Upon lifting the pattern and trans

There are two points to observe
in this simple process, if you would
execute it satisfactorily. One is,
see that your material is level-cut
and folded by a thread-and that
your design is placed upon it evenly
at every point.
The second is, when placed accu-
rately, secure the design to the ma
terial with thumb tacks or pins so
that they cannot slip during the
operation.

A BRIDGE OF SMILES.

Even as Venice OF old had her
Bridge of Signs. SO now Missoula has
her Bridge OF Smiles. II is one long
procession of smiles that moves back
and forth across the new Higgins
avenue bridge; the man who steps
upon the deck of the handsome
structure for the first time smiles in
voluntarily, just as he did the first
time a barber shaved him; he is proud
and happy. As he meets others cross
ing the bridge. he smiles at them and
they smile at him. The new bridge
Is the happiest place in the world these
days No matter how grumpy you
feel when you reach the bridge, you
smile when YOU step on II and you
smile again when you see others smile.

caused many of us to ask ourselves,
What is the truth about Mexico?'
For almost generation we have
watched the development of Mexico
under the administration OF Diaz. the
beneficent despot. We have seen such
progress made as has seldom been
recorded in the history of any nation
We have regarded Diaz as an autocrat
but as patriotic antoerat, with a
single purpose In life and that the
civilization of his country and its de-
yelopmcnt along bread. modern lines.
II has seemed to US that the result
of this mans life work has been for
the good OF the country which he has
served so long. II has been. on this
account, something of shock to read
the charges made against the Mexican
government i'm the magazine article
mentioned. Have we been i'm error or
has muck-raker gone mad?
As IL in answer to this question
comes an article in the Bankers
Magazine OF New York, written by a
man who has, according to the
editorial note which accompanies his
story. spent years In Mexico. This is
defense OF President Diaz ana the
assertion Is there made that the
'Barbarous Mexico" story is a libel and
that the statements which IT contains
wero furnished by a fugitive from
Mexican justice: a plottcr against the
Mexican government, a political in
trigue..
So authoritative IL the statement
contained in the Bankers Magazine
that we are constrained to believe II.
which we are all the more willing to
do as II comedies with our own belief

its parts into a happy. prosperous
country which commands the respect
and admiration Of the world for the
advance which 1t has made.
IL we find the Mexican standard OF
morals and of culture different from
our own. we must consider that thirty
years ago the people of the southern
republic We're but little higher in the
scale of civilization than our little
brown brothers in the Philippines;
the gain has been wonderful. the i'm
pr"yement has been marvellous: and
the credit for il is due to Porfirio Diaz
and his twenty-five yeHrs of beneficent

REGULAR SESSION
 OF CITY COUNCIL CITY FATHERS ALLOW ALL MONTHLY EXPENSES Fire Department Discussed and New
 Equipment Ordered

The city council met in regular ses- sion Tuesday evening and proceeded to clean up the outstanding indebti- ness against the town. The fire de- partment question was taken up and discussed at length with the result that two hose reels were ordered. This is an essential improvement with the contemplated equipment. The matter of a new fire bell was brought up when it was learned that the terms and prices of several concerns would be submitted at the next meeting, at which time a selection will probably be made. It will be remembered in this connection that Fire Chief Bracket a few weeks ago gave notice through the papers that the fire bell would ring at noon on Saturday and for the people of the town not to become alarmed. At noon on the appointed day one of the firemen grabbed the rope and began swinging the bell back and forth. but the sound was not heard on Main street. The people were greatly disappointed in not being frightened. but such was the case.
 In the matter of the tapping of the mains for the new waterworks plant and the installation of the piping be- tween the mains and tine curbs the con- tract was formally signed up between the city and contractors, Riggs and Phelps. It is understood that the contractors will commence on the work at a very early date and rush it to completion.
