THE COLLEGE POEM.
Another selection by the orchestra this
time from the "Isurgomaster. was fol-
lowed by the class poem written and
read by Mr.. Thatcher Rowland Guild.
The poem was characteristic OF Mr..
Guild and was good example OF some
of the literary work which he has accom-
plished while in college. The entire work
was exceptionally good. but the follow
ing stanza's express the best part OF the
poem:

That Neglected Cemetery.

This paper again desires to call the
plorable condition of the west side
cemetery, and earnestly urge that
proper steps be taken in this matter.
It may not he generally known that
the land now occupied for burial pur-
poses is owned by the Anaconda Cop
per Mining Co. 1t is not inconceivable
that the company might at any time
demand that the ground be vacated.
This would involve great and needless
expense.
The place is unfenced and stock
trample over the graves at will. OF
course no concerted attempt has been
made to beautify the grounds. In
short this cemetery is conspicuous
example of public neglect for which
the local public is certainly deserving
of the gravest ccnsure.
It is not too late to set the matter
right, however, and to this end Gem
tetery association should be formed
which will take hold of the matter in !
business like way. An association could
secure title to the land plot, at and be
able to give title to the owners of lots.
/ The cemetery should be fenced, trees
set out and a concerted effort made t.
Ebeautify the grounds. Unless some
action be taken it may become nee
Eessary at any time to seek "a. nes
graveyard and ruthlessly disturb tn
tsleep of the dead.

clusively, indeed it has been found
among infants at the breast. offer
no argument against the first ofthesc
cases to-wit: the dust from the pine
timber, for think it entirely unnec-
cessary.
There has been much said by the
press of this state recently which does
violence not only to Ravalli and Mis-
soula counties, but the entire state
inasmuch the major proportion of
such statements as have come TO my
observation are misleading and most
conspicuously inexact. One special
feature I will mention is, that it has
been said chat this fever is universally
fatal, there having been ne recoveries.
This statement is without Foundation
and is therefore false. While it is
true that this is very malignant and
dangerous disease, yet 1T does not
follow that 1t is not amenable to
proper and judicious treatment, for
in a majority of instshces where
strictly anti-zymotics'or anti-malaria
treatment has besg heroiclyy carried
out, they have 1ecovered. This has
not occurred to me only, but to, other
physicians in the valley who have
taken the same view Of its nature as
l have done.
As to it's symptoms and treatment,
I shall have nothing to say. leaving
that to the good Judgment of the at
tending physician in each case. l
have only written this for the purpose
Of presenting to the laiety something
in regard to it's nature and also with
the hope that will hereby be able to
suggest relief to those residing upon
the west side and whose property has
been so deprecated by the statements
Of the press, as we'll as, also, the dan
gers bv which they are really sur
rounded. Assuming that / am COR
rect as to it's cause, treatment IS at
once suggested to the mind Of all as
to the best and only methods of
wiping it out Of existance, that IS by
hacking and cutting a sufficient
amount of the foliage producing
brush of these swamps at time when
it's foliage is at its fullest height and
waitlng q reasonable time for it to
dry and then touch match to it
which will not only burn these dry
leaves but by their great flames will
kill the rest of the varieties.
In conclusion I wish to say that
since we do not know what particular
one of these brushes it Is whose foil
age, when decomposed, gives rise to
these germs 1T would become neces-
sary TO kill the whole of this shrub
berry or timber. This being done the
cause is at once removed aud the
effect ceases; the health of the. COM
munity restored and the real estate
and property of those upon the west
side will at once demand its full value
and the stigma which now rests upon
Ravalli and Missonla counties, as
we'll as the entire state OF Montana,
will be removed.
] trust that the efforts which ara
now being put forth by the board ol
health of this state will be crowned
with success, and I also invite their
attention to my theory and if | can
be of assistance to them 10 arriving
at just conclusion, l will be pleased
to do so.

BRIDGE WORK PROGRESSING.
The Clark Avenue Viaduct Will Be
Ready For Traffic the Last
of November.

The work on the Clark avenue via
duct over the G. s. A. and Wabash
railroad yards is progressing nicely
The north abutment vas finished
last week and work on the south
standard has commenced.
The north abutment contains "a
car loads Of material and there will be
20 car loads in the one to the south
on account Of the softness of the
ground to the north the structure
there was sunk deeper.
Mr.. Bowers, the bridge gang super
intendent, told a LEDGER reporter
that the bridge should be completed
late in November. He states that
there will be fast time made in the
construction after the abutments are
completed, as the iron work is all
ready and part Of it is in the yards
here.
Tit bridge will be four feet higher
from the tracks than the old one
thereby reducing the danger to train
men, by being struck while on top OF
the trains, to nothing.
The upper works on the bridge will
be higher, also, than the old bridge
but it will be all steel.
When finished, the bridge, which
