask
ing that the regulations of the land de-
partment be SO modified as to permit
the sheepmen to pasture their focks on
the reserve. AT that time Mr.. Collins,
in an interview in the Standard, said
that he thought that this would not in
terfere with the purposes of the re-
serve system, provided certain restric-
tions were placed upon the grazing.
This afternoon, when shown the Stand
ards Washington letter concerning the
protests of the Utah sheepmen, Mr.. Col
Inns said:
''Of course. | cannot speak concern
ing the Uintah reserve, as | do not
know anything about the situation
there. Conditions vary considerably.

Montana we have but one reservation
upon which application has been made
for grazing permits, the Lewis and

serve between 10000 and $4,000 sheep
grazing under permits This does not
interfere with the purposes for which
the reserve system was created. either
in the conservation of the water supply
or in the preservation of forests We
place certain restrictions upon the graz
ing, so that the sheep are not allowed
to feed within a mile or two of the
headwaters of streams that have their
sources in the reservations Each sheep
owner is given a township map that
shows clearly where his stock may
range, and as long as he remains within
the boundaries that are set for him the
reserve is not injured in the least. The
same practice prevails in the Washing
ton reserves, and it is pronounced sat

Another Mystery.

Hamilton, July 2.-Hamilton and Ra-
valli county have furnished a number
of mysteries during the past few
months, and up to date they have all
been unraVeled. The latest one comes
from across the river. AL. Downing
came in yesterday afternoon and re-
ported to the sheriff's office that he
had found a mans clothing on the
banks of Roaring Lion creek on Tues
day. There We're shoes. hat, coat and
vest, trousers shirts and bed clothes.
The suspicious part of the affair is,
Mr.. Downing says, the fact that the
vest and shirts are cut through as If
the cutting was done to remove the
garments from a body, and that there
is some blood on one of the shirts.
He stated that the day before he was
coming along the road and saw a
wooden box some four feet long and
about two feet wide lying alongside
the road. He got off his wagon and
put the box on, thinking that some
one passing along there had thrown it
away. When he arrived home he
found a necktie inside, which had been
cut with a knife, and there were some
stains on the bottom of the box. He
returned the next day and found the
clothing back a little from the point
where he had picked up the box. The
sheriff will thoroughly investigate the
affair to-day and endeavor to solve
the mystery of his clothing being in
such an unlocked for place.

lision occurred this week at Gold Creek,
prevented the results of that accident
from being very serious. When the col
lision occurred train IS was at a stand
still on the main line. Train 81, which
was approaching from the east, was to
take tn" siding at Gold Creek, but the
air brakes failed ito work and it was
not possible to stop the train at the
switch Mr. Wilson was watching the
approach of the train from his cab and
noticed the failure of the train to stop
at the switch. Surmising that something
was wrong. he reversed his engine and
started to back up as fast as he could.
BY the time the westbound train struck
his engine he was moving about eight
miles an hour. and this made the result
of the bump much less serious than it
would have been had he remained at
StandStill.

An Important Meeting.

Missoula, July 21.-The meeting of the
board of county commissioners that
will be held next week is of the utmost
Importance. The questions that will be
considered at this meeting will include
many important road matters. among
them that of the road from Missoula to
Bonner. This question has been dis
cussed very generally this summer and
there have been many solutions offered,
none of which have been adopted. The
question seems to have narrowed down
to choice between the purchase of
the Bandmann toll road and bridges
and the cutting of the Marshall grade
to an easy incline This latter plan
Will involve cut AZ feet deep, and the
lowest estimate that has been made
upon the cost of this work is $4,000.
There We're some bids submitted that
were lower than this, but they have
since been declared off. The only bid
that stands is that of a local firm for
$4,000. The objection that is urged
against the purchase of the Bandmann
road and bridges is that the bridges are
worn out and will soon have to be re-
built. The opinion Of several bridge ex-
perts is to the contrary and some of
the experts who have examined the
structures say that. with slight repairs,
these bridges will be good for 10 years
yet. This is the problem that the COM
missioners have to solve. 1t is a serious
one. The people and the large business
that lie east of Missoula demand a free
means of getting to and from the city.
The days of paying toll should be de-
clared past. In one or the other of the
ways mentioned the commissioners will
have to provide this means and the rub
comes in deciding between them.

Hamilton, July 21.-It has developed
that Nelse Peterson, the self-confessed
murderer of Andrew Nelson, in jail
here, is not without means, as is gem
orally supposed. John Anderson, a
prominent man among the Swedes of
Stevensvlle, is in possession of au-
thentic letters showing that Peterson
has $1,000 in a st. Paul bank and has
coming to him from an estate in
Sweden 5000 krone, which amounts to
nearly $1,000 in money. Peterson does
not intend that the lawyers shall get
the works, as he says that $500 is all
he will pay for a defense. He has
been reading the Bible necessarily for
the last few days and appears to take
much comfort in ii.

DeStrnYed by Fire.

Missoula, July H.-The sawmill of w.
j. Kendall, near Florence, on the Bit
ter Root branch, was destroyed by fire
last night, the blaze originating in the
engine room. A high wind was blowing
at the time and the flames spread 50
rapidly that the entire mill burned in
30 minutes. There was no insurance.
The amount of the loss cannot be esti-
mated until it is learned how much of
the machinery was ruined. Mr.. Kendall
was here to-day on his way to the mill
from Bonner and said that he had been
Informed that the engine and boiler
and the planer and edger We're not
seriously damaged. If this be true, the
loss will not be as great as was feared.
Mr.. Kendall left for Florence tonight.

County Commissioners.

Hamilton, July 21.-The county COM
missioners held a session yesterday to
consider the matter of advertising for
bids for bridges and repairing wash
outs on county roads from the recent
high water. They decided to build
1870 feet Howe truss span at Corvallis
to take the place of the piling which
washed out at the east end of the Cor
wallis bridge, which it is said will make
that bridge passable during any future
stage of water. Down near Florence,
just west of the Eight Mile bridge,
three small bridges will be put IN,
which will require considerable lumber.
These bridges will be so feet, 80 feet
and 90 feet respectively. The upper
valley will also receive some attention
in road matters. 50 feet span will
be built across the South Fork of the
West Fork to replace the bridge that
went out last mofith, and a contract
is to be let for the reconstruction Of
a piece of washed out road on the West
Fork. The distance is go rods, 300 feet
of which run along the river bank and
will be built with cribbing. Bids will
be advertised for covering this work,
and it is estimated the cost will reach
between $500 and $4,000. The com
missioners will meet again in extra ses-
sion Aug. 7, to let the contracts.
In addition to the improvements and
repairs above noted, several washouts
on the East Fork, between the mouth
of Medicine creek and Ross Hole will
be repaired, and the road supervisor
of the Victor district was instructed to
do $500 worth of work on the Strange
crossings, opposite Victor.

in this county, and when she arrived
at Missoula she expected him to meet
them there, but he failed to appear
upon the scene. She went on to Victor,
but Cornell was not there, and after
remaining at Victor six days she came
on to the county seat with her chill
dren, reaching here with less than 81
in money. Cornell is an engineer and
is said to have been in the valley some
time ago, but nobody appears to know
what has become of him. The sheriff S
office will likely investigate the mat
ter and make an effort to locate the
missing man.

are engaged in the exploration of the
western portion of the state from a

splendid lot of fossils has been found
near Drummond and that some of the

Missoula. July 2l.-The long continued
hot, dry weather is running the hay and
grain crops in sections where there is
no irrigation. Reports from the lower

who irrigate at all, are to the effect
that the crop there will be very short.
In sections where the farmers have ir-
rigated the crop will be good this year,
especially the hay, which is now being
