Conservative Lawyer
Judge J. M. Evans, Missoula representative
of w. A. Clark, says why he believes in
MiSSOula'S Future

Il think / could assign a hun
dred potent reasons why Missoula is
destined to grow, any one of which
naturally appeals to man looking for
a home.
We have climate unsurpa ssed by
any locality in the world. and. as SEN
ator Clark said when ne started the
construction of his power dam at Bon
ner. we have the mountain passes
through which the transcontinental
railroads must pass. We now have
two transcontnental roads, two
branches. the Lolo Pass road under
construction. the Blackfoot branch to
the Canadian line an assured fact.
surveying parties already in the field
preparing to build across the Flathead
reservation. and other transcontinental
roads projected through this section of
the country.
We have the Bitter Root valley,
destined to be one of the world-re-
nowned valleys. at our door. and every
man and every pound of freight that
goes into or out of the Bitter Root
valley goes through Missoula.
We have the Flathead reservation
opening with an area of tilIabIe land
equal in extent and quality to the
Bitter Root valley. with not yet a fur
row turned.
I'VE have unlimited water for power
purposes running to waste every day
in the year: we have already 5000
horsepower developed at Bonner and
less than 1000 in use.
We have the finest drinking water
and the finest and cheapest system of
electric lighting in the. state of Mon
tana.
We are so strategically located that
we command the territory i'm COM
merciai way from Garrison on the east
to Wallace and Trout Creek on the
west, and for 200 miles north and
south, and with no competing town to
interfere with our commercial suprem-
acy.
We have a system of public schools
equal To any in the state, and have
the state university, which from n
standpoint of commercialism is of
more value to community than the
state capital of great state, and
predict with the completion of the
electric line and better facilities to get
to and from this institution that the
attendance will double and quadruple
in a period of three years.

The idea Of the rest room is
rather new, and its conveniece an d

The Mexico Chapter Of the
Daughters of the American Revo-

The rest room-suggested we be.
lieve first by the MEssAGE-and
then they went before the County

granted at once. The d. A. r.

been their pride and care ever
since.

pictures Of the court house and

what she says will make interest
