ABOOSTER WITH HAREPUTATION

Last nights train brought home
from an eastern trip man who has
been known for many years as a
booster for his profession and for his
friends and who, during the past year,
has settled upon Missoula as his per-
manent home. DR. Riesland has been
in the northwest for 20 years. II was
IA years ago that he made his first
visit to Missoula during the time that
ensued, he has been a more or less
frequent visitor until, recently he de-.
cided that of all the places that he
knew, Missoula was most pleasing as
a permanent location and that he
would make this his home. So he
came here and here he says he is
going to stay; his home office is in
the Hammond building in Missoula
and he is known as DIR. Riesland of
Missoula throughout the state, which
is not a bad thing for Missoula and
the doctor says he finds it is a good
thing for him. An enthusiast in his
profession of optometry he is ener-
getic in the promotion of the interests
OF the city which is his home. He

has convinced him more strongly than
ever that Missoula is one Of the most
highly favored places on the map. In,
terested in his work, he finds time to-
devote to the furtherance of the in
terests of his city and his boosts for
Missoula are emphatic. He has had
an interesting career; born in Three
Rivers, Wis, he went to Chicago as
a young man and there prepared for
and entered upon the practice of
optometry; after a few years of prac-
tice in Chicago, DR.. Riesland came
west to new territory; he travelled a
great deal for more than 20 years and
has an acquaintance in all Of the
towns of the northwest. AS has been
stated he settled upon Missoula as
his home after he had seen all of the
other important places of this part of
the country; he likes Missoula be-
cause it is the right sort of place and
here ne is going to remain. according
to his declaration. He has spent his
life in optical work and has a thor

MORE: EVANGELISM
is KEYNOTE
SOUNDED
MORE ACTIVITY ON THE PART OF
THE CHURCH is URGED
AT CONVENTION,

Denver, May 22.-Less stately
treading' and more democracy; less
lounging in the luxury of the church
waiting for the sinner to approach
and more evangelism among the loWly
were the keynotes sounded at today's
sessions of the general assembly Of
the Presbyterian church. The lead in
advocacy of this doctrine was taken
by John Converse, president of the
Baldwin Locomotive works of Phila-
delphia, who, in presenting his report
as chairman of the committee on
avangelistic work, said that the church
out after the sinner, and had been
content to rest in state, awaiting the
approach Of the seeker for solace.
There were other features Of the as
sembly today which made it note
worthy. One was the gathering of
the "blue and gray" veterans. This
little assembly of grizzled warriors
was addressed by Dr. Barkley, the
moderator-elect, who is a former con-
federate veteran. Old times were re-
vived and a new comradeship vowed
under both the banner of church and
state.
1t is regarded as possible that the
next assembly will convene at Atlantic
City, though bid for the meeting has
been made by both Cleveland and
Seattle.
Tomorrow there will be devotional
services and a sermon by the new
moderator in the Central Presbyterian
church, and huge parade of Sunday
school children in the afternoon.
