GALA DAY LOOKED FOR.
Missoula Will Welcome tho President If
He Goes to That City.

Missoula, May 15.-There has been a
suggestion made to the Standard that,
if the proper invitation is extended,
President Mckinley will stop at Mis-
soula when he makes his promised visit
to Montana. Those who are in posi-
ton to know state that the president VIII
certainly make the trip that has been
planned for him by Senator Carter and
others and that it will not be diff
cult to induce him to add Missoula to
his itinerary. AS at present arranged,
the trip through Montana will include
Livingston, the Yellowstone park, Hell
ena and Butte. Should these places be
visited President Mckinley would SO
his friends say, stop at Missoula If he is
invited. If this is the case the board OF
trade certainly ought to frame proper
invitation and at once prepare to re-
ceive the chief executive, in case the
Invitation is accepted. If President NC
Kinley does stop here on his way west
ward it will be gala day for the city
Thousands of people would come here
to see him and the town would be more
highly honored than it has ever been
by any president. 1t would certainly dc
no harm to extend the invitation.

as soon as they are selected and have
qualified. It was understood that the
appropriations for the purpose would
not be available until the commence
ment of the fiscal year, July 1. but 1t
seems that the rangers are needed ana

lions are being made for the places, and
some will be left because of the num-
Der of applicants. 1t is said that the
o. K of Hon. George 7. Bags is
necessary essential to a successful APP
plication, and many are seeking his
recommendation.

to minors is stopped in this city there
is trouble in store for some of the deal
ers who do this sort of business.

soula he will find mighty fine city and
county that will give him a hearty well
come. even If he is a little off on some
matters.

for commencement week at the state
university will be announced this week
There are a few minor details yet to be
arranged, but President Craig expects
to have the entire programme ready
for publication before the end of the

interest. as it will be the first that has
been held in the new university build
ings and as the class that is to receive
degrees this year is the largest that
has graduated from the university. The
exercises of the last week promise to be
very interesting and large attendance
is expected from outside the city.

their team suddenly on Higgins avenue

Respected Citizen.

TO IMPROVE THE AVENUE
Pave Or Do Something for the
Higgins Thoroughfare.
NOW is THE TIME TO PLAN
After the Mud Disappears Citizens
Most Interested Are Liable to
Forget All About the
Needs of 1t.

Missoula, May 15.-The report of the
street and alley committee to the city
council at the next meeting will be an
interesting one. The subject that will
be covered by the report is the matter
Of paving or otherwise improving Hig-
gins avenue. Chairman Gibson of the
committee, as already stated in these
columns, has interviewed most of the
property owners of the avenue and has
secured an expression of opinion from
them. There are few, if any, who are
not in favor of some permanent i'm
provement of the street this year. Some
are unqualifiedly in favor of paving.
and of these the larger owners seem to
want asphalt pavement. There are
others who think that the time is not
yet ripe for paving, but who want the
street graded and surfaced and stone
cutters constructed, SO that the street
Will always be dry. Either of these
plans would result in much benefit to
the street, and it is hoped that the coun-
Gil will take up the matter in earnest
this year.
For several years there has been a
mild sort of agitation each spring when
the avenue Is ueep IN nud ana water,
but as soon as the season has advanced
so that the mud has dried up the people
have forgotten the discomforts of the
mud until the next spring. It looks
now, however, as if the campaign would
be carried on till the desired improve
ment is made. Two members of the
street and alley committee, Gibson and
Mcbride are directly interested in Hig-
gins avenue. and the third member, Aid =
erman Logan OF the First ward is a
trustee of the Odd Fellows block, and
is known to be favorable to some i'm
provement.

THE NEW SERVICE.
Bitter Root Patrons Awaiting a Read.
juStment of the Gard.

Missoula, May 15.-Passengers on the
Bitter Root branch are anXiously wait
ing for the arrival of May q, the date
set for the inauguration of the new
service on the branch. The present ar
rangement is rather hard on all who go
up to Hamilton. The trip on the mixed
train at present is a long and tedious
one and the early rising that is neces-
sary to catch the train from Hamilton,
4 o'clock in the morning, does not tend
to make the journey popular. This will
all be changed next week. however,
and the valley people are pleased with
the prospect What they want now is a
Sunday train. They are now cut off
from the outside world on Sunday and
are DESTROYS of getting their mail on
that day, if possible. 1t strikes a stran-
ger in these parts. however. as strange
that any man who lives in the midst
of the beautiful surroundings of Ham
ilton should ever want to hear from the
outside.

NEW EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
Dedication Services at St. PauPs Mission
Church at Hamilton.


Church at Hamilton.
Hamilton, May 1.-THE handsome
new church just completed by the Epls-
copalians of St. Paul's mission. which
includes Hamilton and Grantsdale and
vicinity. and as far down the valley
as Corvallis, was dedicated this morn
ing with sermon by Rev. George Ste
wart of Missoula.
The church is very pretty one, both
outside and in. The main body Oh the
church is 42x52 feet, including the car
peted raised portion where the affairs
are, and with a recess in the center OIL
this latter space for the sanctuary. IN
the rear are two rooms, 1ox12, with a
passage way between them, and back
of the sanctuary. One of these rooms
is a sort of cloak room, from which
stairs go down to the basement, Whefe
the heating furnace is. The other
room will be fitted up as sleeping
room for the minister. The roof OF
the building is self supporting. doing
away with the pillars in the body OF
the church. The pews, furniture and
| the roof supports are all of white pine,
oil finished, and the whole effect is
very nice and cheerful. Taken all in
all, the edifce is one of the prettiest
in the city and a credit to the place.
The minister this morning took his
| text from H. Timothy. iv.. 8: mo
man that warreth entangleth himself
with the affairs of this life, that he
may please him who hath chosen him
! to be a soldier" and drew a lesson
from the life of st. Paul, who lived in
life of intense purpose, whether be-
fore his conversion or after his CONVEX
sion, when he asked of the Master,
Lord, what wouldst Thou have me to
do?' The sermon was short, but clear
cut and impressive, and at it's conclu-
sion the sacrament was administered
to number who remained.
The choir. composed of Mrs McMur-
ray, Mrs. f. A. Myers. Miss Mcintosh,
Messrs. Squiers. Hahn, Morris and
| Norbeck, with Mrs. Burns as Crganist,
rendered the music of the morning very
| pleasngly, the voices harmonizing
well.
The church was filled to almost its
! capacity this morning, and st. Pauls
| mission has now a suitable and very
pleasant place in which to worship.

able activity in the mining district that

OLE'S BIG DUMP.
Thrown From His Buggy by His Pet
Crack Roadster.

thrown buggy by Ills rel
Crack Roadster.
Missoula, May 15.-Ole Erickson, the
Bitter Root sawmill man, had mar
row escape from serious injury Sun
day night while on his way home from
Mlssoula. When he was nearing Lolo
the horse that he was driving, his we'll
known roadster, took fright and ran
away. The animal soon became uncon-
trollable and Mr. Erickson was thrown
from the buggy against a fence. His
face and head were cut and scratched
and it was thought that he was serious
ly injured. He was accordingly
brought back to Missoula and a ply
stefan summoned. 1t was found that the
injuries were all superficial and the
sturdy lumberman will soon be at his
mill again. There was considerable
alarm among his friends here when the
accident was first reported, but the
worry soon abated and all are pleased
that the accident did not result more
seriously.

Steadily Advancing.

Manila, March 1G, $50 p. m.-The
first battalion oi the Twentieth
infantry regiment advanced from
Pasig by clearing the country to
Cainti, a well-defended village Of 700
inhabitants, five miles northwest of
the foothills.
The troops first encountered the
rebel outpost in the dense Jungle on
the banks of the river. The enemy
was dislodged after half an hours
fighting.
The American line advanced In
splendid order, under heavy fire,
until it was ready to volley the reb-
els from the trenches. Thelatter had
great advantage and dropped a
number of our men.
The Americans charged across rice
fields, making four advances on the
enemy, who numbered 1000 men, SOC
OF whom were entrenced, and In the
face of a crossfire our troops carried

sumption OF specie payments and the
maintenance of the public credit, with
very pronounced defeat, it has kept
up the fight against protection and
sound money. In 1896 it's passion for
wrongness led it TO cOalesce with
reckless agrarianism, fanatical So
cialism and the most despicuble form
of fiatism. This was the supreme
effort of the party in absolute wrong
ness. 1t totally failed. Today it Is
opposing the grand forward march
Of the republic, cheerfully bearing the
"white mans burden" and intent
upon uplifting some Asiatic peoples
sitting in darkness. The Democrats
have opposed every step of progress
for the past third OF n century. And
next year they announce that they
will continue to do business at the
old stand, shaking out the dirty linen
OF the Chicago platform and oppOs-
ing expansion, although it will, in
1900, be fact very decidedly accom-
plished.
Verify, the Democratic party poses
like the Bocca Fadh i'm MacMaDus'
Irish story, who, with assumptive
air OF intense wisdom. says: Let no
charlatanical fop dare dispute the
atrocious voracity OF my achromati-
cal qualifications, for ] am hetero-
genOus cosmopolite, perambulating
and differentiating intricate problem
atics throughout the extension Of the
different localities, which have mes
merized into conglomerated catas-
