SHOWN THE SIGHTS.
Senator BabcOck Was Favorably I'M
pressed With Missoula.


pressed With Missou1a.
Mssoula. Aug. Ex-senator Babcock,
whose visit to Missoula was briefly
mentioned in the Standard to-day. was
shown the sights of the town by Harry
+. CLANCY, who was formerly fellow
townsman of the senator. When the
drive about the city had been conclud-
ed, Senator Babcock, in conversation
with Standard reporter. said: This
is the first time that l have ever been
in Missoula. 1t is beautiful city. and
you seem to have plenty of business.
| have been over to look at the univer-
sity. and ! am much pleased with the
buildings and their surroundings. Your
city buildings, too, are handsome and
give the city fine appearance"
In response to an inquiry regarding
Billings, Senator Babcock said: We
are having the best year that we have
ever had. The business in June and
July was the largest that the city has
ever seen. There is large amount of
building going on with us, and the out
look for the fall is excellent. Our fall
fair will be held earlier than usual this
year, so as not to interfere with the
meeting of the national irrigating con-
gress in Missoula. The late season and
the fact that we hold the fair early this
year will make our display little
light, I fear, but this was the best ar
rangement that we could make. l
think that we will probably send some
of the display of the fair to Missoula
for exhibition during the meeting of
the congress-
Senator Babcock returned to Billings
on Sunday nights train.
