LOST FOREST RANGER
RE-APPEARS
YALE MAN WHO LOST HIS WAY
LAST FRIDAY FINDS HIS
WAY TO MIssoULA.

The lost is found. Yesterday Lester
+. Hitchcock. the Yale forestry school
man, who was reported Sunday as
lost in the mountains. reported to the
officers of his party I'm Mssoula after
an absence OF three days. The three
men of the party who were in Mis-
soula yesterday came here Sunday in
hopes Of finding some trace of the
man or of his relatives, several of
whom were supposed to he living
here. but their search was in vain
and they had about given up all hopes
of finding him when he made his APP
pearance.
Hitchcock disappeared on Friday
while travelling with the party over
the mountains from Gold Creek. The
party had started from Parker's ranch
ON Gold Creek and were following the
United States trail over the noun
tains toward Coyote Bill" Beeskove's
ranch on the Rattlesnake. While on
the trail Hitchcock was sent out on
side trail To make some observations
as to its direction and was told to
catch the rest of the party farther
down. This he failed tn do, however,
and when n search was made for him
he was not to be found, The mem
bcrs of the party at once instituted
systematic search for him, keeping
tab on all trails out Of the country.
but were unable to find him, and
finally decided that. as he was an
athletic man, he had started to make
short cut over the hills and had
lost himself in the attempt,
Yesterday, however, he made his APP
pcarance In town. and II seems that
he got mixed up in his directions
after leaving the rest of the crew and
followed the wrong trail up the north
fork of Gold Greek. He wandered
around in this country for IA day and
finally managed to get back to Park
er's ranch. the starting place, whence
he came tn Missoula.
His fellow workers We're overjoved
at finding him yesterday. for he is
popular with his fellows. and his alb
sencc had caused a great deal of anX-
iety among the forestry men.

Petition Granted.


The petition of Frank Pierce was
the first thing considered and his re-
quest that the liquor license now in
his name ne transferred to Hartwell
Pierce was granted.
The petition of Wallace +. Smith
for an extension of his show windows
into the street for a distance of -
inches was. on roll call, not granted.
In taking this action the council took
a new stand in the matter of window
extension. II has long been a mat
ter of debate as to whether or not
the city had any right to grant these
permits Several have been allowed on
Higgins avenue and the aldermen last
night decided to let this practice con-
tinue on Higgins avenue temporarily
but to stop its spreading by refusing
the permission to builders on other
streets.
A plat for a new addition To the
city near the Van Buren, street bridge
was referred to the streets and alleys
committee.
The petition of Peter Davis for a
fruit stand on Higgins avenue was
referred To thes treets and alleys com
mittee.
The petition of II. NJ. Edwards and
others for the building of sidewalks
on Brooks street was referred to COM
mittee.
Several complaints We're heard from
different parts of the business district
regarding the poor street sprinkllng.
II appears that the streets dry during
the middel of the day and that there
are not enough teams at the disposal
of the street commissioner TO permit
continual sprinkling. In view of this.
Mr.. Mayo was instructed to hire AZ
many teams as We're necessary to do
the work.
Several complaints were read re-
garding the campers in Greenough
park and on Cherry street. The
chief of police was instructed to clean
out all camps inside of the city linn
its.
The council then adjourned until
the middle of the day and that there
will not convene until then unless. rs
is very likely. the mayor calls spe-
cial meeting for discussion of tn
Cedar street bridge proposition.

COUNCIL ADVOCATES
NEW BRIDGE
ALDERMEN APPARENTLY FAVOR
CLARK IDEA OF CEDAR
STREET CROSSING.

The Cedar street bridge was again
prominently in the eye of the public
at the council meeting last night and
from Yesterdays developments 1t be
gins to look now as though the struc-
turc were assured. Estimates and
propositions galore We're Offered the
aldermen and through the sefforts of
Alderman Moody. chairman of the
contracts and estimates committee,
the council was able to get a pretty
good idea as to the probable nature
and cost of the structure to be built.
Consulting Engineer Logan had plans
for two styles of bridges, each pro-
vldng for railway track. two road
ways Of IS feet and two six-ToOt side
walks, which are in line with the
ideas of the council as to the nature
of the bridge. The first was deck
plate girder bridge. This will cost,
with concrete flooring. concrete side
walks and two abutments, about $l0,-
02O The other is through girder
bridge. With the same proportions
and specifications, this will cost about
s1O.5O0. Neither of these estimates
provide for flooring, which will have
To be of creosote blocks, or for rail-
ings or fills The final cost of each
will probably be about $4,000. Both
of these plans will raise the bridge
six feet above the present street level
and will make the grade an easy one
for the street cars to take.
There has been considerable talk
among the residents of that part Of
town regarding the bridge. Some of
the people there object To it on the
ground that the raise will make their
property too far below the street
level. The consensus of opinion all
over the city seems To be that the
bridge is virtually necessity. The
present structure is very weak and
and must be replaced before another
spring. in which case it is likely that
the city will take up, if possible, the
proposition offered them. Mr.. Clark
still holds to his original agreement,
and in case the city cares to carry
out the plan. the street railway COM
pany will pay $4,000 toward the cost
of the bridge. The matter was re-
fered to II special committee of which
the mayor is chairman.
The meeting was called to order
with five aldermen present. City Clerk
Kemp is still i'll and Major Bellew
presides over the city's books.

The BOYS gave her the oars Slowly
the steel boat turned into the current
and started up stream. then gradually
the current began swinging the boat
down stream towards the dam.
Look out for the dam" shouted
the campers on the shore at the Y. NJ.
c. A. camp
AS the words reached the ears of
the boys the current had become
stronger. The boat was rapidly APP
preaching the cascades as they Jump
ed to Miss Freeland's aid. BY the
time the boys took hold of the oars
the boat had gotten into the swirl at
the crest OF the dam and the combined
strength OF the children simply served
to stay for an instant the impending
fall.
AS the craft and its human burden
fell into the swirl below, Ruth Pcale
was seen to rise from the waters and
make for the shore, fighting stNrdily
against the v@ril cur@c:t. Then, for

PER DIEM WORK At BUREAU
TWO THOUSAND EMPLOYEES BE-
GIN NEW SYSTEM.
Will Be Docked for Lost Days, But
Pay for Overtime Allowed.
Director Ralph's Statement.

Two thousand employees Of the bureau OF
engraving and printing began work In
that institution today on per diem basis
The order for this new state OF anairs was
issued by Director Ralph. acting under
directions OF Secretary MacVeagh OF the
Treasury. All the employees are affected
except plate printers, who will continue on
piecework. as in the past. There is not
much objection to the order on the part
OF a majority Of the employees, 1t is said.
as no reduction in pay is made. Hereto
fore the employees have been on monthly
salary, and when a day was lost from
work 1t was not deducted. Now the loss
of a days work means a days loss Of
pay, unless it Is taken from the annual
leave Of thirty days, which is not inter
fered with.
Employees will also be paid for overtime,
which they have not heretofore received
under the monthly salary arrangement
The bureau some years ago was on per
diem basis and the officials OF the Treas
ury believe that better work was secured
