The cold wave which has been in
evidence for the past 10 days all along
the line of the Rocky Mountain divis-
ion Of the Northern Pacific received
a solar plexus blow yesterday when
the mercury clambered from below
zero to 10 and 80 degrees above, with
all indications pointing to decidedly
milder weather to follow immediately.
According to the reports of the
Northern Pacific officials traffic con-
ditions are improving daily and yes
terday morning freight trains were
given additional tonnage east and
west out of Missoula and other ter
minals. The division is handling more
freight trains daily now, and pas
senger trains are reaching Missoula
more nearly on time. There were re-

UNIVERSITY STUDENTS HOLD
MOCK TRIAL COURT

Many of the students Of the state
university were highly amused by a
mock trial given by the young men of
the Hawthorne Literary society. The
crime for which one of the members
of the society was made defendant
was committed in the state OF college
life" it being alleged that he inter-
fered with the freedom of the varsity
co-eds in their strolls about the cam
pus. The trial was carried out in a
realistic fashion, but the merriment
among the listeners in the court room
was caused as much by the confusion
of the witnesses as by the farce crime.
The attorneys worked upon the feel
ings of the jury and court attendants
with eloquent speeches when the court,
Professor Underwood occupying the
bench. dismissed the case stating that
their was no cause for action.

AMOUNTS TO THE SAME THING

Montreal, Que, Jan. 15.-Sir Thomas
Shaughnessy, president of the Cana
dian Pacific railway, says today that
the Canadian Pacific is not in negotia-
ton for the control of the Wisconsin
Central railroad. He adds that he I'M
derstands that the negotiations Of the
500 Line for the control Of the Wis
consin Central are far advanced.
AS the 500 Line Is owned by the
Canadian Pacific, this is a conflrma,
ton of the rumor that the Canadian
Pacific has practically acquired the
Wisconsin Central.

Europe's Dirtiest Town.

All travellers should shun Bor7sfaw,
in Galiciu-''the back of Europe"-
truthfully called the dirtiest place in
Europe. II is the oil trade center and
is decidedly not beautiful. In the main
street all the houses have been built
on mine refuse. and most Of them
have sunk below the level of the
street. In fact. there is not n solid
brick or stone building in the whole
of the town. and many of the houses
